Both a social and business meet ing will take place to acquaint the new students with the history of the Yeomen and their traditions. By attending this meeting, new comers will be aided in taking part ^ in all branches of campus life and making acquaintances with the older groups as well as other new students, Frank Hodson, president, said. i Kettles Bubble As Colds Throw 'Ob Poison Oak Poison oak remedies take a back seat as inhalations and ir rigations take the center of the stage in the campus hospital’s starting lineup. Teakettles were resurrected and a new supply of paper bags was secured when six students reported early in the week with fall colds. Not proud of her distinctive position, Irene Havern started the pre-school rush on the in firmary when she was admitted Sunday.

Registration To Commence Fridag at 8:00 Undergrads to Get Forms Wednesday In Johnson Hall The long lines of registration will begin forming in McArthur court at 8 o’clock Friday morning, September 27, and will continue until 5 p.m. Saturday, the regis trar's office reported today. New students will receive regis tration material in the east hall of McArthur court Friday morning after filling out preliminary forms in the north upstairs hall. All graduate students, auditors, and old students who were not on the campus during the spring term of 1939-40 will get registration ma terial at the registrar’s office in Johnson hall. Students who were registered at the University last year can ob tain registration material Wednes day in Johnson hall. Registration material will con sist df a copy of the students rec ord, a study program. Full Tuition Fee Due on First Dai] Students Needing Funds May Apply At Registration The installment plan of paying' tuition has been abolished this year, according to a recent deci sion of the State Board of Higher Education. The full tuition pay ment of $39 will be required on registration day. Out-of-state students will be re quired to make a payment of $39 at once with the balance of $40 due October 15. Included in the regular tuition fee this year is the admission to concerts sponsored by the ASUO, Emerald subscription, lectures, gym suit and laundry service, health service, use of the library, and the regular class enrollment. Students who find difficulty in paying all the tuition may borrow from the student loan fund on ap plying to Dean Earl, who will maintain a table at McArthur court registration day. The fee for the loan service will be 25 cents for anything smaller than $10, and 50 cents for any thing larger, if repaid within one month. Simplified bookkeeping and the fact that only one fourth of the student body availed themselves of the loan privilege were reasons for the change, J. O. Lindstrom, busi ness manager of the University, announced. There will be a meeting of all ASUO athletic card salesmen at McArthur court Wednesday morn ing at 10:00.
