Attendance Drops Drilling under the direction of Third Officer Betty Seeley of the WAAC, the women's ROTC unit met for the fifth time yesterday afternoon. Since Dr. E. E. Lackey is unable to conduct his map reading classes any longer from 3 to 4 it was de cided to have a two hour drill pe riod next Thursday from 3 to 5. Those who are not able to attend both hours of drill should come to the last hour as usual, however. Lt. Gwendolyn Harvey, who has been drilling the unit along with Lt. Robert Adams, has received a promotion and will no longer be able to come to Lincoln to drill. In her place will be Lieutenant Seeley who is stationed in Lincoln. Along with Lieutenant Seeley were third officer Candace Arsers, staff ser geant Leonard and auxiliary Thi bodeaux wno will also aid in the drilling of the unit. Plan Drill Unit Next Year. There were only 43 present at yesterdays drill which is about one third of thoe who originally sign ed up for. Lieutenant Adams ex pressed the hope that those who have missed a time or two would not think that they could not be in the unit. New girls are still in vited to join as the formal organ ization of the unit has not taken place as yet and will not until next semester. Plans are being made at present for the WROTC next semester with student commissioned and non-commissioned officers. Any suggestions should be made to Catherine Wells.

This week a planning board made up of representatives elected from each of the physical educa tion classes met to discuss the physical education program for next year. Criticisms of the pres ent program were offered end suggestions for next year's pro gram were made. The opinions of the representatives were so varied that it was impossible to draw up any definite plans for next year at this meeting. An other meeting was scheduled for next Tuesday at five o'clock when the board will make more definite plans. Along the intramural line we find the badminton and baseball tournaments in the second and third rounds of play. Here are the badminton results for this week: Alpha Chi 1 over Raymond 2, Independent 1 over Howard Hall, Alpha Chi 1 over 331 North 13th.' Tri Delt 2 over Chi O 2, In dependent 1 over Tri Delt, Ray mond 1 over AOPi 1, and Ray mond 1 over Delta Gamma 2. The tennis courts are not yet fixed and unless the girls who are entered in the tournament are enough interested in playing it off to come over and help fix up the courts, there will probably be no tennis tournament this spring. Practices for the obstacle races are scheduled for next week. If any of you intramural reps have forgotten to turn in your teams, today is the last day they will be accepted. The o f t e n-postponed swimming meet has finally been scheduled for Saturday May 8 from 1:30 to 3:30. Because it is so late in the semester, there will be only one Saturday for the meet instead of two as in former years. The net round of singles and doubles in the table tennis tourna ment must be played off by the first of -next week. If you don't know who your opponent is, go to the WAA office where the pair ings are posted. The annual Orchesis recital is being presented tonight at eight o'clock in Grant Memorial. The dress rehearsal was excellent and the girls have really put forth a lot of effort to make this one of the best recitals yet. The army stays in on Friday nights, but you girls can assure yourselves of a good time by going to the Orchesis Hecital.

D. Leake of the Univer sity of Texas school of medicine told the American Chemical so ciety recently. Moreover, he said, the ordi nary citizen may easily take care of himself with equipment readily available in every house hold. A wet cloth or handkerchief over the nose and mouth makes a fair mask for gas concentra tions civilians might encounter. Kitchen bleach, if soaked into the handkerchief, will destroy most war gases. If eyes, nose or throat are irritated, they should be washed with a solu tion of a teaspoon of baking powder in a glass of water. If liquid war gas is spattered on clothing, take it off in a hurry and throw it out of a win dow .

Soldier Receives Instruction From Self Writer Text After the army air corps an nounced it would train meteoro logical students at the University of New Mexico, the faculty of the English department prepared for the customary tussle with comma splices, dangling participles, and split infinitives. , Dr. T. M. Pearce, head of the de partment, outlined the "Written and Oral Communication" courses for the soldiers, and waved before his colleagues a military pamphlet on military correspondence form, mentioning It as one of the text books to be used. A few minutes later Sgt. Clar ence H. Grasso approached Dr. Pearce apologetically. "Would it be proper for me to introduce my self?" he asked.
