Monthly Bond Most houses have pledged themselves to purchase a $25 bond each month, he explained. This bond will cost them $18.75. Funds to purchase these bonds will come from current income for entertainment. “This means,” Hudson empha sized, “That these houses will take money from their record and entertainment funds, fines, and other incidental incomes to pur chase the bonds.” Lump Sums Outright pledges have ranged from $6,000 to $6.50. Greek houses, dorms, and co-ops have all contributed to the fund, Hud son reported. “There have been no slackers.” Solicitors for the bond drive follow: Hudson, Lou Torgeson, Bob Cherney, Earl Maynard, Martin Schedler, and Cullen Murphy.

E. building this afternoon at 4 o’clock when Robert H. Prause, lieutenant jun ior grade, U. S. coast guard, meets with men interested in ap plying for officer training in this branch of the service. Lieutenant Prause will describe the coast guard not only as a war time field but will tell of the career advantages it offers. This program is a preliminary to the 1942 competitive examina tions to be given May 13. Due to the war and rushing of grad uations at the academy, Lieuten ant Prause states that more than the usual number of appointments will be made this year. Examinations, which are open to men between the ages of 17 and 22 years, lead to appoint ments training men for commis sions in the service. The training is strict, but, as the pictures will show, there is adventure in the guard. It is called upon to open ice-bound harbors, break channels for ships caught in rapidly form ing ice, patrol the Bering sea, and tender relief in time of disaster. New Men Pledge Five campus living- organiza tion recently added six men to fraternity pledge rolls. Those pledged: Theta Chi, Darrell Thompson; Sigma Chi, Frederick A. Franke, Jr. and James R.
