Donation Aids
Post War Fund
Susan Campbell women showed
their patriotic spirit recently
when they gave two $25 war
bonds to the school to be used
for the student union building
that is to be built after the war.
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.
