Views Desired
On Ring Design
Student consideration of pos
sible changes in design of the
school ring was suggested fol
lowing Thursday’s Cabinet ses
sion by James Balog, chairman
of the committee investigating
proposed changes.
Balog reported to Cabinet that
queries had been sent to, some
60 colleges asking information
on how they determind designs
for their rings.
Balog told the Collegian ,he
hoped to get some design offici
ally adopted this year. The pres
ent design never has been ap
proved officially either by the
Beard of Trustees or Cabinet, he
said.
He said he also hoped to see
realized a program to regulate
of the rings.
Stating that the present ring
does not contain symbols associa
ted with the College, he said that
the seal in. the present design
is .a cross between the seal of the
state and that of the College.
The word “The” also is omitted
from the official name of the
College on the design
The present design did riot be
come standard until 1927, he add

reduction in service on all rail
roads with less than a 25-day
supply of coal, effective next
Tuesday midnight. The Inter
state Commerce Commission said
that ordrir will continue in effect
for two months.
The move is perhaps a hint that
government seizure of struck
mines is not far off, .the
agency explained.
Russians Indicted
WASHINGTON Russia’s
trading corporation in the United
States, AMTORG, and six of its
officers have been indicted for
failing to register as agents of the
Soviet Union! One of the officials
is in Russia, but the five others,
are in the United States. The five
have already been i arrested by
FBI agents in New York.
Reds Receive Sentence
WASHINGTON—Judge Harold
Medina pronounced sente n c e
yesterday on the 11 top com
munists convicted of conspiring
to teach the violent overthrow
of the United State government.
Ten of them were given five
years in prison plus a $10,009
fine, and the 11th, because of a
fine war record, received three
years and a $lO,OOO fine.,
Johnson For Unification
WASHINGTON— Defense Sec
retary Louis Johnson let it be
known yesterday that-he is 100
per cent behind unification. He
said that there is an essential role
for each branch of service under
the program. Johnson said he is
doing what lie believes is right
to give the American taxpayer
his full dollar’s worth. As the
house hearings ended, unifica
tion, as such, was given a pat on
the back by both our wartime
Army Chief of Staff, General
George Marshall, and Fomer
President Herbert Hoove*.
