After completing high school in
Puerto Rico, she attended com
mercial school and worked in a
bank for a year. She has al

French which she studied two
years and English which she stud
ied four years to her accomplish
ments.
Miss Tristani is enrolled in the
School of Liberal Arts and plans to

To the Editor,
Enclosed in Eleanor's editorial
as of Tuesday, October 8 which I
greatly preferred to yours of the
same date. When it comes to dis
posing of hired help I suggest they
begin with the Butler.
H. E. Dickson
I:3M=Z
My dear Editor:—
I am enclosing a clipping of the
new organization of "I Want To Be
A Captain Troops."
Wanta lay a bet that I won't get
a commission before any of these
youths?
Go easy for here • are my quali
fications:
I'M an old lady past three score
and ten,
An' I'm looking for a job as an
army captain.
In which 'DiVision? Well, now let
me see,
I'll take the captaincy of the gay
- calvary.
I ain't rid a hoss since I don't
know when,
. Anyways, the hoses will be rid
by the men.
My duty's in the shade of an
old walnut tree,
Issuing curt orders to my young
company.
Don't know army orders, but I'll
shout with a flare,
"Yon comes the enemy from I
don't know where!"
"It comes out the ocean," cry
Washington bosses,
"Be gone, ye men! Mount! Ride
those hosses!"
Like the wind - they ride, scat
tered all directions,
Huntin' an enemy, as 'twas our
intentions.
Oh, I'm an old lady past three
score and ten,
An' I'm hankerin' for a job as an
army captain.
Yours truly,
-- Elliotte Roseabuddin.
Editor's Note:—The "I Want to
Be A Captain Troops" is a national
organization dedicated to securing
captain's commissions for young
men of draft age who have had no
previous experience. Kenneth
Baird, a senior student at the
Northwestern 'University law
school and national commander of
the new organization says: "the
purpose of this organization is to
build a better officers' corps, to
safeguard the lives of young men
by awarding commissions in pro
curement divisions where the
dangers of the battlefield can be
averted. The principles of the or
ganization are not democratic. To
be eligible to memkership, one
must be faithful to the precedent
set for us by the illustrious son of
the Third Term Candidate."
