eds at Berkeley are to have a hand in the
work of beautifying the university cam
pus. They do not intend that future
freshmen shall give to the boys all the
praise and glory for making garden spot
Of the university reservation. Though the
young women students decided some time
ago that it would be unbecoming for them
to serve up coffee and sandwiches to the
Student labor brigade; that it was inn
practicable for them to build a stone side
walk from North Hall TO the library build
ing, and that a triumphal arch at the new
Center-street entrance would be most too
much of an undertaking, yet they were
determined to have their names carved
on the escutcheon of university henefactors.
To-day by a unanimous vote OF their body,
it was decided to levy an assessment of 80
cents on each woman student IN the uni
versity, to be applied to the improvement
of the ground around North Hall. Flower
beds will be planted, palms will be set out,
and, if the fund proves sufficient. grass
pats will be laid off. Professor HIlgard of
the agricultural department has promised
to provide the n cessary vines and to assist
in every way possible toward making the
piece of work an artistic one. Before
the plants and vines can be set out, how
work of excavating around North Hall
and to refill the place with soft, pro-
ductive soil. 1t is expected that
the student laborers, who will resume their
work tomorrow, will place the ground in
readiness for the plants, but if they do not
succeed in it the co-eds will probably pay
for the work remaining undone.
AS announced in THE CALL last week the
plan of setting out garden plants in the
vicinity of North Hall was that of Regent
Reinstein, which he proposed to the co-eds
when he found that the other plans for do
ing something toward improving the
campus could not be made to go through.
All college work will be suspended to-
morrow and on Saturday, in order to give
the student laborers an opportunity to
complete their half-fnished task. The
squads for work will be organized on the
same plan as heretofore-under military
command. Work will be continued all day
and until Saturday at noon.
Word From Stanford.

stated in the letter that 1t will not be
possible for the cardinal wearers to play
the game before the first week in April,
