He said that on August 23 only 1,88 students had been admitted .to the centers compared with 235 last year. $5,889,121 The reason he gave fol. , this de crease was that the financial need of students who enroll at the cen ters is greater than that . of fresh men on the campus.

Mr. Hoffman said that the class of 1945 is "unusually well pre pared." More than half of those Already admitted, .were in the upper fifth of their high school classes, 80 per cent were in the upper two fifths, and 90 per cent were in the upper three fifths.

At least that's what Peter Danos '43 believes. He was a freshman at Leeds University. The English don't have frater nities, according to Danos,—not in name, at least. Instead, he says, they have "halls of residence" in which the "spirit and organiza tion are the same as in-American universities. Here's what Danos has to tell about the "ragging" he went through: "For the first couple of days, we were left in peace. Then things started.

A few of the things the upperclassmen did were make us sing, run wheelbarrow races with out a whole lot of clothes on, and act as servants. They paddled us with wet towels, too. "The climax of the ragging •,vas the Treasure Hunt. Some of the things we had to get were theatre signs, church announcement signs, signatures from the university president's maids and from local business men, hair from the tail of a cow, 10-inch worms, long rusty nails, and a special 'treasure' which was left to the imagination of the student.. "We were given about 12 hours to find these things. Before the upperclassmen would accept them, we had to dress up as women, savage Indians, or hula dancers." N LUGGAGE AND PROBLEM - VED!
