TRUSTEES WILL ASK
FOR GIRL'S BUILDING
At a meeting of the execu
tive committee of the board of
trustees of the University yes
terday it was decided to ask
the general assembly to appro
priate money in three install
ments of $25,000 with which to
build a dormitory on the cam
pus for the young women stu
dents.
The committee will ask that
$25,000 be made available at
once so that the first section
may be ready for occupancy at
the opening of the next session,

Such a building would make
a desirable addition to the Uni

hoped the legislature can be
persuaded to comply with the
request of the trustees.

MANY OUT FOR PLAY;
BASKETBALL PROMISING
Answering the call to arms,
about 15 men appeared Tuesday
for basketball practice. All of
last year's men were out, and
practically every other aspir
ant has had more or less exper
ience in "'shooting goals.'' Coach
Foster has not definitely decided
to take charge of the team, but
he is filling in until arrangements
are made. Bowen), last year's
captain, is manager of the team,
and is arranging a fine schedule.
Most of the games will probably
be played on the home court.
Among last year's stars are:
B3owen, Martin, and Waring.
Weston, Means, Wardlaw, and
Seymour were scrubs last year
and have a fine chance to be in
the limelight before the season
