that they are powerless to help the

by Lack of Funds.

George Washington University
soon will have large recreation
building if plans proposed by univer-

of the board OF trusteees.
The need of such a building will be
explained to the board at its next

would contain a large gymnasium. an
assembly hall, rest rooms for men
and women. and quarters for various
student organizations. DR.. Howard
Lincoln Hodgkins dean OF the De-
partment of Arts and Science; Bryan
Morse, director of student activities,
and other officials are enthusiastical-
ly pushing the project.
University officials are said to be a
unit in favor of the erection of the
buildings, the only question being the
ability Of the institution to finance
the project at this time. 1t Is imper-
alive that a new recitation hall for
the Arts and Science Department be
erected this fall, and the recreation
building will have to be given sec
ond consideration.
