The defeat of Illinois Saturday bu a 4 to 3 count, gave the Old Gold baseball men their third Big ten triumph and the sixth straight win, including state games. This is an enviable season record for a baseball team and Iowa fans are proud of Jones' proteges. Hamilton pitched for the Hawkeyes at Urbana and was in rare form. Only four hits were allowed to Huff's men while the Iowans nicked Ryan for eight safe clouts. The eighth stanza was the lucky period for Iowa when enough hits were bunched to chase in two runs. This week will be another strenous seven days for the varsity. The first contest is scheduled with Cornell for tomorrow afternoon at 4:10 P. M. Remembering the close ten inning battle of last week, fans are expecting another hard game with the Mt. Vernon crew.

WOMEN NOT TO HOLD DEBATE Women's inter-society debates will not be held this year, owing to a decision of the Women's forensic council last week. Erodelphian, Hesperian, and Athena voted to drop the debates although Whitby and Octave Thanet wished to continue the be held next year as usual. work. It was voted that the debates MRS.

Lois Strait of Fonda has been visiting Bessie Tye at Currier hall for the past few days. REGISTRARS GRANT COLLEGE CREDIT FOR OFFICERS' TRAINING Investigation Was Made of Action Already Taken in Prominent Colleges and Universities NON-COMS ARE INCLUDED Association Advises Caution in Granting Credit in Technical Courses of Professional Colleges Credit will be given to students who attended officers' training camps during the war, according to recommendations adopted by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars at the ninth annual convention at Chicago April 24-26 inclusive. Colleges and universities will doubtless take these recommendations into consideration in many instances, but they will not all adopt them exactly as presented, largely by reason of the fact that many of these institutions have already taken definite action respecting credit to students returning as honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, not fully in accord with these recommendations. Credit Varies An investigation of action taken by almost a hundred institutions represented in this annual meeting revealed a wide diversity of action with reference not only to the amount of credit granted, but also to the conditions under which such credit might be granted and the type of military and naval service for which such credit is allowed. The recommendations of the registrar's association are simple and may be summarized substantially as follows: That while without doubt the various types of officers' training courses had distinctive educational values, and that therefore academic credit might well be allowed to students completing such courses, caution should characterize the allowance of credit against the requirements for graduation, especially in technical and professional courses. That in many professional courses such as law, medicine, and dentistry no credit should be given, while in such technical courses as those in engineering, but very little credit could be given at best. Four to Nine Hours That for the first degree in arts or in science academic credit might be given along about the lines and to about the extent already provided for by such institutions as the University of Illinois, University of California, and Harvard college, in which cases the amount of credit varies from about four semester hours to about nine semester hours, according to the type of officers' training course completed. That distinctively military credit against the ordinary freshman and sophomore requirements in military drill be given for service as privates and non-commissioned officers as well as for service as commissioned officers following the completion of an officers' training course, as the ordinary regulations of the various institutions may permit. That academic credit be limited to the officers' training course but that recognition of other forms of military and naval service should be expressed in a special certificate of the institution's appreciation of the student's patriotism and loyalty.
