TIGHTENING THE SCREWS
More Stringent Requirements for
the Students at the
University.
Barnes and Scoggins, the Crack Sprin.
ters, Return to Berkeley.
News Notes.

BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 6.-Recorder
Sutton of the State University announced
to-day that the faculty had passed on two
new regulations, which will raise the
standard OF entrance requirements for spe-
clal students, and also tighten the screws
on the students already in college.
Last year all applicants desirous Of taking
liberal studies in the various colleges, un-
der the head of special students, were re-
quired to pass an entrance examination in
English composition, while this year ap-
plicants for admission to the university
courses in English must pass the entrance
examination in subjects one and fourteen,
as provided for in the list of entrance
subjects.
The rule of last year will hold as regards
students who wish to take courses other
than English.
The other regulation requires that at
the end of every year students shall have
a preponderance of second sections in their
favor or pass examinations sufficient to
bring their standing up to the mark. BY
rassin & this measure students will be re-
lieved of the em barrassment attending the
discovery at the end of the fourth year
that they have not enough second sections
and hence cannot take their degrees.
