Student Military officers Complain.
There is war in the military department
of the university. The fighting. however,
seems to be almost wholly confined to the
student officers of the battalion. The ap-
pointments of officers, both commissioned
and non commissioned, for the coming
year took place few days ago, and many
of those who had aspired to high honors in
the department and had worked diligently
to attain them have fallen by the wayside
without even sergeantship. A claim is
made that partially has been shown not
only by the head of the department but
also by the higher officers of the battalion,
who wished to favor friends.
Military work is required from all able
bodied men in the university during the
entire four years of their course. The
first three years are devoted largely to
practical field work, while in the senior
year semi-weekly lectures on theory is de-
manded. But few of the students are at
all ambitious for honors in the science, but
consider the work drudgery, while there
are others who wish to do well in it, be-
cause it is requisite for graduation. From
these latter men have come the complaints
and several of the higher officers have
threatened to give up their straps and
stripes rather than be suDordinated to the
commands of men who they say have
done work inferior to their own, but
through pulls have managed to get be-
yond the bounds of what they really de-
serve,
For the Wilmerding School.
F. K. Shattuck, a well-known capitalist,
gents block of five acres in Berkeley as
site for the Wilmerding school, on condi-
ton that they accept it as a permanent
location for the institution and erect the
necessary buildings thereon.
The piece of property which Mr.. Shat
tuck has offered is bounded on the west by
Grove street, on the east by Milvia, on the
south by Ward street and on the north by
Derby street. 1t lies between the two
branches of the Oakland Consolidated
Street Railroad line. The Grove-street
line passes it on the west side, while the
Shattuck avenue steam railway line is but
one block to the east.
In speaking of the matter yesterday, Mr..
Shattuck said:
My neighbors have been talking about doing
something toward getting the merding
school for Berkeley, but feared nothing would
be accomplished II subscriptions were depended
upon, and after thinking the question over de-
cided to offer the agents this block. 1t is
