PLAN PROVES SUCCESS
Registrar to Issue Schedules
of Final Examinations
During Week.
Classification for the second
semester will begin on Tuesday
morning for seniors, Dec. 8 for jun-
iors, and Dec. 15 for sophomores,
Daniel L. Rich, director of classifi-
cation, stated yesterday. The same
system as was followed last year
at both the fail and spring classi-
fication periods will be used dur-
ing the coming period.
Exaination -chedu es forthe
first semester will be issued later
this week, Rich satel, and will be
available in the office of the regis-
trar, Room 4 University hall.
Seniors Begin Tuesday.
Seniors will begin classification
at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning and
will continue through Saturday. No
other classes will be allowed to
classify until aftr the date pre-
scribed for each group. Last year
more than 90 per cent of the 1.000
seniors in the literary college fin-
ished classification b e f o r e the
Christmas holidays and an even
greater number is anticipated this
fall.
In the spring classifications. an
innovation last year, more than
three-fourths of the literary college
students were scheduled before the
close of the second semester. This
decrease from the number of clas-
sifications recorded last December
fcr the second semester was due.
Rich said, to the fact that fewer
students were sure of what courses
they pan to follow after the sum-
mer vacation than between semes-
ters. Changes and revisions of
classification also accounted for
the decreased efficiency of the
spring pre-classification period.
To Classiy in Room 4.
Classification will be carried on
in the office of the registrar, Room
4, University hall instead of the
Waterman gymnasium as during
the first week of the present se-
mester. Early classification is urg-
ed by Director Rich because of the
availability of convenient class
hours during the first few days in
the scheduling of each group. Con-
flicts were less numerous last year
following the early classification
than in past years when schedules
were made out during the week be-
tween semesters.
Boards and cards for the classi-
fication operations were complete-
ly installed yesterday in the regis-
trar's office, while all changes in
class and course statistics have
been carefully checked and revised
Students are urged to use the cata-
logues issued to them during the

Failure of this year's football re-
ceipts to reach the expected
amount has forced Purdue uni-
versity to abandon all sports for
this year and probably next, Ath-
letic Director M. A. Kellogg
said today. An unofficial check
showed a decrease of about $97,-
000 in the amount derived from
football.
Minor Sports Dropped.
Sports to be abandoned include
baseball, track, cross country, swim-
m i n g, water polo, gymnastics,
wrestling, tennis, golf, and fenc-
ing. Available funds, the athletic
director said, will be used in de-
velopment of intramural sports
competition in these sports. Bas-
ketball will not be affected, Kel-
log said.
.Depend on.Good Revenue.
Maintenance of minor sports de-
pends almost entirely upon foot-
ball receipts, Kellogg said, since all
of them have been a loss. It had
been believed at first, the athletic
director said, that even the re-
duced football dividends might
Support the athletic budget, but in-
vestigation revealed that if minor
sports were contined it would mean
in addition to the $40,000 deficit in

a secret meeting of temperance

with the anti-prohibitionists in
having Congress provide for a na-

One of the conferees, Oliver

proposal and said in a statement
he believed "the Drys would fight to

Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secre-
