Enrollment Totals
Set Spring Record
All records for spring term en
rollment at the University were
shattered yesterday when 132 more
students registered, bringing the
total to 3418, Clifford L. Con
stance, assistant registrar reveal
ed. The previous high mark was
3301, set in 1940.
This term’s registration is a 109
per cent increase over the num
ber enrolled at the same time last
year.
Nearly as many have registered
during the first three days of this
term as were enrolled during the
whole if winter term when 3423
entered.
Although Constance expects the
total registration to surpass the
3500 mark, he does not believe that
the all-time record of 3705, estab
lished in the fall term of 1940,
will be broken.

According to Karl W. Onthank,
dean of personnel administration,
Dr. Newburn aims to make an an
nual address to students. This will
be his first assembly talk this yea*',

in great demand as a speaker
throughout the state.
Wide Experience
Dr. Newburn has had much ex
perience in the field of education
as teacher, administrator, superin
tendent, professor and dean and is
therefore well-qualified to speak on
the subject.

State Teacher’s college where he
participated in basketball and foot
ball. At the State University of
Iowa in 1931 he earned a master of
