'Wanted-Ten pianos. Must hay
them at once" That is not the onl
thing that the Oklahoma College TO
Women must have at once. but that i
one OF the needs that President Ausil
believes can be supplied right away
especially since the college is payinl
81 amonth for the use OF the instru
hsnts, and there is an especially ure
ent call for them There are som,
thirty or more women on the WAITING
list now who wish 10 take piano bu
the number Is so large that sufficient
instruments have not yet been sup
piled.
The state school out on the car line
has been some busy place" this week
Three hundred and forty women, rep
resenting every section OF the state
are now registered and doing work
That is the number after just the first
week. II is an increase of SO per cent
over the number registered at the cor
responding date last year And more
are still coming. Even while the re-
porter was interviewing President
Austin late yesterday afternoon the
three hundred and forty-first student
came in. 1t was Miss Dele Faulkner
OF Hastings.
Hustle and rapid growth character
ize everything out there. Two new
Instructors have been found to be an
absolute necessity They have not
only been elected. but they are already
ON the way to Chickasha to take Up
work. Miss Mary Bell of Tonkawa ia
the new instructor In the literary de-
partment Miss Grace Campbell Of

place that the physical receives atten-

There always have been two rather
lively literary societies out at the
college. the Utopian and the Leaman.
They are 10 elect new officers tonight.
Then there is to be a new one organ
lied. Literary societies can become
too large just the same as anything
else. and the Oklahoma College for
Women is getting altogether too large
for just two clubs. President Austin
says.
Meanwhile everything is going Off
in the best possible manner in the
dormitories. Three are now occupying
several dormtory rooms that were
supposed to hold only two, one of the
parlors has been turned into bed
room for four girls, class rooms and
everything else are crowded, but al
departments OF the college are getting
on famously," according to the heao
of the school.
Especially is Mr.. Austin pleased
with the manner in which citizens OF
the city have responded to the call
for rooms and board for students. The
very hesth ONES of the city have been
