to plan their time for their exams is mere ly the tentative one this sched ule will be revised from time to time until it will most nearly suit the majority of students due to the fact that there are

for structural changes in drown hall alumnus listed missing is prisoner after being reported as missing in action 18 months ago lt col onel alvin t wilson has finally been heard from in a letter to his son alvin who is a freshman presently enrolled at lehigh lt col wilson explained that he is in the phillipine islands as a japa nese prisoner of war and so far has not received any bodily injuries lt col wilson is a graduate of lehigh in the class of 1921 and is a member of the phi delta theta fraternity before pearl harbor lt col wilson was morale officer of the 4th division stationed at fort ben ning ga where he held the rank of captain in the early part of 1941 he was promoted to major and ordered to the philippines where he was placed in the field artillery stationed at cebu city when the japanese destroyed his base he was moved to mindinao and promoted to lt colonel when the philippines fell lt col wilson was automatically listed as missing in action and it was not until re cently that his family had a post only 190 out of 530 students cast votes will choose new chairman at next meeting 43 epitome nearly ready the 1943 epitome due on the campus since june is expected to be ready for distribution by octo ber 30 at the latest according to prof wallace r biggs faculty ad visor for this year's epitome the last of the art work and copy were sent to the publisher this week two outstanding features of this year's epitome are the four-color art paste-on of the alumni's me morial tower featured on the front cover and a complete index of all organizations intended to make the job of locating facts much easier three weeks ago when pi delta epsilon took over the task of com pleting the epitome there were about 60 pictures missing no ma terial edited on the sports section and no copy on the faculty and ad ministration last monday all art work was mailed and on tuesday all sports copy was sent to the printer plan june 44 issue in spite of a weakened campus morale plans are being laid and a neucleus is to be formed the lat ter part of this semester for a 1944 epitome the outstanding obliga tion of the yet unborn 44 staff will be to turn the volume out by next june's graduation another im portant point is that the 44 epi tome will feature the graduating classes of february 44 as well as june and october the 1944 epitome will naturally be smaller than the previous 350 page publications it is not ex pected to run to more than 200 or 250 pages because of so few fra ternities and other campus organi zations remaining along with the fact that future graduating classes will be much smaller professor biggs wishes that any students in terested in the compiling of the 1944 epitome contact him as soon as possible arcadia announces the election of william c hittinger feb 1944 john donahue feb 1944 and john e doxsey feb 1944 to the arcadia governing 5-man commit tee approximately 190 out of the 530 lehigh students cast ballots the three men chosen were within one vote of one another while i reid collmann also feb 1944 was fourth with just two votes less originally it was plan ned to have the student body vote for three men two from the classes of feb 1944 and june 1944 and from the oct 1944 group the point of asking for one choice from october was to place a man from this class on the committee how ever this did not work out so that no candidate from this class will serve on the present committee glenn murray and blame fer rell both advanced rotc men will remain from the commit tee the three new men will meet the two old members to se lect their new chairman at the next arcadia meeting usually the man receiving the largest number of votes is automatically made chairman but the results were so close that this will not be done last election for some time the 5-man committee selected to replace class officers will not hold elections for some time in the future since the next five in order from the past election will fill the positions if for any reason any member of the present committee leaves school the man with the next number of votes will fill the position the three men just re placed are ken swayne m e bernie egan
