Non-veterans who wish to pay tuition in cash must forward with their registration forms a check or money order payable to the university.
Veterans materials will be processed by mail only for section
cards, fee bills, and class admission cards.
It will be necessary for veterans to complete registration In person at the veterans station of the business office during registration week. Sept. 10-15.
The veterans station will l>e located In the Physical Education building and all veterans will be required to present their latest letter of award.
This year for the first time. University College students will be required to obtain registration permits before they can sign up for | any classes.
Checks or money orders made payable to the university must be calculated according to the tuition rates listed on page 2 of the FaK Semester 1951 Schedule of Classes. Currency will not be accepted through the mails.

| Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer, tired Sixth Army commander, was cently initiated into Delta Phi bsilon, American foreign service Eternity, by SC Chancellor Rufus von KleinSmid.
Assisting the chancellor, who a charter member of the Delta lapter, in the initiation were |orare W. Cutler, chairman of Alumni board; Joseph H. lenktns, president of the frater-|ty'i Official Residence Corp.; id Glaude V. Smith, master oi I remonies.
The general was cited for “his }t influence in the shaping of TTtcrnational relations, the development of world trade and his long ?areer in other foreign service Fields.”
kOther dignitaries at the Ambas-jr hotel dinner which followed | initiation were C. S. Beese-A. J. Cook, Sheriff Eugene luz, and Emerson B. Morgan.
dinner was sponsored by the lean Bureau for Medical Aid ree China, of which Wede-yer is new director.
Wedemeyer, In receiving the smbership, said he was “highly
honored at joining the fraternity whose purposes are inspiring and constructive in banding together men of high purpose and ideals in the foreign relations field.”
The general, who two weeks ago retired after 32 years of military service, mentioned the Korean conflict, the United Nations, and the West Point scandal during a speech at the dinner.
On the cadet cribbing story. Wedemeyer acknowledged th^t he, himself, had once cribbed on a prep school examination before he entered the academy.
“But once in West Point, I observed that honor code. We all did. I have observed it ever since. My heart aches, however, when I consider the situation today. I know the pressures, particularly those on the football players. But they must be sacrificed to maintain the honor and integrity of the corps.”
He also warned Americans must be careful not to let the United Nations “dissipate our human and material resources all over the world indiscriminately” and said that the UN some day no doubt will be a powerful and effective world organization.
What's Doin'
Slides Illustrate {Oriental Art
A lecture on Chinese ritual bronzes will be given at 3:15 Aug.
1 27, in 101 Harris hail by Professor J. LeRoy I>avidson of Yale university. Professor Davidson, who is teaching during the postsession at SC, 5s one of the leading specialists I in the field of Chinese art history.
The lecture, which will be illus- | trated with slides, will analyze the ritual bronzes of China as a great art form which is not only ex- | pressive of its period but which has parallels with contemporary art forms of our own day.
The ritual bronzes of China were made as early as 1400 B.C. and continued to be a creative art until the third century B.C. They were the major art treasures of their time and are considered now a great art form which is unique to China, j
Huntington Gets Encyclopedia
“Encyclopedic ou Dictionnaire Raisonne des Sciences, des Arts et des Metiers”—tins great French encyclopedia, called by Voltaire “a monument which honors France,” has been presented to the Huntington library and now is on display there.
Fighting for What?' Theme of Talks
“What Are We righting For?” will be theme of two free public lectures at SC next week by Prof. Theodore M. Greene of Yale university, notea ecrucator and philosopher.
He will speak Tuesday on “Our American Creed,” and Wednesday on “Our Basic Institutions.” Both lectures will be given at 12:15 p.m., 133 Founders hall, as additions to the summer session and Philosophy Forum lecture series.
After 21 years as a member of the Princeton university faculty, Dr. Greene was appointed professor of philosophy at Yale in 1946. The following year he was made Master of Silliman college, one of Yale’s 10 undergraduate residential colleges. He has also been a visiting professor in the humanities at Stanford university.
Professor Greene recently was invited to Washington, D. C., by Sen. Paul Douglas of Illinois, to testify concerning the establishment of a commission to improve the moral aspects of American government.
He also was appointed by the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America to serve on
its 19-man Commission of Christian Scholars, a group brought together to study the moral implications of area bombing and the military use of nuclear bombs.
Recognized as an authority on the philosophy of religion, Dr. j Greene is a leading spokesman for liberal Christianity. He has- defended his viewpoint before many i audiences at Yale and in educa-| tional institutions throughout the United States.

Map New Leukemia Studies
A new approach to a fundamental problem ln the biochemistry of leukemia—how resistance develops to certain anti-leukemic agents—is being made by the SC School of Medicine.
With a $15,336 grant from the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Richard J. Winzler, professor of biochemistry, and two graduate students have started to study why leukemia, a cancer of the lymph nodes, suddenly flares up niter apparently being checked for a time by so-called folic acid antagonists, or anti-folics.
Folic acid is a B-complex vitamin discovered just a few years ago. It is needed in the body for the manufacture of both red and white blood cells. It is apparently important in the treatment of some types of anemia, a shortage of red blood cells, by its ability to rebuild the red blood cell count to normal.
Leukemia is a disease ln which the white blood cells ai* produced
in abnormally large amounts.
Anti-folics are chemical compounds used in the treatment of leukemia in children. They are able somehow to go directly to the lymph nodes where white blood cells are made and retard their overproduction.
Invariably, however, the anti-fol-ics lose their effect after a time and the patient usually dies.
The leukemia cells somehow develop a resistance to the treatment.
‘It is just as though you were shooting at an enemy with a machine gun and he suddenly donned a bullet-pruof vest,” Dr. Winzler explained.
Anti-folics resemble the vitamin folic acid enough to block its production of white blood cells in the lymph nodes. The body mistakes the synthetic compound for the natural vitamin.
“Think of a key which fits a lock but won’t open it,” Dr. Winzler said. “While the bogus key la in the locli you can’t get the real
key in, but neither can you unlock the door.”
Using radio-active phosphorus and carbon as tracers, the SC biochemist and his aides, Albert Williams of Hornell, N. Y., and Grant Slater of Hialeah, Fla., are seeking clues as to how the leukemic cells develop an immunity to the anti-folics.
Leukemic mice which would ordinarily die in from 9 to 15 days have been kept alive as long as a month when treated with anti-folics.
The SC scientists are comparing the biochemistry ol a strain of leukemia which has become resistant to anti-folics with a non-resistan< leukemia.
“When we know more about the mechanism of leukemia we will understand that much more about cancer," Dr. Winzler said.
Williams came to SC from Alfret university, Alfred, N. Y. Slater came from the University of Miami.
