University Notes


At the request of Captain Yates, the
regular drill hour has been set from
$3.50 to 9:15, as was formerly the case.
This change Is only temporary, and
was made so that the long distance
target practice now being carried on,
can be given early in the morning
when there is no wind to prevent good
shooting. Last year most OF the target
practice took place after $3.50. so that.

made. According to the captains pres
ent plan. he will begin shooting at
$50 and continue until 9:15. The
change made in the hours is purely

ule will be resumed.
