cent Ruling of Regents; Petition
Anulled.
Fine arts building will not be
dedicated "Holmberg Hall."
Efforts of students in the fine arts
department to get the new auditor-
ium building named after Dean Fred-
rik Holmberg, who designed the
building, came to naught yesterday
when it was learned that the Board
of Regents, in a recent meeting, ruled
that no university building should be
dedicated to any living person un-
less that person donated the money
to build it.
A petition, signed by 218 students in
the school of fine arts, asking that
the building be named Holmberg
Hall was left at the president's office
for his approval several days ago.
Waldo Ports, member of the band,
pushed the petition.

OKLAHOMA MEDICS GIVEN FIRST
CLASS RATING IN ASSOCIATION
The university school of medicine at
Oklahoma City has been given class
"A" rating by the council of the Ameri-
can Medical Association according to
word received here Wednesday by Dr.
L. A. Turley, assistant dean.
Advance in rating from class "B" fol-
lowed an inspection recently by Dr. W.
D. Colwell, inspector and secretary of
the council.
The first two years of medicine of-
fered at Norman have had class "A"
rating since 1909 but the work at Okla-
homa City was secondary.
The new hospital, new clinical courses,
and the stability of the university man-
agement caused this action by the coun-
cil at its meeting in Chicago recently.
The effect of the new ranking will be
to raise the standards of the school
among medical schools in the United
States and will give graduates of the
university advantages in being admitted
o practice in other states.
A course for fifth year internes was
approved.
Celebrate Rating Friday.
A jubilee celebration in honor of
the granting of class "A" rating to
the medical school will be staged by
medic students at Oklahoma City
tomorrow.
All university medics and pre-
medics will leave on the 9 o'clock
interurban car for Oklahoma City
tomorrow. They will be excused
from all classes, those in charge an-
nounced Wednesday.
An open house at the university
hospital will be held all Friday morn-
ing, and clinical demonstrations will
be made for the benefit of Norman
students.
A parade will be held at 2:30 to-
morrow afternoon in the city. Floats
for each of the classes, and, if pos-
sible, every ambulance in the city
will be in the parade.
A banquet at the Skirvin hotel will

J. B. A. Robertson, Deans LeRoy
Long and Assistant Dean L. A. Tur-
ley, and Pres. Stratton D. Brooks will
give addresses.

City entertainment.
ACTIVE STUDENTS
FOR RHODES RACE
Local Rhodes Secretary Shows
Reason For Many University Men
To Compete.
Candidates for Rhodes- scholarships
will have double the odds for placing
this year than they will have next be
cause of changes made recently in the
Rhodes rulings, Prof. W. S. Camn'ell
secretary to the Committee of S. tee
tions for Oklahoma pointed out We J
nesday.
Representative students who haw
some student activities as well as grades
are especially wanted at this time, Camp
bell said.
Oklahoma will get two scholarship-
this year instead of one and whereas
the university usually sends four candi-
dates to the state selection meet, eight
will be permitted to go this year with
the chance of winning doubled foi
every candidate.
Heretofore competition has not been
keen and the university has allowed men
from other schools to walk away with
prizes, Campbell said. This he believes,
was because university men have not
understood the requirements.
What is wanted is not supermen but
representative students who will make
good at Oxford in the same mannet
hey arc made good here, he said.
