This week we're out to un
earth some little known organi

part in' campus life. These groups
don't make front page news, but
they are working hard and get

One of the outstanding organi
zations in this category is the
Rifle Club headed by Barbara
Gardiner, president and Miss
Betts, sponsor. W. A. A. pro
gram under the auspices of the
women's P. E. department. Some
70 girls signed up for a program

Later this year when the fe

Nazis Visit? Prague
1 It was on this day in 1939. that
a Nazi SS division visited Praha
(Prague) for the purpose of a
tragic reprisal, resulting from the
observance of the 21st anniver
sary of the founding of Czecho
slovakia on Oct. 28.
In an effort to surpass
celebration, German police killed
Jan Opletal, 24-year-old student
of Charles university in Praha.
on Nov. 15, 2,000 students gath
ered around ; the coffin of the
dead student to escort the bier to
the cemetery, but the Nazis
would not allow an escort. They
drove the students away with
fixed bayonets and machine guns
and dispersed them every time
they attempted to reassemble.
SS troops scoured the town on
the following night, routing the
students out of the dormitories.
After overcoming a hopeless re
sistance by students clad only in
night clothes, they arrested 2,000
of the patriots.
Nine of this number were ac-
tries met again in 1946 in
Prague for the purpose of organ
izing the International Union of
Students, choosing Nov. 17 as the
Wate to begin their meeting and
thus observing the first post-wir
International Student Day.
