produce tones of which no other
instrument is eapable.

Seniors
Chapel
By ANN LEH
(Second of a series of articles discussing the five proposals for
the 1954 class gift.)
The architects drawing plans for the all-faith meditation chapel
seemed to be most concerned about their project when they offered
not one, but two ideas as to hOW the class of 1954 could spend its
class gift fund. •
The first suggestion, furnishings•for the chapel chancel, was dis
cussed yesterday.
Their second proposal calls for
the class to purchase furnishings
for the body of the chapel
Seniors may vote on one of
the five suggestions for Senior
Class Gift starting Monday and
thoughout the next week at the
Student Union desk in Old main.
Wooden pews to fit in with the
design of the chapel are the first
item included under this proposal.
In all probability, the pews would
be marked with a metal plate
bearing the name of the donor,
as is done in most other churches,
providing a lasting momento of
the class of 1954.
Another item that would be pro
vided for if this suggestion were
adopted by the senior class would
be the carpeting for the chapel.
This would not only include the
wMtsit'SbAY. MAY 12, IS*
May Give
Furnishings
carpeting to run the length of the
main aisle but also other accessory
carpeting that will be needed in
the main part of the chapel.
Other furnishings for the Inter
ior of the chapel are also. included
Under this proposal. These would
be such things as wall decorations
and would be marked as the gift
of the class.
The probable cost for these furn
ishings is about equal to the class
gift fund, $lO,OOO. This is also the
estimated cost of the proposal for
furnishings for the chapel chancel.
The remaining three proposals
—a bandstand and public address
system for the new Student Union
Building, paintings for the new
Student Union Building, and a do
nation toward the establishment
of a museum for the University
or for the state—will be discussed
in succeeding articles.
