One Of the most needed additions to
the associations equipment is a libra
ry and reading room. Here Catholic
newspapers and magazines might be
kept on file and opportunity given the
students to keep informed on current
religious events and in touch with the
discussion of modern religious and So
cial questions from the Catholic point
of view. Special works of reference in
history, science and philosophy could
be made to students pursuing courses
along those lines.
A paid secretary to manage the af-
fairs Of the association Will greatly
increase its efficiency as an active re-
ligious force. The advantages of hav-
ing a central office where such a per-
son would be accessible to members or
their friends who desire his official
services may be had when the present
project is carried out.
According to the plan of the build
ing ten or twelve rooms designed to
accommodate from twenty to twenty
four students will be placed at the
disposal of the young men Of the as
ISOLATION at terms corresponding to
those made for similar accommoda-
lions in private homes in the vicinity
OF the university. Besides other adj /
vantages this plan will provide a fund
for the maintenance of the building.
That the numerous benefits to be de-

a center are not problematical is prov
ed by the successful operation of the
Y. M. G. A. building, erected and MAIN
tanned by the Young Mems Christian
association Of the university At sever
al of the larger universities Of the
country the Young Mems Christian as
Soc1aton owns and conducts it's own
building and furnishes it's members
with those special advantages essen
tai to their social and religious we'll
being. The present undertaking of
the University Catholic Association of
Minnesota Is the first of its kind in
the country. The wisdom and expe-
cheney of the movement can hardly be
questioned. The vital need of such
facilities for carrying on the work OF
the organization as q building alone
Will furnish, prompted the Inaugural
ton OF the enterprise, and the hearty
approval and promises OF support re-
ceived from prominent members Of the
clergy and laity throughout the state
have convinced the promoters that it
can be successfully carried out.
The estimated cost Of such q build
Ing as Is proposed Is $4,000. 1t Is the
intention of the association to raise
this amount by subscription. 1t will
ask the assistance OF Catholic alumni
or the university. and of those who de-

ole young people In attendance at the

monty known fact that members of the
same faith always feel a desire for
close affiliation and organization. And
the young people of the Catholic faith
in attendance at the university desire
to inaugurate movement to advance
their general religious interests as
well as to secure greater social advan-
tages for themselves, and hence the
very laudable desire on their part to
be assured of some place where each

Heretofore the association has been

T h clio e's great free trip contest
IS numbered among the big things of
the past.
At 9 o'clock last night the contest
closed. At 10 o'clock the entire staff
of the circulation department was fair
ly swamped beneath litter Of counted
coupons and certificates and at mid
night the winners were known.
In all 750,337 votes had been received
and counted.
The stupendous character Of the
contest may possibly be realized from
the statement that at $3.50 o'clock last
night the circulation department had
listed 10000 votes for the day. The
total number received was 33O121.
This was additional to the close tab
that had been kept on the incoming
coupons and voting certificates ever
since the contest began, but 1t was only
a drop in the bucket to the avalanche
of coupons and votes that came over
the counting room counter last night
just before the closing hour, o'clock,
arrived.
Miss Marguerite Clemens, $4,000
votes" read the label on huge box
handed the clerk on duty at o'clock
last night. Laboriously it was hauled
to the elevator and the next moment
was being whirled to the circulation
department on the seventh floor, where
nimble fingers were soon busy with It's
contents.
Edward Fitzgerald, $4,000 votes"
read the label on the next package to
arrive; Miss Lillian Cults, $4,000
votes" adorned another; Miss Mary
Sweeney, 29,999 votes" indicated the
contents Of a fourth, and so they came
the entire evening.
Each package as it arrived was turn
ed over to the clerks in charge and
FnVaIy j.
tents. Many waited until the last hour
to turn in their coupons and because
OF this fact the clerks were fairly
smothered under the deluge, the finish
or which was only reached long after
the midnight hour.
Naturally the interest displayed by
the participants and their friends was
or the intense kind and in order to
Keep them informed of the progress
Of the count a special clerk had to be
detailed. The counting room corridors
were filed with their numbers and the
telephone added its quota OF eager ones
the entire evening. Most OF them had
participated in the rush to get In cou-
pons before the closing hour arrived
md nothing but the final count would
satisfy them. How the contest has
progressed since 1t opened eleven weeks
ago Is best told in the following, which
gives the names OF the participants
and the votes credited to them at the
close last night:

MISS cLEMONS. THE PRIZE WIN
NER.
Miss Clemens, winner of first prize,
and the candidate who has held sec
ond place in T h Clio contest for
so long, is tall, fair young woman Of
twenty three. She was born in Farm
ington. Mimi, and is at present en-
ployed at Schuneman & Evans. where
she has won the esteem of many who
know of the brave effort to fill the
place of the father who was called
away a short year ago.
Though born in this state, Miss
Clemens lived a number of years in
the East, where, at an early age, she
developed a marked artistic ability.
Force of circumstances, attended by
poor health, compelled her to abandon
her study. a short time ago. She met
this misfortune with a sweet spirit
that has made her many friends.
She is a niece of Samuel Early
Mahan and Capt. t. L. Mahan. of this
city, the first page of whose G.. A. r.
memorial souvenir was designed and
executed by her.
Miss Clemens is entitled to member
ship in the Society of the Daughters
of the Revolution.

