'Red' Army Sees Action
Mud flew and wind blew as the sophomores of the R.O.T.C. infantry unit protected Lawrence from attack by a "Red" army yesterday afternoon. The "Red" army, which had formed a battle line on top of the hill southwest of Marvin hall, consisted of several vicious looking red flags.
ROTC Infantry Unit Stages Battle On Muddy Hillside
Forming a platoon in front of Fowler shops, the infantry marched south to Eighteenth street, then west to West Campus road. There the platoon fell out by the side of the road to receive orders. The first squad preceded the platoon by approximately 100 yards. The second squad marched on the east side of the road, and the third squad marched on the west.
Upon receiving the signal, "Enemy in sight in small numbers," the men
sprang for the cover of the ditches at the sides of the road. There was some hesitation when the infantry discovered the ditches had mud bottoms covered by two or three inches of water. However, lest they be shot in action by the waving "Red" army, the R.O.T.C. sprawled into the ditches.
Victory was finally achieved after the third squad had moved into the cornfield on their left, the second squad into a pasture on their right and the whole outfit had advanced Indian fashion to flank the flags.
Colonel Baldwin thanked the men for turning out for the voluntary drill. On the march back, many were threatening to join the cavalry, air corps, or even the fire department in order to miss any more mud baths.

'Aid To Britain' To Start Drive
Any old clothes? Well you have them long.
The Bundles for Britain leaders on the Hill will discuss plans for collecting clothing donations from students at a meeting at 4:30 p.m. Friday in the women's lounge of the Memorial Union building.
Tinfoil is also useful. Several houses have begun a tinfoil-saving campaign.
All organized houses have been asked to co-operate in gathering any extra clothing which might be used in aiding the British. Woolen clothes are needed most but anything can be used.
Attractive articles such as playing cards, lapel buttons, and compacts for sale by the group will be on display in the various houses. The profit from these articles is from 30 to 50 per cent of the selling price.
