New Grade Point System Proposed. Sorting in 1927
Faculty Committee Meets Tuesday to Discuss Regulations for Graduates
the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will meet Tuesday in Blake hall to discuss the new regulations regarding student achievement on the improvement of undergraduate scholarship. Members of the committee now F. B. Dunn, C. J. Pouye, Elise Newman, G. L. Brandi, G. B. Lawson.
The committee will recommend for adoption a grade point system for graduation, to begin with the class graduating in the spring of 1928 "The quality requirement for graduation shall be 125 grade points of which a minimum of 60 grade points must be carried after a student's first enrollment. The maximum of more than 125 credit hours are required for graduation, the grade point requirement shall be one grade point per credit hour."
In earning these grade points each hour of A grade carries three grade points; each hour of B grade, two grade points each hour of C grade. In earning these grades, a student carries no grade points and the grade of F, minus one grade point per credit hour. In no case, however, may a student be assessed negative grade points for missed classes in nature or for any reason taken prior to Sept. 1926."
It is the feeling of the committee, according to the notice sent to faculty members of the college, that the grade of F should be regarded as a distinctly lower grade than a D. The comment continues, "Our present system ignores the Fw when we lead the student in Dv, with the assistance Dv, that it is very common for a student to ask for a failure instead of a D."
Advanced standing students must also recent 12th grade points for graduation, according to the proposed rules, "but must earn in residence a minimum number of grade points equal to the difference between the recommended standing credit hours and the number of credit hours required for graduation".
FOUR PAGES
It is proposed that these rules shall apply wherever the grade point system is now used.
Until June 1927, students indulge the option of graduation without the regulation or of those rules in force at present. The grade point system is already effective in class-to-classe promotion and in determining the number of hours a student can expect to work that the use of the grade point system for graduation "will make the whole system more uniform and also be of assistance in the development of 'honor systems' should decide to take up and matters."

"Advertising space in the big 1920 Jayhawk went on sale Monday Oct. 12, under the supervision of the ad vertising manager, Kenomh Finch, said John Krob, Jayhawk business manager yesterday.
"Regardless of the fact that the campaign has been under way several days there is still an excellent opportunity for the one who is willing to work to earn a place on the business staff," he said.
It is expected that the space this year will sell musk faster than before, because of the increased value without increase in cost to the advertiser. This year's increased value through the page being added and the page being created to where it contains 14 square inches more for copy.

"An oration is the epitome of a certain phase of a man's life expressed in words," said Prof E. C. Bucher in a talk on "Building A College Oration." given in Green Hall, Thursday evening. "The oration must be the outgrowth of the man; we cannot separate it from his life."
Professor Buehler Gives Pointers to Students
The problem oration is the most popular type, Professor Bacheir said. It lends itself to strong argument, and is generally more interesting. Common errors made in orations which Professor Bacheir warned students against are flamboyant exhibition, summarizing and engaging with a wide audience, must have his audience in mind at all times and to be able to tolerate, yet gradually lead up to a climax where he will wail that audience to his way of thinking

Chancellor Lindley and Dean to River Conference
Chicago, Oct. 10—One to four inches of snow are heaved throughout the Northwest today, while the thermometer is far below the freezing point in many areas. There have been reports reported in Minnesota due to the snow.
Dean Stockton explained Friday morning that the conference was called to discuss methods for the improvement of the Missouri river from a heavy freight relationship relating to the development of the Missouri river as a carrier of heavy freight particularly," Dean Stockton said. Primarily the hope is to develop the Missouri river as a transportation product of this interior region.
Iowa reports snow and freezing temperature. Snow also fell in Nebraska and Wisconsin. Wisconsin reports a "baby blizzard" with four inches of snow in the northern section.
"The navigation of the Missouri will also give the railroads competition, and it is hoped by navigation pr $ ^ { \textcircled{1} } $ that freight rates will be lowered.
"The meetings are being attended by delegates from all over the region between the Missouri and the Rocky mountains and from some of the states east of the Missouri. Many of them feel that they are in a pocket, away from the favorable freight grants granted to the territory adjacent to the Great Lakes, the Ohio river, the Mississippi river and the coast, and they are consequently anxious to see the Missouri used as a freight car."
The date rule will be suspended for "Rollo's Wild Oak," the Y. W. C. A. play, Tuesday evening at Liberty Memorial High School and for that event only.
