tryout meetings today and tomorrow.
Scheduled for 4 and 5 p.m. both days,
the meetings are designled to introduce new
staffers to the opportunities in news and
feature writing, advertising and business
methods awaiting them on The Daily.
Tryouts are incorporated into the 60
year old tradition that surrounds the
student newspaper plant. First published
_T in 1890 by a group of independent students
to combat fraternity domination of cam-
pus affairs, The Daily since has grown
to be one of the leading college news-
papers throughout the nation.

Experience Pays .. .
V EARS OF DAILY experience have proved
valuable for the thousands of former
staffers now working in news and business
offices of newspapers spread around the
country. Daily alumni have worked for the
three Detroit papers, the New York Herald-
Tribune, the Baltimore Sun, the Elkhart
Truth and numerous other publications.
Though all graduates of the Maynard St.
school have not chosen to work in the jour-
nalistic profession, ex-staff men and women
say that their work on The Daily has been
valuable to them in their work, whatever
dents, women and others will publish the
Daily while many made students serve in
the armed forces. But those who may re-
ceive draft calls in June are reminded
that a semester's work on The Daily. will
be helpful in the service.

Congress Told of
Planned Changes
WASHINGTON-()-The Wage
Stabilization Board hopes to come
up with a formula this week to
unfreeze pay.
And the pressure is on at the
Office of Price Stabilization (OPS)
for quick determination of a ceil-
ing price for raw cotton.
THOSE TWO SUBJECTS, both
major trouble makers, held center
stage yesterday in work of the
agencies assigned to keep the
economy on an even keel in the
period of mobilization.
The hopes of the Wage Board
(WSB) were reported by Peter
Seitz, special assistant to WSB
chairman Cyrus S. Ching, in
testhnony to the Senate-House
"watchdog" committee which
keeps tab on operation of the
Defense Production Act.
The hearing also produced a re-
port, quickly thrown down by
Ching, that he was stepping out
of the WSB post yesterday.
MEANWHILE President William
Green of the American Federation
of Labor complained last night
that the nation's workers are un-
fairly burdened in the fight
against inflation.
With his letter, the labor lead-
er submitted a memorandum on
the views of the federation re-
garding national economic poli-
cies. He called for "a new and
workable price control law which
will permit effective stabiliza-
tion of the cost of living."
On the price front, OPS direc-
tor Michael V. Disalle was under-
stood to have ordered a fast deci-
sion on a raw cotton price aimed
both to appease southern senators
who have demanded full decon-
trol, and to head off sharp rise in
clothing costs.

Full responsibility for "polic-

placed on the shoulders of the
University, Dean Walter Rea,
chairman of the University hous-
Ing committee, said yesterday.
D e a n Rea was answering
charges made by Paul R. Kempf,
' president of the city Board of
Public Works that certain groups
have abused state and local build-
ing codes by inadequate fire pre-
vention devices, overcrowding andi
poor maintenance.

IN PART Dean Rea agreed with
TKempf. He admitted that many
groups have been lax in keeping
their properties at their best ap-
* pearance.
But he noted that an inspec-
tion is made each semester by
the University to see that prop-
er precautions are taken against
fire and unsanitary conditions.

Get 10 Days, Fine
Ex-Student Bookies To Pay $250;
Placed on Two Years Probation.
By DAVIS CRIPPEN
Two former University students, Lee 'Setomer and Robert Mc-
Guire yesterday were finled $250 a piece and sentenced to ten days'
in the Washtenaw County Jail for operating a football pool on campus
last fall.
Each of the men faced a maximum penalty of one year in jail
or a $500 fine.

