The Administration No year fails to bring with it some new and definite progressive step which is of benefit to the students. This year has been no exception to the rule. Two actions have been outstanding among those taken during the past year. Both moves are directly beneficial to the students and deserve the thanks and appreciation of each member in the university. Starting this year, two members of the junior class and two members of the senior class are to be chosen as student representatives on the Disciplinary Committee. Discipline, then, becomes a matter not entirely removed from the hands of the students. Rather, a student who presents a disciplinary problem is definitely represented by his fellow students on the committee. Any such troublesome student has the privilege of taking his problem before this student group before it is discussed in the Disciplinary Committee. The second of these actions indicative of the forward policy of the DePauw ad- ministration is in regard to the use of Bowman Memorial Gymnasium. Until the latter part of this year, the university has furnished no means of entertainment for Sunday afternoon, with the exception of an occasional forum, debate, or imported speaker. This year has brought with it new and interesting opportunities for spending one ' s Sunday afternoons. The program which has been instigated includes all students in the University, both men and women. The gym is opened from one o ' clock until five o ' clock for the use of the students. Regular hours have been set which are reserved for the special use of the women, and others exclusively for the men, while still others have been set aside for the use of the men and women together. Not only are the facilities of the gymnasium proper used, but also the swimming pool and the bowling alley are available. Only opinions of a favorable nature have been offered by the students since these two outstanding policies have been adopted, and thanks should surely be offered here for the progressive nature of our administration.
