The test will be an examination, given by a coni- 'mltteo consisting of Miss Howell hnd four appointed members, and will be of such naturo as tho committee may decide Tjho Initiation fee is twenty five cent6 and tho annual dues are of tho same amount. In brief, the nbovo plan is the basis for tho future. growth of the Dramatic Club. Heretofore, membership has been conflnod to tho instructor and tiro members of tho elocution classes, and all elocution students could be come members upon payment of an initiation fee. This has led to a some what arbitrarily exclusive organiza tion with no ability qualification for entrance. Many students outside of tho elocuMon classes who were Inter ested In dramatics were unable to join tho club and, as a result, they and the club loth lost a chanco for growth. Tho now constitution reme dies this condition by opening tho club to, elocution students and outsld . era nliko, making ability tho only requlslto for admittance. This should produce an oxceedjng'y strong lub, capable of putting on a higher class of plays than over before, and ono that will be a power In tho Univer sity. Tho morlt of tho plays which tho club has offorod from time to time in Memorial Hall should bo a convincing argument for tho worth of tho club. Whoever has tiro ability, pr thinks ho has, or Isn't sure, and pormlts an op portunity to join tho club to pass with out an offort is losing his clianco at ono of tho most pleasant 'features of colloge life. Inrnrany of tho colleges and .universities a( tho country the various plays produced by tho rjra- matic Club aro the" events of tho year and membership in tho club is prized above membership In anyTjther or gnnizntioh in ihoschool. There Is no roason-wliy this should not bo the casq horo fronj this Umo jon. Plans for tho coming year aro al ready underway. Ofllcers have been olected, comfnltees have been ap pointed, and sevoral plays aro being considered for production. It is not improbable that ono of these may be put on nt the Oliver early in the sec--ond semester. ' Whether this would bo a Shakespearean play or one more modern is 'undecjded noxifcvSelectIon8, for .tho casts of spveral vtor plays,, however, will bo made vor,y soon and rehearsals , '.will, follow immediately.

Another remarkable feature in the make-up of tho English university is tho Individual nttrmflnn fri,r t t, students. When an undorgrifduato maincuiates there in ono of tho col leges ho makos that collogo his homo, and tho college is rosponslblo for him. Ho is not allowed to bo outsldo tho limits of hlB college at nights. "Old Tom," tho curfew boll, rings every night at 9 o'clock and that Is tho sig nal for oach student to bo within tho wallB of his college. Their course of study Is very much different from ours in that it tends to greater specialization. Tho bachelor of arts of tho English university has loss general Information than hns a person holding a similar dogroo from an American institution, but he is hot ter educated in that his knowledge is moro logically connectod. Their sys tem also domands a groat many more themes and papers than tho American systom arid this makes tho TSnglisli- mon ablo writers. .' Everybody takes part fn athlotics; but thoy go into it not for tho sake of .winning glory and renown, but for tho sake, of the sport itself. - Co-Oducation - is less prominent in Oxford than in tho west. Boysdo not meet the girls socially In any of tliejr work connected Avith tho university. Girls attend lectures with a chaperone, It Is ovon considered -a lapk of good manners to look at tho" girls. Nothing would shock an Englishman moro than to seo our boys and girls studying their German lesson together on tho Library stop, to say nothinc of dnlne "bench work" under a tree on thd ' campus, wo may call it co-education, but thQ Englishman would-regn'rd it ns flirtation.

Two days and then Ames. - Tho question that Is confronting tho coaches now Is how wo aro to meet Amos and Colorado with tho toam In its present condition. Cotton, who has boon tho mainstay of tho team all year, has gono stalo. It is "thought that tho big tacklo tias boon over trained. Glen-Mason Is nlso In pretty poor condition, being bruised -and much, tho worso for wear. With Book- y out of tho gnmo for tho Beason, it would bo almost fatal to soo Mason-go io tno sido lines. Besides these rogu lar team men bolng on tho waiting list, Harvey, who had his arm sprnlnod a week ago, will not bo in tho gnmo ngaln this season. Tho work of tho varsity quarter backs In last night's practice was of tho rankest order. Time aftor tlmu thoy fumbled Jn practice, as well as being slow in getting tho play off. To havo so vital a point as this bothor the coaches at this critical tirao in tho schedule is indeed very discourag ing to those -interested.
