3.	That a reminder of the activ- j ities of registration week be sent; with health service cards to new j students, if they are mailed priori to registration week.
4.	That Troy day (orientation day) be expanded to include the first two days of registration, the first day to be devoted to freshmen and the second to transfer students.
5.	That no fraternity or sorority rushing functions be held on these days.
On these Troy da3rs. the committees recommend that an assembly of all new students be held. The meeting will provide for distribution of registration materials, discussions on campus, community, and fraternity - sorority activities, and a review of administrative and student government.
An official welcome by the president of the university and the president of the student body would be followed by the introduction of university and student body officials.
The program would also include an explanation of physical facilities of the university, a short dis-dussion on choice of a career, and explanations of counseling and advisement services and registration procedures.
Part of Troy day would be devoted to luncheon and a get-together. Open house and refreshments in the various schools would conclude the program.
Further committee recommendations ask that teaching of such subjects as how to study, the use of the library, and note-taking be incorporated into English 100. Psychology 300. and other courses taken by freshmen and entering students.
If the new plan is adopted, all instructors at the first meeting of classes would inform students on regulations concerning academic requirements, grade points, status of transfer grades, honors, honorary organizations and requirements, withdrawal from courses and give them general information concerning the university.
Deferment Exams Set for Students
If you are a draft eligible college student or high school graduate and can pass a government sponsored aptitude test you stand a good chance of being deferred.
So says Dr. R. R. G. Watt, di-
Harvey Opens Thursday Eve
“Harvey,” the story of a humanity-loving man and the rabbit he alone sees as a result, will have a few new twists as far as the see nery is concerned when it opens Thursday night at 8 in Bovard.
The stage crew will be able to change scenery is just a few seconds as a result of the new developments. A room will look entirely different simply by swiveling the doors around and beaming different colored lights on the walls. The color of the walls is such that only a switch in lighting is necessary to change its hue.
Sets are being made by the play’s actors, among whom are Elaine Masser, Barbara Joseph, and Ed Earle, who has the leading role as Elwood P. Dowd.
The whimsical play concerns Dowd, an easy-going man who gets along with everyone, and the circumstances that arise when he introduces his pooka — Harvey, of course — to his family and friends.
The controversial and invisible rabbit will run in Bovard each night except Sunday for one week.
Tickets may be purchased at the performances. Student activity books will be honored.

Entrance requirements in the i SC law school were briefly touched upon by Elliott. He said that be-j cause of the various subjects an i attorney may be called upon to tackle in his practice, it is difficult to say just what studies should be pursued as long as they are good solid ones. Those who fall below an accumulative grade average of 2 point down to 1.5 must score a higher mark on their entrance examination in order to be accepted.
The five new scholarships available in the fall, which brings the total to 11, is to aid those financially unable to meet the $560 tuition fee, Elliott said.

rector of the university testing bureau, of the recent Truman-approved selective service qualification tests to be given May 26, June 16, and June 30 at SC and other colleges throughout the nation.
Deferment Policies Although the new educational deferment policies announced Saturday by President Truman failed to provide for high school graduates not yet in college, draft officials announced today that there is little or no chance that the graduates would be inducted before they enter college and took the aptitude test as freshmen.
To take the three-hour examination prepared by the educational testing service at Princeton, N.J., college students are advised to get touch with their local boards immediately and obtain selective service forms 106 and 107.
Student Selects Date The student can indicate the date on which he would like to take the test. Aftert he form is filled out, the registrant must mail it to the selective service examin ing section.
The building and room number of the testing place has not been decided upon as yet, but prepara tions are being made to accommodate 1000 students, Watt said Draft Director Lewis B. Hershey has released to local boards corn plete examination information in eluding 1000 places where the tests can be taken as well as 30 sample questions to -let the students know what they are in for, Watt said.
Those Eligible In order to be eligible to take the qualification test an applicant.
Must be a registrant who intends to request occupational deferment as a student.
Must be under 26 years old at the time of taking the test.
Must have already begun or plans to attend college and is going to continue his college or university studies. (The applicant need not be in a four-year college, but his entire course must be satisfactory for transfer of credits to a degree-granting institution.)
Must not have taken the test previously.
The tests will be given at no cost to the registrant.
Wampus Sales Skyrocket; DT Stories Blamed
Wampus set its hottest sales record in history yesterday, Editor Ried Bridges reported last night.
In commenting on circulation and not necessarily editorial content, Bridges said that only about 20 copies are left for sale today.
Asked to account for the spectacular sales, Bridges thanked the Daily Trojan for not suppressing news of a recent expose.
Asked where a copy of the so-called humor magazine could be purchased, Bridges said the premium edition would be available at the cigar counter in the Student Union.
Original plans had called for editor Russell E. Ward to have seven votes, to three each
for Wright and McKinlay.
Get Extra Votes At yesterday’s meeting, it was decided that both Wright and Mc-Kinlay would get an extra one-half vote each, thereby giving them majority control of the contest, This decision was reached by unanimous agreement. Unfortunately, Wright and McKinlay forgot to inform Ward of the meeting. But since a quorum was on hand they went ahead with the meeting. Wives Not Eligible During the session, the judges ruled that no wives of judges be eligible for the queen title. Ward, the only married judge, was not present for this vote, hence the decision was unanimous.
Meanwhile, the Daily Trojan of-five was again deluged by hopeful candidates seeking tne title of ‘Daughter of the Year.” The judges agreed that a guard detail will be needed if today£ rush is as bad as yesterday’s.
Today’s candidates were picked after nearly three hours of deliberation by the judges.
Closing Date Indefinite The closing date for the contest has not been set. “Our files still contain the pictures of lots of beautiful women,” one judge said, so it probably will last for the rest of the week, at least.”
A picture of Lili St. Cyr was mysteriously delivered to tne DT office yesterday afternoon. The judges are now in a bitter fight over who will nominate her.
Rules for the contest are simple: First, all contestants must be daughters; second, the contestant’s picture must be in our own files; and third, the contestant must be nominated by one of the three judges.

