No credit for work in the R. 0. T.
C. course will be given to the cadets
unless all unexcused absences are
made-up, and the attendance record is
perfect, announced Lieut. George C.
Mullen yesterday afternoon.
It is absolutely imperative that the
students continue military training if
once enrolled in the course. A stu-
dent who has dropped a course and
has not received recognition from the
commandant that such is the case, will
not receive a degree from the Univer-
sity, although the regular University
credits- will be granted.
All unexcused absences for this
semester must be made up before the
examinations before credit can be giv-
en for the military work. The make-
up work can be done next semester
only by special permission from C. F.
The department of physical edu-
cation of the University of Chicago
has recently made some startling dis-
closures concerning the health and
physical fitness of the students. Over
25 per cent of the freshmen wear
glasses, and 15 per cent ought to wear
tlem. Over 10 per cent need the ser-
vices of a dentist. Vaccination for
small pox is decreasing and the dis-
ease is spreading correspondingl[.
Both Harvard and Yale have for the
past 25 years conducted their athletic
training along wrong lines according
to Dr. D. A. Sargent, who is an alum-
nus of Yale and director .of physical
education at Harvard. He said that
the colleges have had athletics for
only a few instead of letting every-
one into the game, and that the war
has shown us that all our men should
be physically fit,.
All intercollegiate relations between
Purdue university and the University
of Indiana have been severed and all
athletic and other obligations have
been cancelled.
Two masked robbers broke into the
Minnesota Union lunch room Dec. 19
just as the cash was being counted
and after covering the cashier and
the kitchen help made off with $135
in cash.
Through the efforts of the student
council of McGill a large skating rink
is soon to be placed at the disposal
of the students.
The athletic council of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania has reduced its
football schedule from the usual elev-
en contests to eight as a war-time
measure.
