Locomotive Derailed
Chicago, May 12—(U.P.)-A freight locomotive was derailed at Cleveland in an alleged act of sabotage today as the coast-to-coast railroad strike forced 150 thousand rail workers into idleness and tightened its grip on dependent industries.
A New York Central freight locomotive hauling 59 cars over struck tracks from Chicago to Buffalo was derailed at Cleveland's Collinwood yards. D. W. Taylor, New York chief of police called it "a deliberate act of sabotage." He said he had called in the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Chief Taylor said the front wheels of a two-unit diesel left the tracks when an automatic switch failed to close because a piece of wood had been jammed into it to keep it open.

Business school seniors soundly defeated the business faculty 22 to 10 in the annual Business School Day softball game Wednesday.
Business Seniors Win Softball Game
The seniors scored in every inning. They gained their biggest lead in the third inning, when they scored 12 runs.
The faculty team didn't get started until the last inning. Hindered not a bit by the no-hit pitching of Jim Blocker, they scored six runs.
The score between faculty and seniors is now even. This year's win, coupled with last year's, makes up for losses to the faculty in 1947 and 1948. One straw-hatted senior expressed his attitude by remarking, "Watching them get beat helps make up for four years of exams and shotguns, even though it is all in fun."

Veterans Need Certificate To Enter Graduate School
Any veteran who wishes to enter graduate school must obtain a supplemental certificate of eligibility and entitlement whether he attended school here prior to entering graduate work or not,Mr. E.R. Elbel, Director of Veterans Service, announced Thursday.
Prior to this time a supplemental certificate was required only if the student was transferred from another school. Applications may be obtained at the veterans service office.
When a veteran transfers from one division in the University to another, it is considered by the V.A. as a change of course and the veteran must request a supplemental certificate before he can pursue the new course on the G.I.Bill. The V.A. will accept the recommendation of the University in this respect. However, such application must be made prior to the start of the course. Only one such change may be authorized by the University.
"If a veteran completes work in a field and wishes to take additional undergraduate work in that field he must convince the V.A. that it is necessary for his rehabilitation," Elbel said. In such a case it will be necessary for the veteran to request a supplemental certificate of eligibility and receive approval from the VA.
Applications for supplemental certificates of eligibility must be made prior to the beginning of the new
course because entitlement is not honored to the veteran until the certificate reaches the regional office of the VA.
"For graduate students who are working on a thesis and expect the assistance of the VA on having the thesis typed, bills must be presented and dated prior to the close of this semester," Mr. Elbel said. "In other words, the thesis must be completed in the semester in which the veteran is enrolled. After Saturday, May 20 no supplies will be honored to veterans for the current semester.
