Three professors of the department of English composition prepared a test to determine how well informed 'the students of their sections were in Significant national and international events.

Six Tournaments Included Points during the winter season were awarded for six intramural tour naments, boxing, wrestling, basket : ball, swimming, volleyball, and hand ball.

Cheerleaders and Intramural board representatives, as well as all managers, also secured points for their organizations. Phi Delta Thetas lead of 257 points in the winter compilation is largely due to a lump total of 251 points gained in winning the intramural wrestling tournament, which is the largest total number of points gained by any. one group in any one intra mural competition... 16 date. In addi tion, by winning the intramural box ing, tournament, this group annexed 125 points. Varsity competition net ted the group 145 points.
