Winter Term Pledge List —See col. I Friars Tap > New Members —See cot. 5 VOLUME XLVI NUMBER 51 Men Ratio Increased On Campus Upward swings the ratio of men to women on the campus. Last term it was 1 to 5; last week it was estimated to be 1 to 4. At the close of the first week of winter term registration Saturday, the rat^was, roughly, 2 to 7. Now to be found on the campus are 380 men and 1398 women, a total of 1778 to date which includes the 101 new students this term. Among new students matriculating the men outnumber the women; 56 men, and 45 women. This is no time to change one’s major, but the registrar’s figures reveal that the law school has only 9 women, and all of 40 men. In no other major fields are women out numbered. However the men hold their own in the business adminis tration school with a total of 81 to a t^tal of 141 women. There are 37 women physical education ma jors, and 18 men in that field. Comparing student enrollment totals for the first week of regis tration with the same period last year shows a 20 per cent increase in students, but that does not nec essarily mean an increase in total winter term enrollment, according to C. L. Constance, assitsant regis trar. Since registration began last winter term before New Year’s day, there was an unusually heavy late signup. Mr. .Constance does not anticipate am many registrants oWmg this second and final week. Totals by classes show the jun iors lagging with 14 men and 126 women. There are 30 men and 150 women in the senior class. The freshman total of 795 is made up of 169 men and 625 women; and the sophomore total of 573, 125 men and 448 women. Of the 50 graduate students, 20 are.men and 30 are women. Sororities Pledge 24 Winter term rushing last week listed 24 new pledges divided among the ten out of fourteen sor orities who rushed.

Taylor, head of the psychology department, gives the following reasons for taking the graduate record examina tions, which will be given Thursday, January 25. “I would advise any seniors who are planning to continue with postgraduate work to take the graduate record exam,” Open House Today For Acting Dean All University women will have an opportunity to personally meet Mrs. Golda Parker Wickham, act ing dean of women, this afternoon at a tea given in her honor in Alumni hall, Gerlinger, from 3 to 5. Karl W. Onthank, dean of per sonnel administration, urges all new and old students to attend this welcoming function, and Mrs. Wickham extends an invitation to all women on the campus to visit her office and reminds them that she is anxious to meet girls at the tea. The tea is sponsored by Lincoln (Portland) high school alumnae who knew Mrs. Wickham when she was dean of women of that school. The new acting dean, a graduate of this University and member of Phi Beta Kappa, was recently ap pointed by Acting President Or lando John Hollis. Dr. Uaylor said. These exams, which represent the student's standing in relation to his knowl edge of the subject tested, are de signed to determine his own per formance and to give him confi dence. There are four good reasons for any graduate student to take the examination, Dr. Taylor said: 1. It will be a basis to show how the student stands with respect to other graduate students from vari ous universities. 2. It will decide what chances of success there are in graduate work. 3. It can determine the practical ity of further continuance of the course. 4. It will act as a supplement against further tests to determine the status as a graduate assistant, ant. This examination will be given during spring term, also, but it is more advisable to take it this term as many universities make use of it in applying for graduate -assist ants.

Serious Music Said Necessary As Source of Hope, Inspiration Music in wartime is important as a source of hope, solace, and spiritual encouragement, believes Joseph Szigeti, one of the world’s leading violinists, who will appear in a concert' Sunday at 5 p.m. in McArthur court. “According to popular theory, people in time of stress can’t stand anything heavy,” says Szi geti. “This may hold good for plays and books, but I am convinced that for music this is not true. In times such as these, people need serious music.” Hungarian-born Szigeti has done much to bring to Americans the music he believes they need now more than ever. He has volunteered for USO and army camp perform ances, has raised thousands of dol lar.s for the treasury department, and has made appearances for all the United Nations relief agencies.
