I. T. Plan Entries -Early replies from three schools, indicating that they will send boxers to the Eastern Intercollegiate tourn ament March 17 and 18, have been re ceived by officials here, according to Edwin S.

Dartmouth, Penn Reply Although officials at Dartmouth said that the college had no recog nized boxings team, they indicated that several of the intramural cham pions might be worthy of competing in the tournament here. University of Pennsylvania authorities, also wrote that several boxers would prob ably be entered from that institution. Navy's director of athletics replied last week that the . Academy would be unable to enter any representa tives in the meet. However, continued negotiations are being carried on with officials there in the hope that they may enter some of their best boxers, according to Neil M. Fleming, gradu ate manager of athletics here. May Limit Entrants "If favorable' response frdm-n'on member institutions continues, the association officials will no doubt de cide to select the.best imen in the various weights ' to compete in the tournament, instead of having a- large •number enter," ' Mr. ■ Fleming, said. "This would be necessary to eliminate the undesirable feature of having two rounds a day for two' days," he added. Invitation's to compete in the tour ney have also been extended to Army, M. I.

The concensus of alumni opinion as indicated by additional comments seems to be that students should work part time only, borrowing.some mon ey toward the end of their junior or senior years, and then not too much. Preferably one year and not more than two years is cited as the maxi mum time that a student should stay out of college to earn money for his expenses. “A man' does not get full benefit of. his college course when all his time is devoted to earning his way j through,” one alumnus says. “There- J fore, a man should get together thir ty or forty percent of his college ex penses and then earn the rest as he goes through.” «• “My advice to studerfts would be, don't borrow, too much,” adds another ! alumnus. “I should fix $l,OOO as the | maximum. And by all means borrow 1 under thc proper business terms — pay interest, protect yourself with in surance, and pay buck u stipulated amount yearly after graduation. Otherwise your borrowing will be come a nightmare to you.” PRICE FIVE CENTS BOARD OFFICIALS PLAN ALTERATION OF A, A, ELECTION Student Unit To Conduct Annual Association Balloting For Officers CENTRAL VOTING PLACE IN OLD MAIN SUGGESTED Widespread Criticism Prompted Move by Control Group.
