UP, Unity Politicos utline Party Aims
SSC Prexy Cites egistration by Mail
SSC President Al Wiggins yes-■»y elaborated on his meeting n GUP senators, which was held iSday with the idea of “taking (ck of what has been accom-hed.”
It was in no way a “political cus,” Wiggins said. The GUP ators will be meeting at regular rvals, and the sole concern of se meetings will be to carry the platform of GUP. he said. Tie committees imported as “just '.ing under way’’ in carrying out iform planks have actually been *er way for some time, Wiggins

“Whereas independent men and women comprise the majority of students are discriminated against students are discriminated aaginst in the choice of representatives and members to certain school service organizations and councils, therefore be it resolved that the Unity party favors and will endeavour to bring about greater representation of the independent students on the Knights and Squires and class and college councils.’*
Richard Hanson, chairman of the party, pointed out that independent students outnumber fraternity and sorority members by more than two to one.

Polio Research Fund Granted SC Scientists
A check for $123,600 was granted SC medical research scientists yesterday by the March of Dimes to complete a classification of polio
Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, presented the check to President Fred D. Fagg Jr.
This is the third straight year that SC has received a large grant to carry out the polio identification study.
Dr. John F. Kessel, head of the department of medical microbiology, is in charge of the project which was begun in 1948.
Families of Viruses
In recent years, scientists have discovered that polio is caused not by a single virus but by several “families of viruses,” Dr. Kessel explained. Although all polio viruses produce identical symptoms, he said, these “families of viruses” react independently to a serum, some being affected while others are not.
Such independence means that infection with a polio virus of one family will produce a degree of resistance—in the form of antibodies —against subsequent infection with viruses belonging to the same family, but not against polio viruses of another family, Dr. Kessel explained.
Our task at SC is to classify into their proper types existing individual specimens of polio virus and to determine whether there are polio virus types other than the three already known,” Dr. Kessel said.
Dr. Kessel isolated one of the three known types of polio virus some years ago. He has been work ing on the problem for 10 years.
Officials of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis stressed the importance of identifying polio viruses in the search for an effec tive vaccine to protect against the malady. To be effective, they said, a vaccine must protect against all viruses apt to produce polio in man. Representatives of all polio virus types, therefore, must be incorporated into a single vaccine, they pointed out.
“Until studies, such as the one going on at SC, can determine how many polio virus types there are,” Dr. Kessel said, “it will be difficult to produce an over-all effective polio vaccine. We hope to conclude our current studies on type comparisons of polio viruses by the end ‘of this year.”

“I'm out here to get a husband and I don’t want to have to go to the orient to do it,” she said.
On the other side of the fence were the students who must keep their grades up to avoid the draft. Many of these said they are studying harder than ever to keep their grades up. One said:
“No, I don’t feel insecure. I might, if I stand here talking to you, instead of studying.”
A professor of political science said that he has noticed an increased interest in government and world affairs, particularly in students who are likely to be drafted.

Names Listed For El Rodeo
The fantastic world of the perpetual dreamer will replace reality in Bovard auditorium at 8:30 tonight as the Elmer Rice fantasy “Dream Girl” begins its five-day run.
High comedy, romance, and villainy highlight the play, which concerns a day in the life of Georgina Allerton, an inveterate daydreamer, and her contacts, during the 24 hours, w;ith the three men in her life.
Two virtual unknowns to the Bovard stage, Marilyn Gcrgan and George Dubravsky, handle the leading roles of Georgina and Clark Redfield, the self-confident reporter who pursues, woos, and finally wins her, meanwhile hauling her back to the world of reality.
Durbravsky, after six months of backstage jobs, landed the co-star-ring part after only one previous role.
Dark doings are inspired by Peter Sterne, as dashing George Hand, when he attempts to persuade Georgina to “fly with him” to Mexico, where anything can happen and
nearly always does. Sterne will be remembered for his portrayal of Don Gonzalo, the lothario of “One Sunny Morning,” an Experimental theater production.

Arthur handed out copies of UCLA's humor magazine. Scop, with an attached sheet comparing publication expenditures and circulation figures of the Westwood publication with SC’s magazine.
There was disagreement as to how many issues of the Wampus jwere to be printed with the funds I remaining in the budget after the cut.
Bsrnard L. Hyink, dean of students and advisor to the committee, said three remaining issues were provided for, but Arthur said he thought only one more issue was to be printed.

SC re-introduces an accelerated program for the Spring semester which will reduce the minimum total academic time to two and three-quarter years.
Similar to the one in operation during World War II. the program is open to men and women students alike, and is yoluntary. The accelerated program will permit students to complete a maximum period of their education before being called to active duty.
The program, which has been officially set up according to Registrar Howard W. Patmore, sets the maximum load a student may carry at 18 units. Students who have already registered may add to their program with “add” cards.
A special 10-week summer session will allow students to carry up to 10 units of work instead of the usual six.
Who is subject to the draft at the present time?
If a man is single, a nonveteran, under 26 and over 19 years of age, he is eligible to go into the armed forces and serve 21 months. Selective service officials do not carry a list of critical jobs and essential activities. To them anyone under 26 with no military experience and unmarried is neither irreplaceable nor indispensable.
Anyone married after July 7, 1950 is presumed not to be married for purposes of the draft.
What about college students who are draft eligibles?
Congress and the President have agreed that anyone actually attending an accredited institution of higher learning and enrolled in a full-time course is entitled to postponement until June 1951, unless graduated sooner.
Any student who has completed an academic year, and in the upper half of his class in the last academic year he attended, and enrolled for a full time course, may be classified as “student 2-A” to be considered for deferment. Thi* also applies to graduate students.
Students enrolled in regular NROTC units are automatically exempt, and those in contract NROTC and AROTC units are exempt except in case of national emergency.
Reserve enlistments are being accepted from both freshmen and sophomores for the regular NROTC unit if they are between the ages of 17 and 21, and for the AROTC unit if he will complete his course of study and receive the baccalaureate degree before his 28th birthday.
