COLLEGES FACE UNUSUAL
DIFFICULTIES THIS YEAR
Large EnroIIments Anticipated and
No Money Available to
Meet New Needs.

Never have the colleges and uni
versities of Wisconsin been face to
face with problem identical to, what
has arisen this year. With the war
over and rehabilitation of the mill
tary services about complete, the col
leges are preparing for unusually large
increases in enrolment. But never
have the colleges been less equipped
to take care of additional students.
Larger faculties are needed. But the
presidents of the Wisconsin colleges
are vitality concerned with the prob
lem of holding the men and the women
they already have. inadequate sala-
ries are forcing many teachers to
abandon education and to go into
business.
New buildings are needed. New and
up-to-date equipment should be pur-
purchased. Old buildings and old
equipment should be repaired. All
of which takes money And the COZ
leges haven't it.
To help solve these serious prob
lens of the smaller colleges of the
state is one of the purposes of the
Wisconsin Colleges Associated which
has just opened headquarters at the
Hotel Pf1ster in Milwaukee and is
about to start statewide educational
campaign concerning the needs of
these colleges.
The members of the association are
Beloit, Campion, Carroll, Lawrence,
Marquette, Milton, Northland and
Ripon. During the latter part of Octo.
Der it is planned to raise $5,OO0,O0
which will be distributed on a basis
of student hours.
