cally in our time."

Low
First Count Shows
836 Registered
A preliminary card and head
count in tho middle of registration
last Tuesday afternoon revealed
approximately S3G registered stu-
dents for the spring semester.
"That's not quite as much as I
had figured it would be" stated
Mrs. n 0. Herring registrar. "It
seems to mo that this time last
year our figures wont over that
total but there's still tho rest of
the week for late entrants."
Falling short of the 1095 record
total set this past fall students
were still crowded Into two large
rooms In the library in attempts to
finish the helter-skelter of the
long lines and jumbled classes.
"I wouldn't expect mid-term
registration to exceed that of tho
Fall because more students fail
and drop out than new ones enter"
Mrs. Herring said.
The new carbon-copy system
which was orientated last semester
was smoothed out in many areas
but numerous students were still
able to become utterly confused.
One young man who has been
here several semesters and been
through it all before walked out of
the reserve reading room in an
exaggerated stagger and trance.
Tlie effect however was rather
typical.
"There's no way of telling yet
just how many more will register"
emphasized the registrar.
Still to be counted were most of
tho now students and registrants
for courses offered in the evening.
Campus Has Face
Lift For Spring
Howard Payne will enter the

provements that it did not have
