Truman Neutral On Extension Of G. I. Bill To New Draft
President Truman, in a reply this week to Lee Stiles, vice chairman of the University chapter of the American Veterans’ Committee, refused to commit himself on a resolution sent him three weeks ago calling for extension of GI benefits to new inductees.
A second resolution, sent at the same time, had called on him to recall Congress into special session which he did last week.
Senator Claude Pepper, also answering, commended the group and promised to do all in his power to push the Taft Ellender-Wagner Housing Bill through the Senate.
Representative George Smathers also promised to push all vital legislation overlooked by the last session of Congress.

San Sab Coeds To Feature Act At Free Dance
This week’s free dance at the North campus tennis courts will feature a special added attraction. The San Sab Honeys are planning to do parodies on popular songs, but the men, led by Jimmie Chap pas, will get a chance to answer.
Attracting approximately 600 students every week, the dance program has proven very popular this summer. Norman A. Whitten, director of summer school activities, hopes that the crowd will go over the thousand mark tonight.
It is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. with alternate periods of dancing and periods of the entertainment The subject of the parodies had not been revealed but the men had better be ready for anything, according to Virginia McBride and Miriam Acenbrack, who are in charge of the song entertainment.
Also scheduled is Carl Einig's band who will take time out from its “serious” playing to do a takeoff on a German dance band. All that will be missing for the latter will be the beer.
Donning short pants and comic hats, the boys will give out with several numbers illustrating the “strong rhythm" they think characteristic of most German bands, ac cording to Mr Whitten.
And to add to the general confusion, a barbershop quartet will contribute its voice
Shy men and coeds will have no problem meeting dancing partners or getting enough to eat and drink, Whitten said. “A brand new hostess club of San Sab girls will be on hand to introduce students to each other and serve the chow,” he explained. Just formed at the last dance, the organization only had six members there, but 25 are expected Friday night, Whitten continued. Misses McBride and Acenbrack are also sponsoring the club in addition to their song program. Girls who do not live in the dorm but want to become members of the club should contact either of these girls
Dixiecrot Revolt Serious
Students Divided On Election
Student sentiment on the Tru-man-Barkley ticket and the Dixie crat break ranged from hot indignation to enthusiastic approval. A campus poll indicated a half and half vote between the GOP and the Democratic party. Although a previous poll revealed luke warm sentiment on the Dewey-Warren nominations several stu dents expressed the opinion that Truman should be retired to pasture.
“I think this is going to be a Republican year,” was the opinion of Charlie Natsis “The Democrats don’t seem to have much of a chance The people want a change.”
Scoring the Southern revolt was Pnul James who opined: “The South isn’t upholding democratic
principles and does not seem interested in the welfare of the rest of the nation. This break along with the Wallarcites may eventually dissolve the Democratic party completely. It’s happened before.” Staunch Democrat George Kar ras favors Truman over Dewey “I believe the Dixiecrat bandwagon is slacking its pace and Tru man will get in.”
Exclaimed Lenorc Friedman, “The Dixiecrats are doing a fine thing in checking the Democratic party. I hope the Democrats lose.” Another pro-Trumanite, Kurt Jorgenson, said: “The Truman-Barkley ticket is the best thing that has happened since the Roosevelt regime. The Dixiecrats will fizzle out and eventually re turn to the fold.”
“The Southern Democrat schism will seriously affect Truman’s chances His ‘civil rights’ program cost him many votes And he was a weak president, besides,” was the opinion of Arthur Sarett.
Blaming the Republican Congress for “messing things up” is Bill Moeser. "Truman has been trying to please the people and always run into opposition from Congress. He won’t have any trouble winning because I think he’s the people’s man.”
“Wallace is my man,” exclaimed Sheldon Reid. “The Democrats have shown their weaknesses both as to choice of candidate and to unity of party Truman has neither the stature nor the strength to be president.”
men planning to enroll for the semester must pick up permits which will be given out all next week starting Tuesday at the registrar’s office during the same hours.
Students who do not have permits will have to wait until Aug. 3 to register. Classes will start on Aug. 3.
With this new system, inaugurated at the beginning of the first summer session this year, registrar’s assistant Henry Troetschel said that 200 students could be registered every half-hour, a total of 2,200 a day
Tn this way,” Troetschel explained, “we can keep registration flowing at an even pitch instead of having a few students at one time and 500 in the next half-hour. It was very successful last time.” Troetschel was noncommittal on the expected number of registrants, but said he hoped for the same number as enrolled this term, although, "there is no way of telling.” A record count of over 3,000 was made in June. This included regular students, teacher training entrants, adult division registrants, and graduate students.
Two records of the graduate school were broken this session, Dr. J. Riis Owre, graduate school dean, announced. Not only did this term find the largest number of graduates in summer school, but also the largest ever enrolled in any semester, spring or fall.
Many Barred From Schools, Pre-Meds Told
About 63,700 prospective doctors had to turn their hopes and talents to other fields this year because medical colleges could accommodate only 6,300 of the 70,000 applicants
These figures were revealed at the installation dinner of the University’s new chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta, national pre-medical fraternity, by Dr. H. E Setterfield, national president.
This situation will become worse in the future, he lelieves, since sta tistics show that more students become interested in the study of medicine every year in spite of the high requirements for entrance, the hard grind, and the length of time required to complete the necessary study.
Dr Setterfield also stressed the importance of psychology in medicine, declaring that a good physician will understand and apply it. “Patients should be treated as individ uals, not subjects,” he said.
Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, University vice president, gave the fraternity an official welcome, and Dr. Charles Doren Tharp, dean of administration, gave the invocation
