NEW EXCUSE SYSTEM
ON TRIAL IN COLLEGE
Student Can Be Reinstated in Classes in Shorter
A change has been made in the system of checking up absences in the College, in the hope of eliminating confusion and slowness.
The new method consists of a system of absence cards. On one side of the card is space, for the name of the student, the names of the courses, the time, the date, the dean's signature, and the instructors' initials. On the other is space for the statement of the student's excuse and the signature of some recognized author, such as house-mother or physician.
A letter from the dean's office was sent to each of the members of the College faculty with an enclosed sample of the absence cards. In this communication it was made clear that the card is not to be taken as an official excuse excluding the student. A reply is given. It is used as a means of conveying to the instructor the reasons for the absence of the student.
NEED COPY FOR SOUR OWI
The new system is being tried in the College in the hope that it will save time and confusion in aiding the student in reinstating himself in college. The college must excuse for absence was not available after ten or fourteen days.

Well, West Point doesn't want any more 'practice' games with Kansas," said the cheerler significantly.

ELEVEN ELECTED BY BLACK MASK;
PACHACAMACS WIN EIGHT OFFICES
Winning Party Secures Sophomore and Freshman Class Presidencies; Howard Firebaugh, Opposition Candidate is Choice of Juniors
The outstanding feature of his address was the fact that while psychology tests are valuable, they are not an absolute criterion of mental ability. Various tests have shown that about twenty-five per cent of the students who pass the tests with high grades do unsatisfactory classwork, and the same amount of those who fail the test make goo-grades in their college.
Professor Colvin mentioned two causes for this variation: slowness of thought and difficulty of expression. High grades in psychology tests are often used as a means of encouraging students who are doing unsatisfactory class work. No student at Brown has ever been did not from school, though in many cases the faculty have advised withdrawal.
Professor Colvin's presence here last night was due to the invitation of former Brown University graduates in Lawrence. Before his as dress a dinner was given at the University Club in his honor, by the Brown graduates, who are: Professors George E. Coghill, R.A. Schwegler, Roy Towne, H. C. Tracy; Teacher William Seam, E. N. Manchester; and Rev. Mark Mohler.

JOE BLOOMER HEADS SENIOR CLASS
Faculty Will Give First Reception of the Year
Both Parties Come Out in the Open in Fall Elections;
Vote is Light in Every Class But the Senior;
· Freshman Offices Black Mask
Honors were about evenly divided in the class elections yesterday with Black Mask electing eleven of its candidates and Pachaamac placing eight of its men in office. Black Mask had a slight edge, however, in that three out of four of the class presidents elected were Black Mask candidates, including the senior presidency to which office Joe Bloomer was elected.
intelligence Tests Are Valuable But Not Absolute Criterion of Mental Ability
The major point of interest in the class elections this fall was the fact that both parties. Black Mask and Pachacamac, openly backed a full ticket in each class, stating that it was the Black Mask or Pachacamac ticket, as the case might be. In former years the two parties have always entered candidates but never before under the party name, concealing the party identity by a class slogan.

El Atenco, Spanish club, held an initiation picnic Wednesday evening. About forty people were conveyed in a truck to Smith's grove where the picnic was held. A blind-folded boxing match for the initiation of the new members, and the burlesque by the older students of the "peculiar" class offered different classes caused much merriment, and combined with "hot dogs," marshmallows, and other suitable foodstuffs evinced a real picnic.
The senior presidency, probably the most desirable office of the election, went to Joe Bloomer, who headed the Black Mask ticket. Marian MacDonald and Milton Cummings were elected to the offices of secretary and only successful Pachaeam candidate in the senior class was P. K. Smith who won in the race for vice president. Marion Collins by twenty votes.
The only class president which Black Mask lost was the junior president, Howard Firchau winning over "Davy" Davidson. The other desirable offices which Pachacamac won were the Junior Prom managers, Harry Janieke and Chester Shore being elected, and Soph Hop manager, Lionel Senon falling heir to this position.
Norton Heads Sophomores

Black Mask candidates won the other two class presidencies, Eunerson Norton being elected at the head of the sophomore class and Wilmer Dresser leading the freshman class.
