Holds to Command Such Fine
Men Is Honor For Any
Officer.
Lieutenant John Clark Burgard, mem
ber of the class of 1916. now Hmrenant
in the 362nd Infantry. 91st division, sti
tionod “Somewhere in France.” has
written of his experiences to University
friends.
"I have had a very pleasant trip
across the states and the Atlantic and
across Europe. It was very interesting
with the ir.cn and I have seen and had
many interesting sights and oxpenonvs
as well as pathetic and proviking ones.
It is all to be expected in this game of
‘Swat the Hun.’ That would be a good
title for a Hodge or Sweetser course.
France Seems Quaint.
“IVe are billeted in a very beautiful
village in a very pretty and interesting
section of France. The peasants’ dress,
customs, houses, etc., are all very quaint.
They are about 200 years behind the
times and. believe me. 1 will be glad to
get away from here, which will be soon,
and look for doings of the 91st for if
they don’t make a name for themselves.
I’ll miss my guess.
“We have sure worked like thunder
since arriving. It makes our work at
Lewis seem like play and now the cur
tain is drawing and the finishing touches
are being put ou our sixteen months of
preparation and I can hardly wait to get
in the game. We have as fine a lot of
men as any officers could wish for and
I personally consider it an honor to fight
with them.
Fred Kiddle Near.
I received a letter the other day from
Fred Kiddle. He is sergeant in the Ord
nance Corps not very far away, but we
can't make connections. Everett May is
in my regiment and we are the best of
friends. I had supper with him last eve
ning.”
Lieutenant Burgard has been bunking
with Ben Dorris, a college friend- of
his, since their arrival in France.

I Girls Imagination
Plus Error Creates
Physics Phenomenon
Have you an imagination? Would i
lead you to mistake some other sub
stance for hypo and then to draw an on
tirely erroneous conclusion as to it:
properties? Or, do you know whai
hypo is?
Y\ bother you do or not. here is the
story: it happened in the physics lab
oratory and the victims were girls. Th<
syllabus said to measure temperature ol
hypo crystals and aho of some plain
I water in a test tube; it said also, next
! to mix the hypo and the water and take
its temperature. There was no instruet
i or around, but surely that white stuff
! *u the beaker was hypo—no, they didn’t
j taste it, it might have killed them.
temperature of water and crystals
was taken and then reading recorded
and then the two substances were mixed
"See the mercury fall," exclaimed one
of the girls. " 1'liat's the conclusion" re
joined tlie other. ‘‘Hypo makes the
temperature; fall."
Hut there entered a doubt; that hypo
looked uncannily like plain table salt,
it did indeed. One girl ventured the
tiniest speck on the tip of her tongue
‘It tastes like table salt."
"Why, it is table salt." was the ver
dict. Then the girls took another look
at the thermometer. The mercury had
not budged.

“daylight saving" law, which was en
acted by congress last spring will be

Time will be normal again.

ever patient professor, and, of course, the
busy college women—all may have an
extra hour s rest Sunday morning.
Eleven o'clock will be 11 o’clock.
And then, on Monday, the students
will not have to get up before, daylight

FRATERNITY LIFE
iiiuEB r
War Department Opposed t<
Ceremonial Functions Till
Peace Comes.
Suspension of the activities of the fra
| ternities among members of the Sti
j dents Army Training Corps in the col
i leges for the period of the presen
j emergency 1ms been ordered by the \va
| department through the committee o
| education and special training. Th
| communication states that “fraternit,
activities” and "the operation of frater
nitics" as used means the social side o
fraternity life—the living of the mem
hers together in fraternity houses am
the functions and meetings of a socia
j or ceremonial nature,
i The War department, realizing, how
i ever, that fraternity organizations ntus
j be kept intact to insure the resumptioi
of their activities after the war inter
[loses no objections to the holding o
such meetings as are of a purely busi
ness nature.
The department lias made this ruliti;
as a protection to the fraternities them
! solves on account of the rapidly cluing
| ing personnel of tile student body whiel
j is the result of the present plan o
| keeping the men here three, six and nin
months, and if men were taken in ti
I fill the gaps of the constantly ehangin
membership the standard for member
ship would necessasrily have to be lower
od.
Fraternity life, the communicatioi
states, is incompatible with military dis
cipline in the very nature of things, am
for that reason the war departmen
; feels that it is for the best interests o
both, to suspend further operations o
i fraternities until the present emergcnc;
has passed.
