Last Year
BERKELEY, Jan. 30.-The appoint
ment of Prof. Charles T.. Rieber, asso-
clate professor of logic in the univer-
sity, to the head of the summer session
for 1908 has just been made. The APP
pointment will meet with widespread
approval among the educators of the
state, who know of the efficient manner
in which Dean Rieber conducted the
summer session of last year. There
will be no doubt as to the large num-
ber in attendance at the university at
that time, nor as to the big attractions
that will be offered by those in author
ity. Dean Rieber expects in every way
to come up to eale plans of the last few
years, ana to even offer a better pro-
grain to the attending teachers than
has ever beAl offered before.
The summer session is to be held at
Berkeley for six weeks beginning June
%. No formal examinations are re-
quired for admission. The entire list
of prominent educators from eastern
universities and from abroad has not
as yet been completed, but enough
names have already been secured to
insure the most attractiv program yet
offered.
The primary object of the summer
courses is to furnish instruction TO
teachers, super1ntendents of schools,
supervisors of special branches of in
struction and graduates; undergradu-
ates who desire to anticipate work or
who wish to make good deficiencies in
preparation or credit; preparatory stu
dents who wish to complete entrance
requirements or secure advanced stand
ing; and other persons who are quail
fed to pursue with profit any special
course are admitted to the exercises
OF the sessions as auditors without uni
versity credit.
The summer session is a regular part
of the university, and in addition to the
lectures and recitations in the class
rooms all the advantages and re-
sources of the university are open to
the student for advanced work. 1t is
planned to make the next summer ses-
sion unusually attractive to the teach
ers of the Pacific coast. Already eight
lecturers have been secured for the de-
partment of education alone. IN addi-
tion to the several courses that will be
offered by the regular staff of the de-
partment, the presidents of the five
normal schools of California and two
give courses of lectures on the various
problems in educational theory and
practice.
Students to Turn Laborers
The students of the university will
again celebrate Labor day. The time
honored tradition OF putting the extra
day in leap year in work for their alma
mater is again to be enforced at Berke-
ley. Four years ago the student body,
with shovel and pick and with the aid
of teams and gravel, built paths and
roadways about the university grounds
that have been in use ever since.
This year the student body is to help
itself as well as, the university in en-
deavofing to beautify their own athletic
field and the surrounding Hillegass
tract. Trees will be planted, rough ems
bankments terraced and fences painted.
Each college is to have it's boss and to
work in gangs at the task assigned to
it. Some of the large construction COM
panies about the bay are lending to
the university hundreds of picks and
shovels for the accomplishing of the
great task.
Under the leadership of President
Burke of the student body and Samuel
]. Hume the work is being planned and
divided into systematic fashion. The
''omen of the university in accordance

tions of the university.

to talk over the prospects of the sea-
son and sign up for their work.
speeches were made by the track cap
tain and many prominent student
leaders, as we'll as by the coaches and
trainers. There is at California
great deal of desirable material for
track in the coming year, though moth
ing very definite can be said of it at
the start of the season. With the
coming of the bright weather, hard
work is to start, and Captain Stanton
expects to begin the development of
his winning team. The meet will be
held this year on the Stanford oval.
The training of the varsity crews
mas already commenced in the gym
nasium. After a short period at the
rowing machine the candidates for the
crew will be taken down to the water
and hard work will soon be under way.
The finishing of the interclass regatta
last semester has greatly advanced
the boating season and gotten out of
the way many of the obstructing pre-
liminaries of former seasons.
The varsity basketball team is con-
tinuing it's winning streak and has
scheduled many games for the coming
season. Many of the rugby players
are finding their football training Of
