This was the statement of Frank Wat-
son chairman of the employment in-
vestigation committee of the student
council, Wednesday.

ho.. ii.s parents in Chicago, at 4

mother, who was at his bedside from
Fr urt.l h;s death, accompanied the
body.
Schneider was taken suddenly ill
Tu ay r.uon, November 30, and was
tak i ' lie infirmary. Dr. C. S, Robo
d.a. i ed the case as appendicitis and
Dr. l.'ti.-i anan, a surgeon from Okla-

Schneider was influential in getting
the Kn. ;hts of Columbus house here and
had taken his third degree in that ord-
er. Hr 1 \ed with an uncle in Ok!a i
homa City, John McDonald, and had
entered the university in 1916. Schneid-

and returned to the university where
lie has taken an important part in
school activities He was 23 years old.1
Preparations have been made by the
Newman club and the Knights of Co-

GRAD SCHOOL IS
LARGE THIS YEAR
Largest Number In History of School
Is Record This Year; Geology
Is Favorite Course
The largest enro'ment that the grad-
uate school has ever had is a disting-
uishing feature of that school for this
semester, according to Dr. A. H. Van
Vleet, dean of the school. The total
number enrolled is 61.
More graduate students are majoring
in geology than any other department,
altho history and English continue to
be desired by many graduates. The large
demand for modern languages is filled
with difficulty just now on account of
the heavy undergraduate work in that
department.
Practically all the departments of the
university are now offering graduate
work and the possibilities for majoring
are bring increased in all branches, Dean
Van Vleet further said.
Comparatively few departments of-
fered many courses for the summer se-
mester due to the lack of funds neces-
sary for obtaining instructors. There-
fore as a working policy, emphasis was
placed on the courses most in demand
such as history, English, education, and
sociology. It was found advisable to
cater to the demands of the teachers
who made up a large part of the grad-
uate enrolment during the summer se-
mester. Aii interesting course offered
in geology was the field course given in
the Arbuckle mountains.

JUST SUPPOSING SOME
CLASS WAS AN INDIAN
GIVER,—SUPPOSING—
Does a class memorial belong to
the class or to the school? Could
students who gave the sun dial and
spoonho'.der to the university take
them away if they so desired?
These questions will be decided to-
night in the practice court case of
Adams and Brown vs University
of Oklahoma to be tried in the su-
preme court of the Harper bar in
Monnet hall.
The suppositional action to be
brought is one of replevin and the
agreed statement of facts in the
case is this; "The plaintiffs, stud-
ents of the University of Oklahoma,
placed in their present position two
years ago within the quadrangle of
the univers.ty, the sun dial and
spoonholder. They now desire to
remove them but the university re-
fuses them the privileges to. They
bring tins action of replevin to re-
cover possession of both the sun
dial and the spoonholder."
Attorneys for the plaintiff are
Crismore and Crosby. Attorneys
for the defendant are Carmen and
Ridings.

and stuth nts are not receiving just pay
for their services. Watson declared.
"Efforts to adjust these conditions
will be continued," said Watson, "and
we hope it will not be necessary to pub-
lish a list of unfair employers."
In a few cases, it was found that j
employers had apparently just com-
plaints against the students employed:
relative to unsatisfactory work, and in
each instance the matter was taken up
with the student concerned and satis-
factory adjustment made.
The investigation of excessive roorft
and board rates will also be continued
