AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE FINE FELLOWS Robert S. Ross Writes It ls Privilege to Work For Them. Try at Fire insurance inspectors from out ©of town who have been visiting va- rious manufacturing concerns in this city and testing their yard hydrants are responsible for the muddy condi- tion of the city water in the last’day or two, said Water - Spperintendent Edwin L. Burnap on Thursday night. He had had hydrants open on Main street and Broadway during the aft- ernoon in an effort to run off the dirty water and bring the supply back to its usual clearness. Incidentally, Superintendent Bur- nap remarked they. had been respon- sible for several hundred dollara worth of damage to stock in several manufacturing concerns through the muddy water getting into use in these plants. Usually when these inspections have' ‘been made, warning has been given so that manufacturers who would be dam- aged by roily water could protect themsolves against it, but this time the inspectors proceeded without giv ing auy warning The result was that a number of concerns .were caught. SBuperintendent Purnap said the inspectors had been given such a warning that he did not believe they would proceed in this way again. A former general secretary of the Norwich Y. M. C. A.. Robert S.

Exclusive -Senior Dormitory for Next YaareNext Four Wesks Will End College Year. = . One of the most important meetings of the year was held on Tuesday even- ing, when the Student Government as- sociation voted on the housing system for the ens Year, 1918-1919. 4 , of a. senior dormitory had been discussed at previous meet- ings and a motion passed that the idea would be acceptable to a majority of the assoclation. Owing to the divided sentiment regarding the house, the senior class voted to drop the matter if three-fourths of the class voted against the proposition. The result of the vote proved that the required num- ber were against the matter and by a vote of 33 in favor, 25 opposed, the subject of a senior house was dropped. The senior house was suggested OW- ing to the'fact that the class of 1919 would be the first class to graduate from the college and having no tradi- tions or precedents to follow, it would have many plans and arrangements to make resarding graduation and senior, customs.. At the present time the stu- dents are seattered about campus in every dormitory and a large number of the senior class are town or day stu- nts. Much discussion pro and con took place at the meeting held several weeks lfin and considerable feeling against the plan. developed. The college and especially the stu- dent body is yet very small and the wisdom of allowing 40 or 50 students of one class to have a house was con- sidered very questionable. Rooming System Adopted. The, matter of the senior dormitory being dropped, discussion as to the rooming system for the coming year was held. Three plans were submit- ted by the faculty for consideration. These were: 1—That students be allowed to re- tain their rooms, if they so desire, and that they sign up for respective room: by a certain specified time. That after this time a list of remaining | rooms be posted and that sealed ap- Dplications be received for the rooms; Which will be assigned in the order of application. 2—That no student be allowed ‘o re- tain the room she at present has and that all rooms be assigned by lot. 3—That students be assigned rooms with seniors having first choice, fol- lowed by respective classes. It was voted to combine plans 1 and 3, to read: That students be allowed to retain rooms which they at present have; - that a list of remaining rooms be posted, ‘and that seniors be given first choice of remaining rooms, fol- lowed by the junior, sophomore and freshman classes, It was also voted that students who enter Connecticut college from 'other. colleges not be given' the advantage or room assignments before other stu- :lients matriculated at Connecticut col- lege. Needless to say, the decision of the rooming system for next year is a de- cision which has been watched with much interest for all concerned. Busy Four Weeks Coming. The calendar of events for the re- maining four weeks of college has been completed and is completely filled with events and mtudent activities. Eyery week end has its quota of actly- ities and has been extended to include The junior banquet, the first of its kind at the college, will be held at the Mohican hotel on Monday evening.

The campaign is under the manage- ment of the Connecticut College News.

The praise servi G. Park prepared the W afternoon_session. The address of Rev. J. Finsley Birse from Smyrna, Turkey, held the close attention . of his listeners. Turkey is the only one of the non-Christian countries which has been set aside for Congregational work. The only mis- sionary board doing work there is the A. B.'C. F. M, he stated. Western ideas_of science and religion are pene- trating in Turkey today. That coun- try has a most particular place in this war. It is a rich country with unde- veloped resources including valuable mines, and to. Germany more impor- tant than Belgium, Paris or Péland. Germany has for a long time been ac- quiring railroad interests; their sys- tematic, study of the situation has re- suited {n a complete control of affairs. The peasant Turk is usually & good man: if he does terrible things it is in the name of religion. In time of massacre Turks will risk their lives for their Armenian neighbors. When 1 see the influences that have molded the Turks I wonder they are as good as they are. I have seen farmers plowing with a crooked apple tree bough, their asricultural ways of threshing date back to the time of Abraham. Old time ideas of social life are breaking down; the position of women is being changed; young men are getting the benefit of training in the athletic field. ay for the work which students have enrolled ™.
