citizens OF this state, finally passed

being declared unconstitutional.

by the college was the same as that
in years past. Where may I ask, do
you get your information In regard
to that $4,000 expenditure? The
students at M. A. c. would like mighty
well to see IL.
In the second place, the college has
a real need for an auditorium. The
