1917 SUMMER SESSION
DRILL REGULATION AND WAR
SCIENCE TO BE
GIVEN
Infantry drill regulations and mili-
tary science are the two courses in
military training to be offered during
the 1917 summer session under the
supervision of a competent officer
probably detailed to the University by
the war department. This will enable
all male students attending the sum-
mer session to take intensive training
preparatory to being called into serv-
ice in the fall.
The course in infantry drill regu-
lation includes the school of the sol-
dier, the school of the squad, the
school of the company, the school of
the battalion, ceremonies, close order
and extended order. In the course in
military science the following subjects
will be discussed: Reconnaissance,
military law as applied to the duties
of the soldier, temporary and per-
manent entrenchments, location and
relation of different units, location of
field' artillery, machine gun emplace-
ments, barbed wire entanglements and
obstructions, first aid, and camp sani-
tation.
.Interpretation of
Officers' Straps
Can you tell the rank of an army
officer by the insignia he wears?
Most people are unable to interpret
the neat designs on officers' shirts,
shoulder straps loops of coats, and
on the sleeves of overcoats.
The following inignia on collars and
shoulders indicate the rank of the of-
ficers: Major-general, two stars;
brigadier-general, one star; colonel,
eagle; lieutenant-colonel, oak leaf, sil-
ver; major, oak leaf, gold; captain,
two silver bars, and first lieutenant,
one silver bar.
On overcoat and full dress coat
sleeves there is a knot of three loops
of braid for officers below the grade
of general. The colonel has a knot
containing five rows of braid; lieu-
tenant-colonel, four rows; major, three
rows; captain, two rows, and first lieu-
tenant, one row.

Fashion 's Fiends
Forsake edoras
When Saturday dawns and campus
swains stroll idly down Ann Arbor's
well-trodden paths-State street and
the boulevard-their heads crowned
with the latest of straw creations,
many a tried and trusty derby will be
condemned to exile. For straw-hat
day is at hand.
Dame Fashion has decreed that her
male followers costume themselves in
gala attire on this day of days. Lo-
cal barbers are dusting out their ad-
justable thrones, sharpening their
swords, and preparing in a general
way for the visit of this aforemention-
ed Dame F. No, we do not mean that
the lady herself will visit the-tonsorial
artist, but that her arrival in Ann
Arbor will cause a rush to the regions
"barberous."
Here's hoping, boys, that Old Sol
will shine bright on the day of your
coronation.

HE EVANGELIZED
AMONG TE4MMATESI
Tener Says Billy Sunday Was
Influence Whie Playing
on the Field
Good'
New York, May 22.-Billy Sunday,
evangelist and ex-ball player, started
his career at turning men into the
prope? paths of life long before he
began to send his enthusiasm shooting
into their breasts from the eminence
of a platform.
Governor John K. Tener, now presi-
dent of the National league, declares
Sunday's influence was one of the best
things he ever saw on a baseball field.
Tener played ball when Sunday did.
"Sunday was a fine baseball player
and as fine a man as I ever knew on
a baseball field," Tener said recently.
"He was not a good hitter, but when
he did reach first base it was almost
certain he would score a run. He ran
upright, his feet moving like those of
a sprinter. There was no waste mo-
tion. If he had been able to hit with
any degree of accuracy his name
would have gone down in the history
of baseball with as much vigor as some
of the game's greatest men. It was
beautiful to see his long logs in ac-
tion around the bases. He was the
fastest man I ever have seen on the
base lines.
"Sunday's influence, even when he
was a young man playing baseball,
was a fine thing. le didn't have the
mistaken idea that to cure a man of
bad habits it was necessary to hold
him up for the public to gaze upon
and criticise. But you often could see
him sitting on a bench, his earnest
face turned appealingly to some man,
asking him to change his ways. He
had a way about him that made those
men think.
Wilson Favors Continuation of Sports
