an effort would be made to enforce
law and order. Indifference to college
rules will not be permitted to go un
noticed:.
There era many well known rules as
to the use of the buildings and of the
campus and also as to the conduct of
the students Chicle ought to be kept
in mind. It would also be well to keep
the following rules in mind.
A student should attend every class
The Instructor has lined authority to
meek absences annoyed /n case of ill
ness where medical attention has boon
received, Dr J. P. Rlicnour will recom
mend excuses. In cases of necessary
absences from town the dean of neon
or the dean of women will recommend
excuses.
No studont may drop a subject with
out permission from the dean of his
school and If a subject Is dropped af
ter three weoks It will bo counted as
a failure.
A student falling In fifty nor root, or
his subjects at the end of the semester
will ho dropped from college.
A student dropped from college Is
not permitted to take re-examinations

Hugo Bezdek, began to roar In earnest
at football practice on Wednesday af

his men through a stiff workout.

of the tackling dummies, ho kept up
re steady flow of mixed criticism and
praise as one by one the members of
the squad hurled themselves at the de
fenseless dummies,
"Bez" is far from satisfied with the
way in which the men are absorbing
