A proposal was also made to allow graduates of junior colleges to compete in intercollegiate athletics during the fall semester, waiting a year to satisfy the residence requirement now in the by-laws. The proposal was tabled by the faculty whose attitude was described by Decen Bashakov as "unfavourable" to the suggestion.

Canautes, director of student health service, this morning reported a total of 27 patients in Waitai, the smallest number that the hospital authorities have been able to report for more than a week, he said.

Proof of Pudding in the Eating Thereof, Men Discover
A good sense of taste has won Fred Gemmill, c. 34, six free meals in the Union cafeteria. Gemmill is the winner of the mystery pudding contest which Mrs. E. M. Evans, director of the cafeteria, sponsored recently to find who had the keenest sense of the taste. Harold Peters, gr., and Harold Dyer, c. 68, were tied for second place and third place. The winning of second place entities Peters and Dyer to three meals. Garett receives on a free meal for his effort.
It was quite amusing. Mrs. Evans said, to watch the boys take a spoon of pudding and taste and then suddenly reach for a pencil and paper. The pudding was composed of 11 ingredients, and when they cut it into pieces, the content, not one of them came within spooning distance of naming the 11 substances.
The four winners were later questioned as to whom they thought possessed the best sense of taste, the boys who had been so raided raised their eyebrows and grinned.
Hoover Would Reduce War Veteran Benefits
President Predicts That $127,000,000 Will Be Saved
He estimated that new legislation restricting veterans' benefits would effect a saving of $127,000,980 but that necessitated an increase in net saving in a result in a net saving of $359,282,37. McHoover estimated that care of veterans for 164 would cost $623,963,000^(1).
Washington. Dec. 7- (U.S.)—Sharp limitation on benefits to war veterans were recommended by President Hoover in his budget message to Congress.
The reductions proposed through new legislation were divided by Mr. Hoover as follows:
pensions $ 11,241,000
Military and medical
compensation
Military and naval
Salaries and expenses $ 2,300,000
Army and navy
Military and naval
insurance
$107,479,000
S 6.000.000
The message included comprehensive legislation written out in detail by the president. He would prevent duplication of benefits to former soldiers by amending laws which now permit such duplications.
The chief executive recommended that veterans earn $1,500 a year, if single, or $3,500 a year, if married, should receive no benefits from the government. Cases have been reported in increasing numbers, veterans' administration officials said, of veterans who were denied disability allowances or other benefits, and at the same time carn good salaries in private life.
Under the section on disability allowances, the president recommended that no veteran in the future shall re-entire his military "together and permanently disabled."
They suggest legislation also would stop a veterans' compensation, disability allowance or other cash benefits if he goes to a United States soldiers' home or other such institution or hesitates and remains for more than 20 days.

Disaster Near at Hand
Mr. Hoover exempted food from his enral tax program, and possibly loathing. He made no mention of beer s a possible source of revenue. He estimated federal needs for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1934, at $218,863,344 ampled with his estimate a year ago f $4,691,479_30 for current年。
Washington, Dec. 7. - (UP)—President Heaver today recommended that emergency balance the budget by enacting a $24.4 per cent general manufacturers' excise tax, continuing the federal gasoline tax another year, and effecting new economies in government peration.
PRESENT
The president's budget-balancing program was accompanied by a warn-er drastic action was needed to avert inaster in federal financing.
The three main points of his proposals:
Manufacturers to Pay Tax
1. A 21% manufacturers' excise tax estimated to yield revenue of $355,000,
90%.
2. Governmental economies designed to save $380,000,000.
3. Continuation of the federal gasoline tax, estimated to provide revenue of $127,000,000.

The president's excise law proposal is simply the result of a house mutiny last winter. It is not termed a sales tax, the annulment asserting it would be levied at one point only, with the manufacturer.
The governmental economies would be effected by:
1. $ salary reductions which, combined with the present furough system, will verage about 148 per cent to those arming with $55,000,000. estimated
3. Savings of $89,386,227 in appro-
riations for war veterans.
2. Elimination of public works.
4. Reduction of $20,000,000 in rivers and harbors appropriations.
5. Cessation of highway construction, a saving of $120,000,000.
6. General departmental savings, the largest being in the agriculture department.
7. Resistance to new appropriations,

The recommended appropriations for
profitable investment was $650,000
less than the original appropriation for
he current year.
In proposing his budget-balancing plan, Mr. Hoover urged: "that every state would have the power to avoid additional obligations not only in the interest of the already heavy burdened taxpayer but in the income taxes paid by the finances of the federal government."
The fiscal policies recommended would cover roughly the first year of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency and would go into effect, if approved by congress, after Mr. Hoover's retirement on March 4.
Tax Would Decrease Deficit
Tax Would Determine.
Mr. Hoover estimated the current, accumulating deficit would reach $437,185,187 by June 30, 1933.
He said there still would be a deficit of $307,185,187 for 1934 if new sources of revenue were not found.
The combined revenue of the excise and gasoline taxes would amount to $420,000. If Mr. Hoover's estimates are accurate, it would create an estimated tax surplus of $840,807,513. The department will debate debt requirements, on June 30, 1934.
Army and Navy to Suffer
A saving of $30,000,000 was estimated in the naval crues, while the army was cut nearly $110,000,000. A reduction in the enlisted marine corps men to 13,800 is contemptated, while the navy is to be maintained at present fig-
