IS ALL CLEAR?
Housing area south of West 15th Street gives way to residence halls.
The sale of student season football tickets for next year is lagging by more than 50 per cent.
Ticket sales lagging
Only 4,116 tickets have been sold to date, Roger Oelschlager, Clay Center junior and Student Athletic Seating Board Chairman, said. Last year at this date 5,541 tickets had been sold.
OELSCHLAGER SAID that because of a mix-up in the Lawrence city mails, the ticket windows in Allen Field House will be opened again at the end of next week. Definite dates and times will be announced later.
The one-day ticket sale will be announced in the University Daily Kansan when it goes on sale again. The announcement will be made sometime at the beginning of next week, possibly Tuesday or Wednesday, Oelschlager said.
mails, reported that no such report of bad service had been provided the office. He said the only problem they had encountered in delivering the letters in question was at one particular address.
He said a significant number of students reported Wednesday afternoon they had just received the letter mailed out April 22 informing them of the ticket sales. Oelschlager said the windows will be reopened to accommodate these students, allowing them their original priority.
Wilbur Rake, superintendent of
HE SAID quite a number of the letters were mailed to students living at the West Hill Apartments using 1012 Emery Road as their address. More than 150 separate dwellings are located at this address, and according to postal regulations the third class mail was marked undeliverable because of insufficient address, Rake said.

he mailed.
Oelschlager said all the letters were mailed on April 22 in one group. Most of the students received their letters shortly thereafter, while a few reported receiving their letters only this week. He could not explain the delay in mail service.
THE BIGGEST individual class decrease is with the class of 1969, he said. He also reported that spouse ticket sales only number half those of previous years.
Oelschlager offered three reasons for slack sales:
- The uncertainty of many male students as to whether they will be returning in the fall because of the stepped-up draft.
- cause of the price increase from $1.50 to $5, which is hoped to finance the new stadium expansion.
- The fact that many more good seats will remain available in the fall because of the expanded facilities.

Last year the Jayhawks were defcled by all four opponents.
deleted by about next fall's sales, Speaking about it, Oelschlager said, "We feel the fall sale may be higher than previous fall sales. Students then will be more reacting for the football season. Some perhaps couldn't afford to buy right now. Some take into account that even when they did not reserve seats, they wouldn't get such bad seats as they would have in previous seasons because of the stadium expansion."

Draft test for 2,005 Saturday
The 2,005 men registered for the Selective Service Qualification Test. Saturday, will not be admitted without the proper credentials, officials say.
Men must bring their ticket of admission, the test center address card and an official document showing their selective service number and the exact designation number and address of the local board Selective Service.
Officials explained Lindley was misspelled on the tickets. They read Lindsey Hall.
FOR THIS SATURDAY, students have been assigned to one of six locations including Allen Field House; room 303, Bailey Hall; room 411, Summerfield Hall; room 308, Dyche Auditorium; room 124, Malott Hall; and room 426, Lindley Hall.
The testing period is expected to last four hours. Students should arrive at the centers by 8:30 a.m.
The test is only three hours long but the additional time is for fingerprinting the testees.
'Luxury hall' to have pool
Preliminary plans were announced yesterday for the construction of four, six-story residence buildings along with a separate central unit containing food services, recreational areas and a swimming pool.
Officials of Jayhawk Investments, Inc., Bartlesville, Okla. will build these residence halls. There also will be a double-level automobile parking space for residents of the halls. The four halls will accommodate a total of 1,056 KU students.
10 students. THE FIVE-ACRE TRACT south
of West 15th Street, across from the KU nuclear reactor building, the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and the Pi Beta Phi sorority, is the site of the future construction.
At least two of the buildings will be ready for occupancy by the fall of 1967. Construction will

GPA vital for deferment

begin late this summer or early fall.
Jayhawk Investments purchased the land in October, 1965. The site consists of eight pieces of private property.
Mr. KU student, exactly where do you stand with the Selective Service and your draft board?
Passing grades, a minimum of 14 hours, and progress toward graduation are no longer all that is needed to stay in school and receive a II-S deferment.
IF YOU are a freshman, you must complete your first year within the upper one-half of the full-time male students in the freshman class, to qualify for the student deferment.
If you are graduating this spring and want to attend graduate school in the fall you must be among the top one-fourth of the male students in the senior class.
If you are a sophomore you must rank in the upper two-thirds of the full-time male students in your class for a deferment.
If you are a junior you must rank among the top three-fourths of your class this year.
IN ALL OF the rankings, "male students are aligned in order of excellence," James K. Hitt, registrar, said. "We are giving the student the benefit of his latest year of work, the 1965-65 school year."
Hitt stressed at KU the men students are ranked according to class, and then school within which the student is studying. For example, the engineering students will be ranked separately from the men in the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and separate still from the men studying journalism.
If you do not place in the above rankings, there is still one prerogative—the Selective Service Qualification Test.
All freshmen, sophomores and juniors who do not rank in the required ratings, may still qualify for the II-S deferment by making a score of 70 or better on the test.
They must also have been accepted at a university or similar institution for the following fall. Graduate students or seniors wishing to attend graduate school must make a score of 80 on the test if they do not meet the other requirements.
Hitt explained that the S.S. regulation 1622.25 issued several months ago, stated any student making normal progress, qualitatively and quantitatively toward graduation would normally be deferred from service. At that time they said the guide lines would be announced later.
THESE GUIDE LINES, the grade ratings and test scores, can be used together or separately,
depending upon the individual draft boards. The reporting of both of these are up to the individual.
The decision, whether to report the test grade or the KU ratings, is up to the individual student.
The test is purely an option. According to officials most students have practically nothing to lose by taking the test. If a student does not place in the required ratings, this could be a determining factor in his education. If a student takes the test his score is automatically reported.
The policy at KU is to have only the grade ratings reported for all the male students who fill out the green IBM card during enrollment.
IT WAS NOT stated at that time that "grades" would be reported, but the registrar's office decided any student who wanted his draft board notified he was enrolled would also want them notified of his class standing.
Hitt said he would be happy to withhold the ratings of any student who wishes them to be withheld. He will also report the "grades" upon request of anyone who did not fill out a card before.
"Will the draft board know my G.P.A.," a KU man asked, No.

FINAL DECISIONS have not been made concerning the exterior of the dorms, but construction contracts for the projects are expected to be put out for bid within a short time.
It is considered economically desirable by Jayhawk Investments to build all four buildings at the same time. The central eating and recreational building is scheduled for completion prior to September, 1967.
To September. Each of the six-story buildings will house 264 students. Each floor will house 48 students except the main floor. The administrative and meeting facilities plus accommodations for 24 students will be located on the ground floor.
THE TWO-MAN sleeping study rooms will be carpeted with a semi-private or private bath. All the rooms will have private phones. Some of the buildings will house men, others will house women.
The rental rates for one of these rooms have not been announced. However, the company believes they will be competitive with existing KU dorm rental rates.
Architects for the complex are Woodward, Cape and Associates, Dallas, Texas. Robertson and Ericson of Lawrence are associate architects.
WITH THE announcements of the multi-million dollar project, Jayhawk Investments' officials announced that E. R. Zook, retiring secretary of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, will be resident manager for the dormitory facilities. He will assume his new position July 1. Zook has been secretary-manager for the past 18 years.
