votes, as did the
proposal to use
the funds for the co-op and the
memorial gate.
Throughout the week seniors
voted at the Student Union desk
when ordering caps and gowns.
About 30 percent of the post
card ballots had been returned
yesterday.
The new allocation would boost
to $16,500 the sum now set aside
for establishment of a student
press, leaving $8,500 to be raised
for the $25,000 needed for the
press. Last year's graduating class
contributed $6,500 and The Daily
Collegian, Inc., has $4,000 in a
sinking fund for that purpose.
The possibility remained that the
additional funds could be raised
by floating private loans.
The senior gift fund is com
posed of money left over from the
50-cent fees all student pay each
semester for general breakage of
College property.
