LIEUT. LUTHER FELKER TELLS OF HIS PLANS FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO
"My ambition is to have the University of Idaho designated one of the distinguished schools by the war department. I believe that this is possible because of the thorough work done by predecessors."
In this brief statement, Lieut. Luther Felker outlined in a general way the possibilities open to the boys who take military training at the university this year. Lieutenant Felker arrived with his wife and three children a few days ago to make Moscow his permanent home. He is enthusiastic over the outlook for the school and likes Moscow immensely.
Plans for Big Things
"I find," Lieut. Felker said; "that Captain Cummings and those associated with him did exceptionally good work at the university. I am now getting in touch with conditions as rapidly as I can. I find that the University of Idaho has been made a senior division of the reserve officers' training corps. This will have an important bearing on military activities.
"Military training is compulsory for freshmen and sophomores, but not so with juniors and seniors. But with the training corps established, the juniors and seniors will be paid $7.50 a month and be given uniforms if they continue in training. This will induce many of them to remain and the result will be that we will have well-trained men for officers. It means a much larger attendance also.
