Plan Women's
Building AT ''U''

Plans for the erection Of a women's
building on the campus at the state
university here, which have been dis
cussed by those interested for some
time. appear to be actually under a
according to reports n a have come
from small towns about the state
where young women students who
reside in these towns are putting on
campaigns for the purpose Of raising
Ia building fund.
The need for such a building on the
campus here has been apparent for
ago the subject was brought before
the Women's League, an ~organizav
ton Of women Students, at the in
stitution. by Mrs. Thomas F. Kane,
who. has been active in promoting
definite schemes for raising the hec-
essary fund. Mrs. Kane believes that
such a project should be a matter Of
who attend the university. but to per-
sons all over the state, as the presence
of accommodations such as would be
possible If the plan materiali2ed.
would make n vast difference in the
life of the girls at school. and 1t
should be the interest Of every citi-
zen In the state to make educational

Compares Poorly
Mrs. Kane pointed out that the
provision made for the women stu
dents at the North Dakota University
compares poorly with those at other
ent time, the only space that is re-
served for young women as a rest
room and place for social gatherings
is a very meager portion of the Com
mons building, and it is believed that
this room will not be available when
school opens this fall. All of the
women's organizations on the cam
pus as we'll as alumnae associations
profess a need for rest room accom-
modations, INT they have indicated
a willingness to aid in the work of
erecting such a structure. If a build
ing of this nature Is constructed, a
part of 1t will be given ove to the
Home Economics depauoment which
is now crowded into quarters entire
ly inadequate for the activities that
are carried on there, it has been
pointed out.
Work Under Way K
to representative young women in
each of the small towns Of the state
where groups Of students reside. re-
questing hat an effort be made in
the direction Of raising a fund for
the women's building, and as "a re-
suit. these girls have responded by
giving programs. socials, and other
considerable OF progress during the
vacation period.
A State Building
such a building as the one proposed,
II erected. would be a state building
and not merely a university structure,
and should thus beEa matter of in
terest to all club women Of the state
When the university opens this
fall, it Is thought probable that the
plan will be put before the students
more generally. and that more &C.
tive efforts will be made toward rails
ing the fund required.
