ANNOUNCED FOR THE YALE JUN
 IOR SOCIETIES.

Definite Action on the Subject Has Jus
 Been Taken by tho Yale Chapters O
 the Junior Fraterntties of Aiphn Delt'
 Phi, Psi Upsilon and Delta Kapp
 Epsilon.
 The Yale Alumni Weekly will an
 nounce tomorrow the radical changes
 in the Yale junior societies as follows:
 within the last two days definite
 action has been taken by the Yale
 chapters of the junior fraternlties o1
 Alpha Delta Psi, Psi Upsilon and Delta
 Kappa Epsilon, by which their organi-
 zation will be extended six months farther down the academic course. Be-
 ginning with the class of 1904 the first
 election to the three so-called junior so-
 cieties, already named, will be on the | last Tuesday before Thanksgiving in
 sophomore year. At that time twenty men will be taken to each society. This l uQlIDGI VIII De lllCICtSeu by SiSi eeNN't tions to each society on the Tuesday be- | fore the following Easter, while from | the same class in junior year will be elections of four and three each, four in | the fall and three in the spring. It will also be within the power of each socie- | ty to give three elections from the sen | for class
 Thus, these three societies will take | tWentyeight men each in sophomore year, seven men in junior year ana three men, if they choose, i'll senior year, making a total of thirty eight for each or 114 for all This number Is not greatly different, or the order greatly changed, from that now existing, ex- cept for the fact that twenty men are taken in the fall or sophomore year.
 This is the significant fact of the whole change. This election of twenty men in the fall of sophomore year is in tended to take the place of the elections formerly given to sophomore societies. The difference is in the slight increase
 In the number, sophomore societies having taken from fifteen to seventeen each, and also in the fact that the elec- tions are not given until Thanksgiving, instead of Tn the last week in May, or first week in June, as was the case in the sophomore societies.
 ''The agreement between these three fraternities Psi Upsilon, Delta Kappa Epsilon and Alpha Delta Phi, by which this order of election was agreed upon, thus covers the three last years. It will not affect the elections from the class of 1903, which will take place as hitherto during Omega Lambda Chi week next month.Hl It has, however, been agreed to take, twenty eight men from each of the societies this year, in- stead of twentyfive as hitherto. This makes the same number of men taken in sophomore year from the class. of 1903 as will hereafter be taken in each sophomore year Calcium light night will take place this spring as usual, but hereafter will take place in the fall at the time of the election of the first twenty from each class.
 Tt is understood ethat there will be | meeting nights for the sopho- | nlores in the three societies. with one | meeting night each week for all the | members. The two nights will be Tues day night, which has always been the | junior society night, and Friday night, | which has been the sophomore society | night. ZEN
 An important part of the new agree nent is the fact that the campaigns for the three societies will be on a competi- tive basis. as has always been the case with sophomore societies and formerly was the case with the junior societies.,'J
