SAYS NOT MANY ARE ELIGIBLE
ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE FINDS MANY FAILURES.
24 Per Cent Ineligible Among Organization Members—Should Only Be 7, Say Authorities.
The committee on University organizations other than athletic has completed a table of statistics classifying the members of the various student organizations by classes and by schools and showing how the participants rank in their academic work.
The committee points out especially the large number of students who were at first ineligible sixty-six, out of two hundred and seventy, or 24 per cent of the entire number desiring to participate in the various enterprises. The chairman of the committee said: "The rules of eligibility are enforced in other than athletic organizations with the same strictness that they are in athletics, but there is no reason why as large a per cent as is shown by our report should be ineligible. The fact that 42 percent out of the 66 were able to meet the requirements proves that it is not difficult for students who are behind in their work to remove their conditions. The number who were unable to arrange their work to participate in their respective organizations was thirty-eight. This is altogether too many. The number should not be over 7 per cent at the very most. It is to be hoped that the publication of this table will move students who hope to have a place in university organizations to a more earnest effort to keep their work up to the necessary standard."
Following is the table prepared by the committee on organizations:

AFTER MANY YEARS.
All Things Come to Him Who Waits.
University Missourian.
Stowed away in the archives of the registrar's office for seven years has hain a "Beat Kansas" cartoon that has never been used. It was drawn by a student of the University for the Missouri-Kansas game the year after the victory of 1901. But the score in '02 was in favor of Kansas, and no chance to use it.
The cartoon pictures a large tiger strutting triumphantly across the gridiron, carrying in one paw a Missouri banner and in the other a squirming football player held high in the air. Another tiger stands on his head, while several others rejoice in different ways. In the background the cadet band plays and the air is full of caps and umbrellas thrown up by the enthusiastic rooters.
When at last the time has some, the cartoon can not be used. It is drawn in pencil and does not lend itself to newspaper engraving.
Fred Faragher to Chicago.
Fred W. Faragher, who has held the Alden B. Speare industrial fellowship in chemistry for two years, has received a new appointment from the company and will leave for Chicago the first of the week. Mr. Faragher will have work there similar to what he has been doing here, but he will visit the different plants of the company adjusting difficulties instead of doing laboratory work. He expects, however, to do laboratory work later. Mr. Faragher will return to the University next spring to take the examination for his doctor's degree.
German Conference Met
The members of the German conference held their regular bi monthly meeting at the home of Miss Alberta Corbin, 1108 Ohio street, Thursday evening. Professor Engel took charge of the meeting. He spoke on the different German periodicals and Goebel's edition of Faust, which was then discussed by the members. At the close, he gave a reading in the Pennsylvania Dutch Dialect.
There are now eleven members in the German conference, the number of the faculty of the department of German.
The last tea before the holidays for the young ladies will be given next Friday afternoon, December 10, in the Classical Museum.

The basement of the Gymnasium is soon to be converted into a regulation athletic field—almost. Within the next few weeks, a 40-yard cinder path, 10 feet wide, will be laid along the north wall of the men's locker room and handball court, and the sections of steel lockers which stand in the way of this new running track will be removed to the open space in front of the store-room. Also, sand and sawdust "pits" are to be built on the handball court, for use in the shot-put and pole-vault.
Track Men Will Sink Spikes Into Real Cinders in Gym.
These additions to the gymnasium equipment are intuitable for winter track work. More especially, will the sprinters be benefited, for on the new cinder path they can use their regular out-door spikes and thus do away with the great handicap of having to get accustomed to them late next spring, when the weather grows warm enough for work out-of-doors.
