Eager Coed Seeks
Enrollment for 7952
At least one prospective coed is
not going to be caught short in any
future landslide of registrations at
Oregon, at least not if her anxious
mother can help it. A letter re
ceived this week from California

of age, is only in the eighth grade,
several friends have stated recent

tion in desirable universities makes
it advisable to register her for ad
mission in the fall of —1952!”
