Equipment Drive Results ^surprise Sports Editors The drive for spprts equipment was a success, with an ex clamation point after the statement, in the opinion of Len Earde, war board chairman and originator of the brain storm that the campus should participate in the drive to buy ath letic equipment for the soldiers in the northwest. In return for the check Barde mailed to L. H. Gregory, Port land Oregonian sports editor1 and originator of the plan, Barde re ceived the following letter Mon day: Dear University of Oregon Stu dents: For goodness’ sake, when you contemplate knocking someone dead that way again, will you kindly give us a wee bit of ad vance notice so we can brace ourselves ? Honestly, your totally Kexpected, but widely welcome eck just received of $305.10 as your board’s contribution, has been tire big event of the day. I opened the letter casually, wondering what the student war board had in mind from me. Got a glimpse of that check first. Wowie! With trembling fingers I wont on to read the letter. Then with a whoop I threw same (and check) over to A1 Stump, who has been handling the serv ice men's equipment campaign. He was just as much surprised and delighted, and so was Jimmy Richardson when Stump rang him up. You see, aside from the generosity of the $305.10, it was the last push needed to send the fund to the $10,000 mark. We certainly appreciate im mensely, and I, individually, ap ^•eciate the check, and your ef forts personally, and the gener ous spirit of all concerned, even more so. A1 will give the contri bution a top column in his drive story, and I am also going to make a column mention of it. Many thanks again. Sincerely, (Signed) L. H. Gregory.

You Lose by 148 A total of 443 students have dropped from the University since the beginning of the win ter term, Assistant Registrar Clifford L. Constance announced today. That a considerable num ber of these have been women was shown by the enrollment breakdown, which now shows 148 more women than men enrolled. The final enrollment total lists 2,016 students at the University. This total, however, includes graduate students and auditors. Sophomores Lead Sophomores take the lead when a further breakdown is made. En rollments by classes are: gradu ates, 79; senior, 387; junior, 162; sophomore, 743, and freshman, 718. The totals include 64 new students and 2,024 old students. The liberal arts department, when not divided into its many small groups, has the largest number of students, a total cf -.010. The school of business ad ministration is next with 413, fol lowed by the school of architec ture and allied arts, which lists 200 maojrs. Otner Enrollments The other enrollments by school are: joui’nalism, 143; physical ed ucation, 105; law, 86; music, 83; auditors, 6; general studies, none. The total enrollment figure for this term is final, as Saturday was the last day to register. En rollments for previous terms this year have been: fall, 2,925 and winter 2549. The registrar’s office has post poned the house* grade reports until all ERC withdrawals are taken care of. Since men are withdrawing constantly for the armed forces, the most recent registration to tal given by Mr. Constance, will undoubtedly be the high mark for spring term. All air corps re servists have completed their withdrawals, and ERC men now comprise the bulk of those leav ing the University. Color Movies Shown Today (See Program Page 8) Movies taken in South America in full color will be shown this afternoon at 4 o'clock in Chap man hall and again tomorrow evening at 7 in connection with the Inter-American Relations and post-war planning institute being held on the campus April I and 2. Warren D. Smith, head of the geography and geology depart ments, will show the seven reels of movies that last more than an hour, and all students and faculty members are invited to attend the prog'ram for which no ad mission will be charged. The institute is under the di rection of A. L. Lomax, profes sor of business administration, and the affair is being made pos sible through the office of the coordinator of Inter-American af fairs. Working with Professor Lomax on the committee for the institute are Dr. Victor P. Morris, dean of school of business administra tion; Dr. Waldo Schumacher, pro fessor of political science, Dr. Warren D. Smith, professor of geology and geography; Dr. Leavitt O. Wright, professor of Romance languages; and Dr. Anibal Vargas-Baron, instructor in Romance languages. Dorms Merge in Plan For Any Emergency’ Merger of Alpha and Gamma halls with Sigma and Omega, respectively, was effected last weekend to concentrate the re maining occupants in three halls. Halls now occupied and their new names are Alpha Sigma, Gamma Omega, and Sherry Ross. The ERC call on April 6 is not expected to affect this situation as most of the dormitory ERC men did not register for school •'this term. Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, di rector of dormitories, said. “Be cause there were only 110 men in the dorm, they were moved to fill the south end and leave the other open for any emergency, as we may house military men at some future date.” Deficit: 148 ■As masculine registration fails, Coeds turn from males to mails. —K.S.
