tors a small ribbon with the seal on it.

Men in Draft Must File for Exemptions
Men students interested in applying for draft exemption this semester at SC should report immediately to Robert DeVries in the registrar’s office, Albert F. Zech, counselor of men, said Friday.
All new students who are eighteen years of age or older must fill out Form 109 as sc^n as possible and send it to their local draft board, he cautioned.
This form is not necessarily a deferment, but a general statement that the student has enrolled for a full time study program in the university.
Draft Notice
If a student receive a 1-A classification notice or an induction notice, he should apply for a 1-S classification (statutory deferment). This entitles him to finish one academic year with a minimum of 15 units of w’ork leading to a four year degree for undergraduates, and 10 units for graduates. However, graduates enrolled in thesis, project, or research work should check with their local boards if they desire to carry less than 10 units, Dr. Zech said.
To qualify for a 2-S classification (discretionary deferment) a student must already have had a 1-S or 2-S deferment. The 2-S is good for one or two semesters only, and at the end of this time application must again be made. This is dependent upon the student’s grades for the previous year and/or whether he received a score of 70 or more on his college classification test. Seniors must have a score of at least 75.
Mar. 9 Deadline
Students intending to take the Selective Service college classification test on Apr. 23 must obtain application forms from the nearest draft board and mail it no later than midnight today. 195'.
International students with 4 (e) student visas or those in diplomatic or consular offices and exchange students do not have to register with the Selective Service. Foreign students with temporary visitor visas 3 (2) and students w’ho are in the United States chi exchange visitor visas 3 (2) are eligible for induction at

Rough 'n Tumble Ends With 69-20 Score ¥*-¥■-¥■ * ★ ★
Sophomores Easy Winners In Brawl
by Rodger Darbonne
Know-how and a determined spirit netted the class of ’55 a 69 to 20 victory over the class of ’56 in Friday’s frolicsome fresh-man-sophomore brawl.
Sustained drives were the winning factor for the sophomores. The freshmen, however, were not as beaten as the score indicates.
“With the fine spirit you showed today and as capable a leader as Don Davis, you should be victorious in next year’s brawl,” b r a w 1,” Sophomore President Phil Marantz told the freshmen after the brawl.
Stick House
Two quick victories in the gunny sack relay and the stick horse race put the sophomores ahead as the brawl began.
Fresh men victories in the three-legged relay and the obstacle relay accounted for their scoring. A clean sweep of the pie eating contest and wins in the!
wheelbarrow relay, tug-of-war, and push-ball events secured the win for the class of ’55.
Enthusiasm ran high for all of the participants but spectators were actively rooting in only a few events. Coeds were reluctant to participate at first until a few entered into the spirit. Most of the women students in skirts and dresses, were inappropriately clothed for the fracas.
Funeral Wreath
Marantz awarded a token trophy, a dried up funeral wreath, enscribed “sorry,” to Freshman President Don Davis at the coke social ^fter the brawl.
Cokes and dancing were available to the brawlers at the YW CA. As president of the winning class, Marantz will keep the 17-inch gold trophy perpetually awarded to the winning class.
The sophomore victory brings the record for the last 11 years to six sophomore wins, four

spill imo mua puddle during tug-of-war in Friday's Frosh-Soph Brawl. Sophomores won this and five other events fo defeat freshmen,
freshmen victories and one tie. The class of '55, as freshmen, were victorious in last year’s brawl also.
Obstacle Relay
Spectator interest reached its high point in the newest brawl event, the obstacle relay. Installed by Barbara Hines, freshman brawl chairman, the event requires contestants to don clothing from a closed suitcase, open an umbrella, crawl through two automobile tires, take off the clothes and replace them in the suitcase.
A close race all the way, the event ended with the freshmen ahead by a pair of pants.
Tug O’ War
Difficulties were encountered in the tug-of-war. Both teams were poised over the simulated mud-puddle straining to pull the other team across when the rope snapped. A pole was substituted and the mud puddle was made smaller.
One big pull by the sophomores smeared Davis in the puddie. A scramble ensued and Davis and Marantz ended up laughing and shaking hands in the middle of the puddle.
Push-Ball
Freshmen almost won the 23-minute push-ball event. The ball got as close as 20 feet from the sophomore goal but the sustained drive of thte sophomores moved the ball away and on down the field to the frosh goal.
Experience came in handy in the pie eating fiasco. First, second, and third places were occupied by sophomores. It is rumored that their winners were repeaters from last year. Most of the freshmen only managed to smear the lemon meringue pies on their faces.
P. A. System
A large score board, attended by sophomore Jack Kyser, informed onlookers of the proceedings. Spirit and instructions were communicated to the brawlers by a public address system, obtained by sophomore brawl chairman Fred Mitchell.
Newspaper publicity was handled by Rodger Darbonne; campus publicity by Bill Man. Bob Ihrig made arrangements for the pushball with Whittier college.
Greg Krasel and Pat Dow were in charge of the coke social. Also contributing their efforts to the brawl’s organization were Dave Kearn, Ivan Rose, Bob Wood, Donna Meadors, Sam Shorr, Lenore Monnoson, and Pat Crawford.
Marantz and Davis termed the brawl a success. They were only sorry that everyone did not attend.
