Some of the psychological experiments touched upon by Doctor Wheeler and Doctor Reesow were of general interest. Research work or sleep conducted by Prof. G. M. H. Johnson consisted of balancing a bed on a sharp edge to assertion the amount of light needed in determining what kind of a mattress produces the quietest sleep were also reported on.
Experiments of Prof. CERr Griffith, of the University of Illinois, revealed that the amazing skill of "Heal" told us to know instantly what to do.

Brandt Explains Stand on Ruling Regarding Flunks
Special Consideration Giver Several Types of Cases; Little Mercy to Loafers
"We wish that every student who is compelled to leave school because of failure in 40 per cent or more of his work, would feel free to come to my office with his case," said Dem J. G. Branard, Dean of the College. "We should be continuing our effort to be difficult for first year students to understand this rule which often seems so draastic to them. We should like them to know that the rule is not enforced as a disciplinary measure, but that such a measure is necessary in order to maintain a certain standard for the University as a whole. Students should handle all cases as rapidly and efficiently as possible."
"There are times," said Dean Brands, "when I am of the opinion that we are too severe on first year courses. You have to let them utterly strange and foreign to many of them, I feel that a half year is hardly a sufficient length of time or them to get settled into their new life. I believe it is important which the standard of the University must require. The problem has by no means been solved, but I do believe that it will gradually grow into a serious challenge to continue our efforts in that direction."
No Fixed Reinstatement Rule
No Fixed Reimstatement Rule
There is no fixed rule for reimst-
mentation, and each student who is rei-
mstentated, much more than one other, must action. However, there are several types of students whose cases are given special attention.
The first type is the student who has been compelled to miss a great number of his classes through a disability of some kind. There are cases of students with poor eyes who have been compelled to drop part of their work on that account. Students should be attended before the student would not be reinstated.
"The student who works his way through the University is perhaps entitled to extra consideration," said Dean Brandt. "We feel that in the majority of cases when a student desires to attend the University to the degree required, through that there must be exceptional causes for his failure."
Another type considered for re-instatement, is the mature man or woman who has been working for several years, in some instances, many years. Students of a university to complete their work for a degree, or to enter one of the professional schools. It is difficult for these students to get back to the routines of student life, and consequently, fail more often the result of their efforts.
Loafers Get Little Sympathy
"What we do not care to consider," said Dean Brandt, "are the cases of loafers and those who have come to the University purely for the sake of acquiring a social position. If it were possible, we would eliminate every one of them. But we want to to the student body as a whole. Those who come to the university, should come to acquire something that could not be acquired in their own community. They are an expense which the university should not be spent upon to bear."
"So we wish to urges any student who thinks he is entitled to reimstartment to come with his case to the court. If he fails, we will incur its such attention, will be brought before the reimstartment committee for consideration. It is always our desire to do what is right, and we like to ask when we have made a mistake."
Thirteen reintreatments have been made to date. There will be a meeting of the reintreatment committee this afternoon to consider further
