notes OF interest.
While some students are apt to
take light work, others are apt 10
take too much work. The faculty
has therefore passed rule whici
provides that unless special perinis
sion is granted BY the faculty no
student in the College of Arts and
Sciences may take less than three
courses, nor more than four courses
at one time, and no student may
take four courses in consecutive
quarters without special permission
from the faculty. Yesterday the
following order was adopted, to settle
some questions to which this rule
has given rise. The order in ques-
ton is as follows:
students who are carrying four
full courses, in accordance with the
regular rule or by special permits
sion of the faculty, shall not receive
credit for fractional courses in addi-
ton thereto.
Provided, however, that any stu
dent may receive credit for the frac-
tional courses in the chapel, mill
tary, or physical training depart
ments in addition to his other work"
Under the new arrangement for
the Winter quarter, all classes sched-
uled to meet at 1870 will meet at
10, and all classes scheduled to meet
at IL 80 will meet at IL. Some after
noon classes and some new classes
may be put at II, but there will be
no IL o'clock classes except those
specially announced.
A new system was inaugurated by
electing six prosecuting attorneys
