Education Board Changes College Entrance Ruling
Science
Freshmen Must Have Three Units of English and Two of Social Science
Freshmen entering the University of Kansas must now have three units of English and two of social science in accordance with a recent curriculum, education.
The board, which met last July, decided also that all high school curricula must be divided into six groups. The groups include English, mathematics, foreign language, science, history, and social science, vocational and fine arts.
1. Two majors, three units each. The first major in English, the second major from one of the remaining groups.
Accredited high schools in order to maintain their standing must provide instruction in at least five of these groups. The board further recommends that completion of fifteen units be accorded according to the following plan:
2. Two minors, of two units each.
First minor in social science, (unless social science has been selected as the first minor).
From one of the remaining groups.
3. The remaining five units may be selected from any one or more of the six groups.
4. One half unit, constitution of the United States, prescribed by Federal Statute.
Group System in High School Students may not graduate now without taking courses in at least four of the six groups, but they still possess considerable freedom in the choice of subject matter in that they may select one major, one minor, and five minor not prearranged, according to their needs.
The state prescribes five of the fifteen units required, and to students contemplating entering college these suggestions are offered: "Those who contemplate entering the College of Liberal Arts should have two or three years of foreign language and have plans to enter the school of engineering should have three units of mathematics."
The committee preparing and submitting this plan to the board included Anna Ehlbling and W. S. Heuser, members of the board; Prof. W. H. Koehler, Assistant Vice President; Supt. V. M. Liston, Fort Scott, and Sunt. A. J. Topka, Stoptea.
High school supervisors have been authorized by the board to include the above in their printed bulletins for 1925.
O. G. Brim Gives Lecture "Rural Education" Is Subject of Ohio Man's Talk
O. G. Brim, professor of rural sedication at the Ohio State University spoke yesterday afternoon in Blake hall on the subject "Rural Education"
"Educational leaders must look to the first years of a child's life if he is to have the proper education," said Professor Brisman. He believes that teachers having something done for their betterness, and attributes it to the following reasons: First, and mainly to faulty text books that are out of date, or not in compliance with judge education in terms of what the teacher does, instead of the progress made by the pupil; third, to the fact that state examinations almost prohibit the teacher from teaching in class as will apply to a partier pupil.
Professor Brim estimates that 60 per cent of the money spent for rural education in the states of New York and Ohio, is wasted. However he has great hopes of rural life giving a modern education in the future.

All Belligerent Problems Will Be Considered as They Arise in the Future
No. 52
New York (United States)
New York has returned to guide the council of Europe, and is responsible for the Locarno peace agreement. The statesmen of Great Britain and the continent have decided to attempt no longer to bring about an ideal condition preventing all future war to but to consider belligerent problems as they arise one at a time. The United States and Germany converge from Locarno the gatherer and France the loser.
The most significant fact of the Locarno entente is the return of Germany to somewhat like her former status in the give and take of Europe. The first victory of the Entente was dominated by the Germans; and Europe has now accepted the disquieting fact that the Germans are in the world to stay and to grow in strength as a result of their victory. Locarno her first victory in the series which will lead to her regeneration, for strategically, France has left the right to use German territory as she pleases in the interests of her allies during Germany on the east and south.
The French foreign office, since the ending of the war has sought to unite the allies in support of its demand for a restoration of the military history by the Germans should be considered an act of war against the other powers, France, for her part, should be entitled to invade Germany and to attack Poland or Czechoslovakia.
By the spirit of the Locarno agreement, the frontier between France and Germany is to be considered inviolate. The invasion of Locarno invades France or France invades Germany, across the neutral boundary zone, the other signatories to the Locarno pact bind themselves to support the invasion. Thus has thus found at Locarno an international defense of her Rhine front, holding France back, if any time in the future, Germany becomes engaged in war against Germany can demonstrate a war of defense.

