In the faculty notes of the College
Spectator of the State College for
Women at Columbus, Mississippi, ap-

From Fargo, N. D., comes Miss Susan

graduate of the University OF Mime
sofa, and arrives with a decided hint
Of the breezy energy and efficiency
Characteristic of her climate, Miss
Swella, temporarily located at the

Miss Swella who was graduated last
spring from Minnesota ~" is a
daughter of Mr.. AID Mrs. 1. w. Swell
la of Calmar. She writes regarding
her new work:
l am thoroughly enjoying the
south. Columbus is most delightful
old southern town. The people are
very proud of the fact that it is the
third oldest in the state. The college
is one of the largest and best equip
ped in the south. There are almost a
thousand girls enrolled and there are
$50 members of the faculty.
The campus here is the thing that
appeals to me most-all kinds OF
beautiful trees and even mock orange
and magnolias sprinkled among
.sssem Another pretty thing is the
athletic field, where the branches OF
4yreen extend over the entire tennis
&ad basket ball courts.
I find myself with full hours and
plenty of students to Occupy all my
time; nevertheless enjoy my work
immensely and consider my co-work-
ers most agreeable.

fication of selected men, Provost
Marshal General Crowder has direct
ed local exemption boards to compile
the information contained in their
docket sheets and registration cards.
The boards will need for this work
from five to fifteen assistants, work
ing from three days to two weeks,
according to the size of the district.
The assistants must be volunteers
trained for this class of work, and a
call was sent out today by the Council
of National Defense to its state coun-
ellis to secure the needed volunteers.
High school teachers are suggested
as persons best adapted to meet the
emergency.
To Extend War Call.
Washington, Nov. 14.-Best avail
able estimates indicate that the first
of the five classes into which all Ma
tional army registrants are to be di-
vided will contain more than 2,000,-
600 men subject for duty with the
colors before any man in any other
class will be called up.
1t is regarded as practically GER
question of extending the selection
law to cover men who have attained
the age of 81 since it was enacted
Should that be done and provision
made for the registration thereafter
Of every man as he reaches that age,
it is probable that perhaps 100000
will be added to class automatical-
ly by next March.
In that event no present plans fol-
the army will reach the men in class
y.
Officials have already considered
the possibility that Congress will de-
eide to take in these additional
young men. Some fair system by
which they may be registered, classl-
fled and assigned to places will be
devised. New regulations, to be pub
lished shortly, probably will set
way in which this can be done.
New regulations governing pass
ports for registered men become eff
fective Nov. 20. After that date the

No detail of the status of depend
