Students To Collect Toys Beginning
The University YWCA and the
Urban League are sponsoring for
young Lincolnites a toy library
similar to the book-and-record
variety patronized by adults.
On Saturday mornings chil
dren between the ages of four
and 11 will be able to come to
the Urbaif League at 2030 'T St.
to select and check out a toy '.for
a week. Each participating child
will have an Index card and rec-
cords kept will indicate the con
dition of the. toy when it is re
turned. TOYS, SUCH as a doll car
riage, scooter and large toys will
be available if the child has
taken fairly good care of prev
iously borrowed toys. "Adop
tion" papers granting ownership
will make it possible for girls to
"adopt" dolls of which they seem
particularly fond.
Janice Osburn, University
YWCA director, visited a similar
toy library in Providence, R. I.,
one of the four in the United
States, reporting that children
lined up a half -hour before
opening time.
BEFORE IT can begin opera

To 1350
Underclassmen
Sent Majority
By Tuesday 1,350 students
will have received one or more
down slips. Of these, about 450
students were down in two or
more subjects.
However, Lee W. Chatfield, as
sistant dean of student affairs,
said that many of these downs
are due to illness or unsatisfac
tory work in one test and do not
necessarily indicate failure.
FRESHMEN AND sophomores
receive the most downs. There
are three categories of down
slips: "I" or incomplete; "C", in
dicating unsatisfactory work, but
redeemable; and "F", whith
shows failure.
The new system of having
downs at the end of the fourth
and tenth weeks instead of the
sixth and twelfth was set up to
aid the new students. .
Chatfield said that by finding
out a student's deficiencies be
fore the semester is too far along,
the student can.be aided by the
faculty or helped with study
habits.

Big Four Meet OK
With British Cabinet
Eden Expects Early Conference
By WILLIE DESCII
Staff Writer
British Foreign Minister An
thony Eden announced to the
House of Commons that the Cab
inet has agreed to Russia's offer
of a Big Four meeting in Berlin.
Eden stated that he had every
reason to believe the United
States would agree to the con
ference and that the four foreign
ministers may meet at an early
date.
In addition to approving the
Big Four meeting, the Cabinet
also approved of Churchill's pro
gram for the Big Three meeting
in Bermuda this week with
President Eisenhower and French
Premier Joseph Laniel.
Eden added that the Russian
note means that the Soviet gov
ernment is prepared to meet
with1 the United States, Britain
and France "without conditions."
However British press reports
have contended that Washington
did not take such an optimistic
view of the prospects for four
power talks.
