Deferment Test To Be Given April 24
College men eligible to take the selective service qualification test and who wish to do so in 1952, should file applications no later than Monday, March 10, for the April 24 administration, selective service national headquarters advise.
To be eligible to apply for the test a student must: intend to request deferment as a student, be satisfactorily pursuing a full-time college course and must not previously have taken a selective service college qualification test.
An application and example of the test questions may be obtained at the registrar's office, 122 Strong, or at any local draft board office.
The tests will be given by the educational testing service of Princeton, N. J., at more than 1,000 different centers throughout the United States and its territories.
The criteria for deferment as a student is either a satisfactory score of at least 70 on the qualification test or satisfactory rank in class
Seniors accepted for admission to a graduate school satisfy the criteria if they stand in the upper half of their classes, or make a score of 75 or better on the test. Students already enrolled in graduate schools may be deferred as long as they remain in good standing.
(upper half of the freshman class, upper two thirds of the sophomore class, upper three fourths of the junior class).

These criteria are guides and the local boards are not bound to follow them.

Dorm Counseling Jobs Now Open
Women interested in being freshman dormitory counselors for the 1952-53 school year should obtain applications from the dean of women's office. Miss Martha Peterson, acting dean of women, said today.
Although graduate students, seniors, and juniors receive preference in that order, counselors will be chosen more on the basis of interest, desire to work with freshman women, knowledge of the campus and desire to share that knowledge with newcomers.
Counselors should have a keen desire to help freshman women adjust satisfactorily to the campus, Miss Peterson said.
Applications should be turned into the dean of women's office in the near future, as the counselors will be chosen by April.
Women selected will be assigned one of the freshman dormitories where they will live with their counselees. For her services each counselor will receive her room and board. Her duties other than a two-hour weekly seminar will depend on the dormitory to which she is assigned.

Graduate Student Chosen For Role On Radio Drama
Mrs. Mary Lou Jukes, graduate student in the department of speech and drama, has received an invitation to play in the "Philip Morris Playhouse on Broadway," one of radio's top-flight dramatic shows.
She was asked to be in New York Thursday, Feb. 28, to begin practice for her role on the March 2 program opposite Dane Clark, Hollywood actor. However, the date conflicted with her appearing in the University's third major play production, "The Lady's Not For Burning," which began Wednesday, Feb. 27.
Don Dixon, assistant professor of speech who conducted tryouts for the Playhouse in December, phoned the Philip Morris company in New York, told them the situation, and asked them if they would release Mrs. Jukes from their March 2 program and use her on a later program. The Playhouse replied that it would.
At the December tryouts, Mrs. Jukes made a tape recording of a scene from the Broadway play, "Accent on Youth," and sent it to New York.
"The Philip Morris Playhouse on Broadway" inaugurated the past October a unique career opportunity for college drama students. Each week it selects a talented student actor or actress to appear on the show in a featured role alongside regular Broadway and Hollywood stars.
The student selected receives $250, membership in the American Federation of Radio Artists (radio actors' guild), and all expenses incurred in connection with his appearance on the program.

Rebates Total $15,643.61
A total cash rebate of $15,643.61 has been returned to students by the Student Union bookstore since Jan. 1, L. E. Woolley, director of the Student Union, announced today.
Rebates are offered to students on a basis of profits earned by the bookstore over certain periods of time. This term the bookstore has been able to offer a 15 per cent rebate on all sales. About $21,000 was the amount designated to be returned.
The rebates claimed represent a high per centage for so early in the term. Mr. Woolley said. "Of course, the ideal outcome would be for 100 per cent of students to claim their rebates. Judging from the past five years, however, we can expect to pay back about 85 per cent," he said.

Research Grants Close March 15
Faculty members desiring research grants for 1952-53 from the research appropriation should submit requests not later than March 15.
Two other scholarship dormitories, Pearson hall for men and Sellards hall for women, are still under construction and will not be ready for occupancy for some time, Dean Woodruff said.
Stephenson hall is a memorial to the late Lyle Stephenson, Kansas City insurance man, whose widow willed the Endowment association $90,000 to build the hall. An additional $50,000 was raised to finance the $140,000 building.
Stephenson Hall Ready To Occupy
The lecture, sponsored by Alpha Chi Sigma, professional chemistry fraternity, and the department of chemistry, honors the late Professor Dains, who taught at KU 39 years prior to his retirement in 1942. He died in 1948.
Chancellor Murphy said the budget committee will follow the same policies and procedures as were established last year.
The Stephenson dining facilities will be ready in about two weeks. Until then the men will continue to eat their meals at Battenfeld and Jolliffe halls, Dean Woodruff said.
The hall was scheduled for occupancy in September. Since that time, its residents have been housed temporarily in Robinson gymnasium annex and other men's scholarship dormitories.
Stephenson hall, newly constructed scholarship dormitory for men, will be ready for occupancy Thursday, Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, said today.
Although the kitchen and dining facilities in the basement are not completed, 52 men will move into the three top floors. Furniture is being moved into the building.
Illinois Man To Lecture
Dr. Roger Adams, chairman of the chemistry department at the University of Illinois, will deliver the third annual Frank Burnett Dains memorial lecture at 8 p.m. today, in 305 Bailey Chemical laboratories. He will speak on "Quinone Immides."
Dr. Calvin Vanderwerf, acting chairman of the KU chemistry department, said that Dr. Adams is one of the world's foremost organic chemists.
Several locations will be available. Depending on the persons interested, one plot will be chosen and divided into small areas, for individual gardening. It is planned to contract the preparation of the ground and assess each participant an amount proportional to his share of the land.
Preceding the lecture the annual Dains memorial banquet will be held in the Castle Tea room by members of Alpha Chi Sigma. All interested in hearing the lecture are welcome to the dinner, Dr. Vanderwerf said.
Garden Ground Offered To Faculty
Members of the Kansas City chapter of the American Chemical society are expected to attend the lecture.
A plot of land has been offered by Chancellor Murphy and the Endowment association for use by faculty and staff members for gardening purposes.
Those interested in participating should contact Mr. Beasley at 204 Strong hall or Ralph Birdwhistell at 214 Bailey.
Kenneth E. Beasley, instructor in political science and an organizer of the plan, said the plan is a revival of one that operated for about four years during the past war.
Under this plan, grants will not be approved for general purposes but only in support of specific projects which can be justified by the applicant and defended before any legislative group interested in learning how the money is being spent.
The letter should contain the title of the project, outline of previous research, and budget of personnel and maintenance.
A faculty member seeking support for a particular project should send a letter of application to the budget committee with written endorsement of his department chairman.
Chancellor Murphy said projects will be favored which may be completed within the fiscal year.
Although the project in question may represent basic research, it will be useful to the budget committee to know the practical value of a proposed project pointed out.
In a final section the applicant should indicate percentage of time now devoted to research and percentage of time devoted to research if project is approved.
Chancellor Murphy said that applications for renewal of existing projects should include a report on progress accomplished to date. Supervisors of projects which will be completed under current grants are requested to file concise reports of the work accomplished.
The funds, if granted, should be used mostly to employ clerical and research assistants and purchase supplies and equipment. Although the salary is not for the investigator's salary, this is not the prime purpose of the grant.
All applications for these grants should be sent to the secretary of the budget committee, Raymond Nichols, in the cancellor's office.

The Thrift Books, carrying coupons offering services of 21 Law-
ards to holders of the books, are being sold by 14 students on the campus.
The coupons offer such things as a free ash tray, free tickets to various movie theaters when accompanied by a paying adult, a steak dinner, and a free grease job. About 1,700 of the Thrift Books have been sold as of this morning.
