AMBULANCE CORPS
Following the example set by
a great many of the colleges and
universities of the country there
should be inaugurated at the Uni
versity an Ambulance or Hospital
corps for the studying of "Drill i
Regulations and Outlines of First
Aid for Hospital Corps."
The reasons for the necessity
of such a course are many. The
government will need many more
men trained in this branch of the
service than are possibly avail
able. For those students who
are preparing to study medecine
such a training would be invalu
able. There are many who would
jump at such an opportunity of
social service. And, last, but far
from least, there are many who
would welcome such a means of
giving them a field of service for
religious activities.
FAREWELL
As we take up our pen to write
this, our farewell editorial, it is
with a feeling of rejoicing and
yet with regret. When we think
of the lost sleep, the tired bodies
and the worry attached to tihe
problem of trying to get a coher
ent paper out of a conglomerate
mass of material, we are glad to
be relieved. But when we think
of the experience and training
had or the many pleasant phases
encountered, it gives u1s a pang
of regret to think that this is the
last.
We appreciate our many, many
shortcomings not so much as our
readers perhaps hut so far as we
as human beings can, and wish
for oulr successors far greater
attainments than we had even
hoped to gain.
There are three suggestions
that we want to make after hav
ing seen conditions as they exist.
The first is in regard to the ed
itorial stalf. There should be an
assignment editor to have entire
charge of the staff and see that
their articles are written. This
will allow the managing editor to
assist the editor-in-chief of the
office.
The second suggestion is in re
gard to the paper itself. We
shotlld by all means have an eight
page paper. Two reasons for
this are ample. Almost every
state university has an eight page
paper and we do not want to fall
behin(l; and six pages are not
enough to cover the many hap
penings at the UJniversity and1 at
the same time publish articles of
generalI in terest. There has not
been one single edition that we
have not had to use the knife on
the material far more than was
best.
Lastly we want to urge again
the plan suggested by Dri. Green
whereby every studlent would
have his part in the support of
every student ac'tivity in general
