Need More Funds

Winthrop Trustees Undecided
About Building

Columbia, July 2.-High cost o.
building material and labor has
brought about condition at Win
throp College which may exclude
from attendance on the institution
some $50 pupils next year.
At the 1917 session Of the leglsla~
ture an appropriation Of 100000 was
made to provide new dormitory
building which would accommodate
about 900 pupils Work was started
in 1917, but on account of the out
break OF the war and the mastering Of
the nations resources, it was hated
and was found that by reason of ths
increased cost of material and labor
the money available was not sufficient
to construct building such as ha6
been planned originally. The trustees
estimate that with the funds on hano
they will be able 10 complete small
er building which Will accommodate
about 40 students and that by bor-
rowing some 100000 they can carr!
out the original plans for the larger
structure Every year about 800 stu
dents are turned away from Winthrop
by reason Of the lack OF accommoda'
tons so that the need of the large:
building is evident.
Recently Governor Cooper went te
Rock Hill and held a conference with
the trustees in regard to the building
They asked him if he would authorize
them to borrow the money necessary
10 complete the larger building with
the understanding that he wouS' use
his influence TO have the legislatur:
make good the deficit at the next SeS-
SIGN. The governor said that he coule
rot take such a course under the law
It has not yet been fully decided
whether TO complete the smaller build
ing with the money in hand or to
make efforts to secure outside funds
to erect the larger cormitory.
The trustees have decided to charge
the students SIC per month for board
beginning with the next session, in
stead cf SIS as heretofore, owing tf
the advanced cost Of groceries, exc. O.
this point President Johnson says II
his annual report: IT Will b.
impossible for us to give our students
the fare they should have for 81;
Der month, where tha: amount must
cover also, in addition to board, fur
nished room. heat, light, service and
