 Swimming Pool

Tuscaloosa, September S.-(Special )- The formal opening of the university was held in Morgan hall yesterday morning and the campus presented a lively scene with large number of alumni, many old students and full quota of new men. i It was impossible to ascertain the number of students by the enrolment, for as usual. the men are slow In matriculating, and as six fraternfties have homes and will care for their own members there was no way of judging the attendance by room reservation.
 When the regular work begins on Mon day, President Gafford expresses himself as confident of a full enrolment, not withstanding the unsettled conditions which have existed concerning the presi- dency.
 l A very largely attended and enthusiastic meeting was held at the Masonic temple last night for the purpose of organizing 8 charter list and making application for charter of the Eastern Star order. Many years ago an order of the Eastern Star existed here, and several of It's members were present to become charter members of the new organization. The proposed chapter will be known as the Sue Garner lodge, in honor of Mrs. Sue Garner, one of the most beloved and revered women in Tuscaloosa, whose late husband. J. T. Garner, was loyal Ma son.
 The following officers were elected: Worthy matron. Mrs. Sue Garner; asso- ciate matron, Mrs Ada Reed; worthy patron, Luther Ward; secretary and treasurer, pr. R. l. Monette.
