Fraternity Will
Equip Hospital

At thu national convention Of the
Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity at
Charleboix, Mich, in June. the key
note was National service, and the
question as to how the fraternity could
best serve our country was discussed.
called upon to do their bit, Kappa
Alpha Theta stood ready to do her
best and to show the world that COL
lege f~raternities are not wholly selfish
organizations.
Mrs. Julia Hainer O'Connor, one Of
the members, who has been associated
with the Red Cross in Washington,
D. G., was asked to come to the con-j
vention prepared to present a definite
plan for service. She gave the subject
much consideration. consulted heads
of the Red Cross and then made the
recommendation that Kappa Alpha
Theta equip the nurses Of one base
hospital.
This, the fraternity pledged itself
to do, and Miss Lola Lowther of
Syracuse, N. T., was made chairman
Of the project, The Red Cross II send
ing over base hospital units and in
each unit are IS nursss. They furnish
their own hispital uniform. but going
to q foreign country they must have
also a regulation outdoor uniform
Wnlcn Will aTOrd them protection and
recognition whenever they leave the
hospital. This uniform consists of a
special blue Voolen dress, coat with
red cross. on right arm, and military
insignia on left, a cape lined with red,
a soft felt hat, and brassards. They
also need caps and steamer rugs. The
outfit for one nurse costs about $58,
and the Red Cross becomes respons-
ible for furnishing this. The amount
necessary to equip the nurses of one
hospital Is about $500 and as soon
as The money is raised a hospital is to
be assigned to Kappa Alpha Theta by
American Red Cross. The money
Is to be raised entirely among the
members and is in no way to interfere
with athe work Of local Red Cross
chapters.
n young women Of the fraternity
are very enthusiastic over this oppor-
tunity Of making it easier for the
nurses to 80 and minister among their
brothers n friends at the front,
h local chapter Of Kappa Alpha
Theta at the university will begin their
work Immediately and are to work
under the direction of Mrs, A.. M.
Lomrhen (Selma Hassel), of this city.

chairman for North Dakota has

"Play Ball. ="

The lecture given by Henry Clark on
Wednesday evening In the New Opera
House should have drawn out a much
larger audience We suggest that if
the subject of the lecture had been ad-
vertised it would have proved draw
ing card. No one knew what Mr.. Clark
was TO talk about until he stood on the
platform.
The words "Play Ball" are magnetic
and inspiring and stir in one the long
ing to see the game, so this subject at
the head of popular lecture would
have created q desire to learn what
would be said about it.
Mr.. Clark is fluent speaker, and his
comparisons and applications of a
game OF ball to the game of life were
clear and true and won the spproba-
ton and praise of the audience. His
way of putting things and expressing
himself was excellent, and he left
many good thoughts with his listeners.
His anecdotes and jokes were good in
their way too, but not new.
