ARIZONA CADETS ARE
 EXPECTING BIG TRIP
There Are About Fifty Mem bers and Will Be In Charge
 of Lieut. Mcclure.

TUCSON. Ariz., Jan. 30.--The uni versity of Arizona cadets are looking forward eagerly to their annual en- campment. The encampment will likely be held during the last week in March and the place to be chosen will be Sabino canyon, in all probabil- ity. This was the location chosen last year.
 There are about fifty members of the cadet corps and at the encamp- ment they will be in charge of Lieut. Mcclure. Thep urpose of the en- campment is to give the cadets a real taste of soldier life.
 During the daytime during the en- campment week, the cadets practice target shooting aud skirmishing while during the nights they are schooled in sentinel and guard duty. Each cadet will be assigned to senti- nel duty and must walk his beat for two hours.
 The cadets do not take along any paid cooks but prepare their own meals. Members of the company are detailed for this worx and 1t is stat ed that the food is well prepared. This is due to the fact that many of the cadets are ranch boys who were taught early how to cook.
 There is one thing which the ca- dets do not wish to have repeated and that Is the experience of two years ago when they pitched their tents in the Ventano canyon. During the en- campment it rained steadily for four and one-ha,f days and the outing was far from a pleasure. To add to the hardship 1t looked for a time as if the cadets would be compelle dto go hungry as they ran short of rations and the commissary wagon, loaded with supplies, was stuck on the south side of the Rillito, which was very high. Two cadets with the commits sary wagon, however, were equal to the occasion and they took their food supplies across the stream on milk cable, which the dairymen use to fer " their milk across in during the high water periods.
