Heaven Helps Those…

Everybody knows that Victoria College needs a new Students' Association Building. We need a decent-sized cafeteria, comfortable men's and women's common rooms and a general lounge, space for lockers, a properly equipped theatre and dance hall.

It is possible that this can be achieved while many of the students who are now in the college are still here. If the students can raise £20,000, the Government will provide £40,000. So far over £13,000 has been raised, but very little of this has come directly from the efforts of the students. We cannot expect large donations from outsiders if we do not make every effort to raise money ourselves.

The executive will launch a campaign this week for direct donations from students. You can give the money straight out, or earn it before the end of this term. A list of suggestions for earning money will be announced during the campaign.

If 2000 students of this college could each raise £5, we would have more than enough money to begin the building, so before you laugh at the idea that you can raise this money, just think it over.
