ton Electric Company will ran extra
busses to the game from the cor-
ner of Texas, and Fannin, and be-
cause from the Institute it is very
little farther to the new location
than it is to the Coliseum.
Finally,^ he remarked that the
high school field house offers a
much more compact seating arrange-
ment, with the some 3,000 seats be-
ing much closer to the floor, which
should lend an intimate atmosphere
heretofore unknown in local bas-
ketball games.
Cabaniss also announced that all
seats would be unreserved with the
exception of those sold to season
ticket holders. This means a much
better selection of seats at lower
prices than there has been in the
past.c A £hoice center section has
been set aside for the students.

Enlistments—

students who had talked to the regi-
strar and expressed an intention
to join, but who had not filed actual
papers. Additional interpretation on
the part of the armed forces, how-
ever, has disclosed that the clause
should be construed to mean all per-
sons who had expressed a bona fide
intention to the proper representa-
tive, who in this case is the regi-
strar. The registrar urged all stu-
dents who had been in to" see him
concerning enlistment in the Army
Enlisted Reserve Corps or other re-
serve branches, to see him imme-
diately so that the enlistment might
be accomplished as soon as possible.

after November 1, 1924, but not
after December 31, 1924, shall be
registered on any day during the
period commencing Saturday, De-
cember 26, 1942, and ending Thurs-
day, December 31, 1942;
"4.—During the continuance of
the present war, those who were
born on or after January 1, 1925,

attain the eighteenth anniversary
of the day of their birth; provided,
that if such anniversary falls on a
Sunday or a legal holiday, their

dy following that is not a Sunday

General J. Watt Page, director
of Selective Service for Texas, point-
ed out that a registrant who has
more than one place of residence may
choose one he wants recorded as his
place of residence, but, in making
the choice, he designates the local
board which will always have juris-
diction over him.
Registration places all over the
city have been designated.

The transportation problem was
not considered very critical by the
society, since the Junior is
more accessible to automobiles than
a downtown location might be.
Plenty of automobiles are available,
they reported, but each person tak-
ing a car was urged to triple date
in order to furnish transportation
for all.
