Those who have not attended col lege may be admitted either on the basis of graduation from high school or through achievement or aptitude tests given by the University. The veteran is encouraged to try for ad vanced standing which may be gained by passing the achievement test upon arrival here. Students interested in pharmacy may qualify as freshmen, while those wishing to take law may begin after a minimum of four semesters of satisfactory college work. Admission to the School of Medicine requires a minimum of six semesters of under graduate study. Commerce The School of Commerce has mapped out a series of special inten sive programs in business adminis tration for the returning GI's.

Actual construction began in 1925, but the castle was completed in 1926. Native stone was used in an imitation of dry-build masonry com mon in England as late as the 11th century. The windows and doors are protected by wrought iron grill-work, fabricated and installed by the late Anthony Germino, a native Italian artisan of Durham, who presented the order with a handmade lock and lever for the front-door, because the castle reminded him of the "old coun try." The present front door remains from the original lodge. It was kept for "sentimental reasons." On the southward side of the castle there is a terrace, seventy-eight feet by fourteen feet, onto which doors from the Great Hall open. Inside the walls are of rough stone like the out side. Wheel-like chandeliers of hand forged iron hang down, electric bulbs replacing the tallow-candles of Saxon days. On the walls there are three moose heads, one buck, and one wild boar. A white bearskin rug covers the floor in front of the fireplace, over which hangs an oil painting of two winged devils and a knight in com bat. This design by Charles Basker- ville, was presented in memory of his father, a former chemistry professor at the University. To the right of this Great Hall there is a mezzanine and to the right of that, the famous Round Table, similar to King Arthur's and on the edge of it the oath of King Arthur's knights is inscribed Pewter candlesticks throughout the castle, although modernized by electric Lght bulbs, augment the medieval at mosphere. ' All of the hardware is hand-forged and styled after that of Saxon England. In the basement, where its modern efficiency is well hidden, there is an air circulation heating plant. A rock seat in memory of Dr. Kemp P. Battle, former University presi dent, was built near the castle at the same time it was constructed. Known now as the Battle seat, it was made from a pile of rocks brought one by one at the president's request, by stu dents who were walking out to Pine Prospect. Durham, twelve miles away, is visible from the seat. In the order's absence for the dura tion, Navy people have taken over the castle .as living quarters and act. as , caretakers.

He plans to enter the export busi ness with his grandfather or to go to 'work on one of the five daily papers in Rykjavik. Although Americans are steady newspaper readers, Gus says, Ice landers are ahead of them when it comes to the number of papers read "In Rykjavik alone," he said, "there are five daily newspapers for a popu lation of 40,000 persons. Each poli ticai party m Iceland has its own newspaper, so instead: of buying one paper to get both sides of a question you must buy five to get all sides of it at home." Gus gets along nicely with Caro- ina coeds, but he isn't taking one home with him. Three years is a long time to be away, but he hopes some one is still waiting there.

We have not even touched upon our pipe-smoking 'heroes, but since this is extremely nauseating to me, I think I shall suspend the seance and send our purely imaginary characters back into the shades of nothingness, where all such people belong. As long as we do have some of them in the flesh and blood to bother us, I think we should create them all "Nardacs" and send them off to a great but insignificant con ference of some sort which lasts a bit longer (by a few years) than two months. It is extremely amusing to write about such characters, even over their shocked looks and frantic grabbing for political straws. In our "great, democratic" country this will probably not reach the public eye due to the extreme ef forts of our "B. M. O. C.'s" to re strain from public view (and the free press) a revelation that most everyone has already discovered and some few put into fitting words.
