NATION-WIDE ■ RAIL-AIR SERVICE Frosh Fracas Settled Today Whether or not nominations made at a freshman nominating assembly October 2 are valid will be known by noon today, when the ASUO judiciary committee releases a decision, the result of «. meeting Thursday afternoon, i The committee was asked to review the facts on the meeting, with an eye to determining whether or not adequate notice of time and place of the meeting had been published. Several edi tions of the Emerald, prior to the assembly, had reported that the meeting was scheduled for the music building. Late Thursday af ternoon, however, ASUO Presi dent Lou Torgeson, in charge of the assembly, discovered that the music auditorium was not avail able. Torgeson shifted the meeting to VillaM assembly, and had all living organizations contacted by telephone. Men were posted in the music building to refer per sons reporting there to Villard for thp meeting. Some organizations, however, subsequently claimed that they had not been contacted. The con stitution, adopted by the class September 25, provides that no tice of the time and place of class meetings shall be published in the Emerald a week before the meeting. The committee met Thursday afternoon to consider the facts surrounding the case, but an nounced no decision, in accord ance with their policy of with holding information until a writ ten report of the decision is made. This policy is followed regularly except at times when teh decis ion is of immediate importance, such as the commtitee’s ruling the first ASUO elections illegal last May.

Frosh Likes War Always eager to scatter a creery word, the health service has a bit of encouragement today for another service unit, the mili tary. The nurses state that they found yesterday that not every fellow enrolls in ROTC because it is required. With the customary stream of evasive males which floods the dispensary on “war” days for excuses came a unique individual Thursday. The atten dant filled out an excuse for him since his foot was obviously in no condition to plod the military path. “Oh,” said the dough-boy when he saw how easily it was Coming, “but I don’t want an ex cuse. I wanted to drill. Well, I'll take it along, and if they don’t want me, I’ll use it.” So the nurses conclude that at least Berkeley Snow likes his military training. Hospital rolls include: Grace Henry, Alevena Marshall, Bar bara Essex, Lulu Pali, Norma Dare Trevarrow, John O’Brien, Olver Stendal, Willis Elliott, Jean Dutton. Don Stephens was checked off the list Thursday night. Dr. Egbert S. Wengert of the University of Wisconsin has been appointed to fill the Carter Glass chair of government at Sweet Briar college.
