"Well, that is politics against governmental business," he replied. "That would be for his own conscience. But I think on governmental business he should talk to the people."

New Dance Floor Is Made Possible by Fee Payment
Several Programs Planned to Acquaint Students With New Union Building
Building
At the close of the last day for the payment of fees, the total amount of Union fees taken in was a little over $85,000. This amount will probably pay for a dance floor, it was decided at a meeting of the Union committee Friday evening, but it would make heating, and other amenities.
Although the source of the rest of the funds is doubtful, the committee hopes that after the first rush of heavy fees is over many of the students who have not subscribed to the Union fund will pay more. They are enough to finish the floor when fees are paid for the second semester.
The committee passed a motion that the construction of the floor begins as soon as possible. The com-mittee will probably accept bids soon
"The committee does but intend to borrow money to finish the Union," said Fred Ellsworth, chairman. "No work will be done unless we have this money." He also said it will be started with the funds now available, in hope that more money will be forthcoming soon. If the money does not come in, work will be curried as far as possible, then saxon will until more money is accrued.
To Add Tea Room
It is hoped that temporary families for hire can be delivered downstairs until the upstairs is finished. A room jacket off the dance floor will eventually be the tea room. The committee is going about with plans for having interesting people of all ages to take talks in a Union from time to time.
Plants are also being made to have the men's Pan-Hellenic council put on a smoker there soon, in order to get students better acquainted with the Union building and its uses. The committee has an annual meeting of serving the 1929 commencement on the second floor of the building.
