HOW TO PLAN A MAJOR
Rules Concerning Selection of Course Printed for Misunderstood
Heretofore many students have had considerable difficulty in arranging their major courses. According to Mrs. Charles Esterly, secretary to the dean of the College, this is due to a lack of understanding of the faculty rules concerning majors. Many students, especially the freshmen and sophomores, do not fully understand the requirements for majoring and the work required for majoring and that work towards that end. The following is the faculty ruling and may clear up some of the mystery concerning requirements for majoring:
THIRTY HOURS THE MINIMUM
During the last month of his sophomore year each student must file with the Dean notice of the department in which he applies for the privileges of selecting his major, giving his reason for his choice. The Dean notice of the department is approved of his application and the student will confer with the department in reference to the work of his junior and senior years. Any department is authorized to outline in the catalogue one or more departments majors consisting either formally prescribed work or suggested work, or in no case shall the prescribed work total more than 25 hours. A department may, however, in any individual case, outline a special major course if it seems best.
THIRTY HOURS THE MINIMUM
Before graduation the student must complete a major course within 20 or more than 10 fours in one department and at least less than 30 nor more than 10 in the group including the department. At least 12 hours of work in satisfaction of the department major requirements must be in courses not open to freshmen and sophomores.
Any course in the department which is a prerequisite of any part of an outlined major in that department, will be counted as a part of the total prescribed work, with the proviso, however, that beginning language courses to the extent of 10 hours need not be so counted unless the department so decides. Until then thements of a major have been completed, the student must each term before investment in classes secure the curriculum of his departmental major work by the major department. The privilege of continuing a major in any department may be withdrawn for cause at any time.
The second tryouts for the Triangle debate with Missouri, Oklahoma, and Colorado will be held Thursday at three locations: 2:30 a.m. in room 5, Green Hall.
A change of department in which a student selects his major may be made at any time during his junior year, but application for such a change must be approved by the Dean and the department to which the charge is
SECOND TRYOUT FOR
TRIANGULAR DEBATI
Probably fourteen men will be chosen from this second tryout. Later, this number will be cut down to nine for the three teams.
The sixteen men who were chosen from the preliminary tryout and the former Varsity men are eligible. Each speaker will be allowed to make a five minute talk on whatever side of the question he desires. The judge will be the faculty committee of the debating school as before.
The following men were given places at the first trout:
N. L, Anderson, J, Donaldson, W,
S. Edwards, W. Glascro, C. Hale,
J Harris, A. B. Irwin, C. B. Lyon,
M. McCullock, E. F, Price, B. Ramsey,
W. Raymond, M. H. Read, O. Reser,
A. B. Richmond, and L. Smith.
To have a Round Robin in tennis as soon as the weather permits and a tennis tournament in the spring for women, is the latest idea of the Women's Athletic Association, organized last month on the Goetz' office with two large sheets of paper with "Freshmen" and "Sphornes" printed in large letters across the top have already obtained the names of eleven women.
TO HAVE A ROUND ROBIN
AND TOURNEY IN TENNIS
Tennis has been a favored sport among the women all term. Last year all players were obliged to furnish their own rackets and balls and as they disliked keeping them in their lockers, playing was discouraged. Since the purchase, last fall, of complete equipment all the courts have been in use in good weather, during almost every period.
The entrees include seven freshmen and four sophomores, but many sophomore players have not yet signed up, although much more are invited to the suggestion which was made at the last meeting of the association.

SOME SNOW IS NEEDED
Shea Discovers a Possible Coast ing Place, but Where is Sickness?
Students, who want to const this winter will have to use the north point of the Hill says John M. Shea, supprintendent of buildings and grounds
"The point of the Hill that lies west and a little south of the McCook Field seems to me to be the heat spa make a coating Mr. McRae would be no money necessary to put this place into shape, and when the snow got deep enough to cover the long grass, that is on that part of the hill, students would go there before clear to Maine street or down behind the athletic field."
By starting from the Hill just in front of the old hospital west of Me-Cook Field and coasting southeast there would be about a 175 yard run before encountering a ravine. If, however, the starting -place -were south of this on the same course in Me-Cook Field which would be 200 yards long without encountering natural obstacles.
NO MORE CROWDING TO
GIVE REGISTRAR MONEY
The former confusion at fee paying time has been eliminated by the placement of two new windows in the hallway of Friar Hawk Hall, where fees are paid during the holidays and they are ready for use now. Formerly fees were paid in a small room in the registrar's office, which was a slow and tiresome task caused much stress. According to the Foster his assistants will pow be able to work faster, making it easier on both the students and people in the office. There are also many boxes under the windows large enough to accommodate packages as well as letters.
The initial meeting of the night class in Shakespeare under the instruction of Prof. C. G. Dunlap was held Wednesday night at the Manual Training High School and twelve persons, including school teachers and townpeople, were present to take advantage of the new course. The tragedy of Hamlet first work taken up for study. Professor Dunnlap paid it, unlike most courses this will not be a lecture course. The class will meet every Wednesday night at the Manual Training High School for a period of two hours.

