NUMBER 3
All-Campus Athletic Card Canvass Starts
Registrar Sees
5 Percent Drop
In Enrollment
According to estimates and fig
ures available before registration
begins Friday morning approxi
mately 3500 students may be ex
pected to enroll in the University.
This is a decrease of five per cent
from registration figures of last
year.
Supporting this estimate made
by the registrar’s office is the
ten per cent decrease of old stu
dents applying for registration
material given out Wednesday.
There were 805 old students who
applied for material at 5 p. m.
Wednesday compared to 893 for
the same day last year.
A strong turnout for rush
week, however, gives indication
that no serious decrease will be
made. Authorities believe that in
creased opportunities for jobs ac
count for the expected decrease.
For the past few years the Uni
versity has been gaining in en
rollment.
^Registration will begin at 8
a. m. Friday in McArthur court
and continue through 5 p. mV The’
same hours will prevail Satur
day. Freshmen should register at
the hours which have been as
signed to them.
Authorities for registration
urge that old students consult
their advisers before registering.
This will save much delay. New
students are advised to follow
the signs carefully and not to ap
pear at registration before their
assigned times.

Of eminent note

The warrior, the poet who writes

But greater the fame
Of the man who can claim

Hello Dancers Will Meet
In McArthur Court Saturday
Get acquainted. That’s the idea
behind the annual Hello dance to
be held at McArthur court Sat
urday evening.
The initial event on the all
campus social calendar will give
-B^w students as well as old, the
opportunity to meet University
officials and classmates, at the
traditional informal no-date af
fair.
President Donald M. Erb will
head the receiving line of facul
ty members and student officers.
Kwama and Skull and Dagger,
sophomore service honoraries, will
introduce the new students.
A new feature of this year’s
dance will be the tags that danc
ers will wear. Tags will bear the
names of the wearer, and on them
will be printed a large “Hello.
My name is . Who are
you?” These tags were made to
make it easier for the new stu
dents to know each other, ac
cording to Don Swink, dance
cHairman.
Ait Holman’s orchestra will
play for the annual dance, which

Frosh, Exec-Comm to Meet
ASUO Heads
To Fill Jobs
Selection of substitute ASUO
officers to fill executive commit
tee vacancies will be decided Fri
day afternoon by the committee,
unless the group should elect to
call a special election for this
purpose, Lou Torgeson, ASUO
president, revealed Tuesday.
The existing vacancies were
left open when Bob Calkins,
ASUO first vice-president, and
Chuck Woodruff, sophomore rep
resentative, did not return to
school.
According to the ASUO con
stitution, Torgeson said, the com
mittee is authorized to appoint
members to fill vacancies, or they
may choose to call a special elec
tion. Possibility that the commit
tee would decide upon another
election was described as slight.
Class of 45
To Assemble
After ASUO activities have
been explained to freshmen at to
night’s assembly, the frosh may
vote on one of several proposed
class constitutions, according to
Lou Torgeson, ASUO president,
who will preside at tonight’s as
sembly.
Torgeson made clear, however,
that no matter what constitution
the 1945 class adopts, the class
card question will not affect their
decision, because the touchy class
card issue is considered under
“by-laws,” which will not be vot
ed upon at tonight’s assembly.
Class cards for the class of ’45
will not be sold at registration
tables Friday and Saturday, Tor
geson said, explaining that the
frosh would not be “bound before

No Misses
In previous years, Prongas said,
there has been no concentrated
effort to reach students out of
living groups. This year, however,
he hopes to reach all students
outside of houses by telephone,
mail and personal contacts, he
explained.
Actual sales of cards will bd
made at registration tirrje in Mc
Arthur court Friday and Satur
