c unit may be abol ished or may undergo changes in the face of the economy legislation that is now pending in congress it might be well to hark back to the days during the war when lehigh went in for military training in a real big way when the united states entered the war lehigh very quickly took on the appearance of an armed camp in fact there actually was an army camp at the university barracks were installed in the old baseball cage that used to be situ ated back of the grandstands on the upper field pete boquel's house was used for the officer's quarters the whole establishment was called camp cooppee after the first president of the university more troops imported as the war progressed more troops were brought here and the gymnasium also was converted into a barracks by the end of the con flict even the fraternity houses were turned over to the soldiers the troops stationed here were mainly men taking courses in elec trical and mechanical engineering and after they had finished they were sent to the various army en gineering units to complete the picture of a for tress that lehigh must have pre sented at that time sentries did reg ular.duty guarding the campus from unwanted intruders and men in un iform far outnumbered civilians camp coppee even had a hospital attached to it and the building that served this purpose was drown hall freshmen and sophomores who complain about r o t c drill now should thank their lucky stars that they were still running around in knee pants at that time for drill started promptly at seven o'clock in the morning the schedule then did not permit students to drill at any other time and therefore they did their squads right before chapel the first head of the m s & t de partment went the war comman dant one better however he got students up at 6 a m on monday morning summer and winter that was when prayers for rainy mon days were really fervent in 1918 the lehigh football team beat lafayette 78-0 although both billy burkhart and pete boquel are rather reticent on the subject they did admit that there were plenty of tough eggs around the campus at that time and there is a possibility that several of them might have got into the game by mistake the eli gibility rules not being too strict four officers are ordered to maryland captain keck tow rice and sadler left today will take part in re forestration program move is part of roosevelt's governmental economy plan president franklin d roosevelt's rigid governmental economy plan is showing its first effects at lehigh in the m s & t department by order of the director of the budget douglas in orders received yesterday from the headquarters of the third corps area by major james o green head of the mili tary department here four mem bers of the staff have been com manded to report at once to fort meade maryland capt william m tow john k rice p l sadler and c h keck the men affected by the order must report today at fort meade for du ty with the civilian conservation corps major green announced that the orders do not state the length of time the officers will be away from the military department they may be absent for one month or for the rest of the summer the men at any rate will be absent from the de partment for an indefinite period will condition men details of the orders reveal that the officers duties will consist of training and conditioning men for work in the civilian conser\%tion corps in its reforestration of our timber regions the civilian conservation corpus is part of president roosevelt's pro gram for the relief of unemploy ment and the rehabilitation of those who have suffered from the depres sion the corps absorbs young men who are unemployed for a national job which becomes more necessary each year with the continued de pletion of our timber reserves after a month's training the men will be taken to the ninth corps area for further assignment whether or not the officers will re turn to the lehigh unit at the end of that time is not known business as usual major green stated that with the exception of the loss of two hours instruction this semester for jun iors and seniors taking advanced military courses the slogan of the department will be business as usual although the detachment of these officers to other work handicaps the military department to an immeas urable extent major green believes that he with the assistance of those men remaining with the unit will be able to finish the semester's work without great loss of time or efficiency with the semester practically over the main work of the military department will be the correcting and grading of examination papers it is quite fortunate that the or ders came at such a late date and after all the semester's quizzes had been given stated the major he estimated that he will have to grade 900 examination papers before the end of the semester four men carry on meanwhile the personnel of the m s & t department besides ma jor green consists of sgt george f gasda sgt major leo m o'brien and sgt fred j mohring sergeant mohring was retired from the army after 30 years ser vice on april 30 he is remaining with the department for the rest of the semester to assist in the check ing in of uniforms and equipment major green became head of the military department at the begin ning of the college year upon the transfer of col m h thomlin son the former head to another post the major had been teaching here for a year when he was ele vated in rank and given his new po sition captain tow took over major green's former duties at the begin ning of the year the other three officers have been at lehigh for several years scholarship for purely athletic ability against my principles new director states at meet to make no dractic changes before end of coming year colonel plans football sched ule which is going to en able lehigh regain position by john a gilmore scholarships for no other reason than athletic ability are entirely against my principles stated col nelson a kellogg director of ath letics in an informal discussion conducted thursday night at the arcadia meeting the new director of athletics be lieves that scholarships should be given but however they should require scholastic rating as well as athletic he recommends a system whereby a pure scholarship for academic rating be given but he also thinks another scholarship similar to the rhodes scholarship should be awarded the director also made known that the students would be consid ered first alumni second and the public last in the athletic policy he would adopt in stating this the colonel expressed his anticipation regarding the dislike of this policy by members of the alumni associa tion but he maintained that this was the only fair policy few changes to be made he did not commit himself on any definite points regarding changes in the present system but made it clear that he would make no drastic changes before the end of next year he said he ought to have a year in which to become completely sure of what changes must be made in discussing points which would receive his attention immediately kellogg expressed his desire to se cure a football schedule which would be suited to lehigh's needs in considering this he will attempt to schedule teams which will enable lehigh to regain the status it for merly occupied it is the contention of colonel kellogg that lehigh has developed a losing complex and that this can be cured by careful selection of the teams to be played throughout his talk the director stressed the fact that one man can not change the situation as it exists at lehigh.*the student body must cooperate and through this cooper ation attempt to bring more of the men to lehigh which are necessary for winning teams he does not however wish athletics to be over stressed there are times and places for everything and the main thing at a university is acquiring a de gree stresses activities it is not the contention of the colonel that a degree is everything though he thinks that«an activity man with a c average is better than a non-activity man with a b aver age in answering to a question from martin m reed retiring president of arcadia concerning the eligibil ity committee colonel kellogg stated that as far as he was con cerned this committee existed only to pass on the eligibility of the members of the different squads he did not mean by this that he would not consult different men around the campus in order to en large his knowledge of the situa tion as it is at present when questioned whether any of the present coaches would be dis missed he answered that at present he would take no action he made it clear however that if he dis covered any incompetent men on the coaching staff he would feel that he was acting in his line of duty to remove them from office in this respect he has a free hand as an administrative head bethlehem pa friday
