      "Getting
      a
      donation
      from
      the
     
     
      students
      was
      really
      important,
     
     
      because
      that

      If

      now
      demanding
     
     
      their

      then
      how
     
     
      will
      this
      affect
      the
      attitude
      of
     
     
      potential
      donators?
     
    

    
     
      Many
      students
      are
     
     
      claiming
      that
      they
      are

      the

      However,
      the
      Student
     
     
      Union
      did
      publicize
      their
      plan
     
     
      to
      collect
      money.
      They
      pro-

      They

      about

      unfortunately,
      nobody

      The

      On
      March

      1996
      the
     
     
      Student

      voted

      $250,000

      the
