Twenty-five hundred days work
has been pledged by the young men
students of OAC on a new armory
or drill shed, in case the board of
regents decides that eucn a build
ing shall be erected. So far it is all
"talk," but as is well known the ar
mory now inuae had long been too
small to meet the requirements, the
college having experienced such re
markable growth ainoe the struc
ture was planned and erected.
From the rumors that are. floating
in the air it is learned that the new
armerv will haye 33000 square feet
of floor space, with regimental and
battalion rooms, company store
roems'and various other rooms that
are needed in such a building. While
it is, aa first stated, only a talked
of building, there is hope that it
may become a reality and that the
young men students may have th
pleasure of working out their
pledges of time and energy.
The sooial given at the armory,

W. C. A. was the most unique and
successful sooial affair given in col
lese circles this year, and much
credit is due those who planned it.
