TUESDAY
Many improvements Have
Been Made During Sum-
mer Vacation

One Of the very valuable improve
ments made at the university this
summer and n which will result in
a material saving In the operating ex-
pense Of the university power plant
ID the pipe line that has been laid
from the power house to English
coulee. This pipe line was put down
60 az to make possible the utilization
OF the water Of the coulee for auxili-
ary purposes at the plant and so as
to have a resource available should
anything happen to the connections
between the city plant and the UNI
versity. BY the use of q condenser
which 10 being put in at the same
m The efficiency Of the engines us
cd IN the plant will be greatly in
creased and this means that the same
saze OF plant will be able to carry a
much heavier load.
With the changes that have also
been made in the draft system and
the increased power and capacity
which will thus be given to the boil
ers, there is ample assurance that
there will be no cold corners in the
university buildings this winter when
the winter winds begin to blow,
Many New Walks.
One OF n busiest men around the
university this past summer has been
superintendent Thompson of building
and grounds and the many things
that have been accomplished are elo-
quent testimony to his industry and
10 the good work done by the force
OF men who have been working under
his direction. An item of the i'm.
provements that will attract atten-
ton from the older students when
tney come In as they will today and
tomorrow and during the next several
days Is the large amount of new
walk that has been laid down at DIFF
ferent places on the campus. Over
1000 feet Of cement walk has been
added and gravel walks that will
run up to a total of several blocks.
Che approach of the new commons
building from the several directions
nas been we'll covered and d. broad
walk leads straight out to the road
and the street a tracks. The lob
py OF the commons building is to be
USED as q waiting room for street car
passengers and it will be possible to
get to and from the cars dry shod.
New Commons Popular.
The nrst meals were served in the
new commons. Thursday. The last
finishing touches such, as the wash
ing of the windows, the setting up
and placing of the furniture, and the
settling Of the large amount of eouip-

In readiness. Miss Treen, the man
!ager OF the boarding department will
have a larger family than ever be-
fore to preside over this year but
with the splendid facilities that are
at her disposal she will take care
OF them all very easily. The new
building ts coming in for q great deal
OF favorable comment on the part of
the old students who have come in

rooming places in the city. The Grand
