istration lines and enrollment tie
ups,” was announced yesterday by
Registrar Curtis E. Avery. The
University will revert to an ap

will give each student a special

be filled out and upon return
checked by a clerk at the hall for
completeness, Avery stated.
On the basis of the card, the stu

pointment for freshman week of
fall term to pick up his registration
material. It is especially important
that the appointment notices be

Establishes
Principles
Financial Backing
Presents Problem i
To New Organization
Financial problems plagued tho
United Students' association yes
terday afternoon in their first for
mal meeting, at which the group
also drew up a “declaration of prin
ciples.”
Further problems of the new po
litical party will be ironed out in
an open meeting at 4 p.m. today in
room 105 Commerce. All interested
persons are invited to attend to
day's meeting, USA President War
ren Miller said.
House contributions, the common
means of soliciting political funds,
are not possible for the USA be
cause the organization represents
itself as a group of individual stu
dents rather than as a bloc of
houses. The 25 students who at
tended the meeting were urged to
solicit contributions from interest
ed parties.
The “declaration of principles,”
drawn up by the group yesterday,
follows:
“We want as candidates think
ing people who will accept respon
sibility, who will act for no singlg
organization or group but who will
be responsible to all University stu
dents. v
“We want candidates as individ
uals not as organization represen
tatives. We will not tolerate pres
sure group control of our candi
dates; they will be elected to act
on their own initiative.
>->ur candidates were chosen on
the basis of the broadest possible
representation of all segments of
the University and for their indi
vidual capabilities.
“We appeal to support from the
individual, not from the house of
organization. Our policies are es
tablished in open meetings. We arc
motivated by a desire for responsi
ble student government, responsi
ble to the students who elect the of
ficers, and respected by the facul
ty and administration.
“We want to provide efficient
student government for all of the
students. We are tired of a party
for party’s sake; we want a party
for the University’s sake.
“We intend to be a permanent
group, offering each year a slate of
candidates picked upon their merit
and without regard to their social
affiliations.”
