President Hetzel Will Address College Convocation Tomorrow; Student Enrollment Nears47oo 1130 Freshmen Register During Regular Period ATTENDANCE INCREASE GREATEST IN HISTORY 50 Matriculate at Mont Alto; Graduate School Shows Slight Advance Resident students at the 'College will total 4,700 at the close of the regular registration in Recreation hall this afternoon, according to a forecast by Registrar William S Hoffman. This would be the largest number for any.semester up to the present Surpassing last year’s total by four, 1,130 first year students had regis tered up to 5 o’clock Friday, when the regular freshman registration ended. This number is exclusive of late registrants, who arc expected to bring the freshman aggregate to 1,- 250. Over fifty first year men were scheduled to matriculate at the Mont Alto forestry school yesterday. This number, which was expected to ex ceed last year’s by at least five, is included in the estimated 1,250 grand total. Changes Cause Tardiness Special and transfer students regis ter along with the three upper classes at regular registration, Mr. Hoffman stated. There is a smaller percent age of-this type of students here than in perhaps any other college in the state, he said. Omission of takmg the photographs of registrants, as in former first semester registrations, is the only difference in the routine of registra tion this year, Mr. Hoffman stated. Late registration by freshmen is explained on the basis of changes in curriculum and late acceptance by the College. As freshman schedules are made up by the College scheduling officer before the opening of Fresh man Week, a change in curriculum necessitates complete revision of the schedule. Graduate Students Increase “Business conditions at the present time arc favorable to large college enrollments,” Registrar Hoffman said m confirming a recent statement by him which appeared in a Philadelphia newspaper “When an unfavorable employment situation exists, persons turn to education This is shown by the fact that 2,200 applied, for ad mission to the Penn State freshman class this year, the highest number on record.” More students will enter the Grad uate School this year than in any previous registration, according to Dr. Carl E. Marquardt, College ex aminer Graduate students will reg ister in the office of the dean of the Graduate School rather than at the regular place of registration.
