REQUESTS
After consultation with his adviser, each student should make a list of the courses he would like to take this fall and register in the College office by noon on Saturday.
Members of the faculty and others not students who want to attend classes this fall should hand in their lists of courses desired to Anne Mangold. Naturally, the students’ schedules must be given first consideration.
Mrs Mattison requests that all teachers and students hand in to her in her office (Room 112, Studies building) notes for news items on the College. Her office hours are from 9:00 to 12:00 on weekday mornings.
The corridors of the Studies building and the lodges should be completely cleared of boxes and trunks by noon on Saturday to conform with the state fire regulations.

TONIGHT’S FACULTY MEETING
To be Scheduled:
Placement examinations in tool English tool mathematics
Senior division examinations
To be announced:
Senior division examinations (John Evarts)
Poll-tax protest (Bob Marden)
To discussion:
The community work program. Recommendations: The average amount of time per week that should be spent on community work by the students has not yet been decided, but since it may be economically necessary to have as much as 15 hours a week later, even if not at first, it is suggested that the schedule be drawn up so that everyone have four half-days per week free of classes. One of them may be Saturday morning, but Saturday afternoon should not count. It might be best to leave the decision about whether to schedule classes on Saturdays to the schedule committee, as the work program can function either way. The length of the afternoon work is assumed to be 3 ¾ hours on the job.
The permanent fall quarter schedule.
Student Load: should there be a minimum and a maximum number of hours of classwork per week for students?
The College and its relation to the military services (Fred Mangold)
The next faculty meeting: items for discussion.

GENERAL
The Board of Fellows announces the granting of a leave of absence to Fred Mangold who is being considered by the Board of Economic Warfare for the position of Requirements Officer in Mexico City for the duration of the War.
