Only Juniors and Senior Failing, to Get Rating Along With Two Other Classes
Midterm semester grades will be given out this year only to freshmen and sophomores and other undergraduate students. A student is required to an announcement from the office of the College today. Grades for freshman and sophomore may be obtained by submitting a transcript to junior and seniors who have low grades will be notified and asked to complete a course for a conference concerning their new. This new system means that no student may get his grade by calling at the office, as has been the case in the past.
Help Where Help's Needed
"We believe that such a change, will mean much saving of time on the part of this office as well as many of the instructors in making up grades for students who have satisfactorily passed their course, son, assistant dean of the College.
Help Where They Need's Help
*Thousands of students have satisfied themselves with the assistance for all of them to come to this office when they probably know already how they are getting along. Our time and energy should not be spent with these students, but with the freshmen and sophomores who are graduated and the juniors and fallingppers who are in danger of falling.*
Mid-semester grades are to be filed in the college office by Wednesday of next week and will be given upon through the new system from Tuesday, Nov. 29 to Wednesday noon, Nov. 28 when the Thanksgiving vacation begins. The sophomore and sophomores are urged to see their advisors between two dates.
No. House Grade Lists
Another specific change is being made this year also. Lates of grades of students in organized houses will not be made out as done beforetoo. "This is not being done because we have a plan to get houses but because we feel that it is a duplication of effort," Mr. Lawson said. "With the new plan there will be no need of sending a灯 to the houses. If we persist in giving the newer students their grades it could connect connections with their neighbors."
"All of this is being done in an effort to cut down the number of students who think out or leave school before the first semester is complete. We have appointed nonprofessional helpers notifying them seven or eight weeks before the semester ends in order to give them time to make up their poor work or get started a little better. We have appointed advisors for these classes and we have held special conferences in the college office with those who are failing, to help them "snap out" of it and finish the work in a satisfactory manner. Grades of students who are failing are monitored within a week after being evaluated at the office.
Many Students Aided
New Fire Truck Tested
The list of the advisers for all the freshmen and soplomores are poster outside the College office.
"We have been able to save many students from flanking by having conferences with them before it is too late, and through them we can get the students who are doing satisfactory work is eliminated, we will have time to concentrate on students who need our time and attention." Mr. Law-
Department Tries Pressur at Hill Intersection

We want to teach our students to think for themselves and to question the theories."

Hoover Cautious in Laying Plans of Administration
To Be "Silent" President
at First; Makes No
Announcement
of Cabinet
Pablo Palo, Calif., Nov. 8, (UP) Herbert Hoover indicated plainly to day that he will feel his way careful in planning his administration in the White House and he will be at the top of the list if "em" president, a was Calvin Coolidge.
At the same time he will bring to the White House a new tone and different atmosphere.
New England figures, familiar in the Covilleage administration, will be supplained by a comopolitan group those ratitmates whom However has drawn about himself in his engineer and relief operations all over the world.
Never break his silence to issue a brief, but pointed, statement upon his election, only to retire again today into a seclusion in his house on Sat. 14th June, when he was to be maintained until he takes the oath of office upon the Capital steps March 1. He announced his proposal to make him president of the university to be chiefly occupied with listening."
By this, he meant that "he will 'hold his car to the ground,' as the saying goes, attempt to sense the feeling and reactions of the people on pressing problems and will 'still listen' likewise, with party acquaintance with those problems."
Says Nothing of Plans
Hover will say nothing about his plans, the personnel of his cabinet or his policies. He was pressed by newspaper papers, or all those matters in the first conference he had with them since he left Washington. Reports of probable cabinet appointees, which were published were called to his attention.
"Any truthful determination in that direction will be announced by me," he said. "Any others will be based on theory rather than fact."
While no announcement has been made of the cabinet, it has been in operation since March 2014. The Coordination cabinet—Secretary of Treasury Melion, Postmaster General New York and Secretary of War Dwight Eisenhower—will be expected to administer, secretary of state, probably will be offered to Dr. Wright Morrow, bureau and present ambassador, Mr.
Senator Borah of Idaho also has been mentioned for this post.

Smith Returns to Albany Governor Undecided on Plans for Future Activities
New York, Nov. 8 - (UP) - Gradated from his 25-year school of politics, Gov. Alfred E. Smith starts teaching at the University. Much takes of that, looking for a job.
One report said Smith would become chairman of a new $850,000 banking corporation of which John Rasko, the Democratic national chairman, will be interested. This report alsoScene the backers of the new bank.
Despite his defeat and the fact that he was passing from public office after 25 years, Smith seemed to reflect on the job he kept by thought of yesterday. He was a greater popular vote for the presidency, and that was Herbert Hoover.
Washington, Nov. 8, (UP) Vice-
President Elect Charles Curtis arrived
at 8:15 a. no. today from Topeka,
and he will be finished his campaign
and voted.
George Getz of Chicago, who once hired Smith in a trucking corporation, said;
The Governor and Mrs. Smith will return this afternoon to Albany where for a few months Smith will continue at the head of the New York state bank, until the friend and successor, Dr. D. Rosewell, is inaugurated.
He told newpaperers he felt much in need of a rent and after disposing of his personal business would take a call to Washington, where were sent to Washington and the Vice-President Elect received some almo­b but those from Kauai friends.
