500 FRESHMEN EXPECTED.


at the State University is rapidly drawing
to close. Two weeks from next Monday
the wheels of the States highest institu-
ton of learning will again begin to re-
volve. Three weeks from to-day, the 18th
of August, will be registration day, when
graduates and upper class students will be
expected to file their schedules of courses
for the fall term. Already new students
have begun to appear on the campus and
ask for the recorders office. Many fam
lilies from the interior of the State have
arrived within the last few days and are
taking up their residences in the college
town. The professors have begun to re-
turn to Berkeley from their summer out
ings, and the buildings and grounds are
being put into condition for the reception
OF students.
From all appearances it would seem
that the class of freshmen this year will
exceed 500. If the number is swelled to
that mark the faculty will again be con-
fronted with the question "a to where they
all shall be accommodated.
The new Mechanics building has been
put into service as headquarters Tor several
of the departments which were formerly
in the other buildings. Lieu tenant Wlnn,
head of the military department, who is
probably the most visited man in the
faculty, has moved his Office to the
Mechanics building, distance of about
300 yards from North Hall, the head
quarters of the student body.
This change has already aroused consid
cradle displeasure on the part of the stu
dent cadets who are about Berkeley, be-
cause of the distance of the office from the
armory and recitation hall. Some talk
has been made of moving the recorders
office to the mechanics building also.
Librarian Rowell has just received a
| large invoice of English books on science,
! art and literature, which he says will be
valuable addition to the library.
