There are many disturbing fac tors in every classroom whicii tend to disconnect the train of thought set up in students' minds by the lecture of the professor. Among these factors may be found listed the mannerisms of the professor, slight tho they may be, These mannerisms, unnotice able to some students, are easily picked up by other observers as very repulsive and annoying. Mannerisms as given in most dictionaries are described as be ing "excessive adherences to a pe culiar style or manner; character istic modes of action, bearing, or treatment, carried to excess." Fl TO SEE FIRST REVIEW Organizations, Individuals To Appear at Time Set By Committee.

One of these professors has the particular habit of com ing into tie room every day, coughing loudly, seating himself, and beginning the lesson after a few false starts caused by his sputtering and spuming in not knowing just how to begin his lec ture. This makes the majority of his students either laugh, or it makes them become restless, as the coughing, the starting and stopping is continued thruout the entire hour. How, may I ask, can tie professor hope that the stu dent will take proper notes and understand what he is talking about when this monotonous in terruption takes place time after time? Speech Punctuation. In still another class, every stu dent has been annoyed thruout the lecture period, by the extremely noticeable mannerisms of the pro fessor, who thru negligence or some other cause, has not elimi nated those characteristics whicli tend to destroy the whole value of the lecture. The classroom is bored with the talk of the profes sor who, many times, at the rate of anywhere from 15 to 40 times a minute, thru actual count, has said "er" or "uh" much to the disgust of tie entire class.

McGimsey began yesterday at the range in the basement of Andrews hall and will continue from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. daily until 4 o'clock Tues day, Nov. 24 when the winners will be announced. Fifteen men have entered to date and the high score thus far is 42, honors being split between Edward Maser and Fred Bodie. A turkey will be awarded to the holder of the high score and also for the lowest score which so far is held by Aulton Roland with a score of 5. The highest possible score is 54 and the lowest pos sible is 3. Shots are fired at a "luck" target devised by Sergeant Mc Gimsey in which the novice has as much chance to win a turkey as the veteran marksman. Pure luck is the predominant element, and any person may fire shots as he desires at the price of 3 shots for ten cents. All are invited to par ticipate or witness the competi tion and the awarding of the Turkeys on Tuesday. PROF.

Meeting in special session this afternoon, the Student Council will definitely decide the fate of the social chairmen's proposed "four party rule," and will con sider the Big Six conference dele gation's report concerning the newly formed Mid-Western Asso ciation of Colleges. Forbidden by council law to leg islate upon the proposal which will limit the campus to four houai parties on any week end night, at the same meeting at whlc'i it was introduced, the executive body of fered a test vote of approval and decided to hold a special meeting today for the purpose of final con sideration. Hollister Outlines Case. Bill Hollister, chairman of the social representative's committee in charge of negotiations with the orchestra, appeared before the council on behalf of the movement at the meeting held last Wednes day, Nov. 10. Outlining a brief history of the entire movement, from the organization of tie group until the subsequent compromise with the Musicians union, Hollis ter evidently won the support of the council to his movement. Provisions of the four party rule are simply that not more than four house parties can be held on any week end night. Pur pose of requesting legislation by the Student Council is to place en forcement in the hands of Dean Amanda E. Heppner's office with whom all parties must be regis tered. Drive for Better Music. "The idea of limiting the num ber of house parties did not ap pear as a part of the written agreement with the union," Hol lister stated, "altho there was an understanding that such action would be taken. The four party rule will eliminate the demand for pickup orchestras by spreading the parties over a longer span of time, enticing good musicians to organize orchestras since they will be guaranteed a profitabJe season." The four party rule was t'e students' part of the compromise with the union to which the musi cians promised a new type con tract including: "1.
