THE MICHIGAN DAILY BROWN GIVES REPORTI OF TIMES C CONTESTAVITS ENCOIJRAGEI1) ALI1QWLING DIVISION OF LOCAL PRIZE BYi SECOND TEST ABOLISHED1 Intercollegiate Council of New York Times Current Events Contest Changes Contest Rules Prof. Everett S. Brown, of the polit- ical science department, returned to Ann Arbor yesterday from a meeting of the Intercollegiate Council of the New York Times Current Events Con- test which was held Monday in New York City. Prof. Brown, as chairman of the local committee, represented the Un- iversity of Michigan, while faculty re- presentatives from Amherst, Brown. Bryn Maur, Columbia, Cornell, Chica- go, Dartmouth, Mount Holyoke, Princeton, Smith, Pennsylvania, Vir- ginia, Vassar, Yale, Wellesly, Wil- liams, The United States Military Academy, and The United States Na- val Academy were also present. Changes Are Made Several important changes in the rules covering the contest this year have been made. In an effort to en- courage more students to participate in the contest, it was decided that the local prize of $250.00 at any institu- tion might be divided into as many as three prizes at the discretion of the local committees. Another important change was made by eliminating the second examination. Instead of requiring the winner at each university to take another ex- amination in competition for the prize of $500, as was formerly the case, it was decided to hold just one three hour examination, the questions for which are to be selected by a con- trol committee. The date of the contest was set tentatively at April 27, or 28, 1928.' The period of events to be covered by the examination will be those from May 1, 1927 to the date of the con- test.
