FIS IK Physical Education Majors Judged on Scholarship and Personality A new system of rating men students majoring in physical education has been worked out by Harry Scott, head of the men’s department of the school of physical education, which provides for granting of awards to every student, the character of the awards being de termined by the number of points earn ed during the year, on the basis of per formance, scholarship, personality, ac cumulative experience, athletics, and teaching ability. The award will be presented at the beginning of every fall term for work done the preceding year. All awards will be uniform in color ai.d size, the only difference between awards of different value being in the number of standardized units, determ ined by the number of points scored by the individual to whom it is given. The design units will be badges, lemon-yel low in color, placed upon a dark blue background seven by two and a half inches in size. Each unit will be a crescent, signifying 250 points; lower units will be a diamond, each half of which is worth 100 points, a first and second V, worth 50 points apiece, and an indefinite number of other V’s worth 25 points each. The method of determining the num ber of points earned by the student is a complicated one, and for this purpose a table is kept of each man’s record. The points made in performance are computed on the score made in the phy sical ability pentathlon. The scholar ship score is based upon the academic average for the year, no points being given for an average below 4.5. The personality score is graded upon the individual’s personality, attitude, in terest, promptness, personal appear ance, and enthusiasm. The score based upon accumulative experience is de termined by the duties performed as squad leaders, or as paid athletic in structors outside the University. The athletic score is based upon the ath letic ability of the man, as demonstrat ed by the “making” of freshman or varsity teams, a varying number of credits being given for squad or team made. The teaching ability of the stu dent is figured on the basis of adapta bility, clearness of expression, class management, ability to teach hygiene, and a knowledge of material on the var ious sports. Bythus placing the department upon a competitive basis, Professor Scott ex pects to achieve two results. One will bo the greater efficiency of the de partment, obtained through being able to know to a mathematical certainty the quality of the work done by each individual, which will furnish a reliable basis on which to make recommenda tions for positions as athletic instruc tors. The other result will be better work which will bo done by students when they are thus placed upon a strict ly competitive basis. “Every man is bound to work harder when he knows the results of his work will be compared with his classmates’ and put down in black and white in this manner,” said Professor Scott.

TWENTY NEW TENNIS COURTS TO BE BUILT (Continued from page one) being appointed to draw up a contract and care for other required business. It is estimated the courts will be ready for use sometime near April 1. President Campbell assured the coun cils that construction of the courts would in no way interfere with the planned devlopment of major fields. A great deal of money will be spent dur ing the next few years in this line, the plan being Jo construct three terraces starting with the land east of Hayward and rising to the section near the bar racks. Baseball Diamond Included It is hoped to finish the first terrace this spring, in addition to developing a new baseball diamond and a 220 yard straightaway for track work. The girls’ athletic field, which has already been graded, will also be finish ed off and surfaced before summer, ac cording to present intentions. TRACK AWARD CHANGES DRAW MUCH DISCUSSION (Continued from page one.) deserve twice the recognition awarded hard-working half-milers?” Those opposing the amendment con tend that it is not fair to the men who trained faithfully for months to receive their letters just because the team did not win the event, since in other athletic contests, such as football and baseball, a team might not win a single game or an individual might not win a single point, yet all would receive Just Arrived Oriental Incense In following odors: Sandalwood Wistaria Spruce Pine Cones Orange Blossom Spice Bush Insence Burners SERVICE AND QUALITY Domestic Laundry Phone 252 letters. Also they assert that it is not .just to the quarter-miler since he usual ly has but this one opportunity to win his letter—at the coast meet in the re lay race—-and if the team fails he gets no letter no matter how hard or how faithfully he may have worked. It is urged by the student body pres ident that ail students acquaint them selves as far as possible with these amendments, not only with the provi sions themselves, but with the argu ments for and against them by those in position to know more about their ef fect. This will insure a more intelligent vote next Thursday when the students express their opinions by ballot. Last Times TODAY!

Rid it of its red color and the “ principle” of silver would assert itself, so that silver would remain. With a certain amount of philos opher’s stone (itself a mysterious “principle”) a base metal could be converted into a quantity of gold a million times as great. This all sounded so “practical” that Kings listened credulously, but the only tangible result was that they were enriched with much bogus gold. Scientific theorists like Robert Boyle (1627-1691) proved more “practical ” by testing matter, dis covering its composition and then drawing scientific conclusions that could thereafter be usefully and honestly applied. Alchemists con jectured anddied; he experimented and lived. Using the air pump Boyle un dertook a “theoretical” but sci entific experimental study of the atmosphere and discovered that it had a “spring” in it, or in other words that it could expand. He also established the connection between the Boiling point of water and atmospheric pressure, a very “theoretical” discovery in his day but one which every steam engi neer now applies. He was the first to use the term “analysis” in the modern chem ical sense, the first to define an element as a body which cannot be subdivided and from which compounds can be reconstituted. Boyle’s work h^s not ended. Today in the Research Labora tories of the General Electric Company it is being continued. Much light has there been shed on the chemical reactions that occur in a vessel in which a nearly perfect vacuum has been produced. One practical result of this work is the vacuum tube which plays an essential part in radio work and roentgenology. General Generally Electric office Company scki.^t.^Mx * 95-6*5° -3
