work, the employment bureau, Bible
study, religious meetings, all are open
to members and non-members alike.
Since the erection of the present
building, the committee rooms on the
second floor have been placed at the
free disposal Of all student organiza-
lions. That they have been used
freely is evidenced by the fact that in
three months in the fall, fifty-three
different organizations used these
rooms for one or more meetings. Be
sides, through an arrangement with
the board of directors of the Wiscon-
sin Union, the main floor of the build
ing, except on stated occasions and
exclusive of the association offices, is
placed at the disposal of the Wiscon-
sin Union.
The building has met with almost
unprecedented use. The stone step at
the entrance has been worn down in
the center fully three inches by the
constant tread of students going to
and from the building.
Campaign for Funds Necessary.
The keeping of this building lighted,
heated and cared for, and the replac-
ing of furniture, rugs, curtains, etc,
under such tremendous usage, re-
quires no small expenditure of money
When the building was erected, how
ever, it was dedicated with a deficit
Of approximately $4,000. This has
been reduced to 5000, but the inter
est on this mortgage has eaten up
the money which should have been
expended on the building each year irf
order to make the necessary repairs,
decorations, etc, to keep it in first
class condition. AS a result the board
of directors of the association have
organized campaign to raise $4,000,
which amount will pay off the mort
gage, assist in meeting this years
budget and make the necessary re-
pairs and Improvements, which will
put the association out of debt and
in first-class condition to render the
service which 1t ought to render. The
campaign is set for March 1929. Dur
Ing this time campaigns will be held
In Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago,
and In about twenty other Wisconsin
towns. Other large cities outside of
the state, like New York, Los An
geles, Seattle. etc, will also be put
ting forth an effort to secure funds,
Besides, there are hundreds of
towns in Wisconsin from which stu
dents are every year going to the
University and where it has been i'm
possible to set up campaigns, from
which many contributions should be
received.
Mr.. E. F. Riley of Madison is treas
urer of the building fund, and anyone
wishing to contribute toward this
good cause may mail checks either to
