These requests for CWA stu

others eligible for help.
Dean T. J. Thompson's office is

more acute. Several faculty com
mittees are working over time to
register the new students and find
work suitable to their schedules.

the university authorities is that

All Scheduled Improvements
Are Practically Complete
Before Deadline.
With the deadline for completion
of CWA work on the campus set
at Thursday, Feb. 15, jobs on the
campus have been practically com
pleted by workmen. Numerous
projects have been undertaken by
the administration in order to give
unemployed men work, and bring
about some improvement neces
sary on the campus.
The largest bit of work was that
in revising the stadium landscape,
so that it now includes three foot
ball practice fields at the south
end instead of only one as it has
heretofore. In grading the three
fields it wasfound necessary to fill
in the chute from which the dash?s
and hurdle races started. The track
has been shortened to a 400 meter
length instead of the old 440 yard
distance. The new length is two
and one-third yards shorter than
the old. Steam pipes have also been
laid under the field to heat the
west stadium stores department.
In the center of the old part of
the campus north of the Adminis
tration building and south of U
hall a new sprinkling system has
been laid out. and new water
mains to carry water to the Ad
ministration building have been
set in. CWA workers are now com
pleting the settling of the dirt m
the ditches . , -
One tennis court in the group of
seven south of Bessey hall has
been removed in order that a bet
ter terrace mny be arranged for
that building, and a complete vievr
of the ecliseum might be available.
On the ag college campus much
CWA work has been done, espe
cially in the removing of a grove
of cottonwoods in the southeast
corner of the campus.
Eesidc-s the jobs performed bv
workmen, a number of functions
in the campus libraries have been
undertaken bv women working for
