Dean issues bulletin to
instructors; six weeks'
exams expected Oct. 21
In a special bulletin Issued this
week to university Instructors,
Dean T. J. Thompson announced
that first six weeks' reports will
be due in his office Saturday, Oct.
26, and must be in not later than
Monday, Oct. 28, indicating that
first six weeks' examinations will
begin about Monday, Oct. 21.
Professors will make up reports
on all students with unsatisfac
tory scholastic records. Absences
and Irregularities are to be re
corded with the Dean's office. In
complete work; unsatisfactory, but
redeemable work; entirely unsatis
factory work; and courses dropped
in bad standing, all constitute ir
regularities and will be reported.
Parents get reports.
Reports of unsatisfactory work
are sent to the student and to hia
parents. The administration de
sires regular class attendence;
therefore, there is no regulation
permitting "cuts." Students are re
sponsible for the attendance that
a professor may require, and are
expected to adjust attendance rec
ords in the event of any defi
ciency. Extraordinary circumstances,
such as prolonged illness, may
warrant an excuse from the dean
of the student's college, the dean
of women or Dean Thompson's of
fice. Absence records are reported
weekly to Dean Thompson's office
for the purpose of checking on stu
dent's attitudes and progress in
his studies.
Fraternity, sorority
Brothers, sisters ask clever
ideas for Kosmet Klub skits
By Marjorie May.
Tryouts for the 1940 Kosmet
Klub Revue will take place late
this month, and that means so
rority sisters and frat brothers
are now searching high and low
for ideas. Themes for the skits
must be unusual and appealing, as
former revues have shown, and the
two winning stunts must survive a
great deal of competition.
Past year skits have varied in
presentation, but musicals have
proven themselves most popular,
In '32, the first year when the
best skit was chosen, the Kappa
D U skit, "Radio Revue," copped
first place. Gamma Phi Beta took
the cup with "College Daze" in 33
Both were musicals.
Melodramas.
However a Kappa-ATO stunt
entitled "Ye Old Towne Hall" took
the prize in '34, and since then old
time melodramas have ranKea sec
ond highest in popularity with the
judges.
"Lunatic Asylum" by the Chi
Phis rated high place of the fra
ternities and Alpha Phi's "Old
Woman in the Shoe" of the sorori
ties in '35. Two musicals, Alpha
Chi Omega's "Football a la Co-ed"
and ag college cafeteria's "Ag
Cafeteria Cowboys" received first
prize in '36; and "Society Section"
and "Acropole No. 7" by Alpha
Phi and Zeta Beta Tau-Pi Kappa
Alpha respectively in '37.
Music and satire.
Beta Theta Pi's "Revue in Blue"
and Delta Gamma's "Awgwan,"
the former a musical and the lat
ter a satire on the monthly student
publication, carried off high hon
ors in the '38 revue. Last year
the Delta Gammas again reached
Fifty-six register with WAA

Each one who takes the prac

a mess kit containing a tin cup,

The city is donating wood from
tree tops and trimmings for the
fires. Pup tents and a few meas
kits will be loaned by the military
department and the women's res
idence halls are donating cans to
make cooking kettles. So far no

Students unable
to use vote, says
college prexy
"Because of cumbersome ab
sentee voting laws, more than
100,000 college students of voting
age are discouraged or actually
forbidden to exercise their voting
franchise." That is the conclusion
of Dr. Frank L. McLuer, president
of Westminster college at Fulton,
Mo.
Dr. McLuer bases this statement
on the findings of a survey con
ducted by Westminster's Institute
of public affairs. The survey found
little conformity in state statutes.
Missouri and Oklahoma specify
that absentee voting is possible
only within state boundaries.
Rhode Island and Virginia insist it
is legal only if the voter is outside
the boundaries.
Says Dr. McLuer, "This situa
tion is particularly undemocratic
and senseless. College boys and
girls of voting age, presumably
studying to become better citizens,
have neither the inclination nor
the encouragement to cut thru the
red tape of absentee voting laws."

GRACIOUS LADY.
Another story was added last
week to the many current tales
describing the graciousness of
Helen Hayes. It is told that Miss
Hayes, now starring in ehr own
radio theater over KFAB, was
considerably awed by Laurence
Housman, the noted English au
thor, when she met him for the
first time.
Miss Hayes, who has played long
and successfully in "Victoria Re
ginia," based on Housman's stories
of the great British queen, said: "I
feel, sir, that I owe you a great
deal."
Whereupon Housman replied,
"You? You owe me nothing, my
dear. I am the one who is in
debt, and to you Miss Hayes, you
have made me a rich man."
FOOTBALL IN SPANISH.
