Thui Board Mei State Health Board To Make X-Rays On Voluntary Basis It was reported yesterday through the Registrar's Office that the Division of Tuberculosis Control of the South Carolina State Board of Health will make chest X-rays of all students and faculty members beginning Mon day, February 17. The X-rays, which the division will conduct in association with the Richland County Tuberculosis League and the 'Richland County Health De partment, will be made at the Uni versity Infirmary. It was also stated that X-ray appointments may be obtained from Miss Marshall at the In formation Desk in Maxcy Lobby. The examinations, which may be made without disrobing, will be made free of charge. Although the X-rays will be conducted on a voluntary basis, it is urged that all students and faculty members take advantage of this service. Plans are being made to take 125 X-rays hourly. These reports will be kept con fidential and if any pathology is noted, the individual will be noti fied. A report will be sent to the home physician only on the re quest of the individual. Veterans are reminded that in the event that tuberculosis is diag nosed in their cases, they are en titled to treatment at the Veterans Hospital. Rules Concerning Veteran-Students Announced by VA The importance of new Veterans keeping their mailing addresses current with the Veterans Admin istration, was stressed by Ralph H. Price, Training Officer, in a recent interview. "If veterans want their Vet erans Administration mail to come to the university, they should come to the Guidance Center and get the change of address forms No. 572," Price explained. Such an action on the part of the veteran will minimize delays in receiving subsistence pay, he declared. It is the desire of the Guidance Center that all veterans comply promptly to requests is sued by the Veterans Administra tion and the campus center. Promptness in notifying them of any change in the veterans' course of training, or of any problem that he may encounter related to his schooling, will facilitate the vet erans' program. Meanwhile, Col. Basil M. Parks, assistant registrar for veterans, cautioned the new veterans against making any moves that might en tail changes of records with the V. A. He explained that much correspondence is required to ef fect such changes. The result of this is delay in the arrival of sub sistence checks. An additional reminder regard. ing veterans' pay was made when the Assistant Registrar pointed out that cutting of classes may rcut subsistence checks. Accord ing to regulations of the V. A, the veteran Is allowed two and one-half days absences each month. Every day's absence be. yond the limit results In a partial reduction of payment. Three ab sences In one day Is considered a one-day's absence, according te Colonel Parks. I NOTICEre Postmaster Joe Lawrencere quests that all students refrair from mailing their valentine com. munications addressed to various Iand sundry nicknames such ai Snookcums, Lovey-Dovey, etc., etc The full name must be given, and wherever possible the P. 0. boi number. 1ounces gnation Proposed By on Education GILLIAM announced last week the issioner James H. Sullivan 'rustees. ssued late in the week re ernor, Sullivan said that he wishes of the people as to re to cooperate with your ministration in accomplishing is, in order that there will be no testion as to the legal status of e board." Sullivan's letter said that he ss elected a trustee by the Gen al Assembly but that he had not alified by taking the oath of fice. This resignation closely Ilowed that of Federal Judge orge Bell Timmerman, Sr., who signed for similar reasons. Regent's Plan Proposed Sullivan's action came immedi ely after a House Education >mmittee hearing on a resolution troduced by Rep. Joe Wise of hiarleston, a university student, lling for an investigation of the iiversity's administration. This mmittee heard the protests and e opinions of several students d former students on the ques in of the capabilities and actions President Smith and Captain eedham, his registrar. The committee then decided to cept a substitute plan, offered Rep. Hugo Sims of Orange irg, also a Carolina student, illing for a sub-committee to con der the instituting of a regency [an to govern the state-supported stitutions of South Carolina. Sims .ated that this plan, which would r members of the legislature om serving on such a board, 'ould eliminate competition rnong the schools for appropria ons and would remove "politics" -om higher education in the :ate. This plan was unanimously pproved by the committee and e resolution for an investigation as shelved. The hearing culminated a onth's series of events among em an investigation of the ad tinistration by the Board of rustees and the hanging in effigy f the president in the lobby of e University Post Office.
