it will take place on Saturday.
The change of date was determined
upon this afternoon at meeting OF the
Associated Students. A dispatch came
this morning from the Governor, stating

by military escort, they will be greeted
by the students without formal display.

be entertained at luncheon by the various
fraternities. At l O'Clock the military ex-
