Other campus organizations have indicated that financial support would be forthcoming. A petition has been circulated by the club to sample student opinion on the matter and a large number of students are reported to have approved the club. Though 45 members now belong, the. club expects to expand and purchase more horses. Riding instructors who have volunteered their services are Cyrus E. French, assistant in ani mal nutrition; and John P. Wil kins and Howard S. Coleman, graduate students.
