All girls taking part, qr wiBbing to attend are excused, fj-om classes between those hours. .This Is the only girls' event of the year for which time off from the rou-- tin work Is asked of the faculty, and S-hon thp. number of .half holidays aranted to tho men or to the whole School for all sorts of things during fthe year is considered, the girls' holi day of two hours seems fair and well deserved. ! At present the-pennant; a veteran af fair of red'silk and gold, bearing the Insignia of many victorious classes, is fin the possession of the juniors, - -;' - - who will strive hard to retain it. None of tho teams this year are es pecially well organized, though all have been playing off and on for some monthB. In fact no class seems quite sure of its own line-up and very, like ly will not be until the moment of play. However the contest is expect ed to be just as exciting as though all the teams were veterans, knowing where to find each other and thorough ly versed In concerted work; and just as enthusiastic support Is expected from the team partisans. Tho opening, feature will be the usual parade of the "teams accompanied by their respective mascots. Tho latter often tike the form of wild animals, clowns, barnyard fowls, of freaks from the Eden Musee. Then the seniors play the first half of their match lth the juniors, after which tho soph omores play a half against the fresh men. Then follows the second half of the senior-junior game.

The Registrar has proposed a now system' of registration which, If adopt ed, will bo, put In force for the first semester of 1908-09. One idea is to suvo tlmo by having all students pick their courses and file them in the Registrar's office 'before going home in June, thus enabling all classes to organize and begin work at 'the end of registration week, Instead of at tho beginning of the next week. Another proposed Improvement is tho issuing of the schedule of classes In the spring Instead of In the fall. Thus It would not occur, as It often does now, that a student having picked his course from the catalogue, must distort tho whole course upon consuming the schedule 'because of conflicts between tho various classes. Prospective Freshmen may also choose their courses before leaving homo and profit 'by the advice of their friends, parents and older University- students. The plan is explained in detail by the following extracts from a circular recently issued by the Registrar: 1. Regular or unclassed students in all colleges must lodge in tho Rela tor's Office by June 1, 1908, their pro iposed schedules for tho first semester of 1908-1909. The schedules of classes will bo. published by May 15. Three days are given to registra tion for the first semester of 1908 1909 which begins Tuesday, Septem ber 16, and ends Thursday, September 17. Classes meet for organization Fri day, September 18, and class work begins Monday, September 21. It Is required that each student present to his adviser each semester, at the tlmo of registering, the' specific course or courses recommended for that semester to apply on his major requirement (Continued on page four.)
