5 A Request

s We have only one request. We believe that it is high time that
mod insure the permanency of the floors in the dormitory rooms
f.Crull and Sihler Halls. We respectfully request that we be
owed $6,000, the estimated cost of laying linoleum covering on
these floors. The floors are becoming quite worn, and a uniform
foor covering would eliminate all the student-owned undesirable
oor coverings.
