THEY CURE NOSTALGIA
If You Don't Catch On Look It Up In Your Dictionary
If you are a woman and a lonesome freshman woman at that, you can comfort yourself with the thought that there are right here on the campus, one hundred and fifty Big Sisters who are looking for you and want to help you. You can be a friend from home and nobody loves you. "Everybody is lonesome inside" is the motto of the Big Sister organization and its intentions are to dispel every bit of lonenessness out of the hearts of the new women in the University. You are called Big Sister Captains of which Agnes Hertzler is the chairman; under each Captain are ten big Sisters who have been busy all summer getting in touch with prospective students and who have written to all of their friends. Registrar's office early, offering them help in securing rooms. Now these new women are being met at trains and will be helped to register and enroll properly. The committee co-operates with Miss Gittens, secretary of the school, A. and with Mrs. Eustace Brown, in the work of caring for the new women.
All new students whose names came into the Registrar's office elast summer have received copies of the Big Sister policy and personal letters from the committee. If you have come late and feel neglected because you have no Big Sister to help you enroll and you to all the opening parties, just contact the committee, of the committee, and she will see that you have some congenial upper-class women to be your friend. Her telephone number is Bell 1495.
The Big Sisters were chosen last year very carefully in an effort to secure women who would conscientiously perform the duties of a Big Sister and who would instil into the new women a respect for the University and a desire to get the best out of it. They will still serve to the University this fall, so there are not quite enough Big Sisters to go around among the many Little Sisters who are coming in. For this reason, Miss Hertzler would like to have the names of any upper class women who want to be Big Sisters. If you did not sign one of the pink cards last spring you are not a Big Sister upper class man, and if you care to be one of the members of the committee. About fifteen more women are needed for Big Sisters.
Look for the women wearing Big Bister badges on registration and enrollment days if you want a Big Sister hat. Hertz, Mabel, McNaupass, Stevenson, Fredrica Johnson, Iva Scott, Abigail Bixby, Agnes Hackreot, Marie Buchanan, Janet Thompson, and Alice Bowley.

SUMMER CAMP CALLED
MOST SUCCESSFUL ONE
"The engineers' summer camp this year was one of the most successful we have ever held, both in regard to their work and in our attitude of the men toward it," said Prof. W. C.

Every man that went on the trip agrees that the big feature of the camp was the screened kitchen and dining room which were presided over by the cook, Bob Waldie, junior civil, although Waldie insisted on the title of chef inasmuch as it was a first class eating place.
This work is required for all sophomore civil and mining engineers and has been held on the Robinson estate for several years. The following are the men who were in camp this summer:
Batez, W. King, H. R. Trower, J. C. Fast, W. A. Bunson, A. G. Groft, H. R. Kriegh, J. J. Krobs, H. P. Wagner, J. O. Williams, A. A. Bell, L. B. Liebde, George Hawkins, S. W. Mickey, R. Winters, J. O. Williams, Prof. H. A. Roberts, and Prof. C. McNown.
The work this year was similar to that of former years. It consisted of running base lines, levels and triangulations. The men were divided into four and each party took the topography of one half of a square mile.
