FLOOD FROM THE SCHOOLS
CHAPEL HILL, March. 112.—
The University is getting ready to
v provide more room for the new
flood of high school students.
Two dormitories, perhaps three,
will be built out of the money pro
vided by the legislature. The dormi
tories put up a year ago have just
barely taken care of the increase in
attendance sinceithen.
The member of graduates in N.
C. high schools next June is estimat
ed at between 5,000 and 6,000. A
greater and greater per cent, of
them are going to eolfege, and the
University of course has to take
care of the larger share. It is a diff
icult task to And enough rooms.
Besides the dormitories, the need
ed buildings talked of most are
those for'g'eology and chemistry and
the women’s building. All cannot be
built, because there is not enough
money to put up all of them. The,
trustees*’ committee will meet here
at the end of this week, (March 16
and 17) to decide on the building
program. >

boys under 18 years of age were

provided for 400 additional men ac

This brought the total applicants

average cost per applicant in this
length of time was $9.69,
A signficant part of the report Is
