LAS advisement office, 202 Adm.
The LSAT has become a requirement for admission in in 1897 by a group from the all but a few law schools.! University of Maine.
Law school admission offices use the exam as an indication of students’ potential.
Results of the exam will be returned to the LAS advisement office. Students wishing counseling before or after the test should make an appointment with a pre-law counselor.
Now being given in two parts, the test includes a morning session .consisting of aptitude, reasoning ability and reading comprehension; and an afternoon session, which includes general knowledge and understanding of

President Topping yesterday denied rumors that the university has scheduled a tuition hike to $700 for the fall semester.
“The university has received many calls regarding this report,” Dr. Topping said. “There will be no tuition raise during the calendar year 1963-64.”
The present flat tuition fee
English of $600 per semester went ¡into effect last fall.
bassador said in the face of the present ideological struggle in Asia, it is necessary that each nation understand the fundamental policy of the others.
The Key
The key to Thailand's in ternational relations may be found in two main points complete support of free democracy, and adherence to the charter of the United Na tions, Arthayukti said.
“Thailand was among the first to respond to the United Nations appeal for both economic and military assistance to the republic of Korea when the latter was the victim of aggression in 1950,” Arthayukti noted.

Pharmacists Choose Two For Senate
Robert Holbrook and Victor Masaki were elected senators for the School of Pharmacy in a re-election held within the school Wednesday Holbrook received 146 votes, while Masaki received 158. Another candidate, Robert Landes, received 69 votes.
Vicki Quinlivin, running unopposed, was elected pharmacy secretary-t reasurer with 183 votes.
The second election was held because of an error on the pharmacy ballots used in the general election. The ballots incorrectly instructed voters to vote for one senator, instead of two to which the pharmacy school is entitled.
Holbrook had earlier claimed that his campaign had been hampered before the election because Elections Commissioner Dick Messer had not informed him that there was a question during earlier campaigns about his having the grade requirement to run for the office.
Holbrook said if he had been informed earlier he could have straightened out the mistake and continued his campaign without so much difficulty.
Messer said he had not had time to telephone everyone whose grades were questionable.
Salisisan, John Wenzel, Fred Reese, William Lumpkins and Faith Banks.
Vases, bowls, mobiles, platters, wall panels and pitchers are among the works to be displayed at the annual exhibition. They were all done by hand or on a potter’s wheel.
Most of the works are decorative, rather than function al, Miss Peterson, associate professor of fine arts, said. The designs stem from a functional form, but are not designed for functional use.
Mass production has ended the need for hand made plates and dishes, she explained. The result is often to form “way-out” ceramics.
Demonstratig the departure from functional ceramics is a “seed pot” by Ball, professor of fine arts. The object has no functional purpose, but was created by the artist’s inspiration from seeds.
A large branch vase, also of a basically decorative use, was submitted by Wenzel, a graduate assistant in ceramics and a former winner of the Tiffany Award.
Among those contributing are artists Ward Young, Robert Ramsey, Thomas Ferriera, Laura Anderson, Bernard Kester, Vivika and Otto He-ino, Paul Soldner and Kenneth Starboard.
All contributors are members of the American Ceramic Society. The works were selected by a jury from 10 submitted by each member.
Many of the contributors are instructors in universities, colleges and art schools.
Exhibition chairman Den nison Herring, who received his MFA in design at USC, designed and executed the display.
Club to Fete TV Shows
Two television programs featuring USC professors from them by the center.
