Of this number only 25 were regular students of the junior and senior classes spe cializing the rest were of the short course men. Mr. Edwards of the Animal Husban dry department and Mr. Berridge of the short the men. One big treat to the men out side of the show itself was the privi lege granted to the upperclassmen of passing through Swift's packing house. The two stiongest impressions were the efficiency of the plant.and the ex treme care with which Federal Meat Inspection guards the output. the safety of accompanied course The Livestock Show itself was won about one-third derful. There was more entries than ever before and they were all of the highest type that the world produces. Many of our represented prominent colleges were by judging teams and exhibits. Of these Nebraska won a great victory in producing the best students' stock judging team, and Purdue in growing and feeding the grand champion fat steer. It is regretted that M. A. C. is not these animal competi able to enter tions at the International Show. M. S. DEGREES GIVEN. At the November meeting of the Board the Master of Science degree was awarded to Mr. Ivan Wright in Economics, Mr. Walter K. Makemson in Botany, and MK Lawrence C. Wheeting in Soils. Mr. Wright, a graduate of the Uni versity of West Virginia in 1914, ma jored in Agricultural Economics. His thesis was on the "Use Farmers Have Made of Credit." He is now an in structor in the Department of Agri cultural Economics at Cornell. Wheeting, of '16, finished his thesis on "The Effect of Moisture, Tempera ture and Compaction upon Movements of Soluble Salts in Soils," just,in time to go to Camp Custer with the last contingent. We are sure of one thing, the barracks that Wheeting is in will keep in good spirits as long as he is around. Makemson, also of '16, is now doing mycological research work on foods in the Department of Chemistry at Washington. His special work here was on the leaf spot mold which does so much damage to tomato plants. M. A. C. JOINS AMERICAN UNIVER SITY UNION IN EUROPE. M. A. C. is now a member of the American University Union in Europe, which has its headquarters in Paris. As the name suggests, it is a Union whose object "shall, be to meet the and needs of American college men who are in Europe for military or other service in the cause of the Allies." university To be more definite as to the objects of the Union, the following is quoted from its constitution: 1. To provide at moderate cost a home with the privileges of a simple club for American college men and their friends passing through Paris or on furlough: the privileges to include information bureau, writing and news paper room, library, dining room, bed rooms, baths, social features, etc. 2. To provide a headquarters for the various bureaus already established or to be established in France by repre sentative American universities, col leges, and technical schools. 3. To co-operate with these bureaus when established, and in their absence to aid institutions, parents, or friends, in securing information about college men in all forms of war service, re porting on casualties, visiting the sick and wounded, giving advice, serving as a means of communication with tiiem, etc. The organization grew out of two smaller movements which were organ ized early last summer. These were the American University Alumni As sociation in France and the Yale Bur eau from in Paris. Representatives 15 American colleges started the or ganization and since that the membership has increased to over 40. This Union came into existence as a war measure but it will doubtless continue after the war and be a means of inducing graduates of American in stitutions to continue their studies in France. A still greater benefit, how ever, will be the development of a feeling of fellowship and thus a strong connecting link between the U. S. and time our Allies. The Union also has a Lon don Branch, similar to, although not so extensive as the one in Paris. M. A. C. gladly her share to the maintenance of this or ganization for her men who are or will be "over there." contributes HORTS ATTEND STATE MEETING. Junior and senior horticultural stu dents attended the 47th annual meet ing of the Michigan State Horticul tural Society in Grand Rapids Dec. 4 and 5. In the speaking contest G. I. Blades, '18, won the first prize of $15 on the subject, "The Toz'c residues of arseni cal sprays," P. J. Hoffmaster, '18, took the $10 prize with a talk on "Grass Varieties for Lawns, with E. S. An derson, "European Grapes for America." Six other M. A. C. men entered the contest. third, '18, on The meetings were very instructive and the numerous exhibits and identi fication and judging contests created interest drawing features for the stu dents. SENIORS VETS LEARN EQUITATION Under the guidance of several offi cers from the State Constabulary the senior veterinary students are taking up a very practical course in riding and horsemanship. The course is in tended primarily for men who expect to enter cavalry or artillery service after graduation and will be of great practical value in teaching the ap proaching and handling of animals as well as horsemanship. The men are trained in the same enter manner as the recruits who branches of army service where horse manship is required. The first lessons consist of proper methods of blank eting, hobbling and horses, and later lessons in bareback riding, mounting and dismounting, and rein-, ing are given. leading The course is at present given only to senior veterinary students during the clinic hour, but soon it is hoped that the course will be given a regu the college curriculum lar place and credit given for the work. There are eleven men from the veterinary school taking the course, most of which is given by Lieut. Rex Watson of Troop 2. in 4 THE M. A. C. RECORD.

