Thorpe Asked To Appear At Rec Hall Jim Thorpe, recently voted the outstanding athlete of the past half-century, has been in vited to appear in Recreation Hall - at tonight's boxing meets. The Indian idol, whose feats are now legendary, was a football star at Carlisle Indian School under the famed "Pop" Warner, and was twice selected on Walter Camp's All-America team. Now retired, Thorpe is also an Olympic decathlon champion and a former , major league base ball player. He will speak at a banquet of the Young Men's Bible class of the Grace Luth eran Church at 6 o'clock tonight. James Coogan, assistant direc tor of public information at the College, said yesterday that Thorpe has been invited to Rec Hall after the church banquet, to •be introduced to the sports crowd if his plans permit. 'Vacation' Lull Absent in Town Perhaps it was because an un usual number of students may have had finals up to the last minute, or maybe the reason was (and this is more probable) that there was only one day between the end of the first semester and registration for the next. .At any rate, State College didn't die its customary p e r iodic death and assume the atmosphere *bf a ghost town between semesters. For those students who had previously spent "vacations" in the town during periods of acad emic inactivity, the bustling con dition came as a happy surprise. Whatever the reason, those who remained in town ; between semesters have something to tell their grandchildren. It might not happen again, Another 4500 Fill Out Forms Two-Day Registration Figures Total 9300; 1000 More To Go The wheels of the registration system clicked smoothly yesterday as 2212 students registered in the forenoon, and an estimated 2300-2400 in the afternoon. This brings total registration figures to about 9200-9300 for the two days of undergraduate registration with about 1000 graduates, special and unclassified students still to register. Ray V. Watkins, College scheduling officer, said that few late registrants are ex pected. A' $lO fee is assessed for late registration. This morning, off-campus de gree candidates and teachers who take from one to six 'credits are scheduled to register in the base ment of Willard Hall. They will pre-register in the same manner as regular students and then the final phase registration. Employees, special, graduate, and unclassified students will register Monday and through out the week. These have not been permitted to pre-register or first-phase register in order to accommodate regular stu dents in class selection. Em ployees will fill out employee form cards in the Willard Hall basement scheduling office. Proof that the system of di viding students alphabetically into 15-minute sections is work ing well is that in the first three half days 2315, 2320, and 2212 students were registered. An other proof was the absence of long lines. Middies Given Cruise Plans Lt. Colonel Foley, USMC, ex ecutive officer of the Department of Naval Science at the College, has announced tentative plans for summer training and cruises affecting over one hundred Penn State midshipmen. , Senior and sophomore regular midshipmen will spend six weeks on the Pacific Ocean.

Second , semester enrollment usually represents a decrease of 600 students from • first semester because of mid-semester gradua tion, financial "difficulties,health, and dropouts due to academic re quirements or through faculty action. If a student has flunked half of his courses and has not yet received official notice that he has been dropped from the Col lege it is because of a slow down in the notifying machin ery. Last semester—as of Oct. 8- 10,928 students were registered for classes. This semester the number of full-time students is expected to reach the 9,500 mark, with part-time students boost ing the figure to 10,200 taking courses during the Spring sem ester.

These deserving students were culled from numerous ap plicants, the decision to award the scholarships being based not only on academic prowess. but also need, and in some few cases, on activities as well. The Lion honors this student group, one which has demon strated such a thirst for know ledge that monetary and other handicaps are but a spur to their efforts. For these people. Penn State isn't a country club. It IS an institution of higher learning.