Mew Political Croup to Oppose Unity, GUP; May Draft Arthur
The first round of the annual spring ASSC political fight began yesterday as a new party appeared on campus, and immediately announced it had a candidate for office.
The new party is the Veterans party, and its founder and sole member Richard J. Van Laanen announced that he
will run for AMS president.
Veterans party is the first group to announce opposition to Unity and GUP, the only two parties now functioning as recognized political organizations on campus.
But rumors still say that another Row party will form to oppose GUP, and a proposed Row-Independent party is in the talking stage.
Only One Member
Van Laanen said that, although he is the party’s only member at the moment, he had talked with several other veterans on campus, and they had pledged their support.
He said he would hold a meeting Thursday at 1 in the Trovet office m to interview potential members of the party's steering committee, and to talk with potential candidates.
Van Laanen said he hopes to draft Allen A. Arthur to run for the ASSC presidency on the Veterans ticket.
Arthur hasn’t said yes or no to me yet,” Van Laanen said. But he seemed to think that Arthur would go along with them Arthur had no comment to mak ? on the new party’s proposed draf*. Arthur Doesn’t Know For many weeks Arthur has maintained that he still doesn't know if he will run for the presidency. Friday TKE John Lathrop said he wanted AAA to run chi a ticket sponsored by him Unity also has hopes that he will run on their slate.
The party’s support will not be limited only to veterans, Van Laanen said. Anyone is eligible to apply for party backing.
The Veterans party was formed because “it’s about time the vets got a square deal around here,” Van Laanen said.
“If a better AMS presidential candidate comes along, then I’ll run for some other office,” Van Laanen said. But he made it clear that he would definitely seek some office come May.

Drivers Find New Parking Lot ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unfortunately-lt Aint!
If you’ve been rubbing your (sible for conversion into four ten-hands in anticipation of the open- nis courts, two basketball courts, ing of the new parking lot across four volleyball courts, or several
from the Music building on 35th place, you have a surprise coming. The new “parking lot” is an athletic court.
But it looked like a parking lot Friday. Eight-thirty that morning saw the lot, which had just been graded for asphalting the night before, filled with cars parked in orderly rows, with neat drive-in aisles and all.
The foreman of the asphalting crew could only hold his head and pray silently” when he saw his converted athletic court. So the crew got a day off with pay, and the lot had to be regraded the next day. The asphalt is laid down now, and a nice, big, steel fence is being erected around the perimeter— for obvious reasons.
Several hundred dollars were lost through the incident but the university was saved from having to bear the loss by a fixed-rate con tract.
The court—athletic, that is—will have facilities for volleyball, tennis, and basketball. Movable nets and backboards will make it pos-
combinations of the three.
The tennis and volleyball setups will be ready for use’ in about two weeks, according to Elton D. Phillips, university business manager, but the basketball facilif>' will take a little longer.
