University Needs More Buildings.

1t is up to the Arkansas Legislature
to make some appropriations for adj
ditional buildings for the University
of Arkansas, in order to keep apace
with the rapidly growing enrolment,
according to President j. c. Futrall.
We will have over 800 pupils en-
rolled at the University before the end
of the year" stated President Futrall
Thursday afternoon, and if the at
tendance increases next year as it has
in the past, We will have over 1000,
students The university has increas-
ed 33 per cent in attendance in the
past two years, and if it goes ahead
that rapidly IN the next two years, it
will have doubled in attendance in
five years. We must have additional
room to care for these pupils or the
university will suffer. This year We
had forty girls who could not get into
the girls dormitory, and many Of
them did not come and join the col
Ony which boards off the campus.
In attendance the Arkansas Uni
versity exceeds that OF Louisiana, Ten
nessee Mississippi the Carolinas,
ranks right along with Oklahoma and
Virginia. and would exceed the at
tendance of Vanderbilt if the profess
sional departments are not counted.
We need buildings TO care for this
great increase and we need addition
al room in various departments which
70 hot
students are almost in each others
way,

a great deal for this, the most rapid
