can't do without money

In this month, there are three big activities which are waiting for us to prepare or hold. However, all of the things are not just like what we had imagined before. The problems of Wind City Cup due to money especially. It is the biggest activities which have been taken place by us because all of the six universities in HsinChu would participate in this Cup. On the other hand, owing to this reason, the HsinChu government used to help and support us, two hundred thousand particularly. This is not a small amount of money for student activities. As the result, the teams of department didn’t pay for big amount money if they would play this game.

Unfortunately, the end of the world will be coming eventually. It is hard to understand what the politician is thinking. The new mayor of HsinChu has just taken up the official post for about two months. The first contribution is canceling almost all of the money support of the sport, such as money about maintenance the athletic field, MeiChu, and the WindCity Cup included. We have visited them many times. The first time, he said that if there were money support last year that there are no reason that the money support would disappear this year. Nonetheless, when the second and third time we visited him, he just said that there are not enough funds in the HsinChu government.

It is difficult for us to believe him, because the support have been for the years, this is not the first time. Of course, the canceling the support of MeiChu also make the principals of NCTU and NTHU very angry. We estimated about the money after we knew this news. The result is that there will be an eighty thousand deficit finally. We even thought that we should stop arranging this game. When you don’t know if you can survive tomorrow, you will not make effort any more.
