Some S.A.T.C. Men Think There Is Not Much To Live For Now
Why Should We Spend Our Time Learning The Many Reasons “Why We Are At War” When It Is All Over?---------- Such are the Worries of the Men In Khaki.
   Some instructors say the S.A.T.C. boys are students, and there are others,---------------
   From talking to instructors on the question, the consensus of opinion seems to be that the boys have studied consistently and zealously. The past tense is used in the above statement with a purpose, for since officers’ training has been abandoned, says an English teacher, they have slackened their efforts, and now are engaged in the occupation of putting in time.
   Numbers of boys are here who were in business and who saw in the S.A.T.C. an opportunity to go to officers’ training camps, says [nother] informant. Before the signing of the armistice they worked conscientiously and prepared their work in a way beautiful to behold. But now that officers’ training camps are, like the war, a thing of the past, all their interest in school has fled. They were not interested in school for school’s sake but in school for shoulder bars’ sake, says Mr. -----------.
   From a woman history instructor comes the other equally plausible side. She says that many boys are having college training who otherwise would never have been inside a college class-room. And these boys, armistice or no armistice, are appreciating their opportunity to the fullest, and are getting all there is in school experience. They are disappointed to have missed the fighting, she adds, but their disappointment is not preventing them from doing conscientious work.
   “There is no studious spirit among boys in the S.A.T.C.” asserts a liberal arts professor in no uncertain terms. “All they think of is a drill and mess, and academic work is far from their thoughts. They sit through classes with one eye on me for camouflage, and the other on their wrist watches. They haven’t a spark of interest in school; what they want is the army.” But this is an unusual sentiment, very rare among the faculty.
   The work of the S.A.T.C. boys is good by fits and starts, says a language professor. They are really good for a while and then they seem to go to sleep mentally. This periodic brain action seems to vary with the news of demobilization. They study when the news is encouraging and points to early dismissal from the army.
   Finally, a professor gives his opinion that boys in the S.A.T.C. are like boys always are about school work. They average somewhat better, but some study and some don’t, just as boys do whether in uniform or not. In general, they are doing better work this year, just as girls are. They seem to realize the seriousness of the times.

“STUB” BARRON COACH OF WESTERN WINNING TEAM
   Word has been received from Golden, Colo., that the Colorado School of Mines football team, over which a former Hawkeye, “Stub” Barron, is now coach, has won the Rocky Mountain Conference in the western state.
   Barron’s men defeated Denver University 48 to 6, Colorado Springs college 48 to 6, Utah Aggies 25 to 0, and the Fort Logan soldiers 49 to 6. The Westerners will play Omaha on Thanksgiving day.

QUESTIONNAIRE BOARD MOVES
   The headquarters of the questionnaire board have been moved from the University High school to room six, Y.M.C.A. It is imperative that all S.A.T.C. men between the ages of 18 and 37 return their questionnaires within seven days after they have received them. All rumors to the contrary are to be disregarded. 

DANCE THIS AFTERNOON
  A free dance will be given Thanksgiving afternoon from 2 to 5 o’clock at Majestic hall for all S.A.T.C. men and their friends. The dance is given under the auspices of the Daughters of Isabella and the Knights of Columbus. Tickets may be had from F.T. McGill, secretary of the K.C. hall at 115 South Clinton street.

   Dr. Sylvester E. Ellis of the Methodist church gave a lecture at the Y.M.C.A. on Wednesday night. His [subjecta] was “values.”

SOCIETY AND PERSONAL

   L.N. Bowers, pharmacy 1912, died at Fort Stevens, Ore., of influenza recently. Mr. Bowers had been placed in class II, but waived exemption and asked to be placed in immediate service. He entered the heavy artillery at Fort Stevens, Oct. 24, but almost at once contracted influenza.
   Louis F. Tellin of Iowa City has received his commission as an ensign in the U. S. navy. He was graduated from the University last June.
   Ralph C. Puckett, instructor in mechanical engineering has been confined to the hospital for the past few weeks but will return to his classes Monday.

   Prof. Carl E. Seashore left last night for Cambridge, Mass., to attend a meeting of the Association of American Universities. He expects to be gone for several days.
