the "sheep and the goats" that any
ono of the redoubtable '13's can be
certain that he has safely crossed
tho Rubicon of his college career.
Many seniors, careworn because of a
too stiict attention to books and by
a neglect of the nececssary "campus
lab," can be daily seen in the library
but the greater portion of tho class
will not begin to worry until the
week before the ordeal.
The alumni will get busy during
the week of commencement and hold
a genuine old Alumni week when the
old grads returning to familiar scenes
about the old school can talk over
old times and renew past acquaint
ances. The a'umni proceedings are
in charge of George Kline, the alumni
secretary, who is planning upon mak
ing the week a grand success from
every standpoint.

Would Prescribe Rest
Course for Those Unable
to Endure Gym Tortures
An Innovation In the line of Btudlea
has been proposed by Miss Gittinga
as an addition to the University cur
riculum. The couise is called the
rest cure, is exclusively for girls and
the most arduous work of the course
consists In the maintenance of per
fectly quiet and restful condition on
a comfortable couch under the care
ful instructions of a supervisor, the
student having all tight clothing re
moved and hair undone and practic
ing the difiicult feat complete repose.
In order to prevent strain or over
work on the part of students who
take the course, the amount of work
which each applicant will be allowed
to perform in the work of relaxation
will be decided by medical authori
ties. The course has a very com
menable object in the promottlon of
beauty and grace among tho girls.
