Early at Oregon State
Oregon State College, Corvallis,

a member of the freshman class
starting September 21 is Gene Fran
cis Empey of lone.
Indications are that the freshman
class will be as large as many boys
are planning to combine college work
with one of the various military en
listment opportunities offered, while
better employment conditions favor
the attendance of girls, who are less
self-supporting than men.
Early filing of applications and
early reservations of living quarters,
in the case of dormitories and co
operative houses especially, is rec
ommended by Mr. Lemon.
