TO'TRAiN, STUDE-NT SOLDIERSAT CAMP War Department Will Hold "Summer Camps This Year To Train Students and Graduates For Service FEW MICHIGAN MEN ATTEND; NATION NEEDS GREAT RESERVE Will Give Certificates To Those Who Successfully Finish Course; Expenses Will Be Small In view of the present agitation for military taining, the announcement of the students' military instruction camps, which have been successfully conducted for the past two summers, is particularly timely. However, from Michigan's standpoint, the camps have been a failure, for not more than 10 students in the university attended the camp at Ludington, Mich., last summer. The War Department has decided to hold an encampment at Ludington next year. Three other sites will be selected, the most likely being Chick- amauga park, Ga., Plattsburg Bar- racks, N. Y., and the Presidio of San Francisco, Cal. The dates chosen for the middle-west camp at Ludington July 5 to August 8, inclusive. These camps are conducted by the War Department and are under the supervision of an advisory committee composed of the presidents of all educational institutions throughout the country. President Harry B. Hut- chins is a member of this advisory committee. Captains of the regular army com- mand the camps, and detachments of troops are stationed at each camp to aid in the instruction of the students. The object of the camps, as set forth in the bulletin just issued. is to give the young men of the country oppor- tunity for a short course in military training, the better to fit them to dis- charge their military duty should their country ever stand in need of their services. The physical benefits are also exploited, as well as the benefits derived from the broadening influ- ences of intimate relationship with students of other institutions.- The War Department seeks to in-i crease the small reserve of the coun- try by the instruction of men of uni- versity education, in the rudiments of army work. The camps are open to students, or graduates at least 5 feet 4 inches in height and between the ages of 18 and 30, in universities, col- leges, and the graduating classes of high schools. Students must attend for the full period of five weeks, unless compelled by actual necessity to leave before that time. The only charge made is that of $3.50 per week for board. The meals are prepared by army cooks, and will be under constant personal supervision of an officer. The gov- ernment furnishes all necessities, suWh as tents, cots, rides, and Mess bits. To those who successfully Anish tho prescribed course of instruction, cer- tificates to that effect will be issued by the War Department, and their names kept on file, with remarks as to the degree of efficiency, and fitness for future command. DEPARTMENT CONTRIBUTES BIG SUM TO BELGIAN FLOWER FUND More than $40 has been subscribed by the dent faculty and students for the Belgian flower fund, according to a statement made yesterday, by Dr., L. P. Hall, who has charge of the fund. Contributions from members of, the dental faculty and students in the' department will be thankfully receiv- ed. All contributions from the de- partment will be, added to the gen- eral flower fund. WORK OF CONSTRUCTING, NEW DORMITORIES MAKES HEADWAY Newberry hall dormitory, the small- er and cheaper of the two dormitories now being erected, presents a finished appearance as the outer frame is al- most completed. Interior work will be hurried along so that it may be open- ed to May Festival guests, at which time it is to be dedicated. Arrange- ments are being made relative to its occupancy during the summer ses- sion. The work on the other dormitory is progressing rapidly now, though it was seriously delayed by a strike in the quarries, from which the construc- tion company obtains its stone. The iron beams have been placed for the second floor and the masonry work is keeping apace. The building will be ready for use at the opening of college next fall. Employment tureau Aids Jobless Among the activities of the Michigan Union employment bureau during the past few days, was the distributing of three board jobs, two of which are to begin at the opening of Christmas vacation.
