TRIG NEW GARB
VOTED "U" DRILLERS

Acting on the assumption that the
stiff and hard-to-fit khaki uniforms
of the past have created i'll feeling
towards military drill the University
of Minnesota has taken advantage
of a recent war department ruling to
adopt a new and dressy type of un-
form.
First and second year students in
the university are required to take
what is called the basic military
course. Juniors and seniors may con-
tinue the study of military science as
an elective if they wish to.
The new uniform, which the board
of regents approved at it's April
meeting last week, will be Of olive
green instead of khaki and will have
roll collars in place of the stiff
military choker type of the older un-
forms. An overseas cap and shirt
that will harmonic with the rest OF
the outfit will go to give it a trig
look and to make it comfortable.
The change was recommended to
the board of regents by President l..
D. Coffman at the suggestion of Maj
or John H. Hester, military COM
mandant.
The students will not have to pay
for the uniforms, the cost of which
will be betrayed by the war depart
ment in payments of $1,000 year
per uniform. Inasmuch as students
wear their uniforms only part OF
the time, it is estimated that one will
last at least three years, during
which period the government will
have paid $4,000. The outfits will
cost $25.OO, leaving slight margin
over the actual cost to care for accid-
ents and alterations.
President Coffman told the board
of regents that 2,70O of the 1000
students in the university take drill,
by far the greater number of them
being freshmen and sophomores. OF
the 1000 about $500 are men.
A proposal made last fall to add a
naval unit to the R. o. T. c. has been
dropped, at least for the time being.

SUMNER SESSIONS
BEGIN AT gu" JUNE II

If attendance standards of recent
years are maintained, between 5000
and 5000 persons will attend the
two summer sessions of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota which will be con-
Quoted this year from June II to
July 26 and from July % to August
80.
Special projects in the study of
governmental relationships, fine arts,
medicine and law will help make the
sessions notable.
Statewide projects is expected to
be aroused by the conference on gov
ernmental relationships, which will
take up present situations in the ad-
ministration of such laws as those re-
lating to public health, police activi-
ty, taxation, and the like. The prin-
cipal question will be whether the
areas of administration are proper
ly divided, for example, whether an
imaginary township or county lines
should stop an officers authority to
pursue and arrest murderer or to
examine and clean up source of
disease infection.
Six men from different parts of the
United States will come to Minnesota
as visiting professors of law during
the summer, two from Yale, one from
Harvard, one each from Sanford and
the University Of Washington and
one from the University of North
Carolina.
Faculty members from several
state teachers colleges, and officers
of various public school systems and
state departments will cooperate in
some of the ventures of the summer
sessions.
