PHYSICAL EDUCATION ENDORSED BY FACULTY Twelve Credits to be Requir ed of Applicants for Degrees in This Department Physical education was in dorsed by the faculty at its regular meeting last Thurs day, the revised require ments for edegrees includ ing 12 units in physical train ing in addition to the regular academic studies. The regu lar candidate for the degree of bachelor of arts or bachelor of science under the new regula tion is required to submit 132 credits chosen from the academic curriculum in addi tion to the physical education work, making 144 credits the total requirement for a diplo ma as compared with the 142 credits necessary under the old standard. The 12 physical edu cation credits are to be divideld ectually between work in the gymnasium and military train ing. No change in the required studies was recommended in the report of the committee oun curriculum at whose suggestion the new program was adopted. All 'candidates for degrees a, heretofore must include in their work the equivalent of two years' work each in English, history, mathematics and either modern or ancient lan guages with the equivalent of one year's work in laboratory science, the remainder of the studies being selected by the student subject to the regula tions of the university's elective system. The standard week's work is rated as 18 hours, but any student desiring to take ad ditional courses may do so with the approval of the faculty b., paying the extra registration fee of $3 each course. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SELECTS BOARD MEN Prominent Graduates of Insti tution to be members of Athletic Counci'. Irvine F. Belser and S. E. Hendrix, both of Columbia, have been elected as the repre sentatives of the alumni asso ciation of the athletic advisory board. Mr. Belser is a graduate of the university in the class of 1910, and while in college was a star on both the football and baseball teams. Mr. Hendrix of the class of 1906, has been one of the leading spirits in the recent movement of the alumni to encourage athletics at the university. UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WANT FRATERNITIES Petition to be Presented to Leg islature Asking for Re peal of Present Law. The student body of the uni versity went on record as favor ing the return of open frater nities to the campus at a meet ing held in the chapel last Sat urday morning. A request will be made of the legislature to repeal the present law that pro hibits the existence of a frater nity at a state institution and in case this is done the trustees of the university will be asked for their approval. It was as certained that no sub rosa fra ternities existed on the campus and the student body took the opportunity at this meeting to assure those concerned that the present law is being carried out at the institution. Fraternities were abolished at the university in 1898 in ac cordance with an act passed by the legislature of that year. Since that time several at tempts have been made to have the law repealed, but all have failed so far. The student body is of the opinion that the legis lature will take favorable ac tion on the matter at this ses sion. If this is done, however, it will be practicaly impossible to establish these organizations until next session, as the con sent of the trustees of the uni versity must be secured, and according to the wording of the resolution passed last Saturday a sufficient number of standard fraternities must be obtained to accommodate at least fifty per cent. of the student body before the trustees can be asked for permission for their re-establishment. The following committee was selected to draw up the resolution: Guy Gullick, J. B. Bryson, James Y. Perry, E. B. Smith and G. A. Buchanan. Asks for Co-operation. The editor of the Garnet and Black announces that fairly good progress has been made in the preparation of the 1920 an nual, but that all the students and faculty members have not co-operated as well as they might have done. It is urged that all who have not yet had pictures made will do so before the week is over. This is neces sary if the annuals are to be distributed on time.

The university authorities have divided the department of modern language into two branches, one being a depart ment of romance languages, headed by Prof. Oscar L. Keith, and the other a department of Teutonic languages, to be in charge of Prof. Frank Bradley.
