The movies are open to all stu

people who are interested. They

me graduate students increased
exactly double from last years
total from 14 to 28. Among the
schools,, the. .school of law showed
the most surprising increase from
last year’s total of 39 to this year’s
of 101 with the school of business
administration increasing from
last years 198 to this years 386.
Liberal Arts shows an increase
from last years 900 to this years
1142.
The school of Architecture in
creased from 188 to 325 students
while Journalism increased from
145 to 192 students. The old stu
dents slightly out-balance the new
students as there are 1212 new
students and 121 old students. This
is no indication of the final en
rollment and there is still a volume
of late registration being handled.
The enrollment of girls will
exceed the boys by a ratio of
about 2 to 1, which should be a
very happy medium for the boys
but a matter of lamentation for
the girls. The winter term should
bring a sizeable increase in enroll
ment in boys with hopes of the
enrollment being back to normal
by the fall term of 1946-47.

Drowsing Nov/ Passe In
Library Brov/sing Room
Open for recreational reading, the browsing room of the li
brary contains several large collections of books, and is open
daily from 1 :30 to 5 :30. Evening hours will be announced later.
Note-taking, letter writing, and drowsing are the only “don'ts”
for the room. Several ink stains have already appeared on the fur
niture and rugs. Ink may be used
in other rooms of the library.
Furniture for the browsing
room, purchased from gifts, was
planned to blend with colors*in the
room and was made to order.
Book Collections
Book collections include those
from several private libraries, and
many volumes were donated by
University organizations, including
Mu Phi Epsilon, Mortar board,
Phi Theta Upsilon, and the 1944
senior class. Few books for the
room were purchased by the li
brary.
“We want the students to feel
welcome to use the browsing room
whenever they wish,” explained
Miss Bernice Pdce, head librarian.
“Our only rules are for the pro
tection of the room, so that it may
be used for many more years.”
House library collections were
started several years ago by the
inter-fraternity council, and the
Panhellenic council and Heads of
Rouses have kept it going. Purpose
is to send to" each living organiza
tion a collection of books, which it
keeps one month, before they are
sent on to another house. A csA
lection of pictures is also being
.ised in this manner.
