' Outlining briefly the situa tion which has led to changes in curricula at the University, Dean A. W. Hobbs of the col lege of liberal arts spoke to the Di senate last Tuesday night. Hobbs stated that the Uni versity had been going along with a curriculum which had been fixed by old classical tra ditions but which had not pro duced the desired results. Stagnant Methods Stating that the effort at the present time is to bring the col lege courses into line with the modern world, the liberal arts school head pointed out that the world has been changing at an accelerated rate while educa tional methods have been stand ing still. The new curriculum, whose central idea is to make unity be tween high school preparation and the first two years of col lege, lays emphasis on the three essentials of a college course, language, science, and history or social science, according, to Hobbs. Dean Hobbs pointed out spe cial changes in curricula and said that the new changes would start affecting the first-year men next fall.

"Breeches" Bible In Library Collection Of Rarities - Many Volumes from Earliest Printing Presses Found in Hanes Collection Which Also Contains Ancient Babylonian Clay Tablets; Famous Autographs Recently Acquired. o "Although the 'Breeches' Bi- ble is far better known, we have several books in the library which are doubtless more valu able," said R. B. Downs. The "Breeches" Bible, it will be re called, was ordered burned by Queen Elizabeth, England's dubiously moral virgin queen. In a chapter of Genesis, one of the verses reads, "And they made themselves breeches of fig leaves," a. statement which offended the maidenly sense of decency of the queen. All copies available were heaped in a pile in London and were burned. A few copies somehow were saved, of which, the library owns one. The nucleus of the rare books of the library is the Hanes Collection,- founded by the " Hanes family of Winston Salem.

Students recently elected to campus positions will.be induct ed into office in a special cere mony in Memorial hall next Wednesday, it was announced yesterday by Harper Barnes. Publication officials, class of ficers, and other new campus leaders will be officially installed into office. . . Barnes, the outgoing student body president, will make his farewell address;, and Virgil ! Weathers, the new student head, in assuming office will make his maiden speech to individuals in. the University.

JUDICIAL POWER GIVENTOCOUNCIL Students Vote, 172-32, to Give Group Right to Settle Disputes on Campus. Power was given the Student council to make rulings " over all disputed acts of campus of ficers and student committees, subject to referendum of the student body, as a result of a special election held yesterday at Graham Memorial in which 204 votes were cast. One hundred and seventy-two students f cast their ballots for the plan of centralizing power in University student govern ment, and 32 were against the proposal. The vote yesterday gives the Student council the power to set tle disputes and make rulings on arguments that arise among stu dent committees and other stu dent bodies on the campus, and the right to legislate on disputed actions of student officials. The student body, however, will have veto power over the council's ruling. Barnes' Plan , The centralization plan is the result of suggestions made by Harper Barnes, president of the student body, and members on the present Student council. In the past the council has made rulings on student disputes on the campus, but has not been authorized officially to do so. The proposal on the ballots read as follows and individuals registered whether they ap proved or disapproved of it: "In case of a dispute as to the action of any student officer or the governing board of any student activity, the Student council shall make a definite rul ing subject to referendum of the student body." The plan to reorganize the Student Activities committee was not voted upon yesterday, because of matters being clear ed up in regard to electing stu dent members on the board. Co-eds Elect Nelson And Taylor in Run-off In a close co-ed run-off elec tion yesterday Isabel Nelson defeated Lois Byrd for house president of Spencer hall, 50-48, and by a slightly greater mar gin Harriet Taylor won-over Nancy Gordon, 53-46, for- .'the secretaryship of the Woman's association. TRABUESUGGMS CURE FOR CRIME AT mms HERE Offers Vocational Guidance 3 Crime Solution Before Edu cation Conference. BRADSHAW ALSO SPEAKS -Vocational guidance wa3 of fered yesterday by Dr. Marion R. Trabue, noted authority in educational research, as a solu tion for many of the problems of crime. "If we can find out what an individual can do best and enjoy doing at the same time and then connect him with that job, how ever menial it may be, he shall be going a long way toward sol ving many of our social prob lems; and yet that is but the ultimate goal of vocational guid ance," Dr. Trabue, director of the bureau of Educational Re search of the University depart ment of education, asserted in an address before the Southern Regional conference on Voca tional Guidance and Education being held here this week under the auspices of the National Oc cupational conference. Over 100 Present More than 100 leaders in edu cation and industry, represent ing 17 southern states and sev eral northern and western states, are in attendance. Dr. Trabue, who a year ago completed a two-year stabliza tion research study in unemploy ment for the University of Min nesota that attracted nation wide favorable comment, told the conference that "the values of vocational testing and guid- ance programs, wnicn are in tended to determine the occupa tion for which an individual is best fitted and help him adjust himself, are already widely rec ognized by leaders in industry and education throughout the country." Dr. Donald G. Paterson, pro fessor of psychology in the Uni versity of Minnesota, another speaker on yesterday's program, pictured the need of a bureau of standards to co-ordinate vari ous educational testing pro grams. Vocational testing has lagged behind intelligence test ing but it will continue to im prove in the light of improved methods being obtained through research, he said. Reports of Progress Reports on the progress of vocational guidance were made at group meetings by represent atives from West Virginia, Ten nessee, Alabama, Virginia, Lou isiana and North Carolina. Paul S. Achilles, managing director of the Psychological Corporation of New York, pre sided at yesterday's session. Speakers at last night's ses sion, presided over by H. Reid Hunter, assistant superinten dent of schools, . Atlanta, Ga4 were: Francis F. Bradshaw, dean of students, who told of the organization of student per sonnel work in the colleges, and Dr. -Richard D. Allen, assistant superintendent of schools, Provi dence, R.
