ton OF o now department OF the col

Of student affairs. which will handle
practically all OF the matters pertain
ing directly to the student life Of the
college except, OF course, the military
discipline. Heretofore such matters as
the student hospital the various vol
untary student activities, etc, which
have not been organized into special
department, but have been in charge
directly or indirectly OF the registrar

made 1t hard for them to give special
attention which those matters deserve.

Prof ID. II. Henry, who is peculiarly
fitted for this work. He is graduate

the service Of the institution for 20
years in the department OF chemistry.
He has always been in close touch and
sympathy with student life and has
those personal qualities which make
him admirably fitted 10 direct the stu
dent affairs.

department the now mess officer, j. I'D.
Harcomb, will have charge of the mess
hall. the laundry and the college hotel.

Nov York. where he was mess officer
Of the United states general hospitals

Nash DISTRIBUTORS

At KENOSHA FACTORY

Distributors representing the Nash
Motors Co. in various sections OF
the country gathered at Kenosha
last week for a three-day confer
ence. The meeting was in charge
OF Charles B. Voorhis, vice president
and general sales manager OF the
Nash Motors Co, and matters OF i'm
ports nee with reference TO sales and
service of Nash products were dis
cussed.
II was brought out at the con-
vention that contracts signed with
the distributors call for s79,000,0O0
worth OF business for the next II
months. The Nash Motor Co. has
reached this volume business IN a
period Of a little over three years
OF active production, during part OF
which time its activities were cen
tered on wartime production
Service TO Nash owners and the
importance OF the dealer. who oper-
ates under the distributor. were
points emphasized by Mr.. Nash and
Mr. Voorhis in their talks 10 the
visiting delegation. The distribu-
tors were told that service is the
foundation upon which the Nash or
Ganization Is built

spection OF the Milwaukee plant of

career that Obregon followed him
and his men into the wilderness Of
the north and drove him from the
state OF Sonora, where he had
launched a campaign OF murder and
depreciation.
Although Obregon is known to
have never been a very staunch ad-
mirer Of the late president. he was
appointed minister of war and
marine in Carranza's cabinet as a
reward for his victory over Fran
cisco Villas army at Celaya, during
which battle Obregon lost his right
arm.
After several years however, fric-
ton developed between Carranza and
Obregon which ultimately brought
about his resignation. He immedi-
ately thereafter publicly announced
his intention OF becoming the can
didate OF the Lfberalist party for
the presidency OF Mexico.
II was this announcement by Obre-
gon, together with the growing dis
satisfaction in the ranks OF the mil
itary. which brought about the final
overthrow OF the Carranza regime,
because OF the issuance OF the chief
executive OF a manifesto cancelling
the general presidential elections
called for July, Carranza basing his
action on the unsettled conditions
prevailing throughout the republic.

York is the most unfortunate OF
cities. Such vast population Is lit
orally a great misfortune. New
York IS 80 big that there is not
room on the streets for it's people,
nor room anywhere else for that
matter. Automobiles can scarcely
get through. and pedestrians are al
ways in each Others way. Trolley
cars and elevated and subway trains
are always over-crowded. Rent and
food are always high. and fresh
food Is almost impossible to get.
Taxes are always high, though citi-
zens never get full value fer them.
Improvements and conveniences
never catch up with the city's needs.

Problem of Future

An inquiry into the road-paving

ing extent by truck traffic. develops
these two facts:
First. the roads were Of too light
Cor struction TO begin with.
Second. there has been virtually
no regulation Of the traffic over them.
especially during the spring months
when they require most attention.
It is accepted as inevitable, by
everyone who looks into the matter.
