MILITARY COURSE ALTERED Hereafter But Two Hours Drill Will Be Given During Winter Weeks 64 Hours Credit Will Exempt One From Drill. Judging Contest to Start Tomorrow Kansas, Amca and Nebraska All Have Teams Entered FINE DISPLAY OF PRIZE CORN At u meeting of the University Sen ate hold lust evening It was decided to permanently abandon the annual military camp. This decision came as the result of an investigation by the committee on the Correlation of Courses, consisting of Professors Fosa ler, Chatburn, Wolcott, Bruner, and Engberg, and is concurred in by Com mandant Bowman. The "course of hours has also been changed by the action of the Senate, providing for the division of the year in drill Into three parts, in the first and third of which four hours will be given per week, and in the second, during the winter months, but two hours will be given. Other rulings were also made with regard to credit for drill, settling the question of upperclassmen enter ing from other schools without the drill requirements. The action thus taken expresses the opinion of the faculty on one of the most disputed questions concerning the students. It will be presented at the next meeting of the Board of Re gents for final action, but coming as It does with the strong recommenda tion of the faculty it will undoubtedly meet with the approval of that body. The clause concerning camp will go into effect this year; the rest of the recommendation applies to next year, taking effect in September. The report in full, is given below: Report of Committee.

Is Masterpiece of Clyde Fitch. "Nathan Hale," by Clyde Fitch, will be the subject of the theatrical offortB of the Juniors for this year and will offer more than ample opportunities foj the display of all the student tal ent that irrny bo put forth. The play Is reputed among competent authority as being the strongest effort that has como from the pen of Clyde Fitch. Tho plot is set in revolutionary times and deals with a historical character bear ing tho same name as the play. Tho story introduces tho hero as a school teacher of a colonial school with tho heroine as his pupil. Tho adventures of Nathan in his resistance to the loyalists, his volunteering as a Bpy and his subsequent adventures In tho British camp form a talo that Is full of Interest from both a dramatic and historical viewpoint. The play 1b complete with strong situations and tho trial scene In which Nathan is condemned bb a spy with his Bweet heart as a witness Is considered one of the most powerful dramatic situa tions to be found in dramn. Nathan Halo was originally enacted before the public by Nat Goodwin and Maxine Elliot and is dedicated to these theatrical celebrities. The largo royalty paid for the privilege of pro duction attests to tho general worth of the play. Registration Today and Tomorrow.
