Time For Action

Conditions at the University Of Utah have been the
subject of complaint since the organization Of the
Students Army Training corps Believing that the condi
tons incidental to the problems Of organization and
that the officials in charge would ultimately correct the
situation the Herald hestated in giving circulation to
the complaints. From the time, however, that these
complaints first began coming to the Herald conditions
have failed to improve Despairing Of the change

Of the criticisms which have been made to the pub
lie for what they are worth. Ii
We do not assume to say who is responsible for the
conditions prevailing at the university although is
tain that is at fault The boys in the training
corps apparently have not had the consideration that has
been extended to in the regular branches of the
vice. If the criticism voiced by members of the corps
to be considered seriously they have been denied the
cesses Of life The food has been below the army stand
ard and the officials in charge have failed to provide suf
fcient clothing.
After the war was these boys were called back
to camp and although orders have been issued for the
rehabilitation Of the corps it appears to be contingent
upon the ability Of officer to learn how to do it.
The time has to cell halt on this sort Of procedure

Bloodsucker Measuring
IS Inches in Length
IIh Captured at Westpori

While seining minnows in Westport
lake last Thursday evening, Otto
Janecke and Ed .Fettgather discovered
a freak bloodsucker or leech out for
a crawl, bottled him up and brought
him home. The reptile was king Of
his species, measuring 10 inches from
mouth to mouth when stretched at
full length, and when drawn up to
normal, about eight inches long and
an incn wide. The gentlemen found
narrow necked bottle and after some
difficulty "poked' the leech in. It was
later transferred to a large bottle
and placed on exhibition at the jan
ecke shop for several days. Monday
evening he made his escape and is
probably enjoying life in Sank Lake
at present. Several hundred people
visited the Janacke "museum" during
the days of exhibition and were of one
opinion that the leech was the largest
ever captured in this vicinity

Alderman Jameson seconded the
motion, and vote was taken which re-
suited as follows, viz:
Aldermen Bergman, Jameson and
Hillerud voted aye, and Aldermen
Halverson and Sullivan vote No and
the motion was declared duly carried
and license granted.
Each of the applicants presented a
surety bond, issued by the New Ans
terdam Casualty Co., in the sum OF
100000 Of which was considered suf-
fcient and was approved by the unani-
nous vote of the council.
Ed Evans made application for a re-
newal of his pool and billiard table Ii
cense which expires July LIST, and de-
posted his check for $40 in payment
of the license fee. There was some
discussion as to the advisability OF
issuing pool hall licenses, but it was
finally voted unanimously to issue SC
long as there was no complaint ane
the place properly conducted.
Alderman Halverson stated thai
there was considerable dissatisfaction
among the number of people who wer'
actively interested in the liquor licens,
contest, on account of the delay in tax
ing the appeal. And in as much Al
this case had not been carried vi
promptly, he thought the sentimen
of these citizens were in favor o
dropping the case and saving furthe
expense. He moved that the Cit,
Attorney be instructed to drop furthe
action in the appeal case. Alderman
Sullivan seconded the motion. Presi
