The matter of preparing estimates
on which to base request for an
annual appropriation from the legis-
lature f0r building and maintenance
expenses was placed in the hands of
~
Hatchett and Rowsey. The resigna-

move that met with the enthusi-
astic approval of the socially inclin-
ed members of the student body was
made when the board departde from
its strict policy of the past and yield

the students that they be allowed to
use the gymnasium for dances and
other social functions subject to the
discretion of President Evans and
Miss Kathryn Harris, dean of women.

dress at the close OF the business
meeting In which he thanked the
members of the board for their sup

Where attention was centcrod on one

back OF the gymnasium alive with
white garbed players. The big fall
student tournament is now in prog
ress and much interest is manifested
in the outcome. Verne Alden, the
plucky little champion OF last year
rules a strong fayorite and everything
indicates that he will again annex
the cup as he is hitting the ball in
perfect form and his serve Is harder
