Dr. Libby Urges Legal Channels In Withdrawing
Veterans planning to withdraw from school before the end of the term, or those having already withdrawn, are urged to do so through official channels, Dr, Phillip Libby, coordinator of veterans affairs, announced yesterday.
Some students have dropped school without going through the proper procedure and as a result will automatically become ineligible for benefits under the G.l. bill.
Students who are suddenly called away and cannot return to withdraw for themselves should write Dr. Libby who will attend to it for them. In this way they will not receive failing grades and remain eligible for the G.l. bill.

"The word, ‘daisy',” according to Dr. Baxter, “originally meant ‘the eye of the day.’ “Currant.” which we know as a small, raisin-like fruit used in some cakes, meant ‘a little fruit from Corinth’ to the ancient Anglo-Saxons. Many modem W’ords of more common usage had some literal meaning at that time which corresponds to the meaning we give them today. “Neighbor,’ for example, meant ‘the farmer next door’ and that is a meaning that makes an acceptable definition.”

Registration for the right to vote in the forthcoming student elections will start on May 1 and continue through May 8, Allen Kotler, elections commissioner, announced yesterday.
“Every effort is being made to keep the elections straight this year, so the elections committee is asking all students to submit any suggestions they may have that might help us run the elections more efficiently,” continued Kotler. All suggestions wrill be considered by the elections committee, and those judged as practical will be used. They may be turned in to any member of the elections committee or the office of the student body president, 235 Student Union.

Dr. Neumann, Author Of ‘Six of Them/ Will Witness Interpretation
One of the prominent German authors who found a refuge from the Nazi terrorists by fleeing before their marauding armies, Dr. Alfred Neumann, will be present in the art and lecture room of the University library at 3:15 this afternoon when his recent novel, “Six of Them,” will be discussed in the fifth of the current interpretation series.
Dr. Neumann will be the guest of Dr. Anatol Murad, professor of economics, who will interpret the book. Dr. Murad, a friend of the author, translated “Six of Them" into English. The presence of both the author ai\d the translator is expected to add considerably to the interest and authenticity of the interpretation.
The novel is the account of a student rebellion against the Nazis which took place at the University of Munich in February, 1943. The story has been put into the form of fiction in order to protect the persons involved, but it is based on actual facts and real events. ELUDE GESTAPO

Oil Executives Brief Students
/
The University’s petroleum engineers were advised yesterday to keep their noses to the textbook grindstone and prepare themselves for a future in the oil industry via unchanging scientific fundamentals during a Harris hall forum where four executives of the industry offered pointers to prospective oilmen.
All four guest speakers, Hugh Colvin, economist with the Union Oil Company, R. C. McCurdy of the Shell Oil Company, David Day, manufacturing vice-president for the Richfield Oil Company and H. O. Grimsley, manager of the marketing division of General Petroleum, stressed the fact that a basic scientific education and unchanging technique, is vital in the ever-changing oil industry.
Top men of the oil industry are men who are versed in every phase of the engineering field. They must be versatile, especially those who enter into small refineries where specialization is limited, they told the audience.
Introduced by Chancellor Rufus ! R. von KleinSmid, the first speaker of this cooperative enterprise between the University and the Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce was economist Hugh Colvin who stated that “without oil, indus-lan, and Don Combs, visited Mr. j try st0ps ”

Peter Lawford Aids Star Trio

“Our cities are sick,” declared Dean Gallion. “Today they are faced with the tremendous problem of expansion and the lack of modernization, and only through civic pride, public opinion, and the process of law can we, as individuals, employ the pressure necessary to realize the proper rebuilding of our metropolitan areas.”
MAJOR PROBLEMS
Congestion, blight, housing, and traffic perils were named as the four major problems confronting the urban areas. “These problems are not new,” Dean Gallion said, “but rather a result of retrogressive neglect by the people.”
Environment, in which the people of cities live and work, has played an important part in determining this neglect. The modern city of tomorrow will be the result of conscientious effort on the part of the public to make the cities a place in which to live as well as work, said Dean Gallion.	*
INFORMAL LECTURE
This lecture is open to all students, faculty members, and the general public. It will be conducted on an informal basis and will be approached from a non-technical view-point, in a manner comprehensible to everyone. Their purpose, according to Dr. Harold von Hofe, head of the German department, is to provide students with information on such topics as they might not encounter in their normal course of study.
The lecture series, will continue on May 2 with the author of “Plato Versus Dionysius,” Dr. Ludwig Marcuse, presenting a lecture entitled “Affection and Bitterness of a German.”
On May 9 Dr. Harold E. Briggs,
assistant professor of English will discuss “What Killed John Keats?"
Parking Drive Shows Results
Dr. Albert Zech, assistant to tha dean of men, has announced “very good results” in the drive to reduce parking violations on campus and declares that the Daily Trojan has been instrumental in improving the situation.
“It has not been necessary to suspend any students from the university,” Dr. Zech said, “because the response to issued parking tags has been satisfactory.
COOPERATION
Formerly it was the habit of some students to ignore the tags which were placed on their cars, and it was announced that severe punitive measures would be exacted against Trojans who practiced this defiance of regulations. The publicity given to these matters has resulted in what Dr. Zech describes as “100 per cent cooperation” on the part of drivers who have been cited for illegal parking.
Dr. Zech explained that the office of the dean of men has been contacting the appropriate university officials about taking certain steps to alleviate th* critical situation. He announced that traffic rules and regulations are going to be printed upon red signs which will be posted in areas where there has previously existed any doubt about parking.
LIME SHORTAGE
All parking lots will be lined as soon as the lime is available, and the practicality of widening park-ing-lot entrances is under discussion, according to Dr. Zech.
“With enough student cooperation,’’ he concluded, “we ll possibly be able to dispense with the need of distributing parking tags.”
