handicapped by tho lack of any sort of an auditorium for student meet ings now that we have a very fine one arrangements are going forward to make consistent use of it a committee of the faculty has been working on a plan for weekly or bi-weekly assem blies to be held at the convocation hour on tuesdays anxious that these meet ings shrill fill a real need in the life of the university and that they shall be what the student body desire the fac ulty has asked the student council to cooperate whether these assemblies shall be compulsory or not is ono of tho most serious problems which arises the fac ulty does not wish to be arbitrary in tho matter but desires rather to pre sent the whole question objectively for consideration when the matter was discussed by the student council a straw vote showed only two members not in favor of compulsion it seems rather signifi cant that the students should favor compulsion while the faculty is dis posed to leave the matter optional if that method will work out at all the assemblies after this first one will each have a definitely planned pro gram in which student talent and out side ability will bo presented such pharmacy bulletin to be
