Last year J. A. Clutter of the dairy
husbandry department, who during
ins college career at Ames, Iowa,
proved one of the best track men in
that section, coached the track squad.

second place in the State meet. Clut
ter has just returned from Iowa,
where he underwent an operation for

ranged for the Glee Club trip in North

T. C. U. PLANNING
MANY INNOVATIONS
Texas Christian University, Feb. 3.
—Recommendation will be made by
the faculty of the university to the
hoard of trustees at their meeting this
month that they provide for six days
of school a week instead of five, as is
now the rule. The faculty will also
ask that the year be divided into four
terms of twelve weeks each and that
the session extend throughout the en
tire year.
This plan is different from any in
practice in Texas colleges, as it makes
provision for a summer term which
would be on the same basis as any
of the other terms. By this arrange
ment a student could either go to
school the entire year or take a three
months’ vacation at any of the four
seasons he chose. All of the four
terms will be on the same standing
and as complete in themselves as pos
sible.
If the six days a week plan is adopt
ed by the hoard, the dean announces
that all courses will be arranged so as
to fall on alternate days three times
a week. If the four terms a year plan
is adopted, each course will complete
itself in three months, as near as pos
sible.
Dedicated Bible Hall.
Dedication services for the new
Brite College of the Bible, affiliated
with Texas Christian University, were
held in the auditorium of the univer
sity Tuesday morning and afternoon.
The new modern building for the col
lege has just been completed and is
being thoroly equipped for the sole use
of the ministerial students.
To Give Spanish Play.
Members of the advanced Spanish
classes in the university will form the
cast in a play to he given before the
students in the auditorium next Tues
day. The play will be staged under
the auspices of the Spanish Society.
The actors will speak in Spanish.
Gym Work for Co-Eds.
At last Texas Christian University’s
fair co-eds are to have the physical
training and gym work which has
long been promised them and which
they have looked forward to as an un
realizable dream. Miss Ruth Hum
phrey has been obtained by the uni
versity to direct the gym work of the
young ladies and is now organizing
her classes.

“How about the new cook?”
“She says she wants three nights
out a week, beefsteak at every meal
and a room with southern exposure.”
“Has she any references?”
“No; all she has is preferences.”—
