Pledges and sub- scriptions totalling $484,000 have al- ready been received and the commit- tee expects to pass the hilf million mark in a few weeks. Plans are now being made for the erection of the building in units so that construction may not be delay- ed. The committee has decided to continue the campaign with the view to increasing the total to $1,000,000 in order that Wisconsin may have as fine a Union building as any in the coun- try. The campaign will probably be resumed in the fall of 1921. Only abouthalf of the students sub- scribed to the campaign which was conducted in 1920, and a large propor- tion of the alumni have not yet con- tributed. The committee therefore believes $500,000 more can be raised.
