Council of Deans Ruling; May
Go Back.
Five days will constitute a school
week, beginning next year, according

a re-adjustment of schedules for the
f^ll semester but the change should
be easy to make, Dean Gittinger be-
lieves.
That more three hour courses will be
offered next year was the opinion ex-
pressed yesterday by Dr. S. W. Reaves
chairman of the program committee.
Many of the regular university cour-
ses were changed to two, three, and
five hours by the six day plan this
yean
When interviewed yesterday, Dean
Gittinger said that the university
probably would work back to the six
day schedule which has been per-
manently adopted by many of the
larger universities.
Shop and laboratory will be the
only classes open on Saturday next
semester.

High school visitors in Norman
this week will have a chance to sec
some real Varsity track work when
the Texas Longhorn squad meets
Soutar's men on Boyd field Friday
afternoon. The meet will start at 2:30
p. m.
The return of Holleman and Foster
to the squad materially strengthens
Oklahoma's team and greatly in-
creases the chances of a Sooner vic-
tory in the opinion of those who have
charge of the spring practice. Holle-
man is the holder o fthe southwestern
record in the 440 dash, made last
year against the same opponents at
Austin. Foster, although not a vet-
eran, is a promising low hurdler and
will likely take part in that event.
Practically the same men who
would have competed against the
Aggies will be in the Oklahoma array.
Due to the muddy track the meet
with the Oklahoma Aggies, scheduled
for today at Stillwater, has been
postponed until May 13.
FACULTY WOMEN TO MEET
The Faculty Women's club will
meet Wednesday afternoon at three
o'clock at the home of Mrs. J. W.
Sturgis, 200 East Duffy street. The
medical faculty ladies of Oklahoma
City and Mrs. J. B. A. Robertson are
expected as guests and a large at-
' tendance is desired.
Mrs. J. M. George, of Oklahoma
City, spent the week-end here with
her husband who is a student in the
school of medicine.
Y. M. C. A. Secretary Shows Need of
Leadership From Real Pal For
Developing Normal Lad.
"Nothing ever grows by repres-
sion", said Hugh C. Leggat. of Okla-
homa City, state secretary for boy's
work of the V. M. C. A., in discuss-
ing the Y's policy in hoy's work Sun-
day afternoon in the \ hut.
Mr. Yeggat emphasized the need of
allowing boys to develop naturally.
"Towns are measured by the stand-
ards of their boys", he said, "and
when boys go bad, it is the fault of
the town. Don't police boys. They
arc not naturally bad but grow so
when they cannot find an answer to
their craving for a friend and
leader".
