U. OF v. NOTES.


Several University of Vermont
girls who cannot afford the high
prices prevalent for board while at
tending college, have hit upon a way
of solving this ever present problem
of the high cost of living in rather
original and unique manner. Groups
of four or five girl students have en-
gagged apartments on college proper
ty where model household is insti-
tuted with no servants required.
These co-eds cook their own meals
and attend to tho' ordinary routine
duties of the home such as cleaning,
sweeping, etc. "Barn-let," one of the
smaller University dormitories, is ty-
pical of this mode of living. Five
goods, all in their teens, are quar-
tered here under the direct super
vision of the acting dean of women.
"Barn-let" is cozy, little home, for
merly barn, hence it's name, but
re-modelled recently by the college
architect for use as a dormitory.
Since the opening of college last
September, these girls have boarded
themselves, having figures which
show that the average cost of their
meals is no higher than So a week
per person. Room rent is the same
as in all other dormitories at the
University, $40 per half year.
'Barn-let" is only one of the several
other similar dormitories where YER
mont co-eds are puzzling old H. c.
l.. with surprisingly satisfactory re-
suits. Food in Burlington is as high
as in other cities but these girls are
enterprising enough to get the better
of high prices.
The fourth short course in dairying
ing for this winter offered by the
Dairy Department of the University
of Vermont and State Agricultural
College is to be given from Novem
Der 21-23 and will take the form of
conference of dairy plant workers
and managers. An exceptionally
strong program has been arranged
primarily for owners, directors, man
ayers and workers in dairy plants,
but anyone interested may attend.
Aside from the regular program and
round table discussions, opportunity
will be offered for conferences and
personal interviews with number of
specialists who will be in attendance.
There are no charges of any kind to
those who attend this course. All
sessions will be held in Morrill, Hall.
Requests for further information
should be made to Professor H B FL
lenberger Burlington, VT.
About so women have now reported
for rife practice at the University of
Vermont, the increased interest in
the sport among the women being
due to the fact that the team which
the women at Vermont
last year did not lose single match
in which they participated. The
women's rifle team at Vermont is be-
ing coached by one of the army
officers stationed at the University as
an instructor in the P. 0. T. c. unit,
and the women who will shoot in the
first match of the schedule will be
picked this week by the coach. The
first match will take place during the |
week just preceding Thanksgiving, |
this. one against the University of |
Maine, while other matches are
scheduled for the month of December.
the Vermont schedule is
not yet complete, Miss Shaw, mana
ger of the team has stated that she
has correspondent with several other
teams. including a few in
the West, and that the schedule fol-
lowing the Christmas recess will keep
The members of the women's team at
Vermont busy on the range every day
If the week until the close of the
season.
