CHANGES MADE I} STANDARDS OF SCHOLARSHI Academic Senate Amends the Rule Regarding Athletes. No Longer Required to Attain Higher Percentage Than Their Fellow Students—Special Exam- inations Barred. —— i BERKELEY, May 14.—Three important changes were made in the administration rules of the University of California at the meeting of the ace morning. The anclent law that required an athlete to h: a higher standgrd in his studies than apy other student was repealed. Since James R. Whipple, last year's football captain, was prevented from playing in the Indian game because his record in studies was.below the mark set for athletes considerable discussion has been indulged in on the subject. morning’s meeting the senate decided that athletes need not have any higher rank than any other student who was allowed to remain in college. Another important action taken was the gauging of marks given the students. Hereafter any student who does not aver- age at least five hours of twos and ones each term will be dropped from the uni- versity rolls. At months, however, if he has made up his work he will be reinstated. This rule ad- mits of no change by any professor or body. It will greatly increase the stand- ard of scholarship. The third change was in doing away with all special examinations. When a student cuts an examination he cannot now get a special examination from some | indulgent professor, but must wait untii the beginning of the next term, when the regular examinations are held, when he may apply for and take an examination. Professor George C. Edwards was made faculty member of the student executive committee. John R. Glascock was made alumni representative of the student exec- J. D.

There is already a shortage of $10,000 in this fund and claims are being held daily because the money due the county canuot be collected. The money received from the State for the support of indigents and half-orphans is apportioned to the hospital fund of the county. When the State fails to make its payments promptly it leaves the hospital fund short. The county now has $17,500 due it, and this claim has been allowed by the Board of Examiners at Sacramento, but the money has not arrived.

PACIFIC MAIL CLERK CONTRACTS SMALLPOX OAKLAND, May 14.—The sight of a yel- | low flag displayed this morning at the res- idence of A. Bolomon, 1401 Eighth avenue, threw the residents of that vicinity into a state of keen excitement. Inquiry discov- ered that young Herbert H. Solomon, a clerk in the employ of the Pacific Mail Bteamship Company, had been stricken with smalipox. Young Solomon has felt badly for sev- eral days, and this morning Dr. W. 8. Porter was summoned to attend him. Pro- nouncing it a case of smallpox the physi- cian immediately took steps for the isola- tion of the patient. The matter was re- ported to the health office and the em- ployes of that department summoned the younger children of the family from school and placarded the house, The supposition is that Solomon con. tracted the disease by handling the mail and advices from China. Dr. Porter re- ra.r‘ds his chances for recovery as excel- ent.

The Citizens' Commlittee of One Hun- dred, which has been considering the question of bonding the city for improve- ments, finally submitted its report to the Council this evening. The report was full of surprises, and the Council will con- sider it at a future meeting. Perhaps the greatest surprise in the re- port was the section in regard to sewers. The committee found the necessity of many sewer improvements, struction of the main lake sewer and pro- viding for storm and sanitary sewers in Cemetery Creek, East Oakland and the | annexed district, but they reported against bonds being issued by the city for the recon- | | | | | i these improvements and in favor of the | work being done by the district assess- ment plan. “Your committee carefully considered the various engineering plans for perfect- | ing our sewer system, but finally came to the conclusion that as all sewer improve- ments had heretofore been made in Oak- land under the district plan, epecially benefited paying therefor, it the parties | would not be advisable for this commit- | tee to propose to the city or to the Coun- cil so radical a change as imposing the charge for constructing the main sewers upon the city at large.
