Intramural Field Graded
Five - Acre Plot South Of Campus Is Near Completion
Work of grading the bimurrah tract south of Robinson gymnasium financed by $1,200 voted from the student activity fee fund, has been completed and leveling of the field is almost finished. Dr. Forser C. Allen, chairman of the department of physical education, hopes to have the fields sodded in time for use by touch football teams this fall, but at present no funds are available for this work.
The project involved training a tract of five acres to a 1 per cent grade—the grade of either side of a football field. Since the original field shaped to the south, with a 20- foot difference in elevation of the two sides, it was necessary to down eight or nine feet on the edge toward the road, and make a corresponding fill on the south side.
The regressed field, when solved, will accommodate three touch football games simultaneously. The tran is half of the 10 acres obtained under option of the physical education department in 1954 for $12,000, and taken over by the University Endowment Association. The next year title was transferred to the Physical Education corporation, then being organized, and a year ago this and other tracels were sold by the corporation to the state, to be added to the University Campus.
Summerfield Students Hold Annual Meeting
Yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock the Summerfield students met in Frank Strong hull for their annual meeting. A picture was taken of the entire group, and later Olm Templin spoke to the boys. They discussed the social plans for the coming year.
It is customary at this annual meeting for an election to be held. Each class is allowed three representatives and these twelve boys form a committee to transmit all of the business.
Those students elected to serve on the committee are: James Suisse, chairman; Elijah Smith, and William Gilstrap, seniors; Eljah Cole, Ileigh Kujuran, and Mac Yame, junior;桑文珂, David Holmes, and Ernest Kleia, sonnopherce; and Fred Robertson, Fred Eberhardt, and Albert Weiland, freshmen.
Reading Clinic Is Highly Successful In Formation of Good Reading Habits
last year by Dr. Bert A. Nash, pro-
education to, aid University
students in formation of good
reading habit, was 88 percent successful.
Dr. Nash announced Wed-
nesday.
The course, a novel scientific clinic, was highly successful in its work and succeeded in improving the ability of a good percentage of the 121 students who started in the course.
"Much valuable data was obtained from the tests, and this data shows, too, that most of the 121 students who participated gained from the course. By Meh Chah, the course may be roasted next string." be added.
Use of motion pictures was made in recording movements of the subjects' eyes as they read. Other scientific tests were made to measure students' comprehension of material and extent of vocabulary. These, combined with the psychological test and the Minnesota IQ test, were used when they entered the University gave Dr. Nash and his staff necessary information about each student's ability.
Text material on subjects of history, mystery stories, and science was used in practice throughout the course. The Chapman-Cook marked individual progress from the beginning to the end of the work.
The remarkable advance of student T—a freshman who was one of more than 60 persons volunteered to tabulate instruction, was enough

Student T—of course, was a marked exception. Some 14 percent of the original group, either by dropping out or lack of effort failed. In contrast, about 86, 86 percent did show gain by the course and testing.
