Although the ruling was not aimed at the School of Education in particular, it will have an important effect on that School's policies in the future. Previous to this time, students who desired to take edu- cation courses necessary for a teacher’s certificate were denied the right unless they enrolled in that School. Now, with their adviser’s consent, students will be able to schedule any education course if they have the neces sary prerequisites. Although this action of the Senate will pi’obably mean that fewer students will enroll in the School of Education, it will also mean that more students will take education courses. Many who were kept out by the former rigid ruling will now take these courses as a necessary part of their college work. They will benefit; and the School will benefit by on increased enrollment in its courses. Both should be satisfied. ALTHOUGH THE $3,708,000 appropriation has passed the Legislatui’e and received the signature of the Governor, the fate of the College -for the next two years rests with the people of the State at the November election. If they approve the bond issue submitted at that time, the College can continue at only slightly re duced efficiency. If they vote it down, one-third, or over a million dollars, will be deducted from the present reduced sum. Students, faculty members, and interested in the welfare of the College should be active in their support of the bond issue. -Otherwise, the Col lege may be forced to run on two cylinders after all. NOW THAT SENIORS are to get the rental of their caps and gowns free of charge, few are concerned about the price that was to be charged for each outfit. Although the fee as listed by the company was $2.00, the student committee was forced to charge $2.50. Why was this necessary? Upon investigation it has been found that the student committee is not dealing directly with the company supplying the outfits; but. through a middleman or agent instead. In' order, to make a rea sonable commission from the undei’toking, therefore, the student committee has been forced to add fifty cents to the rental price of each outfit. There may be a good reason for the existence of a middleman, but it is not very obvious. The student committee seems to bo doing all the work connected with the taking of orders and distribution and shipping of outfits. Will seniors next year be forced to nay the increased charge even if direct dealing with the company is possible? SENIOR MEN AND WOMEN will attempt to iron out their differences concerning the disposition of a three thousand dollar surplus in the class treasury, at a joint meeting tonight. Last week, the men recom mended that the money be given to the Student Loan fund for the aid of worthy students, while the women proposed that the sum bo invested and the interest used to establish a scholarship. Of the two proposals, that of the senior men seems the most logical under the present conditions. A scholarship would aid only one person a year, while three thousand dollars added to the Loan fund would probably mean that as many as fifty students could secure enough financial aid to complete their college work. The first would be a more per manent class memorial, but the second would be a more practical and effective application of the funds. WITH THE SENDING OF letters to fraternities explaining the present system and the proposed merger of men’s and women's student governments, campus opinion on the question will become a little less foggy. Too many students have been quite willing to oppose the plan without knowing anything about it Needless to say, such an attitude is unfair. A judicious con sideration of the faults of the present system and ad vantages of the proposed system will show that both the men and the women have a great deal to gain by forming a combined Student Board and Student Council. We’re going to come out and make a bold state ment. Spring, at last, is definitely here!

HOLMES ADDRESSES SUNDAY CHAPEL SERVICE Points Out Need df Progressive t Leaders To Bring Reforms 1 “To find a group of leaders cour ageous enough to innovate radical re forms needed in a world muddled toy slow thinkers is the only way out of our present depression/' declared Dr. John Haynes Holmes in addressing the chapel service in ‘Schwab auditor ium Sunday morning. Dr. Holmes, pastor of the Commu nity Church, New York: City, divided present-day people into three classes. Ever present in all ages, he declared are those who live in the glories oi. the past, the “standpatters,” who are afraid to go either backward or for ward, and the ambitious, ever desirous ol‘ pushing onwards. “By far the greatest percentage of the people today belong to the class which looks backward at all times, blit tho ‘stand-patters’- always make themselves felt in times of'stress such as this,” the New York pastor pointed out. “Every great advance is accom plished through the far-sightedness of those visionaries who’ are aware of outworn customs and are unafraid to propose startling changes.” .ARCHOUSAI (Honorary Senior Women’ll Society) Doris M.
