Included in their show will be demonstrations of' surface tension, core analysis, and the display of their equipment. H. Peters is in charge of this show. The Electrical Engineering De partment has scheduled 26 exhibits to form perhaps the largest of the department exhibits. Among the attractions will be polarized light, high voltage, heat motors, radio frequency healing, and various trick devices. Gilbert P. Rhoten is in charge. Surveying the prospects it is easy to see that these exhibits will be highly interesting to all visitors, and they will prove real entertainment for the visiting par ents on Parents’ Day.

Williams Will Deliver Baccalaureate Sermon Before Exercises Dr. C. E. Friley, president of Iowa State College at Ames, Iowa, has been announced as the speaker for the Commencement exercises at Texas A. & M. College to be held in the Kyle Field stadium Friday night, May 31. Dr. Friley was formerly dean of the School of Arts and Sciences and registrar at Texas A. & M. That same morning Rev. S. W. Williams, D. D., pastor of the First Methodist Church of Brownwood, will deliver the Baccalaureate ser mon to the class of 700 in Guion Hall on the campus. Rev. Williams is the father of one of the members of the class. Durward B. Varner of Cotton wood, cadet colonel of the A. & M. cadet corps, and basketball cap tain in 1939-40, will deliver the valedictory address during the ex ercises in the stadium. A change of plans has moved the date of the graduation exer cises from June 7, the date pub lished in the college catalogue, to May 31, one week earlier, as all of the graduates will finish their school work by that date. On Saturday morning, June 1, members of the graduating class who have completed the advance courses in military training and have satisfied other requirements will receive commissions as sec ond lieutenants in the Officers’ Re serve Corps. Following the presen tation the Final Review of the Class Absences Are More Discretionary Matters, Says Prof Although college and university cut regulations vary in length and complexity, the general tendency in most is to make the subject of unexcused class absences increas ingly a discretionary matter be tween students and officials of the institution. This is the finding of Haverford College’s Dean H. Tatnall Brown in questionnaires returned by 16 institutions. Academic standing of the stu dent largely determines the de gree to which he will be entrusted with keeping his class appointments as he sees fit. In this respect, half of the in stitutions answering the question naire—Bowdoin, Wesleyan, Yale, Williams, Princeton, Lafayette, Le high, and Smith—grant special privileges regarding classroom ab sences to undergraduates on a so- called Dean’s List or Honor Roll. The remaining eight either ex empt students doing honor work or leave it up to the professor to de termine whether or not a member of his class is impairing his scholas tic standing by the failure to attend lectures. None of the colleges or univer sities supplying information, how ever, grants the student an unlimit ed cut allowance. Freshmen in order to qualify for a Dean’s List are usually required Fingerprints of 2,000 open house visitors were made by Police club members at Los Angeles City Col lege. Simmons College freshmen ob serve May Day by hanging May baskets on the doors of their jun ior sisters. to score grades higher than those demanded of upperclassmen. Cutting classes immediately pre ceding and following a vacation without a valid excuse is forbidden by all 16 institutions. Penalties range from lowered grades and even a failure at Swarthmore, Mount Holyoke, and Lafayette to curtailment and possible loss of cutting privileges at Bryn Mawr. Well, He Probably Got A True Picture Anyhow The royal flush is said to be re flected in a few faces down Stan ford way. During exams recently a bunch of boys in the dorm were having a little poker session when they heard a knock. “Who the devil is it?” one of the boys yelled. The knock was repeated. “Well, come in.” They came in—the president of Stanford and the prexy of Rochest er University. Dr. Wilbur (Stan ford) had wanted to show his col league what a typical Stanford dormitory looks like. Professor Harold Hibbert of Mc Gill University has a process for liquefying wood.
