 The outcome of the movement be- gun in the class of 1915 last year against the senior societies and their relation to the college has ended this week in the agreement by the juniors tnlS week to accept lction in May Just as usual. The societies have agreed to bring about certain changes Tor the better in accordance with the demands of the signers' of the petition year ago. To insure the election O. the right men, each junior has teen asked to make oat a list of the 45 men he considers west worthy and the 1orty-hye names which are hfghess are to be published as an indication to the senior societies of how public opinion stands. A departure from the past is that the tapping next na- nth is to take place in BerKeiey Oval from which all visitors are to be excl lded. everyone except members of :he junio class and the forty-five seniors who will give the elections I.

Under Arkansas Laws Stockholders
are Liable for Twice the Amount

Little Rock, Aug. 21.-The state
banking department has just ordered
four more 100 per cent assessments
upon stockholders of banks that have
recently failed, making five in all
This is prescribed under the ac
creating the department. which holds
stockholders liable in twice thu
amount of their stock for all the in
debtedness of the bank. In each in
stance the banks have been unable tC
realize sufficiently on their assets tt
meet the obligations which has made
the assessment necessary. In the
event the assessment yield more than
enough, the, residue will be returned
pro-rata to the stockholders.
The assessments are as follows:
DArk of Commerce & Trust COM

capital stock 100000, liabilities about
100000.
Bank of Higden, capital stock, $5,-
900 liabilities about $4,000.

$4,000 capital stock, liabilities $780,

Bank of Huntington, capital stock
$4,000, liabilities $4,000.
The banking department is begin
ming to be more rigid in the enforce
ment of the law, and they are meet
ing the approval and cooperation =
all the best bankers of the state.
"You can't hit us too hard along
these lines" is the attitude assumed
by most of them, who declare that the
strict enforcement of bank regulations
which the state has lacked all these
years, will bring about stability that
has long been needed.
The department has gone to the
trouble and expense, also, of drafting
model bylaws which are to be sent
to each of the 425 banks in the state
with the recommendation that they be
adopted. 1t has been found that many
banks have no bylaws at all, and
others have inadequate rules for the
government VI their business.
One of the reforms which the de-
partment is insisting upon is hell
mination of overdrafts, ntheh theory
that eff a mans overdraft is good, SO

are cooperating. sHai
