Rising Costs Up UO Board Bill Two dollars per month will be added to the present board rates at the University, effective imme diately. Room rates will repiain unchanged.

Mrs. Turnipseed said that there is a large waiting list for rooms at the men’s dorm, which has been filled for several months. Mrs. Al ice B. Macduff, housing secretary, is attempting to get rooms in town for those on the waiting list, and any cancellations at the dorm are given to those on the waiting list in order of precedence. Help Requested I The grounds around Veterans’ hall have recently been seeded. Co , operation is asked in giving the grass a chance to grow.

Changes For Vets Announced Several changes in the registra tion procedure for veterans this term were announced yesterday by James D. Kline, new assistant reg istrar in charge of veterans af fairs. Veterans this term will be is sued a new style identification card which will be used for one term only instead of for three terms as in the past. Each time a veteran registers for a new term he will receive a new card. In the past, the same identification card was used for all three terms of a school year. Second Change The second change will affect the issuing of books and supplies. Beginning this term veterans will use the official class cards to se cure textbooks. Under the new reg istration set-up—which will affect all students—class cards are not left at school or department of fices. They will be left with the cashier when a student pays his fees at Emerald haH. A veteran must first get each of his class cards endorsed by the school or department before pre senting them at the book store in the Co-op. If a veteran drops a course he must return any text books for that course which he has drawn under the G. I. Bill of Rights. The drop card will be stamped at the Co-op when all books for the course have been re turned. A drop card will not be accepted by the registrar’s office unless it has been staamped by the Co-op.

Avery to be present for registration early in the week if possible to avoid con fusion when new students are pro cessed at Emerald hall later in the week. Students will find only two forms in the registration envelope this year—a registration card which combines the several cards used heretofore, and the usual class cards. The student will also re ceive a time schedule book. The last page of this will include trial study programs for the year. Also contained in' the envelope will be each student’s dexigraph.

Must Complete File Before leaving Emerald hall, all veterans must complete a file of special documents and obtain their validated identification cards. Each student goes next to his adviser. Adviser assignments and appointments should be made at the office of the dean of the school or head of the department where the student has his major. After consultation with his adviser each student will receive an endorse ment on his registration card. Next, students must take their class cards to the departments where a special department stamp will be placed on the card. Under the new registration system being inaugurated this term all class cards will be retained by the student until he completes his reg istration. Return to Hall After all class cards have been stamped students will return to Emerald hall where they will get a housing endorsement on their reg istration card. Following this a representative of the registrar will check the cards for completeness.
