New Catalogue
To Be Smaller
Because of the reduced appropriation
for the University the catalogue will be
much smaller this year than it has been
in years past, Registrar John A. Chase, i
Jr., announced yesterday. According to
preparatory estimates the catalogue will
have only a little over a hundred pages
or about half the size of the catalogue
for this year.
It is hoped that no essential features
will be omitted but all material will be
cut to a minimum. As was the system

Embarrassment '
After a conference with the faculty r
committee on fraternities and with a pro- s
testing delegation from the Pan-Hellenic p
council, President L. T. Baker announced s
Wednesday that he has definitely decided t
to recommend to the board of trustees
that matrons be compulsory in all fra- g
ternity and sorority houses in which t
members sleep. d
The measure, which has caused much s
discussion and criticism among campus
Greeks, was originated becau>e ot al- i>
leged abuses in the houses of certain v
campus groups and is allegedly for the v
protection of the fraternities from out- t
side criticism. p
The fraternities are basing their protest
on a denial of several of the charges n

Successful Year Brought To For- I
mal Close With Banquet At
Rosemary
With the banquet to be given in honor
of the debators Saturday evening at the o
Rose Mary Tea Room the debating sea- o
son will be brought to a formal close o
after a very successful year. , The De- f
bating Council' will also be entertained e
on the occasion. < s
The boys' teams hav<^ taken part in
some twenty-odd debates, winning the ma- t
jority of those for which decisions were c
given. The two affirmative teams for I
the boys were composed of Thomas C. a
Hankins and James H. Galloway, Tom s
Whaley and James Brailsford. The negative
teams were J. Wiley Brown arid s
Luke Williamson, Lonnie D. Causey and t
Richard Foster. y
Only two co-ed teams were chosen
for the past season as their program p
was not so extensive as the boys' sched- h
ule. Their affirmative team was Mil- tl
dred Brown and Theisen Ray. The neg- f
ative was composed of loxlema Gaines
and Clelia Keels Black. lj
Debating at Caroling has been excep- 6
tionally successful under the handicap n
which it has been carried on. There is >
no debating coach or public speaking class g
in connection with debating as most of 'I
the other schools have. ii
