Richard Rostmeyer, All- College secretary-treasurer, sug gested to cabinet that some stu dents had expressed a desire to wait until friends had signed up for the section before they en rolled. Rostmeyer proposed the amendment extending the time for signing up to 5 p.m. today. An announcement was made last night over local radio station WMAJ announcing the enroll ment extension. System Failed McChesney informed cabinet that similar flashcard set-ups have been used on other campuses using a system such as is now being tried here, or involving the use of freshmen. Similar systems at other colleges have not usually required sign-ups for the sections, but were filled because the best seats were offered. ‘ A freshman system was tried here a few years ago, but it-was not successful. Cabinet also heard a report of the Freshman customs board at last night’s meeting. The report, presented by James Schulte, named the abundance of veterans —about two hundred of them—-as the major customs problem. Be cause of their number the vet erans were not interviewed but merely issued exemption cards. Schulte reported that only 16 customs violations have been list ed so far and that the committee expected the customs program to be a success. Rostmeyer read a letter to cab inet explaining that the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has rejected a check for $959.23 which was collected through Cam pus Chest a few semesters ago. The polio group does not accept money from combined collections. Cabinet approved Rostmeyer’s suggestion to apply this money to the present Campus Chest work ing fund.
