Tribunal Hears 3 Cases
On AA Ticket Exchanges
Tribunal last night heard three cases of senior men who
attempted to exchange underclass football tickets for tickets
in senior sections. Athletic Association office records show
they were issued senior seats at registration.
Decisions in the cases will probably be announced today
by Assistant Dean of Men Harold W. Perkins.
Probation
Urged for
4 AIM Men
The Association of Independent
Men's Judicial Board of Review
last night recommended to the
dean of men's office that four stu
dents be put on office probat:on.
The recommendation included
the stipulation that the four, all
freshmen, take individual Satur
day night duty tours with the
weekend duty counselor. All four
reside in the West Halls area.
The students were found at the
scene of a disturbance in Watts
Hall on Oct. 8, by a dormitory I
counselor. Upon investigation of
the disturbance, which included
several other students, the four in
question were found to have been
drinking. All four readily admit
ted this.
All four also previously admit
ted having been informed of the
University regulations concerning
drinking. They said that the
dormitory counselor told them
that he would enforce these reg
ulations.
The students admitted having
been at a fraternity and having
been drinking but denied that
they made any undo disturbance
upon arriving back at the dormi
tory.
Office probation means that the
students will have to report to the
dean of men's office at intervals
to be set by that office.
All decisions of the board are
in the form of recommendations
to the dean of men's office and
may be appealed to that office
within five days.

fice would exchange tickets for
seniors who had been issued un
derciass seats at registration.
Exchanges Wade
"Quite a few students came into
the AA office and exchanges
were made_ Then we became sus
pcious that something out of line
was going on," Ernest R McCery,,
dean of the College of Physical
Education and Athletics, said in al
letter to the office of the dean
a men.
After AA officials checked
their files, they discovered that
the students in question had al
ready been issued senior tickets.
"They were attempting to ex
change underclass tickets for sem
ior sections with the statement
that' they had been issued these
tickets in the underclass section
instead of the senior section,' Mc-
Coy said.
Senior Requests Exchange
One student, a senior in me
chanical engineering, said he reg
istered during the last hours an
Friday. Sept. 16, and was assigned
to section EK (junior-senior sec
tion).
He said certain students at his
fraternity were trying to =-
change tickets in order to sit with
girl friends. He •exchahged his
ticket for a junior section with
a member of the house, he said.
After being informed that sen
iors could exchange tickets, he
went to the AA office. No ex
change was made after officials
checked the files and found he ,
was issued a senior ticket in the'
junior-senior section. •
He told Tribunal last night he
thought the entire section was for
juniors.
A second student, also a senior
in mechanical engineering and a
member of the same fraternity,
attempted to present a sophornare
ticket of a friend who is a mem
ber of the Blue Band. He wished
to obtain another senior ticket
for his girl friend, he said.
The third student / a senior in
arts and letters, claimed that he

Vet Enrollment Grows
' The value of the G.I. Bill to
American colleges and univer
sities is well exemplified at
the University.
Figures released by the of
fice of veterans' affairs show
that over 63,000 veterans have
taken advantage of the bill since
its inception in 1044.
The number of veterans on
campus this semester has not
been compiled as yet. However,
it is expected to equal last se
mester's figure which was close
to 2000.
Veteran enrollment at the uni
versity has grown steadily since
the spring semester of 1944 when
only tw'o vets enrolled under the
G.I. Bill.
This number swelled to almost
6000 in the fall of 1946, the peak
period of veteran enrollment at
the university.
After law enrollment gradu
ally decreased to a low of 1166 in
1953. The drop was expected since
