A telephone message from the

twenty-five hundred days work
has been pledged by the young men
students of OAC on a new armory
or drill shed, in case the board of
regents decides that sucn q build
ing shall be erected. So far it is all
"talk," but 80 is we'll known the ar
mory now in use has long been too
small to meet the requirements, the
college having experienced such re-
markaole growth since the sSruc-
ture was planned and erected.
From the rumors that ara floating
in the air it is learned that the new
armsrv will haYe 10000 square feet
of floor space, With regimeetal and
battalion rooms, company store
rooms and various other rooms that
are needed in such building. While
it il, as first stated, only q talked
of building, there is hope that it
may become . reality aud that the
young men students may have the
pleasure of working out their
pledges of time and energy.
