Deferment Test Slated May 21
Students will have their last chance this year to take the Selective Service college qualification test on May 21, Mai. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of selective service, announced.*
The criteria for consideration for deferment as a student at the present time are either a score of 70 or better on the qualification exam, or class standing among the male members in the upper half of the freshman class, upper two-thirds of the sophomore class, or upper three-fourths of the junior class. Seniors accepted for admission to a graduate school satisfy the criteria if they are among the upper half of the male members of their senior class, or if they make a score of 75 or better on the exam.
Application blanks for the test may be obtained from any selective service local board. Maj. Gen. Hershey pointed out that certificates intended for the earlier test, if not used, will not admit a student to this examination. A new application must be filed.
To be eligible to take the exam, a student must be a selective service registrant intending to request deferment as a student. He must be satisfactorily pursuing a full-time college course, undergraduate or graduate, leading to a degree, and he must not previously have taken the test.

Get Rid of 'Oread-itis'
When your car 'chugs' up the hill then just 'zooms along on the flat and level—brother, you've got Oread-itis!' This too, too common disease is caused by lots of starts and stops sandwiched between hard, tiresome climbs up very steep grades.
There's only one cure. That's to bring your car to the Motor In to have the plugs cleaned and set. Better yet, have the Motor In install brand-new, long lasting spark plugs.

Proceeds from the sale, featuring cookies, cakes, pies, and candies made by chapter members and Lawrence alumni, will be used for a scholarship lodge at Interlocken National Music camp, Interlocken, Mich.

This lodge, now under construction, is a national project of Mu Phi Epsilon, and will be dedicated July 18-19 in accordance with the 50th anniversary of the sorority. Members from all national chapters will attend the ceremony.
The lodge will be a memorial to Winthrop S. Sterling and Elizabeth Mathias, who founded Mu Phi Epsilon in 1903 at Metropolitan College of Music at Cincinnati. Mr. Sterling was dean of the college, and Miss Mathias an instructor in voice.
Four University representatives made the trip to Russell county to acquaint high school students with KU. The plane, a rented Cessna 180, made the trip—195 miles by air, or 230 miles by ground—in an hour and 25 minutes. The return trip was made in an hour and 15 minutes because of a good tail wind.
KU Takes to Air In High School Trip
Ammon Andes, associate professor of aeronautical engineering, who suggested air as a means of travel, said the trip cost the University less than if they had all gone by car and been forced to spend the night in a hotel because of late travel time.
Those who took the trip were Prof. Andes; Miss Jane Moorman, head resident at Corbin hall; Lynn Osborn, instructor of speech, and pilot Norman Hoecker, a mechanic at the aeronautical laboratory.

Red May Day Speaker Wants Military Buildup
Moscow—(U.P.)—Defense Minister Nikolai Bulganin told cheering May Day crowds thronging Red square today the Soviet Union must strengthen her armed forces because the western powers so far have done nothing to lessen global tension.
Bulgain called on the West for deeds, not words.
"The Soviet government will welcome any steps on the part of the governments of other countries genuinely aiming at the easing of tension in the international situation and would like to see the peaceful statements made by the leaders of these governments supported by deeds."
Foreign observers saw something in common between Bulganin's speech and the floats, posters, and slogans exhibited all over the capital.
The theme was "amicable settlement of international controversies," "lasting peace," and "international collaboration."
Bulgarian said that although the Soviet Union would welcome western deeds, "so far there are no signs either of a reduction (by the West) in the armaments race or the closing down of the wide network of the
military bases spreading over the territories of many countries of Europe and Asia..."
Thus, he said, "our government will continue to show due care for the insuring of the defense and security of our country."
