So far, 3679 students have been accepted for the fall semes ter ,according to Robert G. Bernreuter, dean of admissions. Bernreuter said .that with the usual number of refusals this would bring the total down to 3200. The Uniiiersity accepted 3200 new students last year.

She also told Assembly that he had the respect of the group. Alton Kendall, former presi dent of the Engineering-Archi tecture Student Council, de , fended . Marino. He cited his friendship with both Foster and Marino but said that Foster lacks the qualities for the post. A motion to end debate was, proposed by Howard Byers, As sembly minority leader, but wasi defeated. Assembly also defeated a proposal by Jack Crosby (C.-Jr.), which called for Assembly to move into an executive sessionl so that the two men's qualifica tions could be discussed freely. This was ruled out by Assembly', President Larry Byers since the SGA Constitution states that all Assembly meetings are open to the public. Theodore Haller (C.-Sr.) urged that Cabinet give its reasons for favoring Marino over Foster. SGA President Leonard Julius made no reply. Miss Ward then said that it was Assembly's duty to choose an elections committee chair man this meeting so he could be present at the Student En campment next September. She attacked the choosing of Marino, pointing out that he sat on All-University Cabinet for a year, without having the needed qualifications. Miss Ward concluded her state ments by asking: "Are we the peo ple who are going to judge? May be Lion's Paw is." Both Marino and SGA President Julius are members of the senior men's hon orary. Byers once again moved that debate on the issue be ended. This time it was carried. Assembly President Byers call ed for a vote on Marino's appoint ment. A 20 to 1 decision rejected Marino as elections committee chairman. Jay Hawley (C.-Sr.) voted in fay ar of the appointment. Byers then called on Julius to name another person to fill the post. He named Foster, who was approved by the Assembly. Last Issue of Collegian This is the last regular issue of The Daily Collegian this semester.
