C. O. TAKES CARE OF BARRACKS
Duties Range From Turning Out
Lights TO Making Fires.

Almost every private in the S.A.T.C
gets a chance to act as an officer, Il
only for a day. This chance comes
once a month or perhaps more fire.
quently. While the Office of non
commissioned officer in charge OF
quarters doesn't rank very high as
commissions go, nevertheless it is
something. Being n. c. O., or C. O.,
as it is more accurately called, has its
good and bad points.
Immediately after reveille the n.
c. o. fer the day assumes his duties.
The c. Q. will usually find some one
to take his place while he goes to
breakfast. With the return of the
company from mess, the troubles of
the n. c. o. begin. 1t is his duty to
see that the barracks are thoroughly
cleaned. He has Orderlies to assist
him in his work
More than likely the orderlies will
forget to clean the bathrooms, or carry
out the ashes, and the c. Q. has to.do
it himself. About then the lieuten-
ant will drop in to see how things are
going and two to one he will bawl
out the c. Q. for having such a dirty
barracks.
After the barracks has been cleaned
the n. c. o. has some leisure time.
He must stay in barracks, however,
all day. except at mess time.
If he tries to read or sleep the tele-
phone will ring. All scrts of orders
come in and he has to make notes OF
them and see that they are carried
out. If he should forget a small item
he would be 'iOut of luck" Then, two,
he must see that. the furnace fire is
kept going through the day.
But being C. Q. also has its good
points. While acting in that capacity
the buck private in the rear rank is
excused from attending all classes, all
military formations and even study
hall at night
While the remainder of the COM
pany is in the study hall the n. C. o.
remains in charge of the barracks
He is in supreme command unless o
commissioned officer steps in.
The n. c. o. must see that all lights
are turned off promptly when taps
sounds at 10 o'clock at night. He
must also take a check roll call to
see that all are in quarters.
And then he has to get up the fol-
lowing morning and start the fur
mace and hct water heater, an hour
before reveille. That is the hardest |
job of all

The Missouri Valley football cham
pionship will be determined next Sat
urday when the teams of Nebraska
and Washington University meet in
st. Louis for a post-seasOn contest.
That is, Washington contends that it
will be a championship game but the
latest news from Nebraska is to the
effect that it will be just a football
game and that the Nebraska authori-
ties decline to consider that it is for
the championship of the Valley.
The argument of Nebraska is that
Washington has at least three players
on its team who are not eligible under
the Missouri Valley rules; that these
men are professionals and hence can
not properly take part in champion
ship contest. The answer of Washing
ton is that all Missouri Valley rules
have been suspended this year and
hence these men have a right to play.
Thus no matter which team wins
next Saturday. the title for this year
will remain under a cloud. Nebraska
defeated Kansas and Kansas in turn
defeated the Kansas Aggies. The only
conference game that Washington has
won has been the one with Drake Uni
yersity.

KAISER CALLS DOWN
 GENERAL LUDENDORFF
Violent Quarrel Preceded Offensive On West Front, According to
 Visitor tO Berlin.

Maris. March 27.--Emperor William and General von LudendOrff had a violent quarrel before the beginning of the great attack on the western front, according to a prominent Swiss who has just returned to Zurich after some weeks in Germany and has been interviewed by the correspondent of the Temps. This man is quoted as saying.
 '"rhere was much discreet talk in Berlin before the present offensive concerning extremely violent scenes between Germans leaders at general headquarters. General von Ludendorff spoke so violently and authoritatively that the emperor becoming very pale, arose from his chair and, pounding the table, demanded:
 "'General, are you or emperor of Germany"
 General von Ludendorff replied that he was only soldier and more than anyone else desired peace. He said he was convinced that his plans for an offensive were capable of bring ing it about"
