NS Asks More Girls To Sign Before Friday National Service registration closes tomorrow as Sally Ferris, chairman, issues a final plea for all students to hand in one of the information cards provided at the booth on Jake.

"The object of registration," emphasizes Miss Ferris, "is not to insist that all who register volunteer for National Service work. It is rather to know what students are already doing war work and if they plan to continue, to determine what ones are unable to do anything and to find out who can volunteer, and what they wish to do. Commuters desiring to do some job in their own community may be placed by National Service through the AWVS. Students should indicate if they are doing settlement house work in connection with some course."

A special call has come from the Blood Donor Canteen, 401 Fifth Avenue which is open all day long and until 10 in the evening. Helpers are needed for volunteer clerical work from filing to advanced bookkeeping.

Walter Leege's band also played at last year's China Relief Ball. Committee Chairman Miriam Skinner says, "Harvest Hop is one of our oldest and most popular traditions. This year, when the college is bigger than ever before, I'm sure that Hop will be bigger, better, and even more fun than it has been in the past." HISTORY, FINE ARTS MAJORS TO MEET The History department will hold a meeting for majors on Tuesday, October 17, from 4:006:00 p.m. in the College Parlor.

With Edith Bornn '45 selected as chairman, Representative Assembly chose the National War Fund for the second time as a semester drive in the meeting Monday noon in 408 Barnard.

The choice of this agency, comprising numerous American and foreign relief organizations, was, virtually unanimous, the only other suggestion being one to adopt war orphans and provide for their maintenance. The slate for chairman included Aline Cranshaw Ann Cagnasole '46, Sidney Cook '46, Virginia Sarafianos '46, and Marianne Miller '46. At yesterday's regular business meeting of the International Relations Club, four members were selected to represent Barnard at the Middle Atlantic IRC Conference. The delegates, whose choice must be approved by Student Council at its meeting today, will be: Judith Rudansky, Helen Haight, Hope Simon, Chairman of Political Council, and Gloria Siff, President of IRC. Representative Assembly's next meeting will be held next Monday.

An appropriation of approximately $30 was made to send International Relations Club delegates to the Middle Atlantic IRC Conference. In a discussion of the appropriation, Undergraduate treasurer Mary Louise Stewart in linl ml in debt to the Undergraduate Association $9.37 and that therefore she did not believe that the delegates should be sent by the Assembly this year. Gloria Siff, president of the club, stated that she felt the club would be able to pay off its indebtedness within the next few months from expected dues. The Assembly, feeling that such a conference is of special value at the present time, passed Hope Simonfe motion that the appropriation he made, thus continuing its practice of sending IRC representatives. The number of delegates, usually four, was left undetermined.

A.A. To Welcome Freshmen At Barbecue Sunday "The largest turnout ever" is being prepared for by Camp Committee as '48 freshmen look forward to their introduction to Bar- nard Camp -next Sunday at the annual freshman barbecue. Elbis Allalemdjian, Camp Chairman, urges all new students to come to Ossining and take advantage of this opportunity to get acquainted with the camp where they may spend weekends with their clubs and with their friends during the rest of their career at Barnard. New students are invited by tlhe Atheltic Association, but old students may also attend if they pay for their food. Tickets for the lat- ter are sixty-five cents for day students and forty-five cents for dorm students.

They will be sold on Jake at noon today and tomorrow. Dinner is served at one, but barbecue-bound freshman can come any time during the morning. Train schedules are posted on the Bulletin Board inside the north entrance of Barnard Hall, near the sign-up poster. "Take an early train," Camp Committee will tell vou. There will be volley ball, baseball, and hiking for any who want to participate, both in the morning and in the afternoon.

A fire will burn all day in the fireplace of the camp's living, room for less energetically-inclined Bar- narditee. The weekend of the Barbecue is an open weekend for any old students who wish to sign up. Tickets for the weekend will also be sold on Jake today and tomorrow. Barnard Camp, at Ossining, New York, is thirty miles from the city, back in the Westchester Countv woods. The building was donated to the college by the Alumnae Association.

Camp is populated almost every weekend of the school year-by club and class groups. An occasional Open House weekend is held, for which any group may sign up. Camp posters are always to be found on the bulletin board at the north end of Barnard Hall. Hold Frosh-Soph Party Tomorrow Frosh-Soph party is planned for Friday the thirteenth, but Helen Whitecotton, Soph Social chairman, is sure this will not at all dampen the high spirits of the festivities. To be held in the gym, with a tariff of five cents for dorm students, and sixty for non-residents, the party will begin at 5, and go through supper to 7.

The annual get-together is a means of introducing the classes and of promoting comradeship between the traditional opponents of Gre-ek Games. There is a sign-up poster on Jake, and tickets will be sold on Jake from 12 to 1 Thursday, October 12, and also the day of the party. COLLABORATION RULE Students are reminded that collaboration with Columbia College organizations, as well as othei outside organizations of all van eties whatsoever, requires the spe cific permission of Student Conn cil and of the Faculty Committee of Student Affairs..
