Student Court Lacks Jurisdiction In Traffic Cases Except on Appeal Council Told; Miller Chosen Clerk
The student court has no jurisdiction in campus parking cases except on appeal, or after a fourth offense, the All-Student Council was informed yesterday by an investigating committee.
The warning, which is issued for a first violation, and any subsequent fines for the following four offenses are all handled through the University office. Any case that is a fifth offense, however, is turned over to the court which also takes care of any appeals from previous fines. Several Cases Await Action
Several cases Considerable confusion has resulted from ignorance of the court's constitutional rights and duties, according to Peggy Davis, council president, who says there are several cases now on file awaiting court action.
Miss Davis, as president of the council has the responsibility of seeing that all violators subject to the court's jurisdiction appear before the court at the appointed time. She may, however, appoint someone else to act as prosecutor.
Just ces Sworn in Yesterday
Richard D. Miller, senior in Engineering, was selected clerk of the court in its session yesterday and arrangements were made for the court to be in session at 2:30 Wednesday in the court room of Green hall.
Justices of the court were sworn into office by Miss Davis yesterday. They include Arnold Weidman, law senior, chief justice; John Anderson, law '45; John Scurlock, law '45; Virginia Schaeffer, College '45; Persis Snook, College '45; Comora MacGregor, second year law.

Tentative plans for the entertainment of the Army and Navy men who must remain on the campus during the Christmas vacation season include a basketball game, a Christmas party, and an open house at the Union building, stated Allen Craton, chairman of the committee for entertainment.
"As the plans are now," Mr. Crafton said, "a basketball game between the Army and the Navy will be played early in the evening of Dec. 24. After the game a Christmas party will be given at the Union building. A Christmas tree, presents, Santa Claus, and all the things that go with such parties will fill the evening.
"The Union building will have open house Sunday afternoon, and refreshments will be served to all the service men. In cooperation with the University and military officials, a dance will be given in (the Community building Christmas night."

Bulgaria May Sue for Peace
Bulgaria teetered on the brink between a hopeless war and a negotiated peace today.
Reports received in London told of an emergency meeting of the Eulgarian cabinet and parliament while noisy crowds paraded in the streets of Sofia demanding immediate withdrawal from the conflict.
Bulgaria is sealed by censorship but the flood of dispatches reaching London indicated a strong possibility that she may sue for peace, as she did in 1918, and again become the first warring nation under German control to break away from the central European power which twice in a quarter century provoked war upon the world.
Christmas Seal Drive Started
The campus Christmas seal drive has reached the $150 mark with only three organized houses reporting so far. Miss Joie Stapleton, chairman of the student seal drive, announced this morning. Chi Omega reported first with a purchase of a $25 gift bond. Battenfeld hall purchased a $10 gift bond; the Beta's reported a $5 bond.
Virginia Rader, College junior, is in charge of stamp sales at a booth for Navy men in the Student Union building. The booth is open every noon. Maxine Jones, chairman of the cafeteria booth, reported that the stamp sale to civilians has been good.
Upon completion of his course in OCS, Honorato Echavez of Baltimore, Md., received his commission as a second lieutenant in the infantry at Fort Benning, Ga., Tuesday.
Lt. Echavez was an engineering student at the University last winter. Because of his record in the ROTC here, he was sent to the ROTC graduate camp at Fort Rilev this summer before being ordered to join the Third Student Training Regiment at Fort Benning for OCS.
The student seal drive committee hopes to reach a quota of $500.
