College May Revise Division Requirements
Division requirements of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences may be revised. Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean, said Tuesday.
The purposes of the revisions, Dean Ulmer said, will be to simplify division requirements, introduce a greater degree of flexibility for students during their freshman and sophomore years, and guarantee a liberal education by limiting the area of choice for courses to fill requirements.
The College Administrative Committee is considering the possible revisions.
"Although the present system worked pretty well 30 years ago, before there was such a degree of specialization in the junior and senior years, it is now just too tight," Dean Ulmer commented.
"Many times students cannot fill the division requirements for junior standing and still be adequately prepared to go into their major fields of study," he said. "The committee hopes to narrow requirements down to a smaller number of basic courses."
Robert Beer, associate professor of entomology, and J. Neale Carman, professor of Romance languages, were named as new members of the Administrative Committee. The new College faculty members were also introduced at the meeting

FOOTBALL: ITS CAUSE AND CURE
At next Saturday's football game, while you are sitting in your choice student's seat on the ten-yard line, won't you give a thought to Alaric Sigafoos?
Who, you ask, is Alaric Sigafoos? Come closer, sit down, light a Philip Morris, savor that natural tobacco goodness, sigh contentedly, cross your fat little legs, and listen.
Alaric Sigafoos (1868-1934) started life humbly on a farm near Thud, Kansas. His mother and father, both named Ralph, were bean-gleaners, and Alaric became a bean-gleaner too. But he soon tired of the work and went to Memphis where he got a job with a logging firm. Here the ex-bean-gleaner worked as a stump-thumper. Then he drifted to Texas where he tidied up oil fields (pipe-wiper). Then to Arizona where he strung dried fruit (fig-rigger). Then to Virginia where he was a research assistant (book-looker). Then to Long Island where he dressed poultry (duck-plucker). Then to California where he lectured young women who were about to get married (bride-chider). Then to Minnesota where he cut up frozen lakes (ice-slicer). Then to Nevada where he determined the odds in a gambling house (dice-priser). Then to Milwaukee where he pasted camera lenses together (Zeiss-splicer).
Finally he went to Omaha where he got a job in a tannery, beating pig-hides until they were soft and supple (hog-flogger). Here he found happiness at last.
He found happiness at last...
Why, you ask, did he find happiness at last as a hog-flogger? Light another firm and fragrant Philip Morris, taste that true tobacco flavor, puff, relax, let sweet lassitude possess your limbs, and listen.
Next door to the hog-floggery was an almond grove owned by a girl named Chimera Emrick. Chimera was pink and white and marvelously hinged, and Alaric was hopelessly in love the moment he clapped eyes on her. Each day he came to the almond grove to woo Chimera, but to no avail. He tried with all his vigor and guile, but she, alas, stayed cool.
Then one day Alaric got a brilliant idea. It was the day before the annual Omah Almond Festival. On this day, as we all know, every almond grower in Omaha enters a float in the big parade. The floats always consist of large cardboard almonds hanging from large cardboard almond trees.
Alaric's inspiration was to stitch pieces of pigskin together and inflate them until they looked like big, plump almonds. "These sure beat skinny old cardboard almonds," said Alaric to himself. "Tomorrow they will surely take first prize for Chimera, and she will be mine!"
Early the next morning Alaric came running to Chimera with his inflated pigskin almonds, but she, alas, told him she was not entering a float that year. In fact, she had just sold her almond grove and was moving East to try out with the Boston Red Sox.
Alaric, upon hearing these glum tidings, flew into a violent rage. He started kicking his pigskin almonds all over the place. And who should be walking by at that very instant but Abner Doubleday!
Mr. Doubleday, who had invented baseball some years earlier, was now trying to invent football, but without success. The trouble was, he couldn't figure out what kind of ball to use. Now, seeing Alaric kick the pigskin spheroids, his problem was suddenly solved. "Eureka!" he cried, and ran to his drawing board, and the rest is history!
