NO. 30. warn ip Enrollment increasing Fast; 660 on Books Before Holidays. 200 STUDENTS ARE LATE IN SIGNING FOR WORK Fine for Tardy Ones not to be Assessed this Term, Says Tiffany. With approximately 1050 students reg istered up to date in the University this term, the enrollment continues to in crease and is already larger than at this time last year. It is expected that the enrollment will soon reach the 1100 rec ord made when the S. A. T. C. 'vas here during the fall term. This is a rapid in crease iu registration, since there were only 0G0 students signed up for work in the University at the beginning of the new term. About 200 students have registered late, 40 of whom were old students who have recently been mustered out of gov ernment service. The ruling which im jioscd a fine of one dollar for all late registrants, was waived for this term, Registrar A. R. Tiffany said today, due to. the general misunderstanding of the registration time limits and to the in fluenza epidemic in many parts of the state. The enrollment figures include 150 special commerce students, whose term will not end until February 1. A gratifying feature of the new en rollment is the total of 50 who are taking work in the School of Law. Many Former Students Return to Campus After Term in Service.

Ex-Soldier Revels In Civilian Life; No Reveille, No Taps Sis o’clock sounded. The former sol dier rolled over on his downy bed. grunted, and went to sleep again. His worries were over- No more did he have to arise in the middle of the night at the bidding of the bugle, struggle into ft cold, clammy uniform, and race out to the cold street, to perform unbeliev able contortions in the name of the all compelKmg physical exercise. Seven o’clock, eight,' nine, passed without disturbing him in the slightest. Finally at 0:30 he arose and donned his easy-fitting suit of “cits” at his leisure, in a warm room, and sauntered forth. Ho spent the morning where he pleased. Bunch was eaten slowly, and enjoyed. No drill, mra kitchen police, no fatigue duty, no reveille, no physical exercteo; absolutely none of the old routine. The former soldier smiled to himself. This was real life. That afternoon he journeyed about the town. There was no more confinement to 'barracks or garrisoni; no more need for faldng passes- In the shows 'he did not need to dodge the military police. He was a citizen of the United .States again, and ns such, he had swine rights and privileges. Again he smiled. It was great. ; But the best part of all came at 10 1 o’clock atright. He did not have to jump into bed with his clothes ora, and snore gently when the N. C. O. in charge of quarters took bed check. He could go to bed when be pleased- No one knew when bo would, and no one cared. : He was really free. No wondmier the ox j soldier smiled. Cause Unknown: Two Men Play Heroes: Furniture and House Insured. Alpha Tau Omega awoke yesterday morning to find their chapter house on Oak street on fire. Firemen worked about an hour before getting the fire un der control. The damage is estimated at about $3,000. The fire apparently started in the basement, but it is not known what caus ed it to break out. When the men were aroused by the smoke about 7:30 flames were leaping the entire length of the chute which extends from the cellar to the second floor. Shortly after the fire department appeared on the scene, angry flames blazed up through the roof and when they began to spread, ladders were hastily put up and one of the fireman, preceded by a venturesome young tar, presumably a member of the fraternity, ascended to the slippery frost-covered roof and assisted in stopping the con flagration. Half of Furniture Destroyed. Thirty-five hundred dollars is the value placed by the A. T. O.’s or. their furniture, about half of which is thought to have been ruined by the fire, smoke and water. The center of the house, through which the chute extends, and the roof is badly burned. The furniture and the house, which belongs to J. Baugh, of Springfield, are said to be covered by insurance. Men Play Heroes. Besides the gob on the roof another hero was discovered in the house. When one of the boys rushed into the room of Don Oxman, a sophomore, and shaking him, exclaimed, “Don, the house is on fire!” Oxman replied, “All right, if it gets serious, let me know,” and he turn ed over for another nap. lie was one of the last to leave the house, but when he did leave he departed in a hurry. 1 WOMEN TO HEAR PORTER -- Y.

Ilerm Diind and Billy Morrison, who must, be reckoned with when prospects for a grand bas ketball season are dismissed.

Eddie Dnrno and “Jake” Jn oobborger, forwards, Si Starr, center, Carter Rwitndon and Nish Chapman, guards. There is enough basketball tal ent in this team alone to make any coach’s mouth water.
