In view of fmit that the University
'is not iu pofcaetpnou of the (ftvM'Ht ad
dnv* pf v great m^uy alumni who haw
changed addreaiteK since leaving the Uni
versity it i? earnestly requested that the

without waiting for the blanks. Thin
must be done if the record ia t?? be com

The plan has two phases. ' In the
Hr'vt place. the University is very uux
K>us to obtain information as to th<{ war
rifortl of its uiumni and students in
order that each may have" a place in
the uiomorial now being planned. It i^
requested that, iu cases where student*

other reuwu the situation in HUch that
soldiers are likely to bo unable fto fur
nish the University with the informa
tion, tho relatives and friends of sueh (
soldieoa send the information.
Iu the. second plats*, it is planned f<?
establish a filing system which f? to bei
a iH>rmanent reebrd of all alumni and'
Mtudenta of the University. Again It
?>Ih urged that relatives and friends come
to the assistance of the University in'
the effort to obtain accurate and com-,
plete records of students who have at-(
tended the University siuce and iuclud-;
ing the year lpOO. as Well as any in-|
iVtrmaHon pertaining to atudents who
were in the University prior to 1900
but which belongs to tho period since
1010. It wilt be n fine thing to havrc
it so that any one can come to t by Uni

ty's apportionment of Federal money for
building roads amounts to fC8.48H.54t
Kershaw tlounty covers it tkjJkir for

wiU have for -road building tljie sunt ^f

approved by the Secretary of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
With It* apportionment of Federal
funds plrts the funds which It must pro*
vide beiore the Federal monjsy is avail
able. Kershaw County <*nn build about
HM mile* of concrete road or about
39.1 miles of top-aoB or ?and-clay road.
These figures on mileage are Hawed on '
the assumption that grading, culverts,
ot<\. will cost 92(000 per mjle: top-noil
or sand-clay surfacing will com $ 1,(500
per mile ; a?^ Concrete (surfacing will
cost $20,000. per mile. These estimate*,
are based on averages and will not hold
?ood for all cases. Therefore, the figures 1
on mileage stated above are approxi
mations only and are given for purposes
of comparison.
The above named typos of roads are

not meant that Federal Aid will be given
to building only these type? or that only
thcee tbre* types are recommended.
JE&ersbaw Oonnty's . apportionment of
Federal funds for -road building does not
include the funds from this source which
can be had for bridge building. The

its disposal for building bridge** enough
money to fcuHd practically all f^c im
