The money for the two bonds was saved last spring term from house funds. This money in the past has been used for house ac tivities such as desserts and fire sides. The house council of the dormi tory thought of the bond-buying plan last year and it was soon approved by the whole organiza tion, DeLoraine Markwardt, Su san Campbell president, said. The bonds were ordered at the end of last spring term but they were not taken from the bank to be given to the University un til recently. The bonds will be held by the University until they have ma tured'. Their cash value will then be directly added to the student union fund.
