Melcher, commandant of the Annex. Announcement of the new appointment came in a special or- der issued by Col. Melcher. Other men who received appoint ments to the regimental staff were as follows: Fields T. N., executive officer: Thornton W. 8„ regimental chaplain; Bailey T. E., adjutant; Wauters F.

Tromindes .,r ..jw Version Of Dominoes By JIM EAGER Paul Carnahan, mathematics in structor at the Annex, is experi menting with the basis of a new game. It |s to be played witW a special set of blocks somewhat like dominoes, bxcept they are three- sided and fare divided into three compartments instead of the usual two. Until they are officially named we shall'!refer to them as tromi- noe^. | Irsteadjhf thef highest suit be- “sixes,;’ as jit is with dotni- it is "fours.” Therefore there 35 trominoes. Instead of the double six being high, the triple fouV is the highest tromino. Mr. Carnahan has not as yet made blocks for this game, but Is using three-cornered cards for the experiments. Reasoning that this is the easiest way to determine how well they will work as \ the basis of a game, he is using these cards to plhy with until he deter- mines their success; . with "Dominoes" and "Mpon" as b background he has put them Into play It) the Student Center re cently. Ip the unnamed game they seep) to W'drk very well. To,sim plify the game, mutipjes of five ure used for scoring, hut with these newt trominoes any other number might well be used. When played as “Moon," action soon beepmes very complicated. Rules are slowly developing and it has promise of beepming very interesting. Being considerably more complicated than the parent game and there fore requires a great deal more concentration. If the game - isn’t enthralling, the experiments at least are. | Letters Editor, Freshman Battalion: I would like to bring to the at tention of the college annex^ offi cials the deplorable handling under which our annex hospital is oper ating. The nurses and attendants are the most independent, sarcas tic hospital personnel I have seen in any hospital. According to the hospital per sonnel a cadet isn’t supposed to get sick or need hospital attention ex cept during clinic hours. They will only consider a case an emergency if the patient is half dead and when they do admit one his treat ment is accompanied by sgreasm and; an air of disgust. Not only have the students no- practically the same conditions ex isted last year. It is evident that the college has done nothing to correct this matter. This letter is being written with the intension ,that it will be re ceived by th# college in a con structive way, so us to, benefit all the students. After 1 all,-the students are human and only ex pect to be given the courtesy and treatment they would receive in any other hospital. It would be greatly appreciated If this matter could be investigated and correct ed. Name withheld by request Possible Mural Stars Sighted for Marathon By PAT LeBLANC The intramural cross country run will be held today at 5:00 p.m., starting at the gymhasium, accord ing to N. A.
