How can they be remedied? What improvements can you suggest for the administration? What should the administration? Are questions asked in the questionnaire?
The students are given about two weeks in which to return the questionnaires.

He says that if the same criticisms are in near of the papers returns then the administration will give such matters serious consideration It is a way for the administration to obtain the honest opinion of the class of students who really need help with theophilics of the medieval students.

plained, "is only a temporary build,
built at a cost of $15,000. It will
be located in the location for it is in too good condition
to be torn down. Its future use has
not been determined. The safecies
to be bounced in the new Union

banks nearby."
"Plans for a new building to be built on the present site of the Commons are being made," Mr. Ball continued. "This building will house one hundred rooms, and the proportion for this building was not obtained this year, and it is very doubtful if it will be made the next. This will delay the completion of this project for about 10 years," he said. The building will be to tall the Thayer collection of valuable paintings and relics.
