FEW OBJECT TO DRILL.
Unusual Interest Shown in Military
Preparedness at Iowa State College.

Special to Times Republican,.
Ames. Oct. 14-Only forty-four stu
denis out of $50 men who are required
to take military drill at Iowa State
college, have asked to be excused this
year. and these on account of physical
disability or religious scruples.
THAT is fair indication of the UNI
usual interest being shown at Ames
this year in things military" says Gen
J. r. Lincoln, head of the military de-
partment 1t Is probably the smallest
number that has ever been excused
from the bi-weekly duty of right dress
and forward march" Some of the
boys actually hide any physical dis
ability they may have in order that
they may not be excluded from the
ranks" says General Lincoln.
OF the forty-four students excused
four were released on account of re-
| ligious scruples, being members o.
either the Friends Quaker or Brethren
church. OF the other forty, clever
were excused temporarily for this veal
and will take drill next year. Those
men released from drill on account Of
physical disability must pass strin-
gent physical examination by the col
lege physician before they are eX-
cused.
Strange to say, most of the foreign
students at the college do not ask tc
be excused from drilling but are most
often very glad o. the opportunity.
