Use Found for Hole

By easy stages we have learned

only to ascertain what it IS for. By
the way, the omission of the steam-

the shovel we are talking about.

Advanced Accounting
to Be New Elective

“Advanced Accounting” will be a
new elective offered next semester
by the social science department for
students who have completed Social
Science 103. Mr. B. E. Goetz, who
will be the instructor, has announced
that the course will be as compre-
hensive as is possible in one semes-
ter and will include such topics. as
Accounting, Classification, Valua»
tion of Accounts, Interpretation of
Accounts, and some work on budgets
and Accounting ratios. The prob-
able text is one entitled, “Account-
ing Method,” by Rufus Rorem.

“As accounting can only be per-
manently learned through the solu-
tion of many problems, the course
will be largely based on that prin—

Photography Group
Named ”Armour Eye”

 

“Armour Eye,” the new photogra-
phy club, will elect its officers at a
meeting to be held next Thursday at
12:20 o’clock in the physics lecture
room. This meeting will be the last
for the acceptance of charter mem—
hers.

Last Thursday at a noon-hour meet-
ing, the constitution of the club was
accepted. The group has decided to
have twenty~flve active members and
any number of student and faculty
sustaining members. Meetings of the
club will he held at noon every sec—
