YAVAPAI is WELL RE-
PRESENTED AT UNIVERSITY
Special Correspondence.

is strong in students in the State
University, being represented by
town and farm to the number Of
over a score. c. A. Jordan, son of
w. A Jordan, of Jerome, is home
from this work in the third year
preparatory department. Young
Jordan is a loyal Arizonian. He
has not decided just what course in
the regular University work he will
take, but whatever it is, it will de-
eide for him the great question in
the life of every boy and girl, that
of what they want to follow as life
occupation. At present he says he
feels like a train that has come to
the city limits, and is stopped by
the side tracks, and the multiplicity
of freight trains on the tracks, so
that the train has to wait for track
clearage before making move for
the station-there is but one thing
to do, wait until the track is clear
ed. The shortest track or line is
the direct one between two points,
and a boys life is like a railroad
track, if he keeps on the main line
he is apt to arrive, as the passenger
does each day, regardless of the
side tracks, for everything gets out
of the way of the engine on the
main line. No sidetracking for Jor-
dan-but which is his main line is
what he is waiting to have clear
ed.
B. L. Bell, son of l. B. Bell, of
Camp Verde, has finished his first
years work in the agricultural de-
partment of the State University.
He has been and is much interested
in the farming development of this
State, and feels that agriculture and
its accompanying lines of work will
give him the best profits, for work
expended, and the most real pleas
ure in the doing. He will spend his
summer OH farm near Camp Yer
de, returning to the University in
the Fall.
E. c. Barnes, of Humboldt, is
one of the II graduates in this
years class from the University
Young Barnes has devoted five
years to preparing himself for actual
life work, by the study of economics
as being the best line of work to
mix well with any other line of
work, whether newspaper, politics,
or general business life. Barnes was
on the staff of the student paper,
"The University Life" and original
ed the weekly edition. In athletics
he liked track work best, though a
good all around fellow. He may
spend the summer in Humboldt,
though he thinks he will work in
Tucson. Barnes has averaged we'll
in all lines and is we'll liked by his
fellow students and should make
good in whatever he decides to do.
R. L, Merritt, son of W. H. Mer-
rift of Prescott, of class of 1914,
has completed his third year OF work
in the University with credit to
himself. He is taking civil engi-
neering in which he stands well.
Merritt is fond of football also base
ball, both of which afford him all
the recreation he has time for. He
will return to school in the fall
During the summer vacation many
will be made in and
about the University buildings. Re
decorating, painting, re-modeling and
heating, all toward making for more
comfort for the students. South
Hall, the boys dormitory, is to have
a new, big, sleeping porch which
will add more to the comfort of the
boys than any one thing that can be
done, as sleeping in the open tends
to WOO slumber, with life-giving
while the absence of the
bed from their rooms leave them
most comfortable study and dress
ing rooms Arizona University stand
in the front ranks in making for
health, comfort and utility, for her
students There are a number of
in attendance from the
east, attracted here by the fine eli
mate, later staying to graduate, as
in the case of F. w. Foster, who
was in his Junior year in Princeton,
when his health gave out, and his
physician ordered him west. Ac-
by his mother he came
to Tucson, and inside of a month
ielt well enough to resume studies in
The University, because the presi-
lent of Princeton had said to him,