Miss Anetta Trump, the winner Of
the sixth prize in The G O b e's great
contest. was born and raised In st.
Paul, having attended the public
schools here. During the past two
years she has worked in the capacity
Of clerk in the Northwestern Tele-
phone exchange. Miss Trump is de-
serving of much credit for the way she
has worked in this contest, and it was
the hearty support Of her friends that
enabled her to win.
History of the Contest.
After eleven weeks of intense,
but entirely friendly, rivalry, TIL e
clio b e's great popular voting con-
test is ended, and in ten happy homes
this morning there is the assurance
that one member of the family will
have an interesting trip.
The six leading contestants may
choose any point within the United
States reached by rail as for their OBJ
Jectlve points, and T he Globe will
pay all their expenses going and COM
ing, besides one weeks hotel accom-
mediation at point Of destination. The
| next four in line get round trip tick
ct to any of the following cities Chi
cage, Kansas City, Omaha or Des
Moines. rG
When T he Globe instituted the
contest giving ten people chance to
earn free trip the idea took like wild
fire. Within the week ballots were
pouring into The Clio b e s counting
room by thousands. New entries were
added daily, and the fact that the ex-
act number of votes for each contest
ant was not published only increased
the enthusiasm. -. Each change of po-
sition renewed the interest on the part
of some of those who had relaxed thei1
zeal and spurned them and their sup
porters to renewed efforts.
With the numerous prizes, h e
G S offer reached a magnitude
which had never been approached by
the promoters of similar contests in
this section of the country, at least.
The people whose friends have so 10y
ally supported them in this contest. as
the vote appended reveals, are not only
popular, but worthily so.
Close From the Beginning.
Edward Fitzgerald held the lead
more than half the time. At times he
was hard pressed, but it SO happened
that he would poll a heavy vote the
very day his nearest competitor
sprinted to get thet lead Fitzgerald
nearly always leading by a small mar
gin. Oscar Dahlby and Myron Hager.
the next two men in line, have see
sawed with the women and with each
other, and it has been nip and tuck
who would be the final leader.
With the fair sex the contest has
been even a little closer still, and
more spirited, if. indeed, there could
be contest more spirited than that
among the men. And the interest has
been longer sustained by the magnifi-
cent contest made by two of the young
women especially, Miss Marguerite
clemens and Miss Lillian Cults, both
OF Schuneman e. Evans. The friendly
rivalry betwee nthese two candidates
and the evenness Of their support is

PLAN UNIVERSITY HOME
FOR CATHOLIC STUDENTS

The University Catholic association,
formed at the University of Minnesota
in 1900, ever in the vanguard of prog
ress and enlightenment, has at last
decided upon material step which will
give posterity cause to bless the day
such an organization was formed.
The society has already under way
plans for the erection, within a short
time, of building near the university
campus, which will be a headquarters
for the association.
This step Is deemed necessary be-
cause Of a very large number Of Cath

fact that she was thirteenth had no
terrors for her. and she immediately
began to climb.
Miss Nellie Cook, the leading school
teacher, has been a regular repre-
sentative at he G o b e's ballot box,
and her position has been well earned.
1t might be said that all other con-
testants than those mentioned have
worked equally hard, and it is re-

Edward Fitzgerald. the popular can
didate Of Dayton's bluff in T e
G e's free trip contest, who held
the lead continuously from April 26
to May 5, and finishes second in the
contest. At times he came very near
losing his place. as other candidates
were pressing hard, but always, just
at the critical moment, some good
supporter would rally with enough
votes to keep him near the lead. Ed
ward Fitzgerald has resided on Day
toms bluff all his life, and has always
made friends. When about six years
old he was struck by a street car on
East Seventh street, and was severely
hurt, resulting later in hip joint dis
ease. from which he never fully re-
covered. He is employed by McDon-
aid, Wood & Co., after school and Sat
urdays. AS soon as school is out it is
his intention to visit his brother in
Galveston, Tex, and spend the re-
mainder Of the summer with him
there.
