Knowledge of Greek Needed By Students
The study of Greek language and art is essential to a thorough understanding of our language, our own government and modern science, in the opinion of Prof. M.W. Sterling of the department of ancient languages.
"The Greeks were the greatest race of people the world has ever seen," Professor Sterling declares. "They produced the best, the most advanced and the greatest philosophers. The Greek language forms the basis of practically all our "thought words." If one intends to go very deeply into any subject he must know its source and its development until the age until the present day."
"We can not understand our language, our own government, art, the sciences, nor countless other institutions without tracking them back to their Greek origin. Number one of the most have been men in the world urging people to study Greek and Latin. Fifty-one of the professors at Cornell University said when interviewed by Doctor Formal, that they preferred students those in the university to prepare preparatory studies in High School rather than those who neglected these studies in favor of modern languages."
Enrolment in the Greek courses indicates that few of the students realize the importance of this subject, and has increased little in recent years.
"Years ago this department received the reputation of offering very difficult courses, and Professor Sterling "That I imagine, is what he has to explain, why students hesitate to take courses in this department."

R.O.T.C. Men Have Opportunity To Officer Uncle Sam's Armies In Time of National Emergency
Every student should fit himself to serve his country in time of national emergency, according to Major E. W Turner, commandant of the University R. O. T. C. The college man who has the opportunity to become an officer in the Reserve Corps and to lead the units of the army upon which the safety of the country may depend. When graduated from the R. O. T. C. School of theology he can accompany second lieutenants and their preparation fits them to lead a battalion or regiment in the event of national crisis.
While it is not expected that every member of the Corps will achieve this honor it has been demonstrated that the bulk of the officers in time of emergency must be drawn from the colleges and higher secondary schools.
In Major Turner's opinion certain qualities such as physical fitness, alertness, power of co-ordination, discipline,礼貌, character, leadership, organization, and manual dexterity are important to success whether civil or military; and it is the aim of the R. O. T. C. to emphasize and promote such qualities.
"The late war taught the imperative need for a large number of trained officers who must be provided in time of peace and not after the outbreak of war. While this applies to every branch of the service it applies in particular to the officers of infantry, engineering, and artillery, who can perform most successfully their unique of their arms in a few months, if at the same time they must receive basic military education," said Major Turner.
"Moreover, the experience of the war has taught that military power involves a high degree of technical and specialized training, and that in the future even more than in the past, the nation must depend upon its educated men. The circumstances of another war may not provide the opper-

tunity to take time to train the necessary officers," he continued.
The basic course requirements are:
freshman year, three hours per week;
sophomore year, three hours per week;
a summer camp of six weeks between these two years. Camp attendance is voluntary.
The advanced course requirements are: junior year, five hours per week; senior year, five hours per week and a summer camp of six weeks between these two years required for those taking advanced course.
The basic course is elective for students in other branches of the university. Only students who have completed the basic course and who have been selected by the professor of English may enter the dean, may enter the advanced course.
A student who enters the advanced course and signs the written agreement to complete the course and to attend a summer camp of six weeks receives commutation of rations for the entire junior and senior years and the intervening vacations, except for the six weeks at camp during the student receives the same pay and allowance as a member of the regular army.
From the students enrolled in the R. O. T. C. basic course, a certain number are selected each year by the professor of military science and tactics. The number who may attend depends on the amount of appropriations for R. O. T. C. activities made by Congress. While at camp the students furnished food and clothing, and all transportation to and from camp paid.
Mizzou Gamblers Still Roll Dice
Missouri gambrelers are very much relieved, now that the house committee on criminal jurisdiction has killed the bill proposing a jail sentence for those who sell or have in their possession cubic dominoes. This law is intended to punish someone in color, or previous condition of addiction. Rattling ivory, music to the ears of some, will ring in Missouri for a while at least.

Bandit Shot On Sante Fe
Unnoticed Mail Clerk Effect Capture Last Night
While mail clerks were discharging mail from the Chicago Express in Lawrence last night, a handset entered the mail car at 6:14 o'clock and commanded two of the clerks to throw up their hands.
manders two of the clerks to throw up their hands. A third man, Judson Martin, shot the bandit twice in the left arm knocking him to the floor. He wiped off his face and tied his hands and feet. He was given over to Kansas City police and was treated at the General Hospital. W. W. Burnett, Santa Fe agent for Lawrence, said that he could not say what happened but he did hold the bandit a ticket. One in Lawrence saw the bandit enter the car as far as can be determined. Mr. Burnett said he noticed that this train stopped in the yards but did not see any of the affair.
