Voting to Be in Halls After Three
Unsuccessful Ballots at a Meeting





“The election rules of the Undergraduate
Association were changed at a meeting last
Wednesday to provide for voting in the
halls after a meeting of the Association,
at which three ballots have been cast with-
out securing:the required majority for any
one candidate to be elected to the office in
question.

The motion that Article VI, Section la,
of the.election rules of the Undergraduate
Association, which reads, “If after the vote
has been taken for the third. time at one
meeting no candidate has received the re-
quired plurality of twenty, the vote shall
be retaken_at-a-subsequent-meeting not less

dates receives théggrequired plurality,” be

ing no candidate receives the required
plurality of twenty, the.voting shall be con-
tinued in the halls not more than two days
later, until one of the candidates receives
the required plurality,’ was carried. .

ALL FOUR CLASSES TO HAVE MAY-
POLES ON LITTLE MAYDAY

The question of abolishing May-poles for
the three lower classes on Little Mayday,
was discussed at a mass meeting of the
Graduates and Undergraduates on Wednes-
day, April 16.

The question had previously been con-
sidered by each class separately. E. Requa,
'24, President of the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation, reported that the Graduates had
said that they did not care whether they

had a Maypole or not, that the Juniors did

not wish to have one; that the Sophomores
voted to keep theirs, while the the Fresh-
men had voted to do as the Senior class
wanted. -<

The motion that the three lower classes
should keep their May-poles was voted upon
by the classes in question and_carried.

NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES
Lehigh

The old claim that “this hurts me as
much as it does you” has been applied to
education-by Lehigh University professors
who have inaugurated methods inténded to
eliminate the necessity of giving “zeros”
for recitations. An investigation into the
causes of poor préparation for recitations
by apparently conscientious students ~ has
convinced the faculty that in many cases,
“students are conscious that the methods
they employ in studying and their habits
of work and attention are not satisfactory
to themselves and*do not secure the results
which they desire.’ In an announcement
posted recently the Lehigh faculty “ap-
proves the action of the Department of
Psychology and Education in setting apart
hours when students may consult with
members of that department in regard to
methods of study and habits of -work.”

Dartmouth
_ The Dartmouth Educational Committee
is. very obviously not an honorary body
created to let students think they are hav-
ing a hand in their education. The men
on it are taking the thing quite seriously
and-have commenced.their work. “Eleven
_’ members of the undergraduate committee
for the discussion of educational problems
left Hanover to visit various eastern col-
leges” reports The Dartmouth. “Groups
have been sent to Yale, Princeton, Swarth-
more, Cornell, Columbia, C. C. N. Y., and
Barnard, and a group will visit Harvard at

the end of their vacation. The purpose of |:

these trips is to discuss and exchange ideas
with the officers of the institutions visited,
and more especially with undergraduates
who are interested in these problems.

j University of Michigan

The University of Michigan is probably
the first college to adopt the unique plan of
distributing no grades. This system arises
from a desire that students pay less atten-

tion to subjects treated in the course. It
was passed at a meeting of the faculty of
the School of Law, and. will take effect
immediately in that school: By ‘the new
plan, unless a failure is recorded, studen®
ceived in any particular course. They will
will not knoW what: grades they have re-
be.informed only of the number of hours
of each grade which they received during
the semester.

University of Chicago

' The faculty of the University of Chicago
took alarm recently by,, discovery that a
corporation had sent circulars to thousands
of students offering to do their thinking.

All students must write term papers in
their courses and theses in the studies in
which they specialize before receiving de-J
grees. The term papers and theses are, of
course, the big things in the work of under-
graduates-and~aré~supposed to be resiilts
of individual research,

“Give us your subject and $10—we'll do
the rest,” says the corporation.

“We relieve you of all annoying detail.
Just tell us the subject, the length of the
