afternoon, MacLain johnson of Hen.

was intended at first to choose all of
the class officers today, but it was fin
some day next week to elect the 9TH
ers.
The freshman class this year is the
largest in the history Of the university
and the new men expect to be able to
give the sophomores a merry chase
during the e few months. Last fall
the freshman class numbered about
175 while this year there are more
than 200 first year men.
Each year it is the custom for the
sophomores and freshmen to meet on
premacy. Instead Of the annual class
fight the upper classmen have charge
of a cane rush between the ''freshies"
and "sophs' and this is one of the
most exciting events of the school
year. The plan was started two years
ago and worked to perfection the two
times that it has been tried. Both of
the PUSHES were won by the sopho-
mores and there is a great stir at the
~" this fall owing to the act that
the freshmen are confident Of victory
this time.
The big event will probably not he
staged for another week, but when 1t
is there will be lots of excitement
around the campus. Besides the rush
there are generally two or three wrest-
ling matches scheduled for the same
afternoon and lovers Of this pastime
will get their fill by being present
when the big affair takes place.
Each class has an equal chance In
the cane rush from the standpoint of

pany will this fall expend between
$4,000 and $4,000 in Improvements
