spring, if plans, brought forward at
the conference of Deans yesterday,
materialize. The exact nature of the
proposed convocation has not been de-
cided upon as yet. It is thought, how-
ever, that the names of those elected
to Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, and
other honorary scholastic societies,
will be read.
The University has never held such
a convocation, although the matter
has been considered twice in previous
years. It is understood that several
other Universities throughout the
country have similar means of honor-
ing scholastic excellence.
Deans to Handle
It was also decided in the meeting
that hereafter the administration of
scholarships should be in the hands
of the deans of the several depart-
meats. It is planned, in tie future, to
state more clearly in the University
catalogue the qualifications necessary
to application for them, and the rules
governing their administration.

The definite meaning of the word
"student" when used in matters con-
cerning enumeration or enrollment
was also. determined. Thereafter, the
word will be used to designate only
those who have completed, or who
have definite intentions of completng,
some regular period of study (semes-
ter, year, or session). Hitherto, per-
sons enrolled in extension courses and
other irregular courses of study have
been included in the complete e..-
rollment.

letics has given permission for the
fair to be held in the Yost field house
and the plan has already been ap-
proved individually by many members
of the faculty. The Board of Gov-
ernors of thIe Uinion will meet tonight
to further consider the proposition..
The Board of Directors will come to-
gether Saturday morning.
According to present plans, the fair
will be held shortly after Christmas
vacation if the amount needed to con-
plete the pool has not been raised by
that timp. Fraternities and campus
groups' will cooperate in running side
shows and entertainments.
A report was made to the council
on the bucket collection made at
Ferry field last Saturday to send the
band to the Iowa and Wisconsin
games. The committee reported that
although many generous contributions
were received the necessary amount
needed to insure both trips was not
reached.
The original plan of the council was
to pass buckets in the stands between
halves but it was amended by the
Board in Control of Athletics with
the belief that such a means of col-
lection would inconvenience the spec-
tators, while seated in the stands.
The men who were stationed with
buckets at all of the gates both inside
and out said that practically everyone
who pasted gave something either
coming in or leaving the field. It is
the belief of the committee, however,
that many people were missed due to
the jam at these times at the gates
and that had the .original plan been
allowed the sum would have been
raised.
A report was heard from the cheer-
leader committee.
