Much adverse criticism has greeted the decision of the New Haven Election Board that Yale students cannot vote in today's election. The Board maintained that the students were not permanent residents of the city and therefore were not qualified to register as voters. The Republican partisans are particularly disappointed since the straw ballot taken at Yale resulted in an overwhelming victory for Hughes.

The Eli Student body is interested also by the question of dormitory facilities. The Alumni Weekly again calls attention editorially to the lack of dormitory accommodation both the college and in the Scientific School. By assigning to the freshmen the Vanderbit dormitories, a step has been taken this year which is highly commended. But because of inadequate housing facilities, 43 college seniors, five juniors, 37 sophomores and 12 freshmen are not living in dormitories with their classmates.

New Course Meets With Approval.

If the 500 mark is reached the United States government will send two non-commissioned officers to the university to assist the major now in charge in forming a battalion. The course as outlined, will begin about the middle of November. The drills will be held outside whenever the weather permits. During inclement and cold weather the nearly armory will be used. The first two years of the course will be given towards the work required for reserve officers. The course requires for reserve officers. The course requires two hours a week of drill and rifle range work, and one hour a week in theory, military organization, map-reading, general military policy, infantry drill and camp sanitation.

In connection with this military spirit displayed at Penn it is learned that 100 Stanford University men, undergraduates for the most part, volunteered last week for service in France with the American Ambulance Corps. Expenses are to be paid by a group of wealthy San Franciso men. The terms of service will be six months or more.
