Union Plans Still
Under Surveillance
There are no definite plans yet
as to what the new Student Union
Building will look like, according
to President F. L. McDonald.
Norris Kelton, dean of student
life, is working on space require-
ments and a preliminary layout.
As soon as all details are com-
plete, architects will be called in
to draft working plans.
The union eventually will be
expanded to include all space in
the Union-gymnasium building
and mdny modem features will
be added, it was indicated.
'Juke' Box Got Name
From Jouke Joints
By Mary Williams
Some words have strange be-
ginnings, and most all have inter-
esting origins.
“Jouk,” meaning to dodge or
move quickly, is an old Eliza-
bethan word which was discard-
ed by England some time ago
but lived on in southern parts of
America.
It was applied to places where
liquor was sold in prohibition
days (“jouk joint”). When the
automatic phonograph swept to
popularity in such shops, they
came to be called “jouke,” or
juke boxes.
Here are other interesting word
origins:
Alarm—From the careless in-
terpretation of the 17th Century
command, all arm!
Abracadabra — This word of
medieval magic is traced to a
mythical sun god, summoned to
the magician’s aid. But also, in
numerology, its letters add up to
365 so that it encompasses the en-
tire year and the powers of the
365 attendant spirits of the Lord.
quate supply of test application
blanks on hand for draft-eligible
students.
To be eligible to apply for the
college deferment test a student
must: 1) Intend to request defer-
ment as a student; 2) be satisfac-
torily pursuing a full-time course
of instruction, and 3) must not
have taken the Selective Service
College Qualification test pre-
viously.
Another test will be held April
23, 1953, but General Hershey
emphasized that increasing man-
power demands make it impor-
tant ithat draft-eligible students
who have not taken the test do
so as soon as possible.
The present criteria for defer-
ment as an undergraduate stu-
dent are either a satisfactory
score (70) on the test or specified
rank in class (upper half of male
freshman class, upper two-thirds
of male sophomore class or upper
three-fourths of male junior
class).
General Hershey has emphas-
ized many times that the criteria
are a flexible yard stick and that
standards may be raised anytime
necessity for manpower demands.
Local draft boards are not ob-
liged to consider the test scores
or class standings and deferment
in no way cancels a student’s
obligation for military service, it
has been pointed out.
