Registration Held Up By Recommendations Of Liberal Arts Heads A recommendation from the heads of departments of the college of liberal arts to hold off adviser counseling and ap proval of class cards until the first week of March is respon sible for the slow-down of pre-registration, an investigation made yesterday revealed. Only 77 students of more than 3,000 securing enrollment material had completed registration by yesterday afternoon, the third day of pre-registration. Dr. D. E. Clark, head of the history department and chair man of the committee, said that the recommendation was made because the department heads believed a two-week period for pre-registering was not necessary. Avoiding 'Disruption' Tried According to Dr. Clark, the school is able to handle advising in three days and stamp cards in three days, making a longer period unnecessary. Two-week time limit would also result in too much disruption of office work in the school depart ments, he said. Students in the liberal arts college must wait until March 4, 5, and 6 to secure liberal arts departmental approval of class cards. It was pointed out that with a majority of the student, body taking at least one liberal arts course, most students can not complete their registration this week. Extra Workers Dismissed The Co-op reported that very few students, mostly non veterans, had picked up books. This was attributed to the fact that class cards must be signed before veteran students can pick up their books. Non-vet students usually do not purchase books until they have completed the entire registration process and paid their fees. Extra workers hired by the Co-op to handle the expected rush for supplies were reported to have been temporarily dis missed. Pre-registration will continue through March 6. Students may pick up material in Emerald hall through Saturday noon. New students and those who do not finish registration by March will register March 29. Spring term classes will begin March 30. Ingram Scheduled For Friday Dance Joe Ingram and his band will play Friday night in Gerlinger annex at the campus-clothes dance sponsored by the educa tional activities board. The af fair is free to students. Two previous dances have been held in the annex this term. The first with music by Johnny Lusk, and last week’s music by the Herb Widmer combo. Both dances were successful, according to Dick Williams, edu cational activities manager, and justify the continuing of the practice. Student Recital Slated Sunday Ten voice students will sing in a student recital Sunday at 4 p. m. in the music school auditorium. Operatic arias, German Lieder and modern songs in English will be featured. The vocalists, students of Denton D. Rossell of the school of music, are Jean Lichty, Mari lyn Griffith, Janet Nielsen, Bar bara Detrick, Barbara Heartfield and Mary Hawkins, sopranos; and James Kays, Eldcn Penttila, Den ny Marvin and Millard McClung, tenors.

Mortar Board Sets Discussion Pursuing their 1947-48 project, members of Mortar Board thin week are visiting campus living or ganizations to discuss the honor system with students, Helen Hicks, president of the senior women’s) service group, has announced. Members are going to the wom en’s living organizations, and hold ing informal educational discus sions after the meal. The member;) next week will go to the men's liv ing groups, and follow the same procedure, Miss Hicks said. Spring Effort Due Those organizations who will not have a representative this term will be visited next term, Miss Hicks commented. “We wanted to lead off before winter term finals,” she added, "but we find we won’t be able to get to each group before final week. How ever, we will make a concentrated effort spring term to contact as many students as possible.” The ’47-’48 project is an educa tional program with the idea of in stituting an honor system on this campus, patterned after working systems in other state schools and universities.
