61 Percent of Liberal Arts Classes
Over sixty-one percent of the en
rollment in courses offered by the
School of Liberal Arts for this se
mester consists of students from six
other schools of the College, according
to a report by Dean Charles W. Stod
dart, of the Liberal Arts School.
‘Based on the total number of stu
dents enrolled in all Liberal Arts
courses and not upon the total num
ber of students in College, the regis
tration in the courses reaches 10,793,
182 of which are in graduate classes
according to the report. The School
of Liberal Arts has the greatest rep
resentation with 4,156 units in the
courses.
School of Education students ac
count for 2,022 of the total registra
tion,, while the Schools of Engineer
ing and Chemistry and Physics follow
with 1,851 and 1,078 respectively.
The School of Agriculture with 857,
Mineral Industries with 265, and Phy
sical Education with 171, constitute
the remaining units in course enroll
ment.
In a nine-year period from 1923-24
to this semester, the economics divi
sion has had the greatest increase in
enrollment, advancing from 1,266 to
2,140 in class registration. The only
decrease noted was in the cla&ical
languages courses with the enrollment
dropping from 1,350 to 804.
Steady advances were made by the
German and music divisions, the for
mer increasing from 182 to 669 in the
nine-year period, and the latter from
101 to 498. Philosophy rose from 87
to 261 in enrollment, while English,

2 SUBSCRIPTION DANCES
Bring, Rapp, Head Committees for
Owens, McAllister Hall Affairs
Two subscription dances to be held
in McAllister hall within the next two
months have been planned by wo
men’s groups, according to chairmen
of the committees in charge of the
functions.
’ .Cwens, sophomore women’s activi

Saturday, December 10, while the an

held on January 6. Bill Bottorf’s or

both occasions. <

journalism increased from 2,175 to
3,197 units in class registration.
Enrollment in mathematics, class
ical languages, and history bourses
fluctuated during the period with
slight increases shown. The greatest
unit enrollment in Liberal Arts
classes came in the first, semester last
year when 11,062 grades were dis
tributed.
Of the 369 Liberal Arts classes be
ing conducted this semester, forty-two
percent of 157 contain between 21 to
30 students, while 93 number bet.ween
11 to 20 registrants. The economics,
history, and English literature de
partments lead in classes of 41 and’
over, with 21, 16, and 11 groups, re
spectively.
8 Percent of 1936
Class Have Faulty
Speech, Test Shows
Nearly eight percent of the present
freshman class have more or less
serious defects in their speech which
demand clinical attention, results of
the speech test given to all first-year
men during registration show.
Twenty-four freshmen were found
to have serious disorders which de
manded immediate clinical attention,
while forty-one had less serious .de
fects in their. speech. In addition,
there were thirty who had'disorders
which merited some degree of clinical
supervision.
Clinical work 'is 'under the direc
tion of Herbert Koepp-Baker, of the
public speaking department, who is
a trained clinical technician. Present
procedure consists of a series of
diagnostic tests, while plans for the
future call for a - recording instru
ment which will make, an individual,
record of each student's voice.
The test this year consisted of two
parts, the first of which.was reading
a connected paragraph which was so
constructed as to test the freshmen
in fifty-two different speech sounds.
Pronunciation of a certain number of
words was the second part of the test
This year’s number.of speech dis
orders was slightly higher than last
year, according to Prof. John H. Friz
zell, head of the public speaking de
partment ' and director of the tests.
However, the test this year was also
more difficult than the one given last
year, he said.
It haunted clerks
\ "
for generations
' “The first of the month” used to be a time of
feverish activity for ledger clerks. But the Bell
System accounting staff breaking away from
tradition simplified the keeping of accounts and
rendering of monthly statements to customers.
They applied a modern system of rotation■ bill
ing to the telephone business which now spreads
this work evenly throughout the month. In co
operation with manufacturers, they devised special
typewriters and bookkeeping machines. Thus
they did away with inefficient rush and achieved
greater accuracy, speed and neatness.
This is but one example of a point of .view found
throughout the Bell System. Even long accepted
routine is constantly studied —it’s’always worth
looking for the more efficient way!

Fraternities Receive Bad Drubbing,
Freshman Praises Customs in ‘Bell’
Fraternities receive a severe drub
bing at the hands of “A Fraternity
Senior” and a freshman lauds the idea
of .first-year customs in the second fall
issue of the Old Main Bell, student
literary magazine, which will be plac
ed on sale Friday morning.
Entitled “The Failure of the Fra
ternity,” the senior’s article charac
terizes the present fraternity as: “a
social organization for outward ap
pearance instead of a society for inner
values” and maintains that “conform
ity is the moth-eaten banner which
the fraternity flaunts.”

the present policy of large member
ships. “Most of the new men are
better qualified as prospective bill
payers than congenial brothers."
Maintaining that “one is a benight
ed idealist if ha hopes to find ‘brother
hood’" where “one joins on, flash
judgment and is chosen in the same
fashion," "the senior scores rushing
season as a “superficial lottery." ’“A
man does not choose his friends- in a
half hour," he adds.
“Contrary to popular opinion, the
average freshman is not opposed to
taking customs," according to Vance
0. Packard ’36, author of “Freshmen
Like Customs." If, following frater
nity. rushing, “we had not been
brought quickly back to earth by these
few customs, we would probably be
the most conceited young asses on the
face of this earth," he adds.
Believing that the only' hope for
freshman customs “lies not in a,
change, but- in a more efficient en
forcement of vthc present system,”
Packard points out that freshmen
don’t hesitate to break rules “because
we know that the upperclassmen are
usually not interested enough to pro
test."
