ADDED TO ROLL. ONLY IIALf OE THE WORKERS REPORT Total for "Red Letter Day" Enroll ment May Exceed the Present Estimate Wisconsin Se cured 500 In One Day. "Red Letter Day" was brought to a closo.last ovenlng with close to 100 now names on tho roll of tho univer sity Y. M. C. A. This is tfio result of tho ono days canvass hold yostor day by the association to secure now members. Tho total roported last evening will In all probability bo Increased, ns all of tho reports were not In up to a luto hour last night. The campaign which was started by a Bupper In tho base ment of tho Temple Tuesday evening was carried on vigorously all day yes terday. Men wore approached In every part of tho campus in tho attempt to gain as largo an enrollment as pos sible boforo night. Only Half Reported. Up until lato last night only about half of tho mon who wero out working on tho canvaBB had roported, which loaves a possibility that tho nupiber mny be Incroased much boyond tho present estimate. E. H. Culver was tho mos,t successful canvasser and ad ded twenty-two now members to tho association. Although tho work was hindered Bomowhat by tho weathor and tho proximity to the end of tho semester the result of the canvass was entirely satisfactory to thoso in charge of tho campaign. Tho dlaagreoablo weathor mado it difficult to reach tho number of men which could have been reached had the conditions been more pleasant. Tho fact that the students aro deep In preparation for the coming exami nations made tho mattor of canvass ing, both from tho point of view of tho I workers and tho canvasseo, more dif ficult. Tho one-day canvass plan whlcHi was that usod in the present instance has been used at some of tho Other largo universities with marked suc cess, llils was especially true at Wisconsin, this year when tho Y. M. C. A. ofthat university secured 500 new members In one day's canvass. wEMsFa F&mMZS Convocation Today ERWIN A. FROYD A LIEUTENANT. Made Officer of Company L of Wyom ing National Guard. Brwln A.
