MOBILE RIC SAMPLES CAFETERIA SITE SOIL
“Hey, they're drilling for oil behind the Student Union.” This was the first thought of many Trojans upon viewing a 20-foot derrick there yesterday.
But on closer scrutiny they found that it was just a mobile drilling rig testing the composition of the ground on which the new student cafeteria will be built.
A 40-foot shaft is being *unk into the strata, and samples of the soil are being taken for composition tests. Tht foundation engineering
firm of Dames and Moore has charge of the operation.
Students interested in soil mechanics are invited to watch the drilling and view the samples, said Fred Barnes, field engineer.
Placing the mobile rig on the aromatic grass about three feet from the pathway gave onlookers a perfect vie?.7 of proceedings.
“It’s the best look I've had in 16 years of sidewalk supervising,” one said. Another was heard muttering something about clothespins.

‘•Leda and the Swan,” painted by Correggio in 1530, proved early to be a crowd-stopper. Illustrating the pagan influence in the Renaissance, it depicts the myth in which Zeus, the Grcok god, visits the eart.h in the form of a white swan.
TITIAN TUNEFUL
Titian's “Venus with the Organ Player” was another source of interest. He blends the sound of music with a vision of Venus, the goddess or love.
The paintings arrived Sunday
and were rushed to the museum by a secret route under heavy guard. Monday night high army and navy officials, art patrons, and various county officials attended a preview showing of the masterpieces.
CHARITY CHARGE
The museum will be open to the j public 12 hours daily and Sunday, from 10 am. to 10 p.m.. until Jan. j 22. An admission price of 30 cents is charged, proceeds going to a children's fund in the American i zone in Germany.
Museum officials, expecting a turnout of 300 0;0 during the three week exhibition, are routing the threnss through the east entrance which has been closed since 1930.
Robert T. Meyer, SC student, was t.he first to view the paintings at the official showing.

Biggest Battle Rages in War
CAIRO. Jan. 4—d’.P)—A crisis in-\olving Israel, Egypt, Iraq, the United States, Great Britain, and the United Nations threatened tonight over the situation in Palestine.
The Egyptian government asserted that the biggest battle of the Palestine war was raging in the southern Negev area, with Jewish troops attacking in waves.
Egyptian informants asserted the Israelis were making their second attempt in a week to capture the frontier town of Rafa, more than one mile inside Egypt, but did not make it clear whether they had actually crossed the border.
A United Press Tel Aviv dispatch quoted Israeli government sources t.hat Aubrey Eban, their delegate to the United Nations, would tell the Security Council when it meets at Lake Success Thursday, that Israeli troops have cleared the Egyptians from “Israel’s’’ soil.
Advices from Baghdad. Iraq, said that in response to Egypt's demand on other Arab countrties for a “second front” against Israel. Iraqi troops made a surprise attack in the Qalqilye area, 15 miles northeast of Tel Aviv.
Israel charged, Tel Aviv dispatches said, that Great Britain was sending troops to the Transjordanian Red Sea port of Aqaba, adjoining the southern tip of Palestine, and had completed plans to send troops to the Egyptian frontier opposite the Negev.
The United States entered the picture by sending a note to Israel, warning that “grave consequences” might result from a previous Israeli invasion of Egypt.
At the same time the United States warned Egypt that such incidents as t.he recent naval and aerial attacks on Jewish-held areas of Palestine could only result in a further extension of hostilities, Washington disclosed.

Kureishi said the convention ac- , cepted the change by a vote of 59 to 4. and that Blue Key is the first j national honorary fraternity to remove all racial restrictions. The convention met at Chicago Dec. 28-29.
The original Blue Key constitution restricted membership to male Caucasians. The clause long had been a point of contention in the organization, Kureishi said, and local chapters in particular had fought for the change.

The UCLA chapter withdrew from the fraternity because of the racial restriction, and the members at SC

were unanimously opposed to it. Kureishi. who led the movement at the convention, said he did so because he knew’ his chapter was solidly behind him.
The SC delegate, who is the first foreign student in Blue Key. told the convention that it should be concerned with the prestige of the fraternity on an international scale.
FOES REBUFFED
Opponents who said they had a natural right to choose their associates were reminded that members of other races who were otherwise qualified had an equal right to choose their associates, including those in honorary organizations.
Representatives of 60 schools from all parts of the country and three national officers made up the 59-4 vote. Kureishi said he was particularly glad to see that members from southern schools were as strongiy in favor of the resolution as those from above the Mason-Dixon Ime.
“I feel that this is the most forward step an honorary student group can make.” Kureishi said. “I hope other organizations will follow Blue Key's lead.”
Preregistration will be held during finals as the best alternative to between - semester registration, said Howard W. Patmore, registrar.
With outdoor registration made inadvisable by the possibility of bad weather, the only adequate inside place available is the women’s gymnasium, which may be used only during the holidays and during the two weeks of finals. Because cf the inconvenience involved
in vacation-time signups, the examination period was chosen as most satisfactory.
Preregistration will begin Monday and continue through Friday, Jan. 28. Students may sign up anytime during or after their assigned times, or daring the regular registration period. Feb. 2-5.
Adviser cards are available now at Door B, Owens annex, and class schedules will be ready for distribution Monday at the information office.
Registrar Clears Draftees’ Muddle
Prospective draftees do not need certificates from the Registrar’s office proving school attendance until they actually come up for Induction.
This is the final word on the current muddle concerning when men students will need these certificates. Clarification came through P. J. Peterson, assistant registrar, from the top man of the area. Major Elias M. Keeley, coordinator of selective service districts 5 %nd j 0.
Major Keeley advises the future GI to ignore all requests from his draft board for a certificate until
