CADET INSPECTION
IS EXPECTED SOON
STATUS OF UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO
IN MILITARY AFFAIRS TO BE
DETERMINED

The inspection which will determine
the university's status on the roll of
the war department and which will al
so fix questions of priority in the dis
equipment will be held at some time
in the immediate future, according to
an announcement made this morning
from the office of First Lieutenant
Luther Felker, U. S. A., retired, uni
versity commandant.
An army officer sent out from the
headquarters of the western depart
ment in San Francisco is to conduct
the inspection, and only "a hours no
tice of the date of his exact arrival on
the campus will be given.
The inspection will occupy an en-
tire day and will involve all the ram
ifications of the military instruction
which the members of the cadet battal-
ion have received in the course of the
year. One feature of the day will prob
ably be a combat problem which will
be worked out in minute military de-
tail over ground which the inspecting
officer himself may designate.
1t is believed that the cadet battalion
has made such progress that its show
ing will be a credit to the university
and may perhaps result in an appreci-
able rise in the institutions military
standing.
