Offer Correction On New Buildings At State College Daily .Dispatcn Bureau, In Die .Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Sept. 18.—In a very friendly sort of way, C. A. Up church. Jr., news editor for the State College News Bureau, offers a correction to a paragraph of a story recently sent out from this bureau regarding .conditions exist ing in the school of agriculture at State college. The correction pertains to a para graph which read: “Special comment was made on the fact that of 51,600,000 worth of new buildings either constructed or nearly completed for this year’s term, not a single one is primarily for the school of agriculture. There will be a new chemical building a new textile building and several new dormitories, but not a struc ture designed to increase efficiency of the school of agriculture.” Os this Mr. Upchurch said: “In our building program is a dairy project costing about $95,000 consisting of two dairy barns, a dairy house and a manager’s resi dence. The college secured the old prison farm site near the fair grounds to develop its animal hus bandry work. “Services of the new chemistry laboratory will overlap. The de partment of chemistry is under supervision of the school of agri culture. In the new building, which wRI cost ngp-rly $400,000, including equipment, most of the researcu project will be agriculture. Agri cultural chemistry will be taught there.” Mr. Upchurch is no doubt com pletely correct in his statement, and this correspondent regrets that the “special comment”, which was lo the effect stated, was not so ex actly informed as is the news edi tor. The paragraph was only in cujental to the main theme of the • Story sent out by this bureau, to which theme Mr. Upchurch offered no correction. t Maybe the reason the French have made no better progress on the wes tern front, they never can be quite sure they are attacking the Siegried line, the Limes line or the Westwall. /low, Miimskuu.
