Other provisions for the reduction of expendi-
lures have been adopted. such as the limitation
Of travelling expenses, the reduction of expendi-
ture for trophies the elimination of free theatre

ever. have been merely sporadic and financially
unimpOrtant in the past.
The period of the training table has already been
shortened. the training tables of the crew and the
nine beginning only after the Easter recess. The
commentators of the council committee regard
Ing training tables have been adopted so far as the
mendations that all training tables except that

univ ersty dining hail. that $40 be the maximum
price of training table board: that an individual
charge of S n week be placed by the university
