NOVA SCOTIA ALPHA, DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY—
Rushing condnues unabated; to date seven men have
been pledged: Robert Musset, WiUiam Harvey. Bob
Wilcox, Cy Kempston, WiUiam Mead, and John ChappeU
of Halifax, and Roderick Black of Amherst,
N.S. Two successful rushing pardes were hdd—the
always enjoyable party at the Saraguay Country Club,
which played so large a part in the success of other
rushing years, and a novd masquerade house party
at HaUoween. Two addidonal Phis have been caUed up
for military service. M. Madeod passed his Inidal
exams in the Royal Canadian Air Force and has been
sdected for advanced training at Trenton, Ontario.
Gordon Kinley left in early November for Wiimipeg,.
there to receive ab inido training for his commission:
in the R.CA.F. War is stiU leaving its mark on the,
activities of the majority of Phis on the campus. The
C.O.T.C.. of which virtuaUy aU the brothers are
members, has increased its acdvldes to the extent
which now necessitates three tughts of the week and
Sunday bdng devoted to trench digging, rifle drill
and practitt, tacdcs. map-reading, organization, and
many other phases of military acdvity. Because of the
dominant part that Halifax will play in this war, as
a prominent sea-base, it has become quite evident
that dme previously devoted to sodal acdvldes wiU
in future—for the duradon—be now devoted to training
of a military nature. It is quite definite at this
writing that as best they can. the members of 4 A 6
on this coast will enter into the spirit of this war
in the manner in which all Canadians fed obligated.
