UNIT IS PROMISING
SAYS COL. ARMISTED
New Commandant Declares Sooner
R. O. T. C. Should Be Best
In All the Southwest.
GLEE CLUB WILL
GIVE CONCERT
First Appearance Of Girls' Glee Club
Wednesday Night In New
Auditorium.
Oklahoma looks good for the de-
velopment of one of the best R. O.
'F. C. units in this section of the
country and should men of the uni-
versity keep up the standard of work
that has been started here, artillery
and signal corps branches will be
doubtless added bfore next fall, ac-
cording to an opinion given out yes-
terday by Col. F. Armisted, new R.
O. <T. C. commandant.
Colonel Armisted took charge of
the unit here Saturday and after look
irag over the university Monday said
he considered the school in much
ketter form for the organization of a
good unit than many of the older
schools.
Since returning from overseas, Col-
enel Arimisted has been connected
with the R. O. T. C. unit of the Uni-
versity of Arkansas and has also in-
spected the training at the University
of Pennsylvania.
"I am well pleased with the out-
l«ok at Oklahoma", the new com-
mandant told a representative of the
Oklahoma Daily Monday. "I think
I understand the military situation
lure and am in full sympathy with
men of the university who are tired
• f iron military life. It will be our
policy to maintain absolute discipline
•n the drill field and encourage all
the fun university affords men
when they are out of formation,"
Coloner Armisted said.
"R. O. T. C. is in no way like S.
A. T. C.," the colonel continued. "It
is merely a by-product of the old
order and it seems to me that the
argument for continuing the work
this year is unanswerable.
The university requires two years
of mliitary trainnig for graduation
and the R. O. T. C. offers an op-
portunity for men to fill this incon-
nection with their regular paid service
after two years and also a commission
on the completion of the course".
The Girls' Glee club of the univer-
sity makes its first appearance in
Norman tomorrow night when a re-
cital will be given in the new audi-
torium under the direction of Miss
Alberta Bragg, assisted by Miss
Helen Barrett.
Manager Freiburger states that
tickets arc on sale today at the
treasurers office and can also be se-
cured from any member of the club.

Baseball Championship Scries To
Last Until June 3; Eight Teams
Entered
CENTRAL COMES
FOR TWO GAMES
Sooners To Play Edmond Friday
and Saturday In First Baseball
Game of Season.
CROASDALE HERE
FOR SOCIAL WORK
Noted Woman Speaker Will Ad-
dress University Girls' On Social
Relationship.
More than five hundred girls
waited in the library chapel Monday
afternoon to hear Dr. Caroline Croas-
<lale, but because of a mistake in the
date made by the New York City of-
fice Dr. Croasdale did not arrive until
6:30 yesterday afternoon. She will
give her lirst address Tuesday af-
ternoon at -1 o'clock when even a
larger audience is expected.
"My first lecture lasts only forty
minutes," said Dr. Croasdale. It
is introductory in nature and makes
the others a great deal more inter-
esting yet each lecture is complete
within itself. The second is on the
physical; the third on the psycholo-
gical and the last socioligiclo."
The University of Oklahoma is the
second place Dr. Croasdale has
visited in Oklahoma. She has just
finished a lecture series at the North-
eastern state normal at Ada.
A musical number will precede the
talk in the old chapel this afternoon.
The Sooner nine will be seen in
action for the first time this season
next Friday and Caturday when the
Central Normalites come to Norman
for two games with Bennie's men.
The games will be called both days
at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon.
The line-up Owen will send against
Wantland's men has not been an-
nounced as yet and probably will not
be known until the afternoon of the
game. Meadows probably will be
on the mound for the Sooners with
Gentry receiving. Fears Little and
Couch, all letter men of last year
will doubtless be given a chance
but the remainder of the squad is
merely problematical and practice this
week may change the status of many
of the candidates.
Manager Gentry is out of the game
for a few days with a wrenched knee,
caused by sliding into a base. Doc-
tors assured him that he will be in
shape for the contests this week.
S. A. T. C. MEN TO GET BOOKS
Final calls have been issued for
former members of the S. A. I. C.
to report to Prof. William ti.
Schmidt to room 218 Holmberg hall
for free copies of the United States
army song book. Prof. Schmidt will
distribute these books at four o'clock
this afternoon.
Kappa Alpha will meet Kappa
Sigma on Boyd field at 5 o'clock this
afternoon for the first baseball game
in the interfraterriity series that will
last until June 3, according to a
schedule worked out yesterday by
Glenn Meadows, series manager.
Seven fraternity teams are listed for
the battle over the pennant this year.
Following is the schedule for the
series:

Credit Taken From
Student For Cheating
Students Found Guilty of Cribbing
In Finals Will Be Expelled,
Koch Says.
One student, accused of cheating
in a quiz during the latter part of the
first term, was found guilty and de-
prived of credit in the course as a
result of a trial conducted by the
student council last week.
The minimum punishment was in
flicted because of the fact that the
"cribbing" was done before the fnal
examinations, but President Joe
Koch, of the student council, has an-
nounced that any student, found
guilty of cheating during the ex-
aminations will he expelled from
school, since both D. D. M. C. and
the student council had given warn-
ing of the results to be expected if
any were caught.
Last Call Is Issued
For Sooner Pictures
Bids For Photographs For Victory
Book Close Today, Says Editor;
Military Section Started
Tod y i-> the last day pictures can
be taken for the 1919 year book, ac-
cording to word sent out from \ ic-
tory Sooner headquarters Monday
All individual pictures have been tak-
en, and there remain only a few
groups to be secured.
From now on most of the work will
be concentrated on the military sec-
tion of the book which will be made
up of photographs of men who died
in service, those decorated, cited oi
wounded, and the military record ol
every graduate and former student of
the university.
A campaign is now under way to
secure kodak pictures of men in ser-
vice, and everyone who has a mili-
tary snap-shot is asked to lend it to
the Victory Sooner. These should be
given to staff members or turned in
at the Victory Sooner office, room
304 Holmberg Hall.
NEW COURSES OFFERED
Two new courses, food products
and home administration, will be ad-
ded to the domestic science schedule
this quarter, according to notices
just issued by Mrs. Harriet Minton,
in charge of the department. An in-
creased membership in all domestic
science classes is expected.
No matter row long a man owns
a fliver he never gets through demon
strating it.
As a result of recent action by tin-
Oklahoma Intercollegiate Athletic
association the state intercollegiate
track and field meet will be held on
Boyd field, Coach Soutar announced
Saturday. The date for the meet is
May 17. All colleges and universitity
in Oklahoma represented in the asso-
ciation will be entitled to participa-
tion.
The first meet of the season will
be held here April 28 when the Ag-
gies are met in a dual contest. Coach
Soutar will start detailed practice this
week in preparation to choosing the
men who will represent the Sooners
in this contest.
With the exception of the hurdle
events and the high jump, Soutar is
confident as to the ability of the as-
pirants. In the above mentioned
events both Staggs and Terry of last
year's team are not available and the
coach must develop some man to
take part. In the high jump Sharpe,
the pole vaulter, has had -ome ex-
perience but w not up the cla^- that
should be shown by a Varsity man.
