Arthur Has New Registration Plan
The promised delivery cf two IBM machines early in September, has raised hopes that the full registration procedure may be greatly simplified, according to Allen Arthur, G r e a t e r-University committeeman.
“We do not know for sure whether or not thc machines wili arrive in time for fall registration,” Arthur said. "If and when they do. they will eliminate most of the bottlenecks in the present registration procedure.”
The machines will eliminate the disheartening experience of filling out class cards and then findmg

More than .half of those people driving cars to the university attempt to park on city streets, while nearly 1000 pay fees to park.
The questionnaire, filled out by students as they left registration lines last month, contained 21 questions, including questions on the National Students Association, ex-tra-curricular interests, and the student handbook.
The committee, headed by Frank O'Sullivan, used assembly line methods to compile the survey results. From 5 to 25 persons worked fulltime during the between semesters vacation to complete the processing of the forms. The job will not be completed until the forms collected during regular registration have been tabulated.
Results of the survey were transferred to IBM cards to ease the Arthur esti-three months will be necessary to digest comments appearing on more than 500 forms concerning suggestions for the student handbook.
He added that a spot check on each fiftieth form will be made to assure the validity and ‘accuracy of the survey.
"Very few frauds were detected,” Arthur commented, "but we want to be accurate.”
He added that all senators had the privilege of adding questions to the survey, referring to the unrelated questions that appeared on the form.

Black Curb Parkers Will Get Tickets
Parking is still illegal on Univer-| sity avenue.
Police officers will issue tickets to illegal parkers between Exposition and Hoover today if they are in the vicinity.
A student-instigated petition and parking survey are part of the machinery trying to eliminate University avenue parking restrictions, but patrolling police must still hand out citations.
Shortly after Christmas vacation, the city painted red curbs black the length of University avenue, but left “no parking at any time” signs and red curbs around the islands. Students parked for several days without citations but wefe crossed up by a week of ticketing just before finals. Since then enforcement has fallen off again.
One of the reasons for sudden, thorough enforcement of the parking ordinance last month, according to Sergeant Beach of campus police, was a complaint by Elton D.. Phillips, university business manager.
Phillips admitted making the complaint. “I have made several complaints,” he admitted. “Although the outside curbs are painted black, the signs say clearly ‘no parking.' The islands, which are painted red, belong to the city, so we don’t care about them.”

Health Fee Ot $6 To Be Compulsory
Construction of a health service clinic and infirmary building will be completed and ready for use by Feb. 1951, according to an announcement by President Fred D. Fagg Jr. The two-story brick and con-, crete structure will cost $300,-000 and be equipped to handle more than 50,000 calls a
year.
Students with six units or more, with certain exceptions, will be charged a $6 health fee, which is less than the $10 fee recommended by the student senate and approved by a DT poll last year.
Twenty-one beds will be provided in single and double rooms on the second floor. Two sun decks will open off the wards.
SOME DON’T HAVE TO PAY Payment of the fee will entitle a student to six days free bed care per semester in the infirmary. Exempt from paying the fee are those enrolled in Civic Center division. University college, Saturday classes, classes later than 4:15, Summer Session, or students whose religious beliefs do not permit them to use the clinic or infirmary. In their case, payment of the health ser-' vice fee is optional.

Three-hundred and fifty DPs in New York anxiously await educational opportunities in this country, according to Miss Wollenwebber. Sponsoring these many European students is the World Student Service Fund.
WSSF seeks no money donations from SC students, since the Trojan Chest is financing the venture. Help is needed in soliciting from outside sources for public relations work with clubs and businesses in the Los Angeles area.
Out of the 350 students waiting in New York to be placed, SC can pick as many as they choose. Questionnaires may be made up by campus group for presentation to the DPs. Interested SC alumni or undergraduates in New York can

Three Sigma Alpha Mu pledges were released on bail after colliding with the police early last Friday as they attempted to fulfill initiation demands, drawing the wrath of officialdom down on the heads of themselves, their pledgemasters, and their fraternity.
The trio, Arthur M. Hartman. Harry L. Hoffman, and Jerry Adler, were Jailed during thr \ery early hours alter t#o policemen caught them in the act of removing a street sign from the corner oi Flast 69th and San Pedro streets. They were using a ladder which had been borrowed from a nearby lumber yard.
In the pledges' car parked nearby the officers found a telephone receiver which the students admitted taking from a pay station.
At the police station, where bail for each one was set at $500. the
three pledges explained that their fraternity leaders had given them only a few hours to obtain a list of items and bring them back to the house. The penalty for each item they failed to obtain was to be four swats with an oaken paddle.
An investigation of the matter started by the Faculty Welfare committee under the direction of Dr. Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students, is continuing. Meanwhile, city officials have filed a complaint with SC atainst what they termed the “shocking conduct” by students during fraternity initiation rites.
Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men, said bluntly that “this kind (Continued on Page 2)
