Record Enrollment Expected
As New Students Arrive
Enrollment figures for the fall semester are expected to rocket SO
over 10,000 students on campus, according to Royal M. Gerhardt, dean
of admissions. In addition, as in the three previous years, 3,000 under
graduate students will be assigned to the College's centers, the co
operating colleges and Mont Alto.
Theater Groups
Hold Auditions
The theater season at the Col
lege is getting off to a flying start
this fall with productions by
Theppians, Penn State Players,
and Center Stage going into im
mediate rehearsal.
The first' play at Center Stage
The Glass Menagerie by Tennes
see Williams is already cast and
opens HoMecoming weekend. It
will run Friday and Saturday
nights for six weeks.
Also scheduled for homecoming
weekend is the Thespian Home
coming Show Welcome Willie.
Try-outs will be held from '7:00
to 11:00 p. m. on Thursday, Fri
day, and Sunday, September 22,
23, and 25 in the Little Theater
(under west Old Main). Comedy
acts, singers, musicians, dancers,
piano players, actors, quartets,
crew people, and any persons
generally interested are urged to
try-out.
The Thespian Club is the old
est organization on the campus
dating back to 1898. It was
founded by Dr. Fred Lewis Pattee
who is known for having written
the Penn State Alma Mater. Each
year the Thespian Club, an all
male organization, and its coun
terpart the Masquerette Club, an
all girl club, jointly put on two
Musical comedies. •
With each snowfall, the College
Power Plant estimates that at
least 20 glass panels of street
lights located on campus, costing
about $5O to replace, 'are broken
by students throwing snowballs.
"Pour
I:=M1
Of the 10,000 students who will
enrbll within the next few days,
about 500 are freshman women;
3000 are sophomores, all coming
to the campus for the first time..
The sophomores are those who'
were farmed out to cooperating
colleges and the Penn State cen
ters last year.
While the veteran enrollment
has dropped with the incoming
class it is still higher than the
average for other colleges, and uni
versities in the nation. Over 50
per cent 'of the Summer sessions
enrollment was composed of vet
erans.
One hundred fifty women and
300 men were admitted as transfer
students coming from other col
leges with advanced standing. The
number of those admitted with ad
vanced standing must be limited,
as our first commitment must be
to our students at the centers and
co-operating colleges," Gerhardt
added.
Last year 2700 new students en
tered the College for the fall se
mester and the number living on
campus totaled about 9000. This
year's enrollment will bring a
marked increase in that number
and raise the total enrollment of
the College to well over 13,000.
