The new barracks will be situated the drill grounds, be southeast of tween the Armory and Gymnasium. It is probable that it will be con structed after the plan of the Camp Custer barrack buildings.

C. will take oh greater military airs this fall than the school has ever known before is certain from the selection of the College for the es tablishment of a unit of the Students' Army Training Corps. This corps is being placed in a number of colleges over the country in order that stu intensive dents may be securing an military training, along with college work. Early in July, plans for the stu dents' corps were formulated by the War Department, and M. A. C. was among the first schools to be selected. In preparation for undertaking the new military work which is to be on a much more intensive basis this fall, Assistant Coach Gauthier, Professors together McCool, Corey and Cade, with some twenty-five of the best of last year's freshman and sophomore R.

President Kedzie and Major Wright- son attended a conference at Fort Sheridan the last week in August at which plans for instituting the S. A. T. C. were laid out and discussed. instructors Students entering college enlist in the Students' Army Corps and are given a deferred draft classification. Ten hours a week of drill are re quired, students are paid thirty dol lars a month and provided with uni form, subsistence and quarters, and the daily life on the campus will be that of the soldier. The organizing of a students' corps should in a large measure offset any depreciation in enrollment, such as was to be expected with the lowering of the draft age to 18 years. Since the stoppage of enlistments, inquiries" have been a great many the President's office pouring from prospective students relative to the students' training corps. into Alumni may greatly assist in keep ing the college filled by informing prospective students and young men with a hankering for the army, of the unusual opportunity which the S.
