N. Y, U. SENIOR PUNISHED
Faculty VIII Not Graduate Tiolater
of Eligibility Rule.

AS punishment for allowing men who were
ineligible TO compete in athletics account Of
conditions TO take part in recent senior show,
A E. Howe, '06 will not be graduated from
New York University next month with the re-
mander OF his class. although his class record
is absolutely clear and he is one of the bes.
students in the university.
Howe was chairman of the senior show COM
mittee It was decided this year to make the
production a bigger one than before. and.
with this end in view, the whole university was
ransacked for men to FL the various parts
There was no idea that faculty interference was
to be feared. for the laws OF the university
specify that the eligibility rules apply only to
men representing the university in athletic
musical or literary organizations"
The action of the faculty in Howe5 case has
caused the greatest indignation among the stu
dents, and there was widespread desire yester-
day to do something about the matter. 1t seems
unlikely that the senior class will attempt any
strike, as such move would be almost certain
to fail. but a petition will be presented to the
faculty, asking for reconsideration Of the ac-
ton. Judging by the fate OF previous petitions
however. little is to be expected from this ac-
ton, but every man in the class is expected to
sign.
The faculty has never before applied the reg
ular eligibility rules to a senior show but many
and students who planning to attend the
coming senior ball are getting their conditions
off for fear that they WIFI otherwise be de-
clared ineligible to dance
At the present time the same rules regarding
eligibility which apply to the football and base
ball teams are employed for the musical clubs.
the debating team the university publications.
the chess team and all class teams. The
Euceian Literary Society came under the rules
recently and compelled to replace officer
who was not taking the required number Of
hours Class offices, such as historian and
e-president. have been declared vacant for
similar reasons.
The faculty is apparently determined 10 have
reform. but the effects on student activities are
such that many will probably die out, Recently
two students, debarred by technical deficiencies
only not allowed to sing at a glee club
concert on the campus, and the concert was
therefore abandoned.
The activity Of the faculty dates from the ap-
pointment Of DR.. A f. HILL 'O1. as recorder and
secretary Of the committee on student organiza-
tions, which formerly confined itself to athletic
cases, but now takes an exceedingly active in
terest in every organization in the university.

RICH GOLD STRIKE.
Discovery Near Denver Said to
Eclipse the Rand.
IBy Telegraph to The rribune.I

Denver. May 25.-what is alleged TO be the
largest deposit Of gold bearing ore In the world
has been found in Park County. within fifty
miles Of Denver. The Guggenheims and Thomas
B. Walsh have obtained thousands Of acres of
it. ard. so far as can be judged from the forma-
tion. the bulk Of tho gold bearing area has been
taken UP.
The ground has been prospected with diamond
drills and by surface tests for a year. and the
results induced those mentioned to obtain all
the land possible This was done ostensibly be-
cause there were indications Of oil.
The mineral bearing deposit resembles a vol
canic ash. and is friable and plentiful that it
can be mined with steam shovels and placed in
a mill at a cost OF less than five cents a ton
Assays rule from IS to over $500 ton in gold
The cost Of treatment by the cyanide process
will not exceed 50 a ton. hence the production
of this vast mineralzed area will run into stag
gering figures. eclipsing the world famous Rand
if thorough prospecting and accurate assays are
considered as proof of the value of the find.
