rt: Fourth Year—No. 13 DELAND, FLA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1938 Z-103 Price 5c A-**" ROWE PROPOSE PLAN FOR POOL Finances Can Be Worked Out By Students And Construction Started Wilton Rowe, president of the Student Body Association stated yesterday that resident William S. Allen has requested that estimates of the cogt of erecting a swimming „g8iuW5e' submitted to the Student Body Association. Rowe has worked out a plan which will be presented to the students after the holidays, and which, . if adopted, will bring the potl out from "just around the corner." On a. vote of the Student Body, an additional fee of $2.00 will be added to the cost of the student activity tickets. This money will be placed directly in the Swimming Pool Fund. Thus without great financial: burden the students will be able 'to finance their own pool. This plan has been used, and with notable success, at the University of Florida. If the plan is put into effect at the beginning of the second semester, the contract for the,work can be placed immediately, and the construction begun in the spring. The1 contractor ^who has been warded the job will be paid the money then in the poo! fund, and the. amount turned into it at the beginning of each semester. As .soon as the contractor has been completely re-imbursed for his. work the additional fee will be dropped from the ticket. And perhaps .'we shall be swimming before June.
