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.
Accompanists are Anne Hopper,
Sylvia Killman, Margaret Reeves,
Joanne Loper, Helen Hudson, Mil
lard Kinney and Lois Beamguard.
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.
Johnson to Seminar
Elgeon Johnson, graduate assist
ant in physics, will speak on “Ul
trasonics in Liquid Helium” at the
physics seminar at 4 p.m. today at
