At This Time Enrollment Up Five Per Cent Enrollment at the University took a five per cent jump over last year at this time Tuesday as 133 roistered during the day, bringing the total for fall term to 12,5(14. And projected enrollment for fall term of this year is 12,976, five per cent higher than last year. I,ast year’s enrollment at the same time was 11,972. So far, 347 students had registered late this year, as of 5 p.m. Tuesday. I,ast year, during late registration, 875 students went through after the close of regular enrollment. According to figures obtained from the University Business Office, 13.581 registration packets were issued at the beginning of this term. That means that there are still 1,017 students who have packets and haven't completed registration or paid their fees. Applying the five per cent increase to the number of late regis trants last year, the total would come to 13,482. University President Arthur S. Flemming has been confident that enrollment would reach the projected figure and possibly iiit the 13,000 mark. Meanwhile, at Oregon State University, it appeared that registra tion was running behind the projected enrollment. Exact figures were not available, but the current figure is around 12,350, accord ing to the Daily Barometer.

Admission will be $1.50. Architecture at Tougaloo Gets Enthusiastic Reviews Editor’)* Note: What should the plan of a campus be? That question has been debated here and on many other campuses. Tougaloo College in Mississippi has tried a different type of campus plan. By CLINTON BOURDON Brown Dally Iff raid PROVIDENCE, R.I. (CPS) — Under such “pop” titles as “Ma triculation Matrix” and “How to (.row a College,” the current is sues of two major architectural magazines, Progressive Architec ture and Architectural Forum, featured enthusiastic reviews of the new proposed master plan for Tougaloo College. The design, prepared by Gun nar Birkerts & Associates of Bir mingham, Michigan, under a grant from the Cummins Foundation of Columbus, Indiana, received wide publicity for incorporating some of the more revolutionary concepts current in both architec ture and urban design. The plan, designed to be com pleted in stages, will transform Tougaloo’s rolling 500-acre cam pus, now dotted with plain box like brick buildings, into a single inter- connected structure con taining all the facilities of the college. At ground level are driveways, parking areas, and delivery ac cess. Over this, rising on piles sunk through the unstable clay of the hilly site, is the central “matrix” of the college: lecture halls, seminar rooms, offices, lab oratories, and administrative of fices. This structure, from one to three stories high, depending on space needs and topography, is designed for “maximum flexibility and original planning as well as for future alterations and addi tions.” This planned fluidity of interior space is belied by the external clarity and rigidity of the "matrix” elements.

ATTEND OUR FREE DEMONSTRATIONS At the CENTRAL LANE YMCA MIRROR ROOM 2055 Patterson Wed. Oct. 5 — 8 p.m. Thurs. Oct. 6 — 8 p.m. You will learn how you can triple your reading rate, improve comprehension, and attain greater recall. GUARANTEE We guarantee to increase the reading efficiency of each student by AT LEAST THREE TIMES with equal or better comprehension. We will refund the entire tuition of any student who does not triple ilia reading efficiency as measured by the beginning and subsequent tests, or the student may retake the course free of charge. A refund is conditional upon the student attending all classes or having made up missed sessions with the teacher. The student must also have practiced the required number of hours, following the assignments as outlined by the teacher. The average student may expect a five-time increase in reading speed, and an improvement in comprehension and recall. Any student who must withdraw from the course for any reason may re-enter any subsequent courses at any future time, at no additional cost. CERTIFIED PRIVATE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL. DEPT. OF ED. STATE OF ORE. Dynamics M £Jg» Wood Reading rooftops of the matrix provides access to the third level of dor mitories: long linear two-story bands crossing the academic level at right angles and extending out over the slopes on massive pil lars. The dorms are planned in linear series of independent “houses” of 50 students with a resident counselor. Though all of these elements are organized on a rectangular grid, the most creative aspect of the design is that it actually func tions as a radial system. Each of the linear elements, isolated in the landscape at one end, leads directly into the core of the cam pus. Law For Laymen Lecture Presented A two-part lecture, “Introduc tion to the Law and Our Judicial System,” is offered from 7:30 to 0:30 p.m. this evening, in room 3, Fenton Hall. Part I of the lecture is en titled, “Law—What is it?” and will be delivered by Orlando J. Hollis, Dean of the School of Law at the University. Part II, given by Roland K. Rodman, Circuit Court Judge, concerns “Our Courts and the Judicial System.” The lecture is part of the 1966 series of ten lectures on “Law for Laymen,” sponsored by the Lane County Bar Association. The purpose of the series is to ac quaint laymen with the problems of personal and public legal rights and responsibilities, and with procedures whereby such rights and responsibilities are exercised. Here the overlapping systems of academic and residential struc tures create a framework for the central plaza that contains the few entirely separate units on the campus: the library, gym, theater, and the only freestanding, sculp ! tural building, the chapel. As an introduction to the whole complex, two widespread arms of dormitory structure create a vast funnel-shaped space leading to the heart of the plaza. Exchange students, returning to Northern universities after a semester at Tougaloo, have re marked on the air of informality and flexibility of its students and faculty concerning the attitudes in and the location of classes. Birkert’s plan attempts to real ize this atmosphere by mixing academic and activity space with housing. In the architect’s words, he set out to “(1) build a total aca demic community . . . which does not reach back stylistically into tradition and nostalgia: and (2) to create a 24-hour philosophical and physical environment where living, learning, and socializing are merged and where maximum exchange is encouraged between students, faculty and community.” Not only does this type of planned college create such a comprehensive educational en vironment, it also promotes the kind of close social contacts and overlapping uses of land char acteristics of urban life. This is no accident, for it is hoped that the very “urbanity” of the place will help students from the still predominantly rural South to adjust to a contemporary and totally urban culture.
