Seattle, Oct. 25.—Six hundred
men from the University of Wash
ington have gone to war, according
to present estiamte. The list
is not yet compelte and as many
as a hundred more names may be
added to this roll of honor.
Maay of the fraternity? houses
have been closed because so large
number of their members has en
listed. Service flags, some with
as hi,jh as sixteen stars to a flag,
are furled from the houses that
are open; and as the need be
comes more and more urgent, many
more stars will be won by new en
listments.
Tjie branches of service into
which the students liave gone in
clude almost all of both army and
navy.
Campus activities were for the
most Dart without leaders for the
new year and a student body meet
ing y/as called last week to nom
inate new men to fill the vancant
offices. Athletics has experienced
the same loss and the U. of W.
football team this fall is likely to.
be of entirely different caliber from'
that of last.
