to perform during the half time
to the extent that the Vander
bilt band direc tor declared he*
would never again perform at
the University The Vanderbilt
University band director fur
ther informed authorities that
several band instruments were
broken and pilferage of hand
equipment occurred
The game was also delayed
due to the* number of students
on the field and the tact that
many students circled the* field
two and three times Under
Southeastern Conference rules
the home* team may be* penal
ized for such delay at the refer
rees discretion The* referees

ic Association was concerned
about the Senior Parade and
felt it would be impossible to
meet the commitments for this
year s Homecoming Parade
and permit the Senior Parade
at the same time
The committee suggested
after discussion that a group
composed of Dean Tate. Dean
Suthern Sims and John Cox.
among others met with Coach

lowing recommendations
•That the Senior Parade be
continued as a tradition at the
University.
•That the Senior Parade be
moved from Homecoming to
another home game preceeding
Homecoming and that it be des
ignated as Senior Day
•That the University Union
Program Council be charged
with the responsibility of or

gram of activities for Home
coming and for the proposed
Senior Dav Senior class offi
cers and their appropriate stu
dent groups will be included in
the* planning committees
IN FINAL discussions and
planning for Senior Day. it was
com luck'd that before the game
seniors will stand to the side of
the field and cheer the Bulldogs
as tiiey enter the field At half
time the seniors will march
from the east to the west gases
of the stadium, along the stu
dent side of the bleachers
Rita Poetter President of
the University Union, said
meetings will be held with the
various organizations on cam
pus to explain in detail the Sen
ior Day Activities
Miss Poetter said she hoped
the new Senior Day will be ac
cepted by the student body and

Associate news editor
Male students who are physi
cally unfit for the draft but who
have not already been classi
fied 4-F should fill out a Univer
sity Health Services form to
release their medical records
to their local draft boards
• The most important thing
about the draft as far as we re
concerned is having the student
keep his local draft board in
formed about his current medi
cal status.'' said Sue Clasen.
medical records librarian at
University Health Services.
She pointed out that there
are a lot of men on campus who
have significant medical prob
lems followed by University
Health Services doctors or by
hometown physicians, and that
this information should be re
leased to the student's draft
board
THE SELECTIVE service
law requires each registrant to
notify his local draft board
within 10 days of any change in
his physical condition wich
might affect his draft status
Mrs Clasen stressed that
draft boards should be kept in
formed about a student's medi
cal condition or progress made
on a problem “Unfortunately,
a good many students come in
with their notice to report for
induction physicals - at that
point they aren't giving them
selves a fair chance, she said

Then it is almost always too
late for our records to reach
the local draft board before the
student's file there is sent on to
the central examining station.
Mrs. Clasen said
She explained that the only
thing the Health Services can
do then is give the student a
statement concerning his medi
cal history to take with him to
the examing station — and this
does not carry nearly as much
weight as his medical record
She said that it is against
University Health Services pol
icy to give the student a copy of
his medical record to take with
him. as all records are kept
confidential
“WE NEED to be told in
advance when a student wants
his medical record released to
his draft board.' Mrs. Clasen
said Anytime a student
comes here to request that his
records be sent and there is no
immediate threat of the draft,
he has only to fill out a form at
the reception desk '
11 he has to report for an
induction physical later on. the
examining physician will al
ready have the information and
can confirm our records and
possibly reclassify the stu
dent. she said The student s
homeotown doctor's record of
his medical problems should
also be sent to the local draft
hoard.
Mrs Clasen again urged stu
dents to request that their med
ical records be sent to the local
I board immediately after re
ceiving their classification no
tice if they feel the board
should be informed of a medi
cal problem
Mrs Clasen listed three ways
the University Health Services
can release information
•Copies ol the medical record
may be sent directy to the local
Iraft laiard where the student's
*ecords are held, provided
here is time
MRS. SUE CLASEN
Assists students
•Copies of the medical re-
:ord can be sent to another
ihvsician who is also treating
the student This physician may
prepare a summary of all pert
inent treatment
•When there is not enough
time to complete other steps, a
statement of condition may he
prepared by the medical re
cords librarian for the student
to take with him to the examin
ing station

about the release of medical
information for draft purposes
