New Mark Set;
5682 Enrolled
For Fall Term
3137 Veterans End
Manpower Shortage
By BILL, YATES
The University’s enroTTment has
soared to an all-time high, as final
figures released Tuesday by C. E.
Avery, registrar, show a total reg
istration of 5682 students for this
term—a 104 per cent increase over
fall term last year.
Three thousand one hundred thir
ty-seven male veterans have com
pletely changed the man-shortage
aspects found on the campus a year
ago. Although 7 per cent more wo
men are registered this year, in
cluding 124 veterans, the big in
crease is in the figures for male stu
dents.
Males
A total of 3689 men now en
rolled here gives registration an
increase of 302 per cent over last
fall in this department. If one
night all women students were to
each date a malei student, 1696
men would find themselves with
out feminine companionship.
Proof that marriage is no hin
drance in the quest for an education
is to be found in the following fig
ures: 862 men and 162 women at
tending the University are mar
ried.
Major Breakdown
Liberal arts students head the
list in the breakdown by majors.
Next to these, of which there are
2094, are 1391 students in business
administration. This is the largest
University school and figures for it
show a 223 per cent increase over
those of last year.
The number in the law school
jumped from only 24 in 1945 to 150
this year—an increase of over 600
per cent. Three hundred two more
aspirants are listed as pre-law stu
dents.
Other Schools
Enrollment figures for other Uni
versity schools, are: architecture
and allied arts, 704; journalism,
417; physical education, 224; music
219; and education, 161.
With a total of 2126 men and wo
men, the freshmen lead as the larg
est class in the University, but the
largest increase over last year’s
fall term was shown by the seniors.
Many returning pre-war students
have undoubtedly helped to bring
about the large senior class, which
registered 6J>7 students.
Sophomore students total 2059,
while the smallest of the four is
the junior class, which has only 363
registered. Three hundred twenty
one graduate students and 156 spe
cial students were listed in the fig
ures released by the registrar.
Two thousand two hundred sixty
one of the men and women at the
University this fall are here for the
first time, and 3421 have been here
before and are coming back for
more.
Rush Lists Requested
Fall term fraternity rushing can
not be re-opened until all fraternity
presidents have submitted house
lists to his offices, it was announced
Tuesday by. Virgil D. Earl, dean of
men. All those who have not yet
sent in these lists should do so as
soon as possible.
Remedy Proposed
For UO Traffic Jam
By LARRY LAU
Deane Seeger, Eugene city manager, stated Monday evening
that the city streets committee lias conferred at length with Dr.
Harry K. Newburn, University president, and that a special,
three-step plan to alleviate the Webfoot traffic problem will be
recommended to the city council in their forthcoming meeting
next Monday night.
It will be requested that permission be given the University
to block Thirteenth by means of either lights or barricade, on the
east side of its intersection with Kincaid Street, and on the west
side of its intersection with University Street. The streets are to
be blocked off for ten minute periods each hour, according to the
plan, beginning at 7:50 a.m., and ending at 5 p.m. on all school
days. It was pointed out that there was little necessity of block
ing the streets all day because the majority of students are either
in class or off campus except for the periods when classes change.
It will also be suggested to the city council that suitable signs
be erected on Thirteenth to warn motorists of the ten minute
closed periods, and that through trucks be prohibited from using
■Thirteenth. It Avas on this score that Seeger felt there would come
the strongest protest.
Representatives of logging interests in the community have
been complaining of the existing restrictions. What attitude they,
will take towards further restrictions is problematical, he felt.
