Do you think Tom and Andy argued about arts funding? If not, any initial thoughts what it could have been about?

I would say that it is a good possibility because Andy was into acting in the theater and Tom wanted to cut the funding.

I don't think it was about arts funding. I think it had to do with whatever Tom was hiding and Andy knew something about it that he didn't like.

I don't think it had anything to do with funding.

The only thing I can see these two coming to blows over is a woman.

Hard to say. >2 EadieB: makes a valid point...but so do >3 gaylebutz:, >4 Olivermagnus: &>5 sushicat:. Guess we;ll never know for sure.

>3 gaylebutz: >4 Olivermagnus: >6 Carol420: When Sandy interviewed Sally Martin, Andy's English and Theatre Studies Teacher, she said Andy and Tom's argument could have been about the fact that Tom was a councillor leading the campaign to cut arts funding by seventy percent. (Towards the end of Chapter 36)

I didn't buy that the argument was about funding cuts. I think it was more likely about Alison (why else would Andy have acted so cagily about her photograph when the police asked him to show it around?).
