University, April 1.-(Speclal.) )--One of the most successful benefit entertain the Song Recital last Monday evening in Clark Hall, under the auspices of the Y. w.. c. A.

 Much interest will be attached to the called meeting of tho Board of Trustees, In addition to the election of two mem bers of the Board to the vacancies caused by the death of Hon. Tennent Lomax and Col. John W. Caldwell, 1t is believed that the Trustees will take some definite action looking to the purchase of the Tuscaloosa Female College building for a University annex. It is understood that majority of the Board have already purchase, there being so far as known n not single member opposed to the movement. It may be stated positively, therefore, that the recommendation of the Executive Committee will be accept chased.
 At the University, however. there seems to be a difference of opinion as to the advisability. of the step. The opposition comes chiefly from those who do not be- lieve in co-education in any form. and also rather strange to relate from some of the young ladies themselves. The reasons assigned for the latters' ob1ec- suit from the change, the T. F. C., as it Is usually called, being about a mile from the University. The friends of the movement. however, say that the prox- lNFNtf TxR Al.A r L..tn the dummy line. and the offer of the dummy management to give the young ladies half rates. will offset this objec- ton. Nevertheless, all are agreed in the desirability of the purchase of ahe build- ing by the University as a business ven- cure. The price at which 1t Is offered is about 5000, which includes furnishings. The cost of the buildings alone is esti- mated at $20000.
 The election of Hon. J. H. Johnson, President of the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb at Talladega. as successor to the late Colonel Caldwell, is practically assumed. he being the only applicant for the position. The name of Hon. Phares Coleman and Major J. M. Falkner. both of Montgomery, are mentioned as prob- able selections from the Second Congress sional District.
 The baseball game with Vanderbilt is the chief topic of conversation among the students today. The chances of the two teams are about even and a close game is expected The Vanderbilt boys will not reach Tuscaloosa until tomorrow at noon. It is said that they have the strongest team in the history of the school. as should be expected from the fact that all except two of their '02 team returned to college. Ellington will pitch the first game for Alabama and Moore the second.
