THEY WILL ATTEMPT to
find a name suitable for the
campus service organization.
According to Dr. G. W. Rorcn
lot', registrar and director of ad
missions, the Student Foundation
is to be commended for deciding
to change the name that was so
often confused with the Univer
sity Foundation.
George S. Round, director ot
public relaU ns, commented to
day that the Foundation "has
and is serving a valuable place in
University life. It has already
paid great dividends to the school,
the state and the students.
"It is to be hoped that some
student will come up with a suit
able name to replace Student
Foundation and that the student
organization will continue its im
portant work in the future under
the new name," Hound concluded.
