FROSHTOVOTE ON NEW YEARBOOK APPROPRIATION Proposal Made For Separate Pictures In Yackety-Yack Early next week, Dudley Cocke, new freshman president, will call a class meeting to vote on the question of having individual pictures in next year's Yackety Yack. An investiga tion into the matter has been made by Ed Maner, Fred Rippy, and Jack Lynch. The charge for having each picture made will be one dollar per person. An additional dollar and twenty-five cents is necessary to print the photo in the yearbook, running the total for including each individual's picture in next year's Yackety Yack, two dollars and twenty-five cents. This is an in crease of two dollars over the present fee. -Under the existing system, separate group pictures are made of both the freshman and sophomore classes, often resulting in confusion in both photo graphing and identifying the students. If the new measure is passed, the ad ditional fee will be included in the regular, compulsory class dues. To pass the new ruling will require the vote of fifty percent of the entire class. If the first year men decide to have individual pictures in the Yack ety Yack, it will set a new precedent, and serve as an example which the new freshman class will probably fol low. In commenting on the proposed mearare, Jack Lynch, editor of the year book for next year, stated, "The merabers of the freshman class now 3 have the opportunity to express them- selves on having their individual pic tures in the Yackety Yack for next year. The PU board 'and the staff of the publication have now left the final decision up to the members of the class." Ed Rankin And Harold Cook Are Dorm Presidents Ed Rankin was elected president of Old West in Wednesday's dormitory election and Lewis dormitory elected Harold Cook for president. Old West is holding a runoff for viee-presidency between Charles Bar rett and Tom Edwards. Lewis dor mitory will hold a re-election for the office of vice-president due to the fact that John Williams, elected for that office Wednesday, is ineligible because he is a sophomore. Polls will be open again to select the vice-president of Lewis the entire day Monday.

Geneticist Outlines X-Rau's Effect On Genes Stadler, Speaking To Sigma Xi, Shows How Rays Produce Unlike Parents-Children An offspring with very little resem blance to its parents can be produced by X-ray treatment of the reproduc tion mechanism of its parents, Dr. L. R. Stadler, principal geneticist for the United States Department of Ag riculture, tr 1 members of the Univer sity chapte ' Sigma Xi, national hon orary scientific research fraternity, Thursday night. In explanation of the genetic effects produced by X-ray treatment. Dr. Stadler reviewed the process of hered ity. The cells of every living organism are constituted, for the major part, by a jelly-like substance known as plasma. The center of the plasma is the nucleus, containing rod-like struc tures, chromosomes. The number of chromosomes vary in every individual. In man there are 48, in corn 10. The chromosomes carry the bearers of the characteristics of the individual the shape of the liver, ears, mouth, emotion traits and sex, for example. The bearers are known as genes. Each gene bears a definite trait, which will be transmitted to the children, making it identical with the parent in that par ticular respect.

SE LF-GOVERNMENT TO BE STRESSED AT MAY 15-19 MEET Session Planned As Forerunner To Frosh Orientation In Fall By LOUIS HARRIS The Student council yesterday set May 15-19 as the date for a Campus Government Conference, to serve as a training session for all campus officers and leaders in all student activities. The purpose of the general campus conference is to provide the students and leaders with a better understand ing both of their own positions and the whole scheme of campus government, as applied to all student-activity life. The council stated that a strong need exists for organization officers, above all other students, to have a bet ter knowledge of (1) technical require ments related to their position; (2) the function of their organization and its relation to the general camDua scheme; and (3) the theory and prac- ' tice of student government here the powers and functions of the various organs in our structure. It was also pointed out by many that we are now in a new-height pe riod of illiteracy in regard to general knowledge of and participation in self government, and that intensive efforts are needed to raise the literacy leveL A thorough study of activity life and the basic problems of student govern ment by a large cross-section of stu dents should do much to clarify the system we live under, the council ex plained. Although the Student council is the initiating force in instituting the pro gram, the Board of Directors of Gra ham Memorial is assisting I jT backing the conference financially. A planning committee has been set up, consisting . of the following members: Bob Ma gill, chairman; Jim Davis, Miss Mel ville Corbett, Allen Merrill, Charles j. uuuiu ii ai, tfuuu uiai&, uiuviu Patten, Jack Fairley, Tim Elliot, Bill Dees, Dewitt Barnett, and Fred Weav er. The conference will include a gen eral session and several sub-group gatherings. Leaders for the groups have not as yet been selected, but are expected to be chosen from the faculty and seniors who have received experi ence in student government this year. The general session will include: a survey of history and status of stu dent fees; explanation of the student government theory, under which will be the history and a defining of the responsibilities and principles of the honor system ; and student government practice, with the functions and pow ers of the ' governing bodies, the ad ministrative boards, and the legisla ture fully dealt with. Several sub-group meetings will be held, taking up parliamentary proce dure, secretarial duties, organization and leadership, audit board functions and Student Activities Fund pro cedure, publications, fraternity organ ization, and dormitory organization.

And well might these American young men apply the statement to themselves. Will they be back in college next fall or will they be behind one of Uncle Sam's new guns? A startling series of events have focused in the public mind the one im portant question, "Is there going to be a war, and if there is, how can we stay out of it?" College and univer sity students, 54.3 per cent of them, join with the majority of the people of this country in favoring a national, referendum before the United States drafts men to fight away from our shores. This is pointed out in the latest (Continued on page U, column 4)
