their schedules, but as they are still COM

there will be 100 when the examination
finally closes Saturday noon.
President Winston says the men of the
new Freshman class are of very good
type, an unusually large number being
men of nineteen and twenty, of large
stature and we'll developed. physically

of lack of preparation, and some on ac-
count of lack of room.

shops are running on full time, the batal-
lion officers have been appointed, arms
have been issued and drills commenced

pieces. Mr.. Mobeson, of Raleigh. who is

the place of Mr.. White, and the band
promises to be the best we have had for
years.
