The Di senate passed through one of the most heated sessions it has witnessed this year at its meeting Tuesday night in a two hour discussion of the bill, Resolved: That the curriculum of the college of liberal arts be revised so that students can take either Latin or Greek in the place of mathematics and so that only one language will be required. The bill was finally tabled for further discussion at the next meeting. The senate from the very first resolved itself into two distinct ly differing groups, the one de fending the bill on the grounds that such a plan would enable the student to follow the line of study in which he felt the great est interest and would permit him to pass more rapidly into the field in which he intends to major, the other attacking the query on the grounds that by such an action the college would be doing away with a part of the curriculum which is essential to any cultural education. Bahnson Speaks Before the senate entered its debate Agnew Bahnson, presi dent of the University club, spoke on the topic, "Possible Ways of Co-operation Between the Di senate and the Univer sity club." He placed three pro posals before the group wbfch are as follows: (1) checking campus opinion on the projects of the club through discussion in the senate, (2) bringing pro jects up in the senate which the club can carry out, and (3) in corporating the senators as executives in the club.
