Men students will get the real lowdown on coeds since more than six pages will be devoted to the results of the survey alone.

WEATHER— Fair. Rising Temperature. || PRICE THREE CENTS At 2:30; Morning 73 Boxers Register; .21 Colleges Compete By STAN PoKEMPNER Collegiate boxing’s biggest show, the seventh annual NCAA Boxing Tournament, gets under way at 9:30 a.m. today when 73 boxers, representing 21 colleges, who registered yesterday will be paired for preliminaries, starting at 2:30 p.m. today and continuing at 8 p.m. today. •.According to registration up to last midnight, the final entry list has fallen two 'below the record set here in 1932 at the first na tional collegiate tourney. Last minute entry-cancellations by Southwestern Louisiana Institute, Catholic University, and The Citadel pulled the expected rec ord list down. Medical examinations will be given the contestants at 8:30 a.m. today. Pairings will be drawn at a meeting of the Boxing Rules Committee, coaches, and officials in the office of Dr. Carl P. Schott, dean of the School of Physical Education at 9:30 a.m. Five former champions, three of whom will defend their titles again this year, will be seeded favorites after the drawings. Ted Kara, Idaho co-captain, will'seek his third national title. He will defend his 120-pound title this year and his brother, Frank, will attempt to bring back into the family the 127- pound title Ted won in 1939. Johnny Joca, Florida’s color ful lightweight, will defend his 135-pound championship against Gene Rankin, 1939 135-pound champion. Laune Erickson, Idaho 175-pounder, is the other defend ing champion. Heavyweight champion Nick Lee, out most of the season with mumps, will box for Wisconsin in the 175-pound class this year. Penn State’s seven-man team, dogged by bad breaks in dual meet and the EIBA tournament at Syracuse, will be out to show its guests that playing host is not all the Lions know how to do. LA Council Plans 12 New Members A revised membership plan to include five commerce and fi nance students, five arts and let ters representatives, and two journalism majors was passed last night by the Liberal Arts Council and petitions for pros pective members called in by Thursday, April 3. Six juniors and six sophomores will be selected from the peti tions submitted to the council, each bearing the names of 30 students in the curriculum and class which the person desires to represent. Only requirements are a “1” average, and registra tion in the particular depart ment to be represented. Four women—one from com merce and finance, two'from arts and letters, and one from jour nalism—are to be included in the total number of delegates. All petitions may be signed by men and women. By electing only six sopho mores to the council, the body will remain the same next year but will be reduced to half its present size the following year, thereby providing a smaller and more-compact group.
