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 first sm ester's classification fo their scheduling dring December The sami~e method of advisor's ap- proval will be followed next week as was used in September and May SOVIET TRAGEDY SHOWN IN TRIAL Maladjustment of Intellectual Scen in Proceedings.

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.
