The Associated Students of UCLA (ASUCLA) was formally created on December 5, 1919. The ASUCLA's revenues were principally garnered from membership dues, retail store merchandising, and admission sales to campus athletic and entertainment activities. Expenditures included intercollegiate athletics, student activities, parking facilities, and general administration.
In 1931, the ASUCLA arranged for a loan from the Security First National Bank of Los Angeles. In 1932 the bank declined a $125,000 loan. As a result, the ASUCLA appealed to the University of California (UC) Regents for financial assistance. The UC Regents agreed to lend the ASUCLA $50,000 for a five-year period with two stipulations: 1) an equal amount had to be loaned by a bank; 2) the University Comptroller would assume complete responsibility for the ASUCLA's financial operations.
UCLA Assistant Comptroller (and later Business Manager) Deming G. Maclise immediately assumed financial responsibility of the ASUCLA and was advised by a Board of Control consisting of 3 students, 3 faculty members, and 1 alumnus. In 1933 the student body approved a compulsory membership fee for the use of Kerckhoff Hall facilities. The fee generated new revenues. In addition, administrative and athletic fees were drastically reduced. In 1940 Maclise declared the ASUCLA financially solvent, after all loans were paid. Maclise maintained complete veto power in the Board of Control and supervised the ASUCLA's finances until his death in 1942.
During the 1948-1949 fiscal year, under the leadership of student president Bill Keane, the Business Manager's veto over Board of Control activities was eliminated, effectively returning financial autonomy back to the ASUCLA.