BASIS. the The establishment of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps at M. A. C. has brought about a decided change in the military work at the institu tion. Under the direction of Major Wrightson the new order of work is rapidly being brought up to the stan dards set by the war department for R. O. T. C. units and courses changed to comply with requirements. The object of the Senior Division of the Officers' Reserve Training Corps, the one which applies to col leges of our standing, has as its pur pose the training of officers for active army service. The plan is similar in its operation to the one carried out at Fort Sheridan and other officers' training camps, the only difference being the time over which the train ing extends. This time at M. A. C. is four years, the first two of which are required for all male students at tending the college,-with the last two elective for juniors and seniors. This plan naturally divides the work into two parts. The details of these two divisions now in, operation at M. A. C. are as follows: First of all every entrant must un dergo a rigid physical examination, such as is given applicants for the Plattsburg and Fort Sheridan camps, which determines his physical qualifi cations as a potential officer. This examination is given freshmen and should they not pass they must continue in the work but will not re ceive government compensation. The second two-year course may be elect ed, but only those physically fit for reserve officers will be paid on the training unit basis. During the required two years three hours a week are given to military work, including both practical and training. The practical theoretical work includes the fundamentals of close and extended order drill, aiming- drills, gallery practice, and the care of the rifle. There is also instruction given in combat principles, fire control and first aid work. The theory work consists of lectures on personal hy giene and first aid work, and also class room discussions of the practi cal work carried out. The military training of the junior and senior years is entirely optional. If the student decides to take this ad vance work he is required to sign an agreement which requires that he at tend two summer camps of six weeks each and accept a commission at the completion of the training. The work during these last two years requires five hours a week, three of which are the freshmen and used for drilling sophomore companies and the remain ing two are devoted instruction given by the commandant. Under the new system the entire responsibility of training freshmen and sophomores to rests with the junior and senior offi cers. The instruction of the extra two hours includes such work as trench fighting, hand grenade throwing, and other tactics of modern warfare. At the end of the last summer camp the student will receive, on recommenda tion of the president of the college and of the commanding officer, a commis sion in the U. S. service. In return for carrying out the mili tary work as prescribed by the war department, the student will receive from the government fourteen dollars for each of the first two years. Those taking the last two years will receive twenty-three dollars for equipment, a daily ration amounting to about thirty cents and transportation to and from the summer camps. Another change which will go into effect next term concerns the time of drilling. During past years drill has been at the close of the last class in the afternoon but in January the work will be conducted during the day just as is any other school work. The Reserve Officers Training Corps system was brought about by the evo is lution of military progress based on the years of experience of the the war department in training National Guard, and also upon the highly gratifying results of the short term officers camp at Plattsburg, New York. and The new system has many advan tages. It will save time for the stu dent who does not care to take more than two years of military work, and it will benefit by student keeping out the who was formerly a drawback to the work. department indifferent the Major Wrightson, in charge of the new unit, is a man of wide experience both as an instructor of cadets and in active army service. as an officer His ability coupled with the enthusi asm which students are showing for the work point toward a very success ful training unit under the new plan. sfc- -" • 3fc / - ig %; :•: ^ * ^ :fc .%: # ^ MEN IN SERVICE. * * * * * The college is sending you the * * RECORD gratis in return for your * * name and address.

The new Reserve Officers Training Unit recently established at M. A. C. has brought about many changes in the military organization. Heretofore freshmen and sophomores could sub stitute band work for military credit, and but the new automatically course makes all of the first two year men drill and takes them out of the band and the bugle squads. As the band is always composed of about 60 to 70 per cent of the first two year men, the existence of the band seemed doomed. In view of the vital place the band the holds in student activities and splendid reputation it has made for itself both as a musical and a military faculty students organization, agreed that the band must not "go." To hold the organization it has finally been arranged to pay each band man twenty-five dollars per year, for the band work. With the freshmen and sophomores an adjustment is neces sary, due to the fact that they have to drill, and also to the fact that drill depends upon their physical examina tion. The plan for these men works and out as follows: All freshmen sophomores are required to pass a physical examination before they may enter upon the course of training given in the Reserve Officers Training Corps. If the student passes this examination he will receive about fourteen dollars from the government per year as an allowance on his uniform. If he de cides to take up band work in addi tion to this he will receive ten dollars the state, which will per year from If make a total of about fifty dollars. a student does not pass the physical examination he is required to substi tute one and one-quarter credits per term for the period which he would have been drilling. If he decides to take up the work in the band, he will only receive the twenty-five dollars as paid by the college. CORTRIGHT '11 WRITES FROM "OVER THERE." Nov. 18, 1917. Dear Kibbie: Meant to drop you a line some time ago as I'd hate to lose touch both with the college and the old friends through the paper. Have been over here five months and can "parle vous" myself almost any place now without giving the natives the idea I'm trying to insult them. That's about all. As my "dope sheet" indicates, I had a commission thrust upon me recently. Now, I surmise I am to go out and earn it. Reverse the usual order. Am fondly hoping to get a strangle hold on the next rung soon. It's all "a-la-guerre" over here. The folks at home will never realize the struggle all Europe. Also and sacrifice of thankful to be able to fight here in stead of at home, for the evils of life hit a war-ridden country like disease "bugs" get to a weakened man. As long as I can fight, no Bosche will "run my roost." Am glad to see so many M. A. C. boys doing their active bit and am glad to be able to do mine.
