Try Camels in your "T-Zone" (Taste and Throat). Let your own experience tell you why more people are smoking Camels than ever before!

As a preliminary step in the right direction SCHOLASTIC enthusiastically refers students, faculty and administration to the splendid article by Martin McLaughlin, entitled "Catholic College Students Again," which appears in the September 13th issue of Avierica. No Longer Forgotten The long-forgotten freshmen have finally felt the spirit of Noti*e Dame friendship. As over 500 first-year men hit the campus last week, they were met by a rousing orienta tion program. In three evenings they saw movies about the university, met the administration and faculty, got ac quainted with student leaders, and finally wei*e introduced to one another at a mixer. Two organizations were responsible for this most thought ful program—the Blue Circle and the Young Christian Stu dents. Unfortunately, both long have gone unnoticed in the helter skelter of campus life. Yet both groups have always been the first to pitch into any task, however large or small it might be. i Take the Blue Circle, for example.

Roughly, one-third (Continued on Page 31) he may delegate his powers. The vice- presidents are in charge of the respective national commissions; domestic affairs, and international affairs. The secretary is charged with maintenance of the national office, including files and corres pondence. The treasurer makes up the budget, collects the dues, and keeps the accounts of the organization. A GREAT DEAL of emphasis was laid on the principle of regional auton omy; it was recognized by all that the action of the NSA would be done locally and regionally; and that it could not be dictated from the central office. There are twenty-five geographical regions; the State of Indiana constitutes a complete region in itself. Regions are required to establish a Constitution, to hold regional assemblies, to elect a president, vice- president, secretary, and treasurer, and ^ to set up whatever machinery is necess- sary on a regional basis to carry out the national commission programs. Beyond the stipulation that the regional activi ties must not conflict with the national program, there is no further interfer ence. Miscellaneous provisions of the Con stitution include the following: (a) Im peachment process. (b) Requirements for membership (ratification of the Con stitution and payment of dues); (c) structure of the nine-man "adult" ad visory council; (d) Provisions for affilia tion with outside organizations -(Must be ratified by a majority of the member colleges) (e) Amendment process; (f) ratification provisions (must be accom plished by a majority of the Madison- represented colleges within three months) (g) an enabling clause to per mit the Executive Committee to proceed N.SJI.

HE EXPLAINED that the following types of housing were decontrolled by \ I the new rent law which went into eflFect on July 1: (1) Accommodations in hotels, motor courts, and tourist homes. (2) Accommodations, the construction of which was completed on or after February 1, 1947, or which are additional accommodations created by conversion after that date (except those built with the You^re the help of prioi-ities under Public Law .388). man most (3) Accommodations not rented be tween February 1, 1945, and Jan likely to uary 31, 1947 (other than to mem bers of the immediate family of succeed! the occupant). Dwelling units of these types were re ..in moved from control to induce pr'operty owners to put additional accommoda tions on the rental market. As to rentals that remain under con- ti'ol, Mr. Jackson pointed out that home owners who rent out sleeping rooms from their own private residences are not sub ject to the eviction set foi-th in the new rent law. This means that a person renting out a non-housekeeping, furn ished room within a single dwelling unit not used as a rooming or boarding house would find the amount charged regulated by the rent law, but would be able to evict the tenant without reference to the rent law. THE EASING of eviction on this type of sleeping room ought to remove one stumbling block of renting such rooms on the part of property owners who fear they would not be able to evict an un desirable tenant.
