Faculty Makes Change in Program for Work of Graduate Students
Number of Hours Required for Master of Arts Degree Is. Variable
Two changes were made in the regulations in the Graduate School at a faculty meeting Tuesday. The first is in regard to the amount of work required for a degree of Master of Arts at the University to work required both in the Graduate School and School of Medicine.
Present requirements for the degree, which are 30 hours of graduate work as a minimum, were changed to a variable program between 24 to 30 hour periods of number of hours to be completed by one student is to be determined by the major department, and approved by the dean of the Graduate School, and depends on the student's previous preparation and the ability. The number of hours required will be less when the courses taken are largely open to graduates only. This plan is proposed for the purpose of giving the students more opportunity for reading and investigation on their own initiative.
"It is the feeling of the faculty that students who have reached the Graduate School ought to have more opportunity for study at his own pleasure and have less formal course work," said Dean E. B. Stouffer, dean of the Graduate School, in discussing the new regulations.
The general examination now required of all candidates for the degree at the end of the period of study gives the opportunity to determine whether the candidate is outside of the courses he has taken, according to Dean Stoffer.
The second change in regulations applies to work required both in the Graduate School and the School of Medicine. A student can accept graduate courses, but must be a part of the required medical curriculum only on his minor department; that is, graduate credit will not be given for courses in his major department if the courses are required of the regular medical curriculum.
These changes in the regulations in the Graduate School will go into of feet Sept. 1, 1926.

Plans Formulated for County Clubs During Assembly
Students Organize Groups to Further University Work in Home Districts
More than one hundred club cities representing the various counties throughout the state of Kansas, as well as all states in other parts of the country, were organized by University of Kansas students during the convocation hour this morning. Meetings of the different representations were held in practical settings in buildings across the state this morning.
Although the majority of these county clubs have had organizations at the University for the past few years, none were principally for the purpose of reorganizing, electing officers and committees, and to plan and outline the work of the club for their respective counties during the remainder of the year.
Claude outside of the state of Kansas were organized this morning by students from St. Joseph, Mo., Colorado, Nebraska, and several other nearby states. Several Kansas City clubs have also hosted such clubs at the University also.
Nearby States Organize
The outstanding purpose of these clubs is to organize in an effort to further the work of the University in their home counties. All of the students must be appointed to purchase pictures of the airplane view of the K. U. campus to be placed in the accredited high schools in their counties. Special assessments for the members were made in order to purify the school's image and be ready for delivery after Dec. 14.
Publicity Plan Announced
Most of the county representations also planned in their meetings to carry out a publicity plan in order that the work of their club here may be carried to their home newspapers. The officers elected were as follows;
Names of officers are listed in the following order, president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer, preceded in each case by the name of the county.

Dietetics Class Grades 371 Trays Today at University Commons
Program Is in Accordance With Vitamin Day for Better Health Week
A total of 371 trays were graded at the University Commons this noon by members of dietetics class of the department of home economics, in accordance with the vitamin day program for better health week. Of the 371 trays scored, 138 were for the men and 233 for the women.
The results of the grading are as follows: Mei: A-38, B-43, C-48,
D-11, and F-8; women: A-51,
R-69, C-68, D-5, and F-10.
The trays were graduated by the dietetics class of the department of home economies, under the supervision of Miss Viola Anderson. They were prepared according to food value as estimated through the quantity of carbohydrate and fat, protein, mineral, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, and the bulk water. The trays were required to know the condition of each food served.
"We were very glad to co-operate with W. A. A. in sponsoring vitamin day and act in an advisory capacity," said Miss Elizabeth Sprague. "Miss Anderson gave time and thought to arranging the workshops in their vocational class. It requires considerable technical knowledge to do the thing correctly."

