The public building program upon
which this Nation embarked was non

Here in Washington during his four
years service to the Nation Maj. Heath
has become an exceedingly popular
figure in official and social circles. He
was frequent visitor at the White
House, and a member of Hoover's ia

Associates Of Maj. Heath say that

with a grim and dour face came out
smiling. 1t is said Of him that he
knows how to deny requests in q manner

Those who failed to get what they

he not only endeavored to grant re-

interests Of the Government and the
people Of the United States, the tax

Heath, his lieutenant" as Assistant

fallen the tremendous burden OF ad-

The manner In which this program
was executed during the last four years

Tribute Of Associates.
What type of man is this who has
served the Capital 50 well and Is now
departing, due to the exigencies OF
politics, to make way for successor,
to whom Washington also looks 1or
great things?
Perhaps there has been no more SIN
cere answer to this question than IN q
handsome, leather hound volume Whicn
recently was presented to the retiring
Assistant Secretary by his associates IN
the Office Of supervising architect. In
the front Of this testimonial volume,
which is full Of interesting sketches;
pictures Of outstanding buildings ana
humorous touches by way OF cartoons,
there is carefully inscribed In Wnite
ink by an artist Of no mean aplnty
these words:
"The followers and associates Of Maj.
Heath who have during the last four
years served under him bid him fare
well with a grateful appreciation OF nus
energy, his fairness. his decision, ms
devotion to his work and his power o!
accomplishment. The wish 10 expressed
that whatever his future fields OF en-
desyer Le will have In them the same
success he has achieved as Assistant
Secretary Of the Treasury"
The testimonial volume itself further
points out something Of the scope OF
Ferry Heath's work as q builder. Under
his Jurisdiction there were let 2.l!l
separate contracts, including TIA build
ings completed or now under contract,

seriously been discussed so far, but
which always remains as a possible

What would be the military effect of
an embargo on arms and munitions Of
war, either against both China and
Japan or against Japan alone? NUM-

wider meaning as including the products
obviously essential to warfare, such as

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA NEWS

Tucson, Arizona, Sept. o.
According to an estimate made
today by G. Zaner Lesher, regis
trar of the University of Arizona,
at least 1000 students are ex
pected to enroll for the first
semester of the 1888 81 year.
Registration will be held Sep
tember II for freshmen and ne W
students, while all other students
will enroll September 18.
Mr.. Lesher based his estimate
on the number of applications
and Inquiries be had received,
and on the number of old stu
dents who have designated their
intention of returning. Judging
from these sources. Mr.. Lesher
indicated that the enrolment for
the coming semester would be at
least as great, if not greater,
than last year.
Applications for enrolment
include an especially large mum.
ber of transfer students from
junior colleges and other institu
tions. While students from all
parts of the country are making
application. by far the greater
number of applicants are from
within the state, and it is ex
pected that every section of
Arizona will be represented in
the student body.
The old dining hall and coffee
shop at the University of Ari
zona have been abolished in
favor of a modern, up to date
cafeteria, according to Mrs.
Katherine Moore, supervisor of
commons. During the summer,
entirely new equipment has been
installed, including serv c e
counters, steam tables, ice water
dispensers and ratings.
According to the new plan,
students may purchase $50 meal
tickets, which they may spend
as slowly or as rapidly as they
wish. Prices for food. however.
have been planned so that one
ticket month will be sufficient
for the average student. Those
living in Univerity dormitories
will be required to purchase
meal tickets from the business
cffice. All other students or
faculty members have the pri
vilege of buying meal tickets or
paying cash.
Thirty one University of Ari
zona co eds will take advantage
of the cooperative dormitory
plan this year. according to an
announcement issued yesterday
by D 9 an Evelyn Wellington
Jones, dean of women.
According to the plan, the
girls live together in Pima Hall,
one of the campus dormitories.
do all their own cooking. house.
work, buying, book keeping.
etc., and manage to keep their
expenses down to an absolute
minimum. The plan was first
tried last semester, and proved
so successful that many more
applications we're received this
year than could be accommodate
cd. Average expenses for girls
in the cooperative dormitory are
about $l7 month.
Miss Anita Davis, of Bisbee,
| Arizona, is to be president and
housemanager Of the dormitory
for the coming semester. Her
duties will include buying and
supervising. while other tasks
will be assigned from week to
week among the other girls, so
that each gets her turn at every
thing. Miss Olga Butler will
act as head resident.
During the summer a number
of improvements have b o
made on Pima Hall. These have
included reinishing the floor,
new kitchen equipment, and
furniture. The greater part of
this expenditure is to be paid for
by the girls themselves on small
monthly installments.
