College Office to Adopt New Way of Recording Grades
Record of Every Studen Will Be Filed on Cards Filled in by Instructor
A new card system for the recording of mid-season grades has been adopted by the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences. These cards will be filled in by instructors for each student in their classes, and should be returned to the College office by Nov. 5, according to Dean J. G. Brandt.
The new card contains lines for the student's name, the subject, absences, and a generous space wherein the instructor can write remarks. On the right end of the card, the instructor will check the student's standing. In this column are the following: Satisfactory, passing but unsatisfactory, slightly below passing, seriously below passing, incomplete, withdrawn without leave, prior training inadequate, lack of experience, poor posture, and inattentive.
Dean Brandt said this morning that at mid-semester the important thing was to discover the student whose work is falling behind, and to teach them how to find out and the course to be followed in order to bring his work back up to passing. "From these cards we prepare the reports which are sent to parents, and the new cards we send to teachers; they contain more information than mere grades."
"It is by far more important to be able to tell a slumping student that he needs to review some of his preparatory studies, than it is to be able to tell a passing student that he is making a great progress," she taught us that this system of checking up on students at mid-seminar is a real benefit.
"Many students who have been doing very poor work at mid-semester, have been enabled to help themselves out of the slump and pass the course at the end of the semester with credible grades. Often parents come into our office to find a report indicating inadequate work of students, and they naturally wish to know exactly what is wrong with the student.
"The new cards will place at immediate hand that information, and any other special information which the instruction asks for. The cards are also used as the basis from which we prepare grade lists of fraternity and security members, which are furnished to those organizations which care to give them."
Earthquake Takes Toll
FOUR PAGES
"Organizations which wish to have the mid-semester standings of their members should send to my office an ason as possible for copies of the blank which they must fill out for that purpose."
"We have had two different colored cards prepared. The freshman grades will be placed on green cards, and grades for upper classmen will be turned in on white cards. The freshman grades will be compiled in our office first, and it usages the same distribution after the freshman grades are out grades for other classes will be compiled and sent out.

Votes Will Determine Formality and Place of Annual Law Scrim
Football Squad to Be Guests of Attorneyeats at Party December 4
"Any student interested in the Law Serim may vote on the questions, of whether the party will be formal or informal, and where the party will be given," said Howard Payne and Ralph Blake, managers.
Previously it had been announced that only those who had ballots which were printed in the Kansan coale vote, but this led to a great deal of trouble. In many organized houses, a large number of student were interested in the Law Sermil, but as the club subscribed for one Kanisan, only one student could vote on the questions. After muchought consideration the officers of the School of Law decided to adopt the policy of a free vote to any student interested in the questions, and this policy will be followed.
Any person may write his vote on any kind of paper and cast the ballot in the ballet-box placed in front of Green hall. As the School of Law courses of the Sergei Ferdinand series the trust can insist all voters to cast only one ballet. All ballots must be cast by Wednesday night, Oct. 28, as they will be counted Thursday morning and the ballet will be published in the Thursd-ry Kanan.
The Law Scrim is one of the oldest parties given up the Hill, and it carries with it many traditions. In former years it was customary for the party to carry a handbag that the party has been informal. Many students wish for the party to follow the old tradition and again be formal. The question also carries with it another side. If the Scrim is formal, it will cost each individual from three to ten dollars. If the admission fee will be much less, probably two or three dollars.
