PAGE SIX Freshman Men To Reappear On Campus if Dorms Are Ready A freshman class composed of both men and women will appear on campus next fall for the first time since 1945, if the present dor mitories now under construction are completed before the fall semester. "Tentative plans have been made to bring between 1000 and 1600 freshman men and 250 freshman women to the- campus next fall, if the new dormitories crystallize by that time,” said Adrian O. Morse at a meeting of the American As sociation of University Professors at the College last night. How ever, he did not state whether freshmen or upperclassmen would live in the new dorms. Mr. Morse also pointed out that there will be between 1000 and 1000 freshman men at the centers. This will make a total freshman class of 3400, including 550 fresh man women who will attend the centers College Opinions Differ “There are two schools of thought at the College about bringing a freshman class to the campus," said Mr. Morse. “One school of thought is that the Col lege enrollment cannot be enlarg ed without cheapening the quality and quantity of instruction. The other school of thought is that the freshman class should be brought to the College and thus gain the advantage of four years of schooling at one college.” The latter school thinks that the College' should build more build ings and get qualified instructors to handle an increasing enroll ment. The present policy, which is only temporary, is a, compro mise between the two. It was also pointed out that of' every 100 freshmen who eqroll at the College centers, approximate ly 50 drop out of College. Of the 50 who remain, 24 come to the campus and 26 go to other col leges. Dr. Clarence R. Carpenter, pro fessor of psychology at the Col lege, served as moderator on the panel. Other members of the panel include Mr. Morse, J. Orvis Kel ler, assistant to the president in charge of Extension: and William H. Powers, director of arts and science Extension.
