Last year we ran a campaign to raise funds for the new Student Union Building. We all know how badly it is needed and how valuable it would be to have a centre for student activities.

We raised £600.

This was quite a good effort though not as high as we hoped. It is now obvious we set our target too high, giving a large number of people a good excuse not to make some contribution. The campaign is now being wound up. Many who wished to give said they were unable to do so till after the Christmas holidays.

All those who have not yet contributed their donation whatever it is, 10/-. £2 or £5 will be welcome. Leave it at the Executive Room in the next two weeks where you will receive a receipt for it.

Our new building will be a centre for all student activities. It will contain a bigger and brighter cafe, common rooms. Salient and Executive rooms. Besides these it will have a lounge which both men and women can use, a hall for plays, concerts, debates, talks and dances, good locker space and committee rooms for clubs. It would mean that you could spend your ten minutes between lectures and other leisure moments in a comfortable place. It would be in effect a student club.

A Reminder

The building will cost £80,000 approx. The Government will give a subsidy of £2 for every £1 up to £20,000. So far students in many years have raised £14,300 so that once we can reach the £20,000 mark we will have £60,000 altogether.

A campaign to the public will open shortly. The more we raised the more we will get their support.

So if you have not already given, give something into the Executive room tonight.
