Ohio University President Vernon R. Alden rebutted a Columbus Citizen-Journal report on university aircraft use. He said no taxpayer money funded nonofficial trips and that flights were paid by the alumni office, the Ohio University Fund, the athletic department, or firm contributions tied to federal contracts. He cited rising alumni gifts as essential to funding the university, noting $218,000 in 1961-62 and $3.689 million in 1965-66.
