The Maga zine was one of the three such col lege publications to be given this rat ing out of the 32 entries in the contest. The Mag, in scoring 950 points out cf a possible 1,000, was especially praised by the judges on the general and editorial content. In rating the fictional features of the publication the judges saw fit to give' a score of 90, that is, a superior mark. In com menting on the fiction the judges es pecially remarked on the writings of Irwin Katz, in October, 1939, issue, saying he showed considerable talent. Other work of this type by other student authors was acclaimed because of general effectiveness, good writ ing ability, clear thinking, and, con sistency. The features of the Magazine came in fcr their share of the" honors. The work cf Dorothy Bonnell in the Oc tober, 1939, issue was commented up on highly and the series of "Profes sorial Portraits" which has been run ning in the magazine for some time was called a "good idea." On the score sheet the features were given a superior rating of 65. Want More Editorials The small number, of editorials in each issue was said by the judges to the cnlv fault in this field, but that the hieh desrree of excellence shown in the editorials themselves counterbalanced any other drawback. Those of the November issue of last year came in for particular compli meet by the judges. Writing of a critical type could be enlarged in scope; that is, the cover age cf the magazine could be broad ened to include more fields of partic Continued on page 4, column t) News Briefs Germans Charge Allies Embarked For Norway Before Nazi Invasion (By United Press) .

Most interesting session from the lay point of view promises to be the general session on the Buccaneer which is scheduled for Wednesday night at 8:30 in the .lounge of Graham Memor ial. This is a new addition to the pro gram and will probably be the hottest session of the conference as attackers, defenders and compromise advocates clash in discussion of proposed aboli tion, censorship or laissez-fairel Another innovation which will high light the conference will be the "cross- examination" sessions at which stu dents may ask present officers in the Student council and the student fee ad ministrating bodies the what's, why's, and wherefor's which have been both ering them. Women Included in Conference Women's government and independ ent organizations will be included in the conference this year also for the first time.

By Becky Harward A long-delayed motion to change the date of Student-Faculty day to the fall quarter in order to eliminate "its interference with classwork" will be considered by the University faculty at a general meeting Wednesday afternoon. Charging that when the holiday is observed on a weekday "it ; throws a monkey wrench into labora tory work which is planned week by week," Dr. J. F. Dashiell of the psy chology department will suggest that the date fall on a Saturday, prefer ably but not necessarily when a home football game is scheduled. Dr. Dashiell, who introduced the pro posal last September, explained that he believed the fall quarter holiday would not cause as serious an inter ruption in classwork, because that quarter, is longer than the other two. "It would seem best to put it on a Saturday," he said, "because when it comes on a weekday, it throws a mon key wrench into laboratory work which is planned week by week. Indeed, put ting it on this day might be a test of student sincerity. "Whether or not the Saturday be a football date here is not the issue," he continued. "The most important point is that Student-Faculty day should come in the fall." - :. Dr. Dashiell emphasized that he was not opposing the principle of Student Faculty day. "In general, I should like to see it continued," he said, "but I also should like to see the elimination of its interference with classwork." The date for the holiday is set by a committee composed of both students and faculty members working in coop-. eration with the faculty. In the past the celebration has always taken place on a weekday in the winter or spring quarters. Recommendation to Committee If the motion for the change were passed by the faculty, it would be sub mitted as a recommendation to the Student-faculty committee. The motion has been postponed since September because it was preceded by other matters of business and because Dr. Dashiell has been absent from the past two meetings. The annual holiday was begun four years ago in an effort to better rela tions between students and faculty. It has been under fire continuously from those who did not believe it was suc cessful or that students and faculty members were cooperating. Many observers considered this year's holiday the most successful of any, pointing out the large crowds attending all phases of the program and picturing them as the most en thusiastic participants in the holiday yet.