THE TWO BEGAN their sentence, levied by Circuit Court Judge
,James R. Breakey, immediately after it was imposed.
The arrest and conviction of Setomer and McGuire were the
result of a series of Daily articles on the operations of student run
MSC To Go
On All Year
War Basis
EAST LANSING - IP).- Presi-
dent John A. Hannah announced
yesterday that Michigan State
College will go on a year-around
war-time basis.'
Hannah said the stepped-up'
educational program was asked'
by defense officials anxious to
have college graduates available'
for military service or defense
jobs a year sooner than under thej
present setup.
* * *
UNDER THE new plan, high
school graduates will be able to
qualify for bachelor's degrees in
three years instead of four as at
present.
Greatest immediate impact
of the new program, Hannah
said, will be the enrollment of
a large number of high school
graduates for the summer quar-
ter.
The MSC president said studies
are underway to determine what
courses will be offered, how many
faculty members will be needed
and what provisions must be
made to accomodate the students
on the campus.
He said the college had ap-
proved the plan despite the many
difficulties involved in operating
12 months a year.
"Defense officials have recog-
nized the importance of American
colleges and universities in the
race to rearm," he said. "They
must use their facilities to the
limit in serving the national in-
terest."
football pools which were pub-
lished in the paper last fall.'
The articles charged that un-
noticed by University or city of-
ficials student run football pools
had taken firm root on campus.
After some two weeks of investi-
gation following the articles' pub-
lication Setomer and McGuire
were arrested and it was an-
nounced by Assistant County
Prosecutor Edmund DeVine that
the two had confessed to being at
the top of the campus bookie sys-
tem.
. s s s
AT THE TIME Setomer was a
graduate student in the University
and McGuire a sophomore in the
College of Architecture and De-
sign. The two withdrew from
school recently after completing
the fall semester.
When arraigned last November
the two pleaded nolo contendere.
Yesterday's sentence was imposedj
after two previous postponements.l
$200 of each of the men's fine
will be used to pay court costs.
The remaining $50 constitutes
the official fine. Besides the sen-
tence and the fine, Setomer and
McGuire were placed on two
years' probation.
The two men were visibly af-
fected when the sentence was an-
nounced. A source close to them
said that they had not thought the
sentence would be as severe as it
was.
As far as the University is con-f
cerned, Associate Dean of Students
Walter B. Rea explained last night
that the case was pretty well
closed. He explained that there
might be a consideration of the
case by the Discipline Committee
or Men's Judiciary, but only to
give the University some official
record of the affair.
No University action was taken
earlier, Dean Rea said, awaiting
the outcome of the case in Circuit
Court.

The Western Powers intend to

high allied sources said last night.
There is skepticism about the

IFC Sets Up
RushingAides
A new system of rushing coun-
seling has been set up, the Inter-
Fraternity Council announced
yesterday.
Ten affiliates who are not par-
ticipating in their individual
house rushing, will act as rushing
counselors to answer questions
and give impartial advice to be-
wildered rushees.
The counselors will be avail-
able from 3 to 5:30 p.m. today
through Friday in Rm. 3D of the
Union.
A change has been made in
scholastic requirements, also. " No
student whose overall scholastic
average is below 2.0 will be per-
mitted to rush this semester. This
will enable fraternities to initiate
their spring pledge classes before
the end of the semester.

WASHINGTON, (P)-Chairman
Maybank (D-SC) of the Senate
Banking Committee said yester-
day an investigation of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation,
now under hot fire in Congress,
will be re-opened next week.
The announcement came just
24 hours after President Truman
renominated five RFC directors
whom the Senate had already
twice refused to confirm.
Maybank said a subcommittee
headed by Senator Fulbright
(D-Ark) will conduct hearings
centering on charges that three
of the five directors yielded to
outside influence in granting fed-
eral loans.
Fulbright's subcommittee, with
the backing of the full committee,
issued a report two weeks ago
accusing the RFC of falling under
the domination of Donald Daw-
son; a White House aide, and
others.
The report, which President
Truman denounced as assinine,
specifically named directors C.
Edward Rowe, William E. Willett
and Walter Lee Dunham as hav-
ing "seriously abused" their auth-
ority in making certain loans.
It also named E. Merl Young,
an insurance broker, whose wife
is a White House stenographer,
as having exerted influence over
the RFC officials.

HOWEVER, card sales, which
ran from "substantially increased"

paradoxical question.
Who was getting all the extra
Valentines?
Most coeds, like Nancy Groes-
beck, '53, claimed that they were
receiving fewer cards than ever.
Attributing the decline to "de-
creasing money and decreasing
chivalry" among campus males,
the pretty coed said her whole
house had been hit by the drop.
Miss Groesbeck admitted under
pressure that she, too, had sent
no Valentine greetings this season.
However, Sally Frost, '51, grudg-
ingly admitted that she had sent
at least one card:
"I sent a nasty valentine to a
boy who I haven't talked to in
weeks."
REELING from these two blows,
the valentine custom found a de-
fender in Tink Guthe, '52, who
maintained that Valentine cards
were wonderful.
"Nobody makes people send
them-that's why it's so nice
when they do," she asserted.
But Miss Guthe hadn't sent any
