Texans Favor
No Restriction
On Attendance
By ANNA MAE HALVERSEN
“Do you think the university
should allow students who are pas
sing in their work to attend classes
at their will?” was the recent ques
tion asked students at the Univer
sity :of Texas by the bureau of stu
dent opinion. The students replied:
Yes .70.1 per cent
No . 26.4 per cent
No opinion. 3.5 per cent
Nearly 10 per cent more wo
men than men favored the plan.
Of the coeds questioned, 76.5 per
cent said “yes,” while only 67.2
per cent of the men answered in
The University of Chicago now
employs such a system of volun
tary class attendance.
Getting the work, not attending
classes should be the purpose of
coming to the university, was the'
reason given by the majority fa-1
voring the plan at the Texas j
school.
Among Tricks
A prankish fraternity at the Uni-:
versity of Michigan registered a
fictitious name in the register. For
the next four years they sent their
pledges to attend classes in which
the name was registered. At the
end of four years the name was
graduated with honors.
Graduate at 17
Edger Zodiag Friedenberg, 17
years old and youngest member
ever to read a paper before the
American Chemical society, is
planning to enter Stanford’s gradu
ate school of chemistry in the fall.
Friedenberg, who will graduate
from Centenary college in May,
criticized scientists in his paper for
writing in jargon, rather than un
derstandable English.
Editor Disclaims
All Responsibility
For Frosh Paper
It’s a frosh Emerald from
cover to cover tomorrow.
With the last regular issue of
the paper put out last night by
the regular staff of combined
frosh and upper classmen, the
first-year staff members will
have their own special variety
of Emerald, the annual frosh
edition.
With first-year men in the
editorial positions, a 100 per
cent frosh staff, and a stream
lined head schedule, anything
can happen as the embryo jour
nalists wind up their first year
of work on the paper.
The regular staff, watching
from the sidelines, disclaims any
responsibility for whatever the
special crew may do tonight.
The frosh are in charge, and
they wil do things they have
planned to do throughout the
year, regardless of the policy of
the paper.
It is with a silent prayer that
the tiller is turned over to Frosh
Editor Gordon Ridgeway and
Frosh Managing Editor Lyle
Nelson.
BE ON TIME TOO!!
You pay for flowers, taxis, din
ner and the Mortar Board.ticket,
and we’ll go with you tomorrow.

Plan Will Standardize Minor Payments as
Library, Gym, Health Service Charges?.
Set-Up Is State-Wide
University students, whether registering in upper or lower divi-*
sion, will pay a flat fee of $32 at registration next fall, it was learned
from the University business office yesterday.
Adopted to standardize the system of minor fee payments, the*
new schedule calls for equal payments by all undergraduates. The
lump registration fee will entitle the payer to health service, use ci
the library, and use of gym suit and equipment. The old gym suit xeo
in use up to the present time has been abolished as such.
The new arrangement was approved this spring and is entered

Adoption of the standardized
system followed a recommenda

nittee representing the University,

office said. The committee worked

study of the fees question.
The elimination of minor feea

business manager. Lindstrom said

dergraduate registered in the Uni
versity or the State college will
be a 100 per cent payer of the full
