It is thou ht that the. bill will meet the app oval of the Governor. - This amou t does not include an appropriati i for the much needed law bui ing, as this item has been post1 ned because of hard' times. Of much. interest to stu nts and. friends' of the Univei i generally is the item of , 00 apl)rolJriated foi- athletic pur poses.

Much agitation has been carried on in behalf of better athletic aceommiodations here at the 'Uhi 'versity and it is gratifying to see this result. Much of the credit for this item should no doubt be given Mr. Wade and his committee. Another item of interest in the appropriation is $12,500 for the extension of the heating plant. This amount will be used to sup ply LeConte and Thornwell col leges i-with steam heat. Steam heat is much more sanitary and it is hoped that all the buildings of the University will soon be provided with better heating apparatus, Some other appropriations foi the University included in the bill are: for maintainance and salaries, $'7,877.19; scholarships, $4,400; department equipment, $1,394.25; summer school $1,500 ient on -co-eds' home and pro fessors' residences, $1,380; and other items, total inc;uding ath letics and heating plant appro. priations, $103,251.44.

To meet the convenience of! the college girls and for other minor reasons the S.ocial ,tom mittee has found it necessary to postpone the mid-year recep-.: tion that was planned for Mon day night until Friday night. 1 In spite of this delay it is still hoped to make the coming event the happiest of the .eason up to, date and the committee is now hard at work in the preparation. The occasion is to be modeled in. general outline along the lines of the freshman reception that was such a success at the begin ning of the year. The college rgirls are expected in 'force. A eoipet'rit '"S 6erlri Cornmit tee" is to be appointed and the faculty and their wives are to be 4haperone . The, occasion will-. b one of the inosi enj4yable ever if the. students :ooperate and invite their town. 'girls.. The co-eds have' 1onis'ed to in, vite' their friends. Refresh, ments will be served by several of t,he smaller campus girls. ,The committee is already at work on plans for Easter Week and they hope to make aster.' Week even more delightfu than the several very delightf l Eas ter Weeks' thatf have gone be fore. Petition Legislature. The junior and senior law classes have separately petition ed the legislature for the return of.$25 of the $65 tuition, the seniors giving as their excuse that their tuition wa-i catalogued at $40 when they entered. The legislature acted fa'orably 1 for the seniors but the r.everse for the juniors. However, a sec-, ond petition by the juniors will put the matter up to a newvote, and it is jsossible that they may also be refuinded, that is if the house 1asses favorably; the sen ate has passed favorably.

Coach Smith Wants 'More Men Out-Guy Gunter Has Se\:otd' Sfquad. About thirty men answered Coach Smith's call Monday for baseball candidates, when Iactive practice was begun. Only light practice ias been indulged in so far, consisting of hitting, infield and outfield work. It is Coach Smith's purpose to divide the men into two squads, one under his supervision and one under the control of Guy Gunter, graduate manager of athletics, who was himkelf a' playe 'of no mean a bility. Among the old men who are out again are Stoney, Plaxico and Richards. Langston has a badly spi'ained ankle and will be unable to get into action at present.- Hor toi, 4bhW 6as :d therhbet'Of the 1913 team,' is out and showing old time form. The failure of Rudisill'and "Babe" Adams to return to the University has left a large gap to fill. These two men had beer "counted on; hnd their loss will prove a gYeat 'blow to the team. Froth the above"it Will be seen 'that Coach Smith has to develop practically an entire new infield and a Yuv pitching staff. 'At pres 4nt there are only" two men who have had ATy'previous experience i the box, Flowerk and' Smith, {oth of 'whori pitched at Presby terian College at Clinton.' The burden of 'the box will fall upon these men. There are, however, several other men who are trying out for the pitching staff. "Fie" Fullenweider, old Columbia star, and now a member of the Bufla lo International league pitching st.af(Y, *ill assist in 'developing new pitchers. Fullenweider win ters in Columbia, and for the past two'ears has practiced on the U iersity'field before report ing to his elu'at their training quarters. He will be valuable as sist'arned to Coach Siith. As yet no definite line can be obtained on the inner works of the te:m. The work so far has byeii only yrdliminary. The loss of Shuler, the two Riudisills and Edenu will be felt very much. But with the we.alth of material on hnen '('oilh Sn ith hores to