Gridgraph Game Is Big Attraction on This Saturday
Enthusiastic Crowds Have Witnessed Previous Games of Ames and Nebraska
The third gridgraph football game of this season will be held Saturday in Robinson gymnasium at 2 p. m. While the team is fighting the Okaha aggregation, the home fans will be able to watch every play by the players on stage at the east end of the third floor of the gymnasium.
This year attendance has been large, at all the gridgraphs, most of the seats being taken and many students occupying standing room. The usual attendance has been estimated as being from 1,000 to 1,800. These figures are not accurately checked, because of the great number using activity tickets, but the average on the gridgraph, general admission will be 50 cents. The mere presentation of the activity ticket admits, as there is no designated stub for the gridgraph
The University band will not go to Oklahoma with the team this year, but will play at the gymnasium "Mac's" band always has the old fighting spirit and it will keep up the pop of the crowd, along with one of the cheerleaders who do not go to Norman.
This year the gridgraph is open-
ently by students of the University.
Results of each play will be
published on the University's
there they are related to the gymnastium. University Daily Kansan mgo
do the sending and the receiving of
the plays, while the actual working of
it is done by two engineering
students.
The funds secured through the general admission charge are not large enough to pay the operating expenses of a gym, up by the student activity fund. These picture plays of the games are not put on an enterprise to make money, but merely as a convenience for the students who cannot see the team in action.
Seal Not Original One
Registrar Believes Monogram Used for Few Years
The official University of Kansas seal now in use is probably not the one which was originally adopted by the board of regents and which remained in use for a number of years, according to information of George O. Foster, University registrar, this morning.
Indications, said Mr. Foster, are that the original seal was some sort of monogram connected with "Moses and the Burning Bush."
The book of minutes of the board of regents is supposed to yield the information concerning when, if at any time, the change was made.
"It is interesting to note," continued the registrar, "that it is not beyond possibility at all that a monogram of this sort should be used on the seal, since many of the early presidents were extremed religiously inclined."
The book of minutes dates back to 1865 and the entries are made entirely in longhand. It is a stout leather backed old volume.

The "Harpoon" struck terror to the hearts of students and faculty when it was found one morning at a dormitory with dormitories. It dealt in no insultation, but, calling a spade a spade, made open charges, ranging from immorality, drunkenness and doping, parsimony, egotism, and inefficacy.

League of Nations and World Court Forum Subjects
Organization Are Similar
in Some Points, But
Not Same, Says
Dean Arant
"The World Court question is at present resting behind a cloud because of its alleged similarity to the League of Nations," it was explained by H. W, Arant, dean of the School of Law, in a discussion before the forum on international relations Wednesday night in Fraser hall.
"It is true that there are several connection between the World Court and the Languages of Nations," the president said in a suggestion as to why the United States should be unfavorable to the court. "In explaining his statement, Dean Arant discussed four of these connections between the two organi-
Explains Statements
"In the first place, the World Court owes its immediate existence to a provision in the Treaty of Vereallis; secondly, the World Court is supported by funds that are collected from the League of Nations; thirdly, the League of Nations may request an advisory opinion of the world court, rather than proceed to pass a law and then test its validity by bringing it before the court; and fourthly, the judges of the World Court are selected by the tribunal. Who are parties to the agreement under which the arbitration exists?"
According to the speaker, there are two bases upon which the United States may enter the World Court; first that the court shall have jurisdiction over only those disputes which are desired settled, and secondly that the court shall determine jurisdiction in all cases which arise between nations party to the court.
"There is no means of enforcing the decisions of the court, except public opinion," Dean Aran站ed, "but it is in the thought of the nation" willingness will succeed in producing the execution of rulings.
Reservations Outlined
The reservations underlying the proposal of the United States to enter the court, as presented in the Harding-Hughes-Cedgoe plan, were outlined by the speaker as follows. In the case of the United States, we understood that there is no legal relation between the world court and the league; secondly, if the United States is to advocate the world court against the United States, whereby funds to defray the expenses of the court may be raised; thirdly, some arrangements whereby the United States can participate in selecting the judges of the court must be made; fourthly, the world court operates must not be amended without our consent.
"The connections between the court and the league do not prevent the world court from being independent of the league," was the argument advanced by Dean Arnt in answer to a challenge that the world court is the product of an evolutionary process, having as its fundamental aim the intention of arbitrating agreements among nations. Nation, under the present plan, is subject to the court unless it has agreed to withdraw the wishes of such a tribunal."
The next forum to be held will be in the nature of an Armistice Memorial service, in Fraser chapel, Wednesday, Nov. 11, under the auspices of the forum and the student societies of the Lawrence churches.
