Complete reorganization of the courses in American history was authorized by the College faculty at its May meeting yesterday afternoon and several additional courses were approved.

Reduced Hours
The new arrangement reduces from 23 to 15 the number of hours devoted to strictly American history, but there were added two specialized courses, one in the history of agricultural policies in the United States, and the alternating course of history of the Transmissiolliss West after 1892. The latter course covers especially the west of Missouri, the region west of the 60th meridian.
Another new course is historiography, a two-hour course, in the writing of history, and a study of the methods and aims of historians. The course. In this case it is replaced by a new general freshman course called the American people.

Composition Course
Also upon recommendation of the administrative committee, the College faculty authorized the department of English to offer in the college a junior-senior course in advanced composition similar to one now given in the School of Engineering and Architecture. A new course in directed reading courses was created for credit of one semester hour for not to exceed three semesters, for reading not paralleling any other courses, and conducted under direction of a committee of the department of English. Because of the organization of the department of chemical engineering, certain courses in the department of chemistry were approved for professional credit in the College. These are iron and steel analysis, chemistry of million dollars in interior design, and not sewing.
Combine Department
While the departments of Spanish and of romance languages are to be combined next year under the title of romance languages, it was agreed by the College faculty that students might not have a teacher other as a minor, if they desired.
The request of the department of Latin and Greek for certain modifications in course designations was reconsidered in an administrative committee with power to act.
The administrative committee reported that, upon faculty authority, it had approved certain changes in description of courses in the departments of chemistry and physics proved changing the title of principles of argumentation to reasoned writing.

Sergeant Kolkler could not be reached for a statement until late last night, being doubtless pre-occupied with burlishing up his armor for the battle and taking shelter in the afternoon. However, he has previously offered some very searching comments on the purposes of the embittened entreaty to the inmates' bumble growth adverting their chests.
The sergeant, who is still collecting a bonus in view of his bertac tactics as an R.O.T.C. instructor, barely mossed over the trench ahead of August Anneberg, who recently displayed some very comradable order on the field of battle.
He indicated his intent last night, however, of inviting all the veterans over for dinner, where he would feed them hamburgers, "in order to take the wrinkles out of their bellies," as he laciently expressed it.
Maloney Commands
The veterans are forced to deploy sharply for an encounter with the final examinations, but last night they elected Martin Maloney to head their charge next year. Maloney, well-known campus foerster at state, succeeded General George W. Bush in 2006. "Like any old war horse retiring after a vigorous campaign, I don't but shake my heart head and turn from the battle-field, (strenuous with the carcasses & commissary sergeants and ping pong balls) with tear filled eyes. I regret that I had but one eg to give to my fellow officers, chapel by unanimous acclaim, and Kenneth Postdotehwa succeeds Hugh Hadley as Kommandir of the Kaw Kane Korps.
Scott Beams
The veterans were pleased to hear of the approval recently bestowed upon them by Charles F. Scott, editor of the tls register. "Mr. Scott and Sergeant Kollender should work well well together," said Maloney, "and with such good luck, I will succeed in up I have no doubt but what we will soon able to obtain our bonuses."
Colonel John Mahone was authorized to draw one dollar from the war chest to purchase a copy of "Patriotism Pre-Paid," the official organ of the Veterans, written by Lewis Gorin, Jr., the national commander. A substantial sum remains in the treasury, which will be spent for summer camp and defense during the enforced summer truce, and to sound off next year's campaign.
