If occas ion arises where these students face disciplinary action again, Simes said, this case will be con sidered with the next violation. The parents of the students have been notified, he said. The students tried to register out of turn by registering early or having someone else register for them, Registrar C. O. Williams explained. After they were caught by College officials and turned away, they returned and tried to register .again. When caught the second time, their forms for regis tration were taken. They were permitted to register Wednesday and started classes Thursday. Success of the new system of registration, Williams .said, de pends on the alphabetical arrange ment. If students register out of turn, confusion and slowing down of the system will result. The sys tem, he said, is designed to be as efficient and speedy as possible. Students, regardless of the be ginning letter of their last name, will be permitted to register twice while in school at the head of the registration arrangement. This means that in four years, a student should register first in order twice.

Students View Korean War— See Page 4 Illness Called Not Serious By Dr. Glenn Influenza at the, College, which so far has filled the In firmary to over-flowing, was termed not serious yesterday by Herbert R. Glenn, director of the College Health Sendee. Forty-one beds were filled in the 30 bed-capacity Infirmary late yesterday. Extra beds were moved to the Infirmary from nearby .wo men’s dormitories to take care of the present rush. The beds were placed in the sun rooms or dou bled-up with others in the usual one or two-bed rooms. A total high of 43 was reported at one time yesterday. Glenn said he believed the sick ness was probably grippe, and not flu, as called in papers throughout the country where the illness has been noticeable; Grippe, although similar in symp toms in influenza,- is not as ser ious, he said. The illness of the students is characterized by chills and aching muscles, Dr. Glenn said. Dressing warmly and other precautions will not prevent the disease. ' Because it is a contagious or contact disease, he said, merely attending classes can expose the student to the illness. The disease is thought to be a virus disease, he said. Students who have been in the Infirmary with the flu usually stayed there three or four days. They are released 24 hours after the fever subsides. No students have been turned away thus far. How many more beds could fit into the Infirmary could -not .be immediately determined. Asked what might happen -if a major outbreak of the sickness hit the campus, Glenn said it would be up to the President’s' office and “that bridge will be crossed when we come to it.” UN Executive Will Discuss Korea Tonight Dr. Andrew W.
