women, but in order to enro.

opened for use, it
fifty young women each term. In view of the immedi
range needs of the Church for teachers and the genera
our campus, We respectfully urge Synod to authorize the immediates
construction of another dormitory for women students and for th ate
. purpose to grant us a sum of $132,000, for which, we believe, tow

day’s prices would allow duplication of the present new building
j. Auditorum-Chapel. The Centennial Synod granted our ed
quest for a new chapel-auditorium and included it in the “Build.
ing for Tomorrow” collection. At the time of the preparation af
this memorial to Synod the necessary funds have not yet been rey
leased from the proceeds of the “Building for Tomorrow” collectiouy
by the Board of Directors. Accordingly we feel it necessary
renew our request, asking also for renewed approval of it for nif
building. Our case can perhaps best be made by repetition of wh a
was reported to Synod. “Our present chapel is too small to acg

maintenance men who are able with the help of student labor to
most of the plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and carpentry repal
on the campus. But we have no adequate shop for this purpose, n
do we have the storage facilities for the necessary materials.
present overcrowded shop cans itutes a fire hazard for the buil

are inadequate. We furthermore have a need for a larger gar

to house the automotive vehicles which we own (panel tru

dump truck, bus, driver-training car) and the larger pieces
machinery (e. 8+» power mowers, garden tractor). We can pu
all of these needs best by building an addition to our power p
which will serve as repair shop, unloading dock, storage re
and garage. We request the sum of $11,480 to cover the cost.
