Social events of fall term were scheduled Tuesday at the dean
of women’s office. Any additions to the calendar must be made
by petitioning the dean of women’s office, it was announced.
Influence of soldiers stationed on the campus was seen in
the fact that few social affairs are scheduled for Friday nights,
formerly popular for house dances. Since the soldiers must
make 10:15 or 10:50 bed checks on Friday nights, most dances
and other functions are now being held Saturday nights.

Called upon to fight fire, Ed
Burlingame, a law student on the
campus last year and now private
first class in the U. S. marine
corps, had a preview of what war
is like. He was one of 87 U. S.
marines seriously burned in a
brush fire near San Diego, which
resulted in the deaths of four.
Burlingame received burns on
bjfc> left leg, left sidl of his face,
and “backside.” He reported,
however, that he was first in and
would probably be the first out
of the hospital. “I was lucky and
will have no scars,” he added.

possible to get another band, were given as reasons for the
postponement. It is against army regulations for an army band
