ATTENDANCE DECREASING Fewer Negroes in University Now Than Last Year. At present there are forty negro students in the University as compared with fifty-four last year. A noticeable thing is the fact that there are more girls than boys, and this is the first time in the history of the University that such has been the case. There are twenty-one girls and nineteen boys. For the first time, also, the girls have organized a co-operative club. It is conducted at 170 Vermont street, and it has proved a success. The cost to each girl is not over $12 per month. That amount includes board and lodging. Part of the work is done by the girls themselves. Of the boys, only one is not regularly employed. As to religious preferences, there are four Episopalians, fifteen Baptists, fourteen Methodists, six of no preference, and one Presbyterian. Fifteen are from Missouri, twenty two from Kansas, and one from Mississippi. Bertha Kilworth, '09, and Samuel Ainsworth, '09, will be married, Wednesday evening, November 16, at the Episcopal church in this city. RED DOMINO PARTS. Have Been Announced—Rehear sals start Soon.

Participation by a student in more than one dramatic or operative organization during school year was the question discussed by the Men's Student Council at its meeting Tuesday evening. Two plans have been presented, one to limit the activity to one term and the other to one year. The matter was deferred to the next meeting of the council when some definite action will be taken. In response to an inquiry from the Y. M. C. A. in regard to the annual football banquet, the Council expressed itself as highly in favor of a continuation of the custom. The Council decided that the freshmen could stop wearing the caps after the return from the Thanksgiving holidays. Suspend Work. Work on the new administration building has been temporarily suspended, pending the arrival of the terra cotta which is to be the exterior finishing material. The concrete basement walls are being coated with a preparation of asphalt, which will exclude the moisture. The limestone which will be used in the steps and base is the finest of its kind used for building purposes, ranking next to marble in beauty and durability.
