'1ESDAY NIGHT E. G. SEIBELS GIVES U. S. C. BILLIARD TABLE Donner of Melton Observatory Constitute to Student Recrea tion Department PLACED IN FLINN HALL Presented During Summer While Students Were Away On Vacation I,I\im G. ticibels of Cohunbra, alum. ni o this institution, and doner, of the mnagminicent \lelton Observatory, during the suinmer donated to the Utversity a very vull-built and well-epuipped pool table I is reported that during the summer Mr. Seitbes saw this table and wrote to 1)r. Douglas asking him it he cotld use it. As might be expected the otter was gladly accepted, and it was soon imstall ed in t' hnn Hall. Students since that time have 'ecn busily engaged in the pleasant sport ut billiards and a crow<l is usually tound i on the sideline waiting to find a chance for the next game. T ins table is equipped with the mod ern style collective pockets and the whole outlt is made of the very best material. The indurance of the material is utn estimated but it is thoroughly believed that it is recreation equipment that will ottt-last most any other that could have been presented. Students are asked to take the best care of the table, so as to show as much appreciation to Mr. Seibels as possible. Ihey are also asked not to use it too long at each peribd, so that as many students will have tiie chance of playing as possible.
