Students of the University of

change in the entrance requirements,
states Judge J. C. Townee, dean of
the department.
Those who began their preparation
for the law department under the
catalog requiring only five academic
courses for admission may enter the
law department this year, but those

Wilson Friday refused to furnish the
house a report on the present ac-
