COMMUNICATIONS
To the Kidtor of the Kmrratd: Will
you grant me the privilege of your col
umn* for a brief discussion of li matter
that, it seems to tne, calls urgently for
iiuderstuudiug ami correction
Of all the organization* on the cam
pus, there is none, 1 believe, that labors
mors faithfully than the University band.
Its assistance is required at games, ral
lies. assemblies and University functions
of all sorts; and, since the organisation
of the Hsttaliou the demand made upon
its services ^ias been doubled.
To these varied calls tIn- Hand has
responded willingly and with a reasonable
degree of cheerfulness. The sacrifice
made by the members of the Hand is not
only one of time. To play in the baud
under present conditions means that the
musician must forego u large part of his
military training. lie cannot drill with his
company and play in the band at the
same time. To the man who looks for
ward to serving his country in the army,
tliis means a very real loss and hardship.
Itul the hand is indispenslble to the suc
cess of the Battalion. The players recog
nize that; with a few exceptions have
made the sacrifice. The exceptions re
ferred to, however, include some of the
best, musicians in the University. They
have elected to drill instead of playing
in the band. Under the present regula
tions, as I understand them, that is their
privilege, and no criticism necessarily at
taches to them. It is manifest, however,
that the baud would be a much better
band if these men were playing, and the
players who have responded to the neces
sity of maintaining a band should not be
criticized because the hand is no better
than it has been, hut should, rather, re
ceive added credit for their faithfulness.
That the hand has been made the sub
ject of unjust criticism amounting even
to ridicule is a fact that, deplorable as
it may tic, must lie admitted. It is my
belief that this spirit is the result of
misunderstanding rather titan any nn
fairness. Hut it should lie corrected. The
hand, with its leader, Mr. Perfect, should
receive the full appreciation of the stu
dent body. That is the least that can be
done. Certainly nothing else has been
done for the hand. They receive no emol
ument nor compensation nor recognition
of any kind. They 'arc given no sweat
ers; tin t enjoy no concert trips; they
have been denied even the little, inex
pensive lyre, granted ill previous years
by way of recognition of their services.
The hand could hardly he blamed if
they “struck." Hut they will hardly do
that; not if 1 understand their temper.
They are too loyal, too responsible. It Is
simple justice, however, to give them
the appreciation they so richly deserve.
Tin band should not he expected to plav
at any and all times with or without
notice. And some tangible recognition of
their services should lie made.
1 believe that, in essentials, 1 am right
in my premises, and that the best senti
ment of the student body will accord
with my opinion.

War Brides Entertained
by Mrs. Eric Allen
Secrets Divulged Over Coffee,
but Romantic Tales Are
Denied Outsiders.
Mrs. Eric Allen last evening intro
duced a new form of entertainment
when she asked all of the war brides on
the campus In to have after dinner
coffee with her, at 0:30.
Conversation was rife, as each girl
told of her experience, how she hap.
pened to get married, where it happened
and where their husbands are at the
present time. But only war brides
were there, and they won’t tell, so
no one else is going to hear of those
romantic tales.
Those present were Helen Bracht

Dr. Bovard’s Pet Overcoat
Is Gassed
Profossor Unscathed, but Coat
Is as Porous as
Cheese.
When Professor John Borard. head
of the zoology department, was at Camp
Lewis getting special training iu mili
tary science, he found need for a new
overcoat to bo in keeping with his work,
so he hied himself into a haberdashery
and bought a nifty military coat.
Now ao far, there is nothing unusual,
ns the best of professors have to get
a new raincoat now and then, but this
raincoat was unusual. Not only was
it the very latest out but it fit Dr. Iio
vard like the paper on the wall.
Vrriving at Camp Lewis without mis
hap the zoology expert wore his fav
orite coat upon all occasions. It was
as hard to get him away from the coat
as it is to get au II from Dean Allen,
so when he was going through a gas
attack the coat went with him.
The attack happened to he a real one,
with actual chlorine gas, and as a re.
suit the nifty overcoat is beginning to
look like a cross section of a swiss
cheese.
