It seems to us that the real College_Parade this week was right across our own campus. Most of the colleges in this \icinity were represented, and some that are not so close. Mundelein and Rosary naturally threw in a heavy contin­ gent, and there were representatives from Michigan, Vandei*- bilt, AVashington of St. Louis, and Nazareth of Rochester. As was expected, however, the greatest contributor of dancing partners (outside of the South Bend College of Commerce) was SMC. Even the St. Mary's girls agreed that the whole week-end was a terrific success. . . . Hats off to the chairmen and their committees. Here's to more and better social ac­ tivities.

Navy Athletic Dept. to Lose Four Specialists Since the outbreak of the war and since the time that the NROTC, V-12, and V-5 units have been founded at Notre Dame, there have been a group of men appointed to supervise the athletic pursuits of the naval trainees. This group of men are lovingly referred to as specialist's A's. Contrary to all popular beliefs the A does not stand for "abject," "achievement," or "animal" but it stands for athletic.
