It is incipated, however, that returning terans and others will want a her choice of courses than the us-eight-weeks summer session canance.
Maintenance Item Raised
The general maintenance item of $347,000 annually is long over due, according to University officials responsible for the administration of buildings and grounds repair and upkeep. The annual appropriation for the maintenance and repairs for 1931-32 was $322,500. During the depression that amount was cut to as low as $175,000 a year. Since 1931 four large University buildings and four dormitories have been added to the load for heating, lighting, and upkeep.
An increase of $22,400 and $26,000 or the yearly operating cost of the state Geological Survey was requested for the purpose of adding a chemical division, for putting back on the staff some of the members now on leave for Army service, and or other purposes urgently needed or this state-wide scientific organization for developing the state's mineral resources.

Illinois to Raise Sunflowers
Sunflowers are being raised as regular crops in Illinois as an experiment that promises to introduce a new crop that can be grown almost anywhere, regardless of rainfall and soil conditions. Sunflowers are also expected to produce a vegetable oil that brings a higher price than soybean oil today, and are a very nutritious meal edible for both animals and humans.
The World Student Service fund donations reached $1,011.94 at Louisiana State University.
Sophomores May Have An Opportunity To Originate Own Major Field Next Year
It is possible that next year a sophomore may originate his own major field.
Although the College offers 30 departmental major fields, the committee on curriculum has recommended that additional major opportunities not of the standard type be provided. This will be considered by the faculty at its special meeting Monday afternoon, Dec. 12. (Postponed from Dec. 4.)
"Because of the increasing complexity of modern civilization, new types of occupations and new combinations of occupations are being developed," the report said.
"Both the vocational and cultural desires of some students cut across departmental lines and frequently cross school lines. In such cases, the student should have a major suited to his needs, provided he has a clearly satisfactory objective.
"The war has given many students an awareness of opportunities for life and work in other world areas, and some of them will wish a college major which will prepare them for living and working abroad in the postwar period," the report continued.
The committee recommended that a student be permitted during his sophomore year to apply to the dean of the College for a special major, and if the dean thinks the student has a well thought out plan, he would be authorized to appoint a faculty committee of three to form the details of the student's program which shall be submitted to the administrative committee for its approval.
