could master subject in less
time. Exceptionally able and
well-prepared students could be
encouraged to demonstrate by
examination that they possess
certain skills or that they have
mastery of certain subjects, and
thereby could earn cerdit in or
could be excused from taking
courses otherwise required.
9. The cooperation with the
colleges in developing a pro
gram of courses desigii?d only
for Freshmen. The purpose of
this point would be to limit
courses to freshmen and provide
instruction suitable for fresh
men. 10. The cooperation with the
colleges in studying critically
the requirements of university
entrance, admission into fresh
man curricula of colleges, and
which the colleges may establish
for admission into sophomore
classes.
Administered by a dean.
These functions of the Univer
sity Junior Division would be ad
ministered by a dean, ranking on
a par with the deans of the col
leges, and a Board of Counselors.
Although no name has been men
tioned for this position of dean,
since the plan is yet merely a rec
ommendation, it seems to be the
general concensus that an out
sider would be brought to the
university.
The Board of Counoellors would
consist of ten members. Six mem
bers of the board would be com
posed of one representative from
each of the colleges now register
ing freshmen. Each would be
nominated by the dean of the col
lege and appointed by the Dean
of Junior Division. The other four
members would be as follows:
One to counsel students who have
chosen a college but who have
deficiencies in their qualifications
that must be removed, one to
counsel students who elect to
pursue terminal ( vocational )
courses which will be offered only
by the Junior Division, one to
counsel adult specials (adults who
have ecquired only a partial or
complete high school education),
and one to couvmel students who
are designated as unclassified by
the Board of Counsellors. These
would be appointed by the Dean
of the Junior Division.
In addition to counselling a
special group of students as in
dicated above, each counsellor
lone of the ten-man board) would
be the chair-man of a committee
of advisers who will advise and
register students for their courses
oi study.
Each new student classified.
On the basis of information as
sembled before the new student
reaches the university, then, this
Board of Counsellors would clas
sify ever new studeent in five
groups as follows:
1. Group A. Would consist of

- r -- -
TMI TISTI9 IMU
rot iviit pih
A.
Than 7.000 Students
students who had chosen a col
lege and who appeared fully
qualified to pursue the work
of this college. Each of these
students would be counselled by
the counsellor who represents
his college.
2. Group B. Would consist of
students who had chosen a col
lege but who exhibited deficien
cies which would have to be re
moved before entrance into that
college. Each of these students I
would be counselled jointly by
the counsellor representing the
college of his choice and the spe- I
cial counsellor for students en
tering with deficiencies.
3. Group C. Would consist of
students wishing to pursue
terminal (vocational) curricula
offered by the University Jun
ior Division only. Such students
would be counselled by the spe
cial counsellor for students tak
ing terminal curricula.
4. Group D. Would consist of
students' designated as adult
special students by the univer
sity catalog. Such students
would be counselled by the spe
cial counsellor for adult specials.
5. Group E. Would consist of
students who had not yet made
a choice of vocation or college.
Such students would be desig
nated as Unclassified Students,
and would be counselled by the
special counsellor for unclassi
fied students.
Comprising the committee
formulating this recommendation
were Professors: Nels A. Bengt
son, R. W. Frantz, Jiles H. Haney,
C. E. McNeill, O. H. Werner, C.
C. Wiggans, and H. H. Marvin,
chairman.
Perrinc exhibits
wonders of wires
Wonders of modern communica
tion were demonstrated to an in
terested audience by Dr. J. O. Per
rine last night.
How telegraph messages can be
sent over an ordinary telephone
wire without interfering with pri
vate conversation was demon
strated by means of a huge loud
speaker. The speaker was con
nected to a New York line thru
the telephone company's coopera
tion. An "eight-ball" microphone
which tean catch sounds from any
direction was demonstrated. Other
features of the lecture were:
A vacuum tube used in trans
oceanic messages.
An original reproduction of
Bell's first telephone.
A coaxial cable, able to tarty
400 messages at once.

Tried to get a date with a wist
ful little queen the other nigM.
She was more heavily dated than
a calendar.
That's the way that things go.
She was the picture of health. Nice
frame, too. Good looks and every
things to go with it can get a girl
a long ways.
A girl has to be careful of those
looks. The average woman would
rather be twofaced than double
chinned. As one tree lover put it, a girl
with n willowy figure is oke.
I might add too, that men exer
cise for their health but with
women it is just a matter of form.
Unfortunately, however, girls
who are built like brick houses
don't attract bricks.
'Tis said that a girl can branch
out if she has nice limbs. I don't
know. There are possibilities.
This gal had a line.' I finally
told her, "you can't get a southern
accent by drinking out of a Dixie
cup, honey."
Perhaps I should have been a
millionaire. There are hundreds
of girls who would give their right
eye for a million dollars.

ing on the three campuses of the

A total of 63 buildings are de

Rejection of German terms

LATE.
The long awaited Russo-Turk-ish
alliance tame last night. Tur
key by provision of the treaty
has agreed in case of war to close
the Dardenelles to all foreign
warships.
The commander of the British
navy promised the United States
full co-operation in enforcement
of a Panama agreement to put
a huge "nafety envelope around
the American republic.
By Woerner and Steele.
The door to peace was pushed
closed today, but was not locked.
Chamberlain added his speech to
that of Daladier to declare that
Hitler's terms of peace are "im
possible." Still, room waa left for
the Nazis to obtain peace if they
were willing- to show by act and
not simply by word that security
would be the outcome. What acts
would be acceptable to the British
were left to Hitler's imagination.
While the belligerent nations
talked, neutral Russia continued
her conversations with the delega
tion from Finland. America Bent
the Kremlin a plea not to disturb
the little country's peace. Roose
velt. it should be rememliered, did
not feel it his place to propose an
armistice in the war now raging.
Finland, in view of her determina

northern neutrals much more than
of America's long distance advice,
may be able to get away" with
only minor concessions to the so

hidden cards in their hand. One
senator expressed his indignation
at the revelations by declaring

sion is now of how to help the
allies.
Those who determine govern
ment policy appear now to be dis
cussing more or less cpenly the
question shall we stay out of war?,
and not. Can we stay out of war?
America was the only country in
the World war that fought on
ideological grounds, all the rest
fought for solid national interests;
now many American leaders are
seeking to build up ideological
reasons for the U. S. to fight
again.
Germany appears to have ac
cepted the verdict and is prepar
ing, according to reports, for a
long war. The Bremen is now def
initely safe in a Russian port The
crew had been determined to sink
it rather than let it fall into allied
hands.
Lithuania is probably satisfied
with its deal with Russia, even if
major concessions were made. The
Lithuanians got back their tra
ditional capital. Vilna, which Po
land took by force shortly after
the World war closed. Rumania is
hurrying to make belated conces

better schooling and relief money.
Latvia is hastening to get rid of
its Germans which Hitler is seek

pleted a barter agreement, tin and
rubber for soviet timber. Germany,
where Professor Reinhardt, speak

expects morale to break first,
must see no good to them in Erit-ish-Russian
pacts and in the vast
encirclement movement which is
placing Russia and Russian-basked
