Getting Out From Under.

1t is probably quite natural that
there should be considerable rivalry at
TT. Harrison between the student Off
GERS of National Guard training and
those with no previous military expe-
rience, and sometimes stories are told
which might not be told If it were not
for this rivalry, says the Indianapolis

squad of sfellow-students through
squad formations the other day of a
rather intricate nature and the pro-
cess proved to be like climbing roof.
1t Is easy to climb into perilous posi-
ton astride the cone, but difficult to
climb down to safety. The young stu
dent officer got along very well until
he attempted to get his squad back in
to its original formation. Somehow 1t
wouldn't work out right. Then he cut
the knot of his difficulty with one COM
mand, delivered as sternly as possible:
