S. A. t. C. Notes
BY PVT. G. II. Mover

/
! The S. A. q. c. has been well or
ganized for some time and every
thlng is running smoothly, The des-
pondent attitude caused by the end
ing of the war a few days ago has at
last run its course and a very accep-
able reaction has set in. Disappoint-
ment was as natural to these young
men as to a school boy who has been
stopped just as he was starting on a
picnic. The boys are now readjusting
themselves to the new situation and
VIII surely make good.
The Spanish flu and all other UNI
demanded germs have had about as
much luck in camp as the average
German spy used to. In fact when
Kay Walker and Vic Miller (who
went into the hospital just to have
thelr meals served in bed), decided
that they had stalled long enough the
commanding officer had to close up
the hospital and throw the key away
VI course the doctor still comes up
every day to spin yarns with the boys
but he admits that it is just a social
call.
The boys are all silently giving
three cheers for their commanding
OFFICER who arranged for the enjoy
able dance which was given for them
at Rodey hall last night. The Uni
Versity girls, who have also been in
strict quarantine, were the main at
traction. AS both the camp and uni
Versity's health conditions are excel
lent it was considered a splendid idea
Practically the entire camp turned
out And all the young ladies' from
the university dorm, Kappa Kappa
Gamma and Phi Mu house were pres
ent, in war strength, with Miss Ken
nimore as their commander-in- chief
and chaperon. The hall was decorat-
ed in q decidedly military manner
and Old Glory presided over all. The
music was furnished by the Camp
Jazz Orchestra and was a real treat
to everyone. The grand march was
led by Lieutenant and Mrs. Lisanby,
who showed very plainly that they
were Old timers at leading devotees of
she light fantastic, The faculty and
their wives were present and we are
&re all inclined to believe that they
have been there before. (however,
that is confidential) The punch
Bowl was about as popular as an all
day pass to town and never had any
reason to feel the least bit lonely. A
very clever part of the evening en-
tertainment were the bugle calls Re-
vile officially opened the affair Mess
call was sounded Just before a dainty
luncheon and taps were sounded Just
at twelve. The commanding officer
hadn't the slightest difficulty in
starting the engagement but admit
ted that he was a trifle worried about
getting it stopped, however Very
orderly retreat was affected just aft
er twelve o'clock, and everyone went
home happy.
The commanding officer has told
she boys that he will issue all day
passes for Thanksgiving to everyone
50 that they may go home, if resi-
dents, and show mother that the
army develops the appetite as we'll as
the mind and muscles. However
there will be a few exceptions to this
pass rule, chief among them being
the president vice president, secre-
tarY and treasurer Of the A. w. o. H.

seems that the lieutenant holds espe-
cial regard for these distinguished
members of one of the Oldest socie-
ties in existence, with the possible
exception of the Safe Crackers I'm
ion) and is showing marked favorit-
ism in his recent order that they
shall be allowed to stay in camp on
day and for two weeks
thereafter. Far be it from the writ
er to criticize the lieutenant's orders,
but the opinion is that when the time
comes for him to muster out the sol
diers in the S. A. T. c.. he will find
