CHANGES MADE IN SCHOOL SCHEDULES Bissey Plane To Avoid Crowded Classes in Liberal Arts, Physical Education Schedule changes in the upper Schtiols of Liberal Arts and Physical Physcial Education and Athletics will aid in eliminating crowded classroom ditions during the , present semester; according to Cyrus V: D. Bissey, Col lege scheduling officer. ' In the. School of Liberal Arts, Economic, Geography 24 has been made a requirement and will sup plant one of the other science courses. By this move it is hoped to relievethe crowded conditions of the botany and zoology laboratories. The context of this science course for commerce and* finance students will be changed in order that it will be more along eco nomic lines, than the• geological as heretofore. Will Continue Changes In the School of Physical Educatidn and Athletics, Dr. Elwood C. Davis has' scheduled fre . shmen and sopho more men at times that will not conJ fliet any measurewith .thoso per ionS,,taking,fdvinced" By.this method the department.hopes to give more attention to each 'grew' of students than was possible before. Also regular classes will not interfere with varsity practice periods in- any sport. Under the system used at the Col lege, many changes are made every .yeai in an attempt to clear up diffi culties **riving from - crowded' class rooms• and too large sections, which throw too much routine work upon the shoulders of any one professor or in structor. It is in the hope that changes will affect not only the pro fessors, but the welfare ,of the stu dents, according to - Mr. Bissey. Other changes will probably, be made from time to time if it is deem - - ed advisable in order to insure better training and less confusion.. . W. P. H. C.

They are Lee and Woy. There's a longer combination with a decidedly esurient ring, liungerford, and also a restful combination in Knapp. ' And then there's . a moniker to gain the respect of students and professors alike: Goligthly, which is followed by a complimentary name, Goodman. If the first year men are interested in Prussian militarism, they already have a nominal head in Kaiser arid a euph onic substitute, Kiser: Among the more heroic of the uni versity tyros are such courageouS people as Knight, a ,calm and unexit able member of the great green gath ering, Kuhl, and a quick-moving; üb iquitous person in Himoff. There is also a goal-eyeing, anticipatory fellow by the name of Grad, and a crystal lized, solidified, diamond-like individ ual called Haarde. '. One outstanding deficiency mars the nomenclative escutcheon of the fresh man class.

In 1904 the chapel speaker left the teaching profession, following six years at Swarthmore College as pro fessor of law.

PRICE FIVE CENTS Tuesday evening at the close of the regular entrance period, .023 stu dents had paid their fees, with the additional ninety-three aceeptul yes terday. Noticeable among the fig ures was the increase in the number of members of the sophomore and sen ior classes who returned to the cam pus this year.. According to hurried tabulations, over 775 seniors, more than 850 jun iors and over 1100 sophomores and 1100 freshmen have actually com pleted registration. The increased number of , registrants among the senior and sophomore classes aston. fished members of the admistration who had estimated a lesser number on the basis of former years. Final check on the number of trans fer students from other institutions, members of the forestry department at Mont Alto, and practice teachers now located in Johnstown and Al toona, together with the number of students in each 'of the seven schools on the campus will be made and re leased-within a few (lays. These fig ures will not increase_the grand total above 'ha additional 200 students, it is thought.. Freshman Enrollment Drops The number of practice teachers now at Altoona and Johnstown will be about twenty-five, while about nighty to eighty-five freshmen with about twenty to twenty-five second year men at the forestry school at Mont Alto are expected to swell the total. • Over 100 freshmen who had paid their $lO fee earlier in the month were not among the registrants in the last week. Although some of them will enroll later, the final total for the freshmen class will be lower than that of former years. Increased optimism among students taking fcrestry courses over the gov ernment's recent reforestation pro jects in the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Tennesse Valley Authority is responsible for the in erease of men. continuing in the for estry curriculum, administration of ficials ,believe. Last year's class totals, with 874 seniors, 957 juniors, 1085 sophomores, 1265 freshmen, with 103 two-year students, 126 special students and 390 men and women taking graduate work, will be the high mark in reg istration for the College.
