BACTERIOLOGIST Dr. John Zeig Speaks on the Efficient Use of Disinfectants, Illustrating His Explanations With Chemical and Biological Tests. On Tuesday morning al 10:30 o’clock the College of Pharmacy and members of the Alchemist club were addressed in a special lecture by Dr. John Zeig of the Bacteriological Department of Parke, Davis and Company. Dr. Zeig showed very clearly the proper and most efficient use of the three different classes of disinfectants and illustrated many of his explanations by chemical and biological tests. The speaker gave considerable new light on his subject from a scientific point of view. He spoke at the invitation of Dr. Laird Stabler, dean of the College of Pharmacy. This address is the second given by Dr. Zeig at the local college this year, his first being an illustrated lecture on the use of serums. Members of the Pharmacy sturent body are planning a picnic to be held next week. One of the beaches will probably be selected as a location. It is not thought that Catalina will be the spot chosen, as the last “Pharmic” picnic held there was not given a cordial reception by “Ole Father Neptune.” under the direction of Faye Hughes, who was the leading lady in last year’s junior play, and who is at present a senior in the College of Oratory. Miss Hughes is being assisted by Mar-gart Edwards, also a senior in the same department. The play is open to the general public and all who wish to attend may secure tickets from any member of the cast. SENIORS FEEE FROM CAMPOS FOR A DAY Juniors Anticipate Move of Older Class and Print Own Circulars Funeral Staged for Departed Ones; Members of Lower Classes Display Much Grief Yesterday was Sneak Day. Of course everybody was surprised to find the seniors missing. That is, everybody except the junior class and about half the underclassmen. In order to make sure that their absence would not pass unnoticed, the class of 1917 had printed a large number of handbills ornamented with a lovely little drawing by W. B. Geissinger. Thc text of the bill showed that a master mind had spent considerable time and worry in attempting to express to the world the might and power of the senior class. Not to be outdone by their older rivals, the juniors also littered the halls with cheap literature. The junior bills did not exhibit the same care and trouble that was evident in the work of the seniors, but appeared rather to have been the result of a sudden discovery of the seniors’ intentions and a subsequent hasty composition of words. The worst feature of the bills was the fact that they were signed "JUNIOURS,” in big letters, just like that. It seems a pity that a class wliich has been organized since the University opened in September should not be able to spell its own name. Such an error cannot help but have a bad influence on the frosh and sophs, and the juniors (get that spelling) should feel duly ashamed of themselves. At 11:40 the class of 1918 staged an annex to the Junior Circus in the form of a funeral service for the departed souls of the older class. Harold Brewster did the preaching in a manner which brought tears to the eyes of the assembled mourners and called forth many heartrending cries of grief. On the strength of yesterday’s work, “Tony” should be able to get a job as a minister, should he ever run out of work. (Ministers don’t work, of course.) Sad music was rendered by a quar- (Continued on Page 4) DR. CHESTER BOWERS TO START RED CROSS TRAINING CLASSES First Class Will Be Held This Afternoon at 4:00—Regular Red Cross Book Will Be Followed—Open to All. The first session of the University Red Cross training class will be held this afternoon at 4 o’clock, in the biology lecture-room. Dr. Chester Bowers has consented to take charge of the course, and will give lectures every Thursday at that hour. The regular Red Cross book, endorsed by the national organization, will be followed, and those w! j take the course may be examined for the regular certificate as Red Cross aid. This places the University course upon a higher plane than the many other training classes which lately have started up throughout the city, as they are merely popular classes in first-aid work and lead to no diploma. Dr. Bowers is an U. S. C. alumnus and a prominent local physician. Persons not registered as students will be admitted to the course. Indications are that the lecture will be crowded. MILITARY DRILL FOR ALL U. S. C. MEN WILL BE HELD TODAY ON BOVARD FIELD There will be military drill for all men students oti Bovard field this afternoon at 4 o’clock. Two hundred and fifty men turned out for the first drill, which took place Monday afternoon, and it is thought that a much larger number will avail themselves today of the opportunity to learn the elements of drill and military formations. Definite information as to whether military training is to supplant the gymnasium work is not forthcoming at this time. The matter of supplying guns and uniforms, and the very important question of whether or not drilling is to be compulsory, are held up pending the appointment o fa government officer. I he exarr ..iations, theoretical and practical, or commissioned officers will be neld at 1:15 tomorrow afternoon in the gymnasium. Only experienced men are to take them.
