Final Facts Revealed for Registration
Upper Classmen To Start First
A final rundown of preregistra-j tion and regular registration procedures has been released by the office of the registrar.
\ Graduates, seniors, and juniors ! will begin preregistration on the first day of final exams, Jan. 17.
Sophomores, freshmen, and specials will follow, beginning Jan. 24. Al-j phabetical order will be followed ; as listed in the preregistration schedule.
Steps which can be taken before the actual date of preregistering include procuring adviser card and semester schedule, working out program with adviser, and getting “H” cards OKed, by department heads. Adviser cards can be picked up now at door B. Owens Annex.

With $100 Budget
Genes—tiny carriers of heredity in all living things—have been seen under an electron microscope for the first time, two SC scientists disclosed Friday.
They turned out to be spindle-shaped particles about
1 100.000th of a centimeter long and 1/100.000th of a centimeter wide. This is much smaller:*---- .__
than the wave length of visible i light, and hence could not possibly be seen with a light microscope. A 1 centimeter is one-half inch.
The genes, even in sections mag-nified 120.000 times under SC's electron microscope, still were only tiny I particles about one-half inch long.
Dr. Daniel C. Pease, assistant j professor of anatomy, and Dr. Rich- 1 ard F. Baker, assistant professor of ; experimental medicine, obtained | the first pictures of genes of fruit1 flies.
Both are members of the faculty ' of the School of Medicine.
Their achievement was the cul- ; j mination of 50 years of research | by thousands of scientists in all | parts of the world, j Genes determine such heredity ; traits for humans as height, j weight, color of hair and eyes.
: Scientists have been aware of the j existence of genes for about a century. since Gregor J. Mendel first laid down the laws of heredity in Austria by experiments in crossbreeding of sweetpea plants.

Fischer said the costumes presented several difficult problems.
They had to portray the Greek feeling without being authentically Grecian. The designer accomplished that end by carefully planned draping and trim. Colors are planned not only to rurther the tragic mood and harmonize with the sets, but to heighten special moods within groups on the stage.

saA “ttySi dance proved to be more suWbssf#* than any other that I cart recall.”
Filial figures released by Eddy place attendance of the Dec. 4 dance at 4268 persons.
Dance oh airman Ed Vierheiig said that more than 400 bids were sold at the door the night of the dance, and many prospective buyers were turned away when crowded conditions in the Casino Gardens forced the halt of further ticket sales.
Because anticipated expenses ran abnormally high, the IFC was permitted to underwrite the affair. Rental of the Casino Gardens and the cost of Dave Rose's orchestra totaled $3000. while decorations and other incidentals increased the total expense to $3676.29.
Vierheilig pointed out that dances in the past have shown losses as high as $2000, and he praised the IFC's work in making the project such an unprecedented success. “Several houses,” .he said, “went so far as to make the attendance of their members mandatory.”
Half the profits will go into the general university social fund and will be used to finance similar affairs in the future, while the remaining $1296.75 goes to the IFC.
