only one thing that is not completely
checked off, and on which the MEM
bers are concentrating their atten-
tion-disposing of the remaining
tickets. The inaugural ball commit
tee headquarters in the Mayhower

night to accommodate purchasers, and
If there are any unsold tickets on
hand by tomorrow the office will re-
main open until all are disposed of.
