PRICE FIVE CENTS
All undergraduate students and.
all graduate students taking un
dergraduate courses ar e asked to
register for the 1047 Fall semester
starting tomorrow, it was an
nounced by College officials to
day.
Continuing until next Tuesday,
registration will include onLy the
filling out of schedule cards. Stu
dents are instructed to report to
their department heads for de
tails of the plan. No payment of
fees will be required at this time,
said Registrar William S. Hoff
man.
“In the past,” explained Regis
trar Hoffman, “two weeks and
more have been lost adjusting
sections at the beginning of each
semester. Next year there is rea
son to believe that the situation
will be even worse unless we take
measures now to reduce confusion
to a minimum.”
Because of an expected 8000
students on campus next Fall, Mr.
Hoffman pointed' out, it will be
necessary to utilize every available
classroom and laboratory, and
that the use of such facilities
necessarily requires planning be
fore the-beginning of the semester.
It is the hope of College officials
to adjust overcrowded sections
and. to iron out other problems
during the summer months so as
to be able to furnish each student
with “an assured schedule” at the
opening of the new term.
