Thoroughbred turtles must complete the following qualifica tions: two months old and old er. and six inches long and un der Returning champion Tuffy, representing Tufts t'niversity. scampered down the 35-foot run way in a record 58 8 seconds last year. The University of Nevada. Colgate, and Montana State came through with the next three places. After running two heats, 14 finalists competed for t h e championship. Although the University is not renowned for its strong turtle teams (even if Playboy's bunny cast it a favorable nod) it may enter this year's competition and plod away with the prize. Turtlr Immortality There are* two ways to enter the contest For the University to participate in the excitement of the race, several groups on the campus, such as the always-ready to-try-something new fraternities and sororities and the always - ready-to try-something - once dor mitories, could sponsor turtles in several preliminary races. The winner would be sent bark to Washington, and if it should win would be destined to turtle immortality. The second choice is to send Turtle International $6. Turtle International representa tives would then buy a turtle from a reliable stud farm in rural Wis consin and enter it in the Uni versity's name. On Feb. 26, after six weeks of fund raising by American Uni versity, the assembled turtles and their coaches will participate in the race. It is a little hard to imagine what strategy the turtles will use, but it would be a little strange to see 51 turtles fighting for the pole.

Those present at the meeting voted unanimously to draft a resolution in favor of keeping Dean Burch as National GOP Committee Chairman.
