Appre ciative students of this institution are using the ornamental stone aroi md the base of the trophy case in the rotunda of the Main Building for everything from a foot-rest to a door-mat. The stone is of such a design and construction as to make cleaning it almost impossible and ^ will the passage of time its condition is becoming exceedingly un- _ bfcltly. v Containing practically all the trophies that have been wun by .. A aid M teams of the past and present the case should be the pride V ei cry member of the .Student body and each man should assume his shane of the responsibility of keeping it free of marring features. The men who have the privilege of admiring the case and its contents were not called upon to ddnate time, money, or thought to its construction and pince it is a gift to them from students who have gone before, they shotid at least make it their business to protect it against mutilation. Those to whom this article refers are no doubt unconscious of the misdemeanor they are committing, arfd it is hoped that they will give the flatter some thought and keep their feet on the floor when view ing the trophies in the future TA> CAMPUS PERSONALITIES ^fi;.

It certainly does not make an impression of a military rmtui e to see this assemblage march in a formation to the Mess Hall Outs: de of the various hues and colors that would stir even an afehi- - tact's imagination, the various lengths, fits, and particularly, the types of co its make the corps look like the Russian army retreating (rom Moscow. Thu year some improvement has been made, but it wgs ''ft a concerted effort on the part of the authorities that brought the change. Quite a tew of the students have'purchased a type of coat usually referred to as a trench coat and have worked wonders m correcting the appearance of the corps at the meal formations. The trench Coat selves two purposes—it can be worn as a slicker or as an overcoat, both t ith the uniform or with “cits” clothes. The adoption of a uni form bvercoat has always been a question of debate with the authori ties I pt it seems that this year should be a logical time with clothes .values, at such a low level. Trench coats retail in the vicinity of from three to five dollars and should not prove a strain on any cadet’s tnhhrilh \J Famous outhors must have their little eccentricities and last Satur day night at the Corps dance we discovered that one short story writer for the scandal sheet is not without his.
