which have occurred here in the past
two years.
Houses which were robbed yester
day were Delta Chi, Delta Upsilon,
.Tau Kappa Epsilon, and Theta Nu

ALUMNI PLANS COMPLETED
Plans for the Alumni Homecoming,
which will be held October 21, 22, 23,
were formulated at a meeting of the
eNecutive board of the College Alumni
association in Old , Main, Saturday
morning.
!knowledge possible at 'the cheapest
rate," "low cost as compared with oth
or colleges," and "special advantages
offered to residents of Pennsylvania,"
were particularly numerous.
The influence of alunini, undergrad
uates and professional men acquaint
ed with the College was another
strong factor in the choice of the first
year men:, "Influenced by a friend
who is Ring to Penn State," "because
of the attitude of its alumni toward
it," and "the advice of a well-known
architect," were characteristic replies
to tho query.
"I heard more good things about it
than about any other schOol," "its
spirit,, tradition, and standards," t 'the
chance of improving my health and
building up my body," and "the spirit
was what I liked," were other reas
ons giVen by , the first year nien.

OFFICIALS EXPECT FULL
QUOTA OF FRESHMEN
Upperclassmen Not Divided Into
Initial Groups—Graduate
Attendance Normal
With the first day •of upperclass
registration over, Recreation Hall will
reopen its doors at 8:30 o'clock this
morning to admit members of the
three upper classes, graduate, trans
fer, and special students, and lute
freshman matriculants. A. grand
total of 1777 students had completed
their registration at noon yesterday.
The Hall will 'be open until noon,
' and from 1:30 until 5 o'clock today.
Students who fail to complete their
registration before 10 o'clock tomor
row morning will be charged a,fee of
five dollars. First semester registra
tion is not divided into periods accord
ing to initial letters of names, so stu
dents may register any time today.
, 1103 Freshmen Registered
With, 1103 Freshmen registered at
the end of the regular period Friday
afternoOn and numerous late regis
trants, as yet not tabulated, swelling
the total, Registrar William S. Hoff
man predicted that the full quota
would be enrolled for this semester.
"Students registering. on paturday
I ,io--WithiroTive: Or
six of the number niatriculatin-Cdur
ing the regular freshman registration
period last, year," Mr. Hoffman said.
"In all probability we will have our t
full freshman enrollment when those'
admitted late have registered."
' An additional fifty-eight first-year
men were scheduled to register yes
terday at the forestry school at Mont
Alto. This number is eight more than
the' forestry class matriculated last
year. yd
Faculty Members Assist
Mr. Hoffman declined to forecast
the total registration of the College
for this semester, stating that he
could not predict whether business
conditions would have a tendency to
swell or diminish the number this
year. Last year the Registrar's esti
mate was within a few of the final
grand total.
Employment of 'faculty members
instead of students to assist in regis
tration is one of the changes in the
system this fall. It has greatly fad-
Mated the process, according to the
Registrar.