ATTEND CONFERENCE
E. W. Murray Hears College Athletics Discussed by National Association
Professor E. W. Murray spent a part of the holidays attending the 10th annual meeting of the National Collegiate Association in New York City. This association is composed of about one hundred schools, Cornell being the only large school that has not joined its ranks, and had an enrollment of about three hundred members at this meeting.
The general purpose of this conference is to instruct the public on questions pertaining to athletics. They have no power in making decisions, are considered authority and are used in the settlement of disputes that may arise. Prominent speakers were: Dean Briggs of Harvard, the president of the association, and ex-president of the spoke on common athletic questions.
At this meeting the conference attempted to define the much disputed question of "what is an amateur" but no conclusion was reached.
The departure in the matter of appointing the football rules committee is the most important work of the convention, but the committee was previously appointed by the schools is to be handled in the future by the National Collegiate Association. The conferences also appointed a committee which shall look after the administration of the schools regarding forfeited games, eligibility of players, etc.
"There is no doubt that this conference will become the governing body of Collegiate athletes," said Mur. Murapt "its power growing, its influence will hold bequeath, they are made by an impartial, unprovided body."
Professors A. T. Walker and E. W. Murray also attended a joint meeting of the American Philological and Archaeological Association at Princeton, New Jersey, December 27-28.
SAYRE TELLS 'EM HOW
Dean of Pharmies Told What He Know about Good Housekeeping
"Good Housekeeping" was the topic discussed before the Home Economics Club by Dean L. E. Sayre of the School of Pharmacy last week. He drew largely from his own experiences in speaking on the building, heating, plumbing, furnishing, and care of the house.
"Never expect the contractor, plumber, or any other service man to grasp and produce your ideas for you in the matter of building a house—decide what you want and then insist on having your plan carried out."
Daney Sayte, toold of his experimental work on coffee in regard to its poison content and spoke of its use in the diet of the family. In close呼呼, he maintained that a family has to reserve a kit of simple medical remedies for emergency use.
YOU CAN'T DODGE GYM
WORK NEXT SEMESTER
"And finally, to be good housekeepers, be good shopkins. That is, beware of the bargain counter when there are no bargains. My wife is the only member of the family to be trusted at the bargain counter."
"All students will have to take their gym at least once a week next semester whether they work or not, is the way he expressed his concern. It is a lot of students, both sophomores and freshmen, who need the exercise, but are finding various means of avoiding it, and we are going to see that they got it in the gym."
The countless students who toil and sweat either in fact or in imagination in order to avoid attending their gym classes will have to ask their exercise next semester, according to H. A. Lovense, instructor in gym.
Mr. Lorenz also complains that there is a large number of lockers checked out that are not being used. These lockers are needed by other students who would use them and Mr. Lorenz requests that all men having lockers that they do not intend to use, see him and turn them in.
May Have Exchange Next Term
The book exchange at the University bids fair to be a reality in the near future. In fact, the Student Council committee that it will be running at the beginning of the next semester. There is also a committee working with the men's committee and they have been spending considerable time making plans for the management of the exchange. The location of the store has not been made but will be announced later.
CHANCELLOR MEETS FACULTY
AND STUDENTS AT ROSEDALE
Chancellor Frank Strong, while in Rosedale Wednesday visiting the Medical School, was impressed deeply by the teamwork and advancement made by the School.
"We had a meeting of the Council of the School of Medicine at 1:20 p.m. and a meeting of the faculty at 2:30 p.m. Both meetings were well attended and many interesting discussions concerning problems of the Medical School were heard," said Chancellor Strong this morning.
This is a very big year for the Medical School and much progress is in evidence, according to the Chancellor. The new dispensary building just finished is a fine one and greatly lifts the hopes of our senior over their previous visits per month while the old one would only accommodate about nine hundred.
Recent work on the grounds by the landscape artist has made the campus much more attractive, and makes it virtually fine site for such an institution.
FIGHT CIGARETTE EVIL
Boys of State Will Compete
for $100 Prize This
Year
An anti-cigarette contest among the boy organizations of the state with a prize of $100 for the group which organized the event against the civil has been arranged by Prof. Wm. A. McKeever, head of the department of child welfare of the University Extension Division. A second prize of $50 will be awarded.
Mr. John A. Edwards of Eureka has put up the money for the prizes. Mr. Edwards was formerly a member of the legislature and is the author of the present radical anti-cigarette law, a law which is being well enforced in parts of the state, accusations that are not to be taken as statement, and easily selected in other parts.
The plan of the contest is that the boys shall do all the work of the campaign, being merely supervised by directors.
The sympathies of Governor Capper and Attorney-General Brewster have been enlisted in the movement and the attorney-general has recently sent a letter to the governor asking for a more careful enforcement of the anti-cigarette law.
Professor McKeever will soon have ready a definite plan of organization and action for the boy clubs and, as head of the department of child welfare, will supervise the contest. The time and the award is not set, but it will probably be a year or more before the contest closes.
Early last fall, something like 700 circularers were sent out to school superintendents, outlining the proposed campaign and stating that a prize would probably be offered, but at that time the money for it was not in sight. As a result of the circumstances, G. Hall of Altamont has a troop of Boy Scouts organized and an aggressive campaign well under way.
The State Federation of Women's Clubs has taken a stand in favor of the matter and the W. C. T. U. is at work in its behalf.
