In fact, he night have blccOme a little rtui- >ance, running up to older friends with arm loads of rocks screaming for them to help kim classify them. At that time he! was about seven vears jof age.

For you more athlei ed freshmen who have to find any athlete equipm which to paM the long y hours, here is some information that will solve your problem. Mr. Luke Harrison, wjho may readily and truthfully/; be called the freshmen's friend, has report ed that there is ample, athletic material and equipment accessible to all who want to use it. There are footballs, basketballs] punch ing bags, medicine balls, volley balls, weights and ping pong equip ment available at the equipment room of the gym. Equipment Will be available from two iuntil six o’clock on all days excppt Wed nesday. Because of the! Rkte.C Q. on Wednesdays, the equipment will be available until eight-fifteen. Cadets may check put the des red ..quipment, but must return it be fore the equipment room closes. The swimming pool will be kepi -pen for student use as long as the weather permits. ] Trom the weathpr conditions of the past few days, I don’t think it will remain 'pen very long. The Lnal touches are being ap plied to the intramural program. Officials have been given rules on flag fpotbal! and plans are being irfade to have an exhibition game here at the annex.
