Clause on Class Fights.

The committee of the university fac
ulty appointed at the last session to re-
wise the existing faculty committee sys-
tenn has presented its report, which will
be acted upon at the meeting called for
Monday morning.
The report states that three methods
of organization were open to the COM
mittee.
First, to accept the present system,
supplemented by a committee on petit
tons; second, to establish a general COM
mittee having oversight of the work Of
students and reorganizing present COM
mittees; third, the appointment Of dean
and the elimination of many of the ex-
listing committees experimenting the
work Of the dean with a few necessary
committees.
The revising committee has thought
best to accept the second method. me
plan of establishing a deanship as the
r. executive Office of the faculty al some
future time is also looked upon with ap-
prevail
Among the suggestions submitted by
the committee is the adjustment of the
present committee on library and the ap-
pointment of a temporary one, consisting
of five persons, to investigate and report
on The condition of the library.
Some Important Charges.
AS well as many important changes
which are suggested in regard to the
much-discussed problem of student petit
tions, there are several articles in the re-
port that bear directly upon certain de-
velOpments at the university within the
past two years not previously covered by
the regulations.
The recent suspension of engineering
students for cribbing called forth the fol-
lowing clause:
In all cases of cheating in examina-
tons he of
fender, upon conviction, shall be suspend
ed for at least one semester"
The wholesale failures of the fresh
men and sophomore classes in the last
semester is provided against as follows:
Any student receiving three conditions
or failures in the first semester shall be
dropped from the rolls and shall not be
allowed to re-enter the university until
the opening of the following year"
To stop Glass Rows
Class meetings are held to be Solely
Tor the class calling the said meeting,
and in case OF disturbance and damage
TO property those who are known to be
present shall be held responsible for dam
age done, even though 1t may be shown
that thy cid not do the actual damage.
This clause is said TO cover the ground of
the neutrality-suspicious. fight in chapel
last year under conditiHSs similar to the
above.
ANY person detected in stealing VIII
be permanently expelled from the uni
Versity and be handed over to the civil
authorities to be dealt with according to
the laws"
The revision Of the committee system
is considered one of the most crying
needs of the university. The motion was
introduced by DR.. Frank l.. McVey, who
stated that the present system was en-
tirely without cooperation between the
different committees, resulting in too
much leniency in one case and too much
severity in another, and, hence, requiring
constant reconsideration and retraction in
the matter of student petitions.