Figures for 1927 Budget Submitted in Annual Report
Is Shown
Coolidge Summarizes 1923
Expenditures Before
Congress; Surplus
Is Shown
(United Press)
Washington, Dec. 9—The national budget for the fiscal year of 1927, transmitted to congress today by President Coolidge, estimated total revenues of $3,842,530,260, total expenses of $8,494,126,308,44 and a probable surplus of $230,367,894,56 for that year.
Revised estimates for the current fiscal year placed total revenues at $3,889,716,342, total expenditures at $3,859,715,858, and the probable surplus June 30 next at #292,041,765. a decrease in estimated by the President for that date a year ago, due to increased expenditures.
Counselling continued effort for economy, the president, in a message accompanying the document, said it had borne fruit, but added, "We have about reached the time when the legitimate business of government cannot be carried on at a less expenditure rate." The president, in regard to our legitimate business, the operating costs have been reduced to nearly a minimum."
The message was notable for more comprehensive expression of the President's sentiments toward aircraft, prohibition, and government building than he made in his annual message to congress yesterday.
"This government is pursuing an orderly policy toward building up its infrastructure and large appropriations for new aircraft construction. "If we continue this policy, there need be no fear of our nation's airspace in as far as it is concerned."
"Every available resource of the government will be employed for prohibition enforcement," he warned, announcing his intention to propose a great expansion of the Coast Guard. It is needed. It shall be provided."
"The actual conditions that face some of the government's most important activities because of lack of sufficiency and suitable working space are almost incomblex. he said, money for new building construction.
The president wrote at length on the virtues of further economizing, bearing the home to Congress that by tax reduction the benefits of governmental frugality were being communicated to be people.
"The Ways and Means Committee has been informed of our prospective surplus for 1927. That committee has been advised that the measure will. While this measure somewhat exceeds my judgment in amount and in exemptions, yet with continuing pressure for economy in the federal service we have agreed to reduce it, will result from tax reduction, perhaps we can make further reduction in taxes of about the sum total of our prospective surplus for 1927, without jeopardizing the balance of our annual budget.

High Prices Encourage Farmers to Increase Acreage Next Year
Wheat Shortage May Place U. S. on Import Basis for Next Year
(United Press)
Washington, Dec. 8.—In the secretary of agriculture's report to the president on Nov. 14, the most significant fact about the wheat situation is that with a large crop the United States apparently has little more than enough wheat to meet domestic requirements. The wheat crop of the northern China, is estimated to be 11 per cent greater than the 1924 crop.
The shortage in supplies of several classes of wheat may place the United States on an import basis at least for a greater part of the year. The price of wheat is dependent on world markets to permit exports on the basis of these prices. The prices of wheat for December delivery in Chicago, Minnesota, and Kansas City are nearly on a par with the prices of wheat nationally considerably higher than in Winnipeg.
Canada is the nearest source of imports. Both the futures and cash price series are now considerably below prices in Chicago and Minneapolis. A small quantity of wheat has been imported to encourage heavy imports.
Higher prices have encouraged farmers to increase their wheat acreage for next year. The trend of production in many countries that compete with the United States is up sharply, according to a approaching pre-war status. The wheat producing areas of Argentina, Russia, Australia, and Canada are now $3 per cent above pre-warm average and have not reached their limit

Student Meeting on World Court Will Open Friday
Floyd Simonton, Delegate
From K. U., Is on Way
to Conference
in East
The Student World Court Conference will open at Princeton, N. J., Friday and continue Saturday this week. Fledgling Simonton, c28, left the room for the convention to act as representative of the University of Kan-
"I have been trying to find out from as many organizations and from as many people as possible, their feeling on the World Court, to try to find there, as truly as I can, the attitude of the campus to the World Court," said Simoton this morning. Simoton said that part of the work of the conference is going to find out what he opinion throughout the nation in regard to the World Court, so that that opinion, probably by means of a resolution and a delegate, can be sent to President Coolidge.
"The discussion will probably be divided into two parts," said Simonton, "part of which will consider the World Court and international relations problem." But the American student problem. For this section, there will be speakers of national importance. The second part of the work will be to consider ways and means of informing and arousing interest of the American student body in world affairs.
Simonton will not return to school until after the holidays, as he intends to go to New York and Washington before returning.
Health Values Discussed
Instructors Address Students at Vesper Services

Her final definition was, "Health is that quality which renders a person able to live most and serve best." Miss Cliff then introduced Dr. James Nailsonis, of the department of men's physical education.
Doctor Nasmith began by giving his definition of health which was, "health in the normal performance of life," and went on to say that "the conflict of the physical and spiritual begin with the idea that the soul in the body was always trying to reach up to God and experiencing acting as a weight lifting it down.
"People used to think that the body was bad and should be punished, they used to torture themselves to please God they thought. The man who made them suffer would be considered the most highly. But we use a unity and not a duality."
