UNCERTAINTY EASED:

nd veterans information.

Designed to keep male stu-
dents informed of the most, cur-
rent data available in these vital
fields, the bulletin board draws
on government authorities in De-
troit, local veterans administra-
tion offices and campus ROTC
and NROTC units*for its infor-
mation.
Soon to join the board is a
bulletin and pamphlet informa-
tion table at which students will
be able to obtain copies of the
latest draft regulations.
In the few days since its be-
ginning, the board has attracted
a steady stream of students, to
the basement lobby, most of them
wearing worried frowns. But, ac-
cording to Union Staffman Fred
Ittner, with a rundown on the
draft regulations the creases eith-
er disappear from their brows al-
together or at least become less
pronounced.
"Most of them find out that
they are not as bad off as they
expected','Ittner explanied. "They
discover that they can stay in
school for this semester, at least,
if their grades are reasonably
good."
"I only wish we could have
made this information available
earlier," he went on. "Then per-
haps we wouldn't have lost all
those students who enlisted rather
than take the chance of being
drafted."
Prof. Ackley
Named Aide
To Johnston
Appointment of Prof. Gardner
Ackley, of the economics depart-
ment, to the position of economic
adviser to Eric Johnston, director
of the Economic Stabilization
Agency, was announced yesterday.
Prof. Ackley has been granted
a leave of absence for the second
semester by the Board of Re-
gents but if his work in Washing-
ton extends beyond that period
it is expected that his leave will
be extended.
Prof. L L. Sharfman, chairman
of the economics department,
termed the appointment "an im-
portant post" and added that
"the University is making an im-
portant contribution to the hand-
ling of the national emergency."
The ESA post is not the first
government jab in Prof. Ackley's
career. From 1941 to 1942 he ser-
ved as consultant on the Nation-
al Resources Planning Board and
as economist in the Office of
Price Administration.

GETTING THE SCOOP -- Sanford Rosensweig, '53, and Ellis
Treatman, '52L, check the latest draft regulations on the Union's
new bulletin board. Although both are fairly sure of finishing
the current semester, Rosensweig, taking no chances, crosses his
fingers.

New Eligibility
Rules Called
Successful
Eligibility rules for taking part
in extracurricular activities begun
last semester have been success-
fully followed, according to Ruth
Callahan of the Office of Student
Affairs.
"We are particularly pleased
with ineligible students who have
dropped out of activities of their
own accord," Mrs. Callahan said.
"The list of violators has been
small," she added "The University
will tighten up even more this
semester so that as few as possible
will slip through."
Any regularly enrolled student
above the rank of first term
freshman is eligible to participate
in non-athletic extracurricular
activities if he is not on academic
discipline.
However, a first semester fresh-
man is authorized to participate
in the Marching Band, Arts Chor-
ale and the glee clubs.
Restrictions include those who
are on academic discipline and
part-time and special students
carrying less than 12 hours. De-
pending on the school or college
in which the student s enrolled,
"academicf discipline" may be
termed notification, warning,
probation or action pending.
In a few extraordinary cases,
Mrs. Callahan said, special per-
mission may be extended to in-
eligible students by Dean of Stu-
dents Erich Walter or Dean of
Women Deborah Bacon.
Daily Donates
J-Hop Money
To Polio Drive
Money from the Daily's J-Hop
extra totaling $35 has been do-
nated to the March of Dimes
campaign, bringing the final fig-
ure for Washtenaw County to
$21,000.
Although money from the extra
was about the same as last year
the amount given by dormitories,
sororities, and fraternities was
doubled and contributions of
University employees substantial-
ly increased. The Ann Arbor total
is $13,626.
The polio drive fell $3,000 short
of its original goal but contribu-
tions are still coming in and of-
ficials are hoping to make up part
of the deficiency.

S e v era. political scientists
groaned yesterday after receiving
reports that Georgia had become
the 31st state to ratify a pro-
posed Constitutional amendment
limiting the Presidency to two
terms.
Prof. Samuel Eldersveld retort-
ed to one query, "It just doesn't
make sense." He could see no
reason why a limitation should
be placed on voters in deciding
whether a president deserves a
third term.
"It seems to me that the people
of the United States decided this
issue in 1940 and again in 1944,"
he explained in reference to
President Roosevelt's third and
fourth campaigns against Wen-
dell Wilkie and .Gov. Thomas
Dewey.
A COLLEAGUE, Prof. Marshall
Knappen, agreed with Prof. El-
dersveld and added, "Apparently,
Republicans are backing this
amendment as a slap at the mem-
ory of President Roosevelt. But
wait until they want to run their
own man for a third tc n."

If 36 states ratify the pro-
posal, it will become the 22nd
amendment to the Constitution,
in sequence to the 21st, which
repealed Prohibition. It has un-
til March, 1954, to win approval
of three-fourths of the states
to become law.
First proposed by Congress in
1947, the amendment has yet to
be approved by 17 states. Michi-
gan ratified the amendment in
1949.
According to the Associated
Press, Arizona is expected to pass
it soon, but six are believed likely
to turn it down. They are Ala-
bama, Tennessee, Rhode Island,
North Carolina, Nevada and
Maryland.
Kentucky has beaten it down
twice and in the doubtful column
are Massachusetts, West Virginia,
Texas, Oklahoma, South Caro-
lina, Minnesota, Utah, New Mexi-
co, Georgia and Washington.
