University Pacing
In Securing
Dean Bradshaw Finds Most Students Are Slow in Paying Back
Money Borrowed to Defray Essential Expenses.
o
With the view in mind of ex
posing to the student body the
present deflated status of the
students' loan fund and of ex
hausting every possibility of
remedying the situation, Dean
F. F. Bradshaw has appealed to
the Daily Tar Heel to aid him
in a plan.
The purpose of the plan is to
emphasize the distressed condi
tion of the fund and. to urge the
students making use of them to
effect a 'repayment as soon as
possible, and to appeal to influ
ential students to exert all their
power toward securing dona
tions to this cause.
The expenditures incurred
throughout the present year
have amounted upwards to
$60,000 whereas the available
funds received from payment on
the total $190,000 outstanding
amount are only $30,000. This
$30,000 deficit is the direct re
sult of three current trends : the
large increase of self-help stu
dents in the University ; the
depressed condition of business
at large, inhibiting prompt pay
ments ; and the widespread epi
demic of bank failures, necessi
tating the borrowing of funds
by students who had previously
laid away enough money to pro
vide them with an ample edu
cation. :
Dean Bradshaw is determined
to continue his policy of never
turning away a student because
of insufficient loan funds; this
determined attitude has ren
dered the University much ben
efit in the past, when similar
financial. .clouds have darkened
the light of education. How
ever, unless a remedy for the
present situation is found in one
of the aforementioned methods,
extensive borrowing will have to
be resorted to. This system
would not only prove a burden
to the department, but would
not render available to borrow
ers the largest sum possible, in
terest on the borrowed funds
having to be paid.
Illinois Student Union Provides
"A Center For University Life"
Activity Center Houses Offices of Campus Publications, and
Contains Ballroom for Class Smokers, Conventions,
And Weekly Dances.

(The following article is the
fifth of a series in the Prince
tonian describing the purposes,
financing and success of univer
sity centers, or their equivalents,
at various universities through
out the country. It is reprinted
through the courtesy of the
Daily Nebraskan.)
An average of more than 4000
students enters the Illionis Stu
dent Union daily, according to
E. E. Stafford,' the manager.
He has also estimated that some
6500 different students attend
various functions at the Union
each month.
The real purpose xof the
Union, according to Mr. Staf
ford is to provide "a center for
university life, a place where
students can meet and mingle in
comradeship, where factional
and sectional lines are not
recognized or drawn."
"The Heart of Illionis," as
the Union is called, is a beehive
of student activities. The base
ment floor of the building houses
the offices and plant of the
Illini Publishing Co., which
prints the student daily paper
Vital Problem
I uture Loan h unds
The importance of the loan
fund in the work of the Uni
versity cannot be accurately
computed. Some estimate of
the effect that it has had in the
past may be gleaned from the
fact that 7,000 out of the 14,000
living alumni have made use of
these funds. Throughout the
United States educational in
stitutions are coming to recog
nize more and more the exten
sive benefits contributed by such
departments. Only recently, the
alumni of the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology have
pledged themselves to support a
$4,000,000Lloan fund. Other de
partments here in the 'Univer
sity have recognized the impor
tance of its functions and have
contributed heavily to the cause,
as is demonstrated by the recent
donation of $20,000 , by the
Alumni Loyalty Fund.
The first contribution toward
a student loan fund was made by
a Chapel Hill Episcopal minister,
Reverend Charles F. Deems, in
honor of his son who was killed
in the Civil War. This early
fund consisted of only $300. It
was later increased by the ori
ginal donor and Mr. Cornelius
Vanderbilt to $10,700. . Since
that time, the fund has in
creased to eight times its ori
ginal amount through lending it
at a slight interest to students,
now being estimated at over
$82,000. In addition, there are
many other such , donations,
which swell the total fund up to
approximately $190,000.
At present, Dean Bradshaw
contemplates the necessity of
raising approximately $200,000
to meet the increasing demands
for financial aid among under
graduate students. In order
that this money provide the
maximum benefit to the students
and the minimum burden to the
department, it is essential that
the major portion of this amount
be raised through private dona
tions and prornpt repayments of
the borrowers.

There are two sections to the

former is given over to a men's
lounge room, ladies' lounge,
reading room and an auditorium
seating 300 persons. A military
store, tailor shop, soda fountain
and candy counter, checkroom
and information desk are also
maintained on the first floor.
Union officials have , offices
there, and also a public steno
graphic bureau, ticket offices for
student functions and a dormi
tory accommodating 100 men.
The Union Arcade building
contains a large ball room in
which the Illionis Union operates
weekly dances, and a banquet
