LUNCH.
Tho undertaking on tho part of tho
domestic sclonco department to provide
lunch for tho students has proved very
successful during tho past week. Tho
project was started Monday, January
7 and every day more have como for
lunch than could be provided for by the
assistants.
Tho meals are served jn tho alcove
on the lower floor of mechanic arts
hall; tho place is small and only eight
een can be served at a time. On this
account many arc unable to bo waited
upon and consequently go to other,
places.
The lunch is cooked and served by
students in tho department, who take
this method of securing a practical ed
ucation In the art of cooking. There
are about fifty students enrolled in the
department. Besides studying the art
of cooking, they are also Investigating
tho subject of tho arrangement and
care of homes.
An erroneous Idea has taken posses
sion of the minds of a good many, in
that it is supposed that a full lunch
or dinner can be obtained when want
ed; and it is desired by the manage
ment that the impression should be
quickly dissipated.
The Items which are offered from
day to day aro tho results of tho work
done by-classes in the domestic science,
and include such light dishes as soups,
chocolate, light pastry and drinks
which help to fill out a partial lunch
which tho student carries.
This feature is entirely now and
somo experiments will be tried before
tho department will bo in full working
order. Changes will bo mado as It is
seen best to mako them.
At present tho department is crowd
ed but It Is hoped that larger quarters
may bo obtained.

A new order of affairs goes Into
effect in tho military department Mon
day, January 14th; one that will cause
the bflttallpn to como nearer to per
fection than ever before. Deportment,
attendance and discipline will be takoa
into consideration toward tho corapet
atlvo drill in tho spring. Each com
pany is graded by 100 per cent; DO
per cent of this Is taken for cprapota
tivo drill, 25 per cent for attendance,

shoulder rents the good or bad fortune
of tho company. The honor of receiv

of chanco but a reward to tho hard,
Eteady and conscientious drilling of
every man from captain to private
