THE SLACKER
You say he can't stand the army.
The life is too rough for him,
Do you think him any better
Than some other mother's Tom or
Jim?
You raised him up like a girl.
He doesn't smoke or drink is your
brag.
If all other boys were like him
What would become of the Flag?
You say let the rough class do the
fighting,
They are used to the beans and stew,
I am glad I am classed with the rough
necks Who will fight for the red, white and
blue.
You say his girl could not stand iU
To send him off with the rest.
Don't you think she'd be glad he en
listed When she fee's a Germans' hot breath
on her breast?
Think of the women in Belgium,
Of the cruelties they had to bear.
Do you want the same thing to happen
To your Innocent daughter so fair?
You can thank God that the stars In
Old Glory
Are not blurred. with that kind of;
stain, '
Because there are ten million rough-j
necks
That have red blood in their veins.
They go and drill in bad weather.
And come In with a grin on their face.
While your darling sits In the parlor
And lets another man fight In his
place.
Maybe we do fight an gamble a bit.
But we fight as our forefathers did.
So go warm the milk for his bottle
Thank God we doa't need your D
kid.

Memorial Hall
Most Men Registrants Apply For
. Student Army Training
Corps s
Earlv Wcndesday morning the first
day of the registration at the univer
sity, long lines of students and pros
pective students began to form out
side of Memorial hall and the Admin
tration building.
The new students with the excep
tion of the co-eds were enrolling al
most entirely in the S. A. T. C. A
great many of them either neglected to
6end the registrar their entrance cre
dentials, or did not make up their
minds to enroll in time to do so. Con
sequently an extra amount of work
has fallen upon Miss Florence Me
Gahey, registrar, and her corps of as
sistants in approving the high school
entrance grades.
Room 102 in the Memorial hall was
filled before nine o'clock this morn
ing with youths desiring entrance into
the S. A. T. C. but not Just sure how
to proceed. They were taken care of
as rapidly as possible, but even those
having time cards for registering are
far behind the time set for their Ma
triculation. Line of 500 in Wait
At two o'clock the line outside
Memorial hall contained between four
and five hundred students waiting for
entrance. It reached nearly to the
physical laboratory but every one was
waiting patiently for their turn. Up
stairs in Memorial hall everything was
moving with maximum efficiency, de
spite the unusual conditions precent
ed by the matriculation of so many
new students. The advisors quick
ly directed the students and a steady
stream was kept moving from one
desk to another as the freshman were
initiated into the mysteries of matric
ulation. Those enrolled in the S. A. T. C.
received a welcome surprise when
it was announced that there would
be no fees charged those of this
corps.
The registration is proceeding rap
idly and smoothly, all that could be
expected under the conditions con
fronting authorities.
