The new booths are in front of the law building and at the front and side entrances to the university library. Contribution boxes are located alongside cash regis ters in the Student Union, Town and Gown. Ballards. Hamburger Host, Wheel, and Horse cafes.
Herb Hynson, director of the Chest, expressed the hope that donations w’ould reach the $10,000 mark by Friday, the closing day of the drive.
Thursday, hand-knitted argyle socks will be auctioned off at noon in front of Bovard auditorium. The socks were knitted and donated by members of sororities and women's residence halls.

The current drive combines all official student drive for the year. Plans for allocation of donations were mapped by a student allocation board with the advice of the student executive council and members of the faculty.
MANCHESTER, N. H„ Mar,
; (Ui?)—Gov. Thomas E. Dewey took ! a commanding lead tonight in the j nation’s first presidential primary I and a Harold E. Stassen backer j predicted the New Yorker would have five of New Hampshire’s eight delegates to the GOP national convention.
With a quarter of the state counted. Dewey had a 7-1 lead over Stassen in the duel for delegates.
GOP national committeeman Frank J. Sulloway of Concord, who was believed to have had the best chance of any Stassen supporter, was trailing in the fight for election as a delegate-at-large. He said that Dewey seemed certain to take “five and probably six” of the delegates.
The Dewey show of strength—
9— especially in the cities—was disquieting to supporters of the Minnesotan since observers had said that he must corral at least three delegates to maintain his political prestige. Stassen’s strength, they believed. lay in the cities.
Democrats also were electing delegates to their national convention but sole interest in the balloting lay in the battle between Dewey and Stassen since all Democratic candidates were pledged to President Truman.
Despite the fact that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower had refused to accept a nomination, three Republican candidates were pledged to him. Another unpledged candidate said he favored the nomination of Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg. However, the Eisenhower candidates
for delegate to the Republican national convention were running far behind.
Confidence of the Stassen supporters was short-lived when the former Minnesota governor’s early lead disappeared under an onslaught of Dewey votes.
Stassen carried the so-called “barometer town” of Roxbury with a population of 115 votes. Roxbury gave Stassen six national convention delegates.
As more complete returns were tabulated and Dewey delegates forged ahead, political observers expressed surprise at the somewhat unexpected strength of the New York governor. He was expected to gamer only five.
Wallbank Analyzes Britain's Challenge
“Annexation of Czechoslovakia is communistic in aim, Hitlerian in technique, and utterly damnable in every way.” This statement, cheered in the house of lords last week, may well indicate Britain’s new policy on international affairs, according to Dr. T. Walter Wallbank, professor of history,
who speaks this afternoon on “Chal-
Arms Control Urged in Talk
“International control of weapons is the most important step that can be taken in the direction of peace.” Dr. Robert B. Pettengill, director of the Teaching Institute of Economics. asserted at the weekly seminar meeting of the Council of Atomic Implications yesterday afternoon.
“Action leading toward resolution of military conflicts is more important than any pointing to achievement of economic problems,” he continued.

Commenting on the new Czech political system, Dr. Wallbank described the spread of communism throughout the countries of Europe as “a hand going into putty—if it doesn't harden it keeps on penetrating.” He stated that present communist tactics are directly comparable to Germany’s occupation during the early stages of World War II.

to reach agreement of economic conflicts within the next ten years, and for that reason, military conflicts must be resolved in order to avert catastrophe within that time.
Dr. Pettengill noted that in approaching the problem of World War III it is necessary to turn eyes to the crucial thing that can avert war. This, he said, is the adoption of proposals leading toward resolution of military conflicts.
Council of Atomic Implications is continuing its search for proposals for a positive program for peace. RELATIONS INDICATED Regional agreements for control of weapons internationally would tend to decrease the split now existing betw'een Russia and the United States, Dr. Pettengill said. Agreement would indicate friendly relations with the U.S.S.R. through dispensing of atomic energy knowledge. he added.
Discussion of further observations and suggestions will be continued next week at the seminar meeting at 3 p.m. in 309 Bridge.
Daily screening of motion films continues in 309 Bridge with showings cut to one at 12:30 p.m.

SAFEGUARDS FRONTIERS
His lecture, part of the Wednesday LAS lecture series, will discuss the significance that England’s position may have on the United States. He emphasized that although England will depend on the U.S. for many of its needs, the United States depends on England for a good industrial customer as well as an ally to safeguard world frontiers.
Dr. Wallbank returned to SC this semester after studying in Europe for four months. During this period of study he gained many of the facts which he will utilize in his lecture.
“Trials of Migrating Chinese Universities” will be the next topic of the Wednesday lecture series to be presented by Dr. Edwin Ding on Mar. 17.

tend to attract both members of the Row and independents? Granting that it might make a difference. the DT conducted an opinion poll yesterday in an endeavor to find out what students wanted.
The question asked was ‘ Do you think the next all-U dance should be formal or informal?”
Bert Studley, sophomore. Sigma Nu. said. “I'm in favor of a formal dance. We fellows that own tuxes want to wear them more than once a season.”
KEEP OUT PEASANTS “We ought to have a formal to keep out communists, bomb-throw-ers, and peasants.” said F. R. Ashley, journalism major, non-org.
Betty Bachman, Tri-Delt P.E. major, said she approved of having an all-U formal dance once in a while. “A formal dance requires
little more trouble than semi-for-mals. and they are much nicer.” Student Union squatters Betty Kahn and Bob Walker, English majors, thought the question over an hour or two over one cup of coffee and said they favored a formal all-U dance. “The main reason I favor a formal,” said Miss Kahn, “is that there are so few of them held.”
LIKES CROWD Tom Henderson, SAE. was among the majority who disapproved of anything formal. “I’ve always gone along with the crowd.” he said, “and I think formals are too much trouble for the short time they last.”
Omar Kureishi. non-org student from India, doesn't approve of formals. “If I went to any of the dances, I'd want to go informal.”
Bill Stevens, caught squatting in the Student Union, said when approached, “I want a formal.”
“As for me,” said prominent Jesse Unruh, “I never go to the formals. I have too much trouble getting fitted at the L.A. Tent and Awning company.”
SOME STAY AWAY The majority of students polled were against having a formal all-U danoe. More Row students preferred a formal function than independent students. Many non-orgs would not attend a formal dance.
Apr. 23 is scheduled for the next all-U dance, as yet the dance committee hasn’t decided whether or not it will be formal or where it will be held. The Panhellenic dance, Mar. 20. and the Senior prom, in May, will both be formal affairs
