THE BATTALION 1 WEEK’S NEWS (Continued from Page 2) mine their mental levels and scholar ship progress. No arbitrary limiting rule has been adopted by the Uni versity, but the test enables the best students to carry forward their work, j while the low grade students are soon dropped. The mental tests are admin istered ajlike to students from all States, and Texans have made the highest scores. While girls make the higher general averages, a man has always made the highest mark in the psycological examination. It has been shown that eighty per cent of the failures in courses are by students who made low scores on the mental tests, while the leaders in all classes come from those who make a high grade on the test. The report made by Dean Allen to President Brooks also refutes the ar gument that athletes are weak stu dents. The general average of the University letter men was almost eighty, or seven points below the av erage of the honor students, and two points above the general average. Failures in two of three subjects eliminate men and women students automatically. Some other causes for suspension other than failure in courses are—chapel cutting, class cutting, night riding and other more serious offenses, while even one man was suspended for violating the an ti-marriage rule. ❖ * * ❖ T. C. U. Juniors Excused from Chapel Service. The Seniors and graduate students cf Texas Christian University will not be the only lucky ones this year, as Juniors will also be excused from chapel service, Dr. E. M. Waites, pres ident of the university has announced. Those who desire to be excused will spend the hour in the library, and must file their names with the reg istrar. Attendance will be checked in the library, and students who do not report there at chapel hour will be charged with absences, as is done in checking chapel rolls. For each un excused absence after the first three, one semester hour will be deducted from the student’s credit. * * >!> The Dramatic Club will give two one-act plays on Thursday, October 27, in the Y. M. C. A. parlors. One of these will be a Schnitzler play and the other an American farce. Mrs. F. L. Thomas is the publicity director and the public is invited to attend. THE longer you smoke Prince Albert, the more convinced you become that it is the most satis fying tobacco that ever nestled in the bowl of a jimmy-pipe. You get a brand-new thrill every time you open the tidy red tin and breathe that wonderful aroma. And when you tuck a load into the business-end of your pipe, light up, and open the drafts— say, Mister! Cool as a letter from home, telling you to cut down your expenses. Sweet as an unex pected check in the next mail. Sweet and mild and long-burning. So mild, in fact, that it never bites your tongue or parches your throat, no matter how swift your pipe-pace. Yet it has that full, rich tobacco-body that lets you know you’re smoking and makes you glad you are. Try Prince Albert, Fellows, and get the joy that’s due you! Buy a tin today and get started! P. A. is sold every where in tidy red tins, pound and half-pound tin humidors, and pound cry stal - glass humidors with sponge- moistener top. And always with every bit of bite and parch re moved by the Prince Albert process. — no other tobacco is like it l © 1927, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston-Salem, N.
