A modernistic dormitory y-office building,
which is to be erected on University donated

ed group departments:
A dormitory for students; museum and
display rooms: spacious practice and re-
hearsal quarters international rooms; ad-
ministrative offices; room honorlng the
Tamburitzans' many graduates: perma-
nent home for the Tamburitza School of
Music; and storage space for the ensembles
bus and vast collection of equipment.
The structure - when finished - will
serve as a public monument to a culture
that will continue to entertain thousands
through the years and decades to come.
. Of course the cost of this ''Tambur-
tia Hall" will be great. Very great.
In fact it is estimated that $500, 100000
will be required to bring the dream to real
ization in the near future
However, we understand that an "angel'
has pledged to donate half that sum if the
Tamburitzans through their legion of
friends and followers can raise the other
. $3.50, 100000 on their own
Which will no doubt inspire many mem
bers of the Croatian Fraternal Union to
donate what they can to the funds now be-

They are invited to do so by addressing
their mail to "Tamburitza Hall Fund" Du-

selves for this trip by re-read-

James Frazer's "The Golden
Bough", etc.

where almost every stone re-
minds one of the glories of the
human spirit, one cannot help

and risen to such heights on
so small a piece Of land as
Greece.
Each day there, whether
in Delphi, Athens, Myce-
