LIEUT. MARCH WHITE KILLED IN ACTION
Prominent Alumnus Meets Death While Administering to Wounded
   Lieut. W. March White, ‘13, M.D., was killed in action Nov. 4, according to a letter recently received by his father, W.S. White of Sioux City, from Major C.M. Hulings, of the 312th Infantry of the American army in France.
   White met his death while administering aid to the wounded near the front line [renches], when an enemy shell hit the building he was in, and a piece of shrapnel struck his heart, killing him instantly. He was buried the following day at Les Petites Armoises.
   Lieutenant White received his B.S. degree in 1911 and his M.D. in 1913. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Rho Sigma fraternities. His brother, Howard, attended the University last year.
   He had practice his profession in Sioux [Sity?] until he enlisted last summer. After training at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas, during August, he entrained for overseas, arriving in France in September.
   In paying respect to Lieut. White, Major Huling’s letter in part said, “Although I had known your son for a comparative short time, I believe I knew him better than would be possible through a long acquaintanceship, for men, under the trying situations which had confronted us during the few days prior to your son’s death learn to know each other quickly. I want to say a few words of respect and love we all had for your son, and it was a sad blow to us all when we lost him. However it is some consolation to know that he died while relieving the suffering of others and while performing his duty under particularly trying circumstances.

BASKETBALL TRYOUTS ARE HELD FOR WOMEN
Preliminary Tryouts for Places on Swimming Teams Will Be Held in March
   Formation of women’s basketball, swimming and baseball teams this spring is being fostered by I.W.A.A. as usual. There will be a class team in each of these types of athletics. Basketball, which has an enrollment of fifty freshmen and sophomores, is receiving first attention because it comes first in the season. Jeane Lees, instructor in athletics for women, is giving the aspirants their workouts, and will assist in making a selection for the class teams late in February.
   Preliminary tryouts for places on swimming teams will probably be held in March, preparatory to the final meet to be held the middle of April. Last year the attendance was 180, and it is hoped that an even greater number will be present at this event.
   Plans for baseball teams are necessarily rather vague, since the season is so far in the future, but if indications of spirit materialize, this sport will have as many followers as the others.
   “Anyone who wishes to try out for any of these activities should register at Old Capitol, then go down the hill and get in,” according to Lillian Prentiss, president of I.W.A.A. Members of the women’s athletic association will find in spring athletics splendid opportunities to win honors toward their I’s.

   The regular meeting of the Latin club will be held Wednesday at 7: 30 in room 112 in the liberal arts building. Questions for discussion will be posted on the bulletin boards.

PLANS MADE FOR BIG SUMMER ATTENDANCE
Various Colleges Are Preparing Schedules Similar to Regular Program
   Preparations for the summer session are more extensive this year than heretofore.
   Practically all the colleges in the University will offer courses next summer. The colleges of medicine, dentistry, and law will offer special courses to allow those men who missed school last fall to make up their back work. The schedule has not yet been announced, but it is to follow closely the regular schedule of courses.
   Prof. C.H. Weller, chairman of the summer session committee, said yesterday that the attendance of the summer school has tripled during the last five years. Ten hundred and forty-two students registered for the two terms last summer. Even heavier registration is expected for the coming year.
   The summer session of 1919 will be of eleven weeks duration. The first term, beginning June 16, is to last six weeks, ending July 26. The second term of five weeks will run from July 28 to Aug. 30.
   Attendance at three summer sessions is equivalent to one year of regular school work. This enables a student who completes three of the summer sessions to graduate in three years.
   As a part of the speeding up program, high school graduates may enter the University during the summer session.

WHITBY
   Whitby will meet tonight at 7:30 at Shambaugh’s 210 N. Clinton street. There will be both a business meeting and program.
