The purpose of the petition will be to aid in the University's long-pending drive for securing $300,000 from the Public Works Administration for the con struction of additions to the library. Carolina has received only one fourth as much PWA funds as Clem son and only one-third~as much as The Citadel. These three state insti tutions have equal rank and Carolina's quota should be raised accordingly. Clemson has received $800,000, The Citadel, $610,900 while Carolina tails the list with only $225,454. An explanation of the petition is given below: The University has requested a loan and grant of $300,000 from the Public Works Administration of the Federal government. If this is obtained, the University hopes to spend the whole amount on an extensive addition to our library building. This application was originally re quested for the purpose of construct ing additional homes for professors, but it is proposed that it be spent on enlarging our librarv space, because this is the greatest physical need of our University. Why do we need to enlarge the library building?
