Offer r w ~: House Bog Down -- • (Continued from page one) for the first day in the future." A higher total enrollment than the predicted 11,500 can be ex pected if there are as few losses among men students as among new women students, he added. The registration system used by the College will accommodate ap proximately 500 students . an hour. About 600 students were admit ted to Recreation Hall an hour Wednesday, while only 400 en tered yesterday, Williams said. All students were allowed to enter Rec Hall during the 15 min ute interval after their designat ed time, Williams said. Part of the trouble resulted from large groups of students that were ad mitted at certain intervals, he said. Number of Checkers Doubled Williams said some delay was due to "confusion rather than failure" of the registration sys tem. He said he had planned on a better checking system than con ditons were able to permit. Although some students waited as long as two hours to be proc essed Wednesday, students regis tered in approximately 20 to 27 minutes yesterday.. • _ Students went through check points at about an equal rate all day Wednesday, Williams said. During the afternoon, the number of checkers at several stations was doubled, he said. Students were praised by Wil liams for their cooperation with the entire registration process. He said the group detained Wednes day could have become much more discontented, than they did. • Only two "flagrant violations" of - registration procedures ha d been discovered, Williams said. One Change Made Williams also praised depart ments for "doing a better job of building their offerings." He said there was no abnormal depart ment jam-ups. He added some lines formed, especially in front of the English Composition de partment, but these were only at the beginning of each interval when new students were admit ted to Rec Hall. He said most students were try ing to register first in those courses in. which they considered they would have the most diffi culty scheduling, and this proced ure was aiding registration. Only one change was made in yesterday's s registration proced ure from Wednesday, Sperber re ported. This was collecting large registration envelopes at the foot of the south balcony stairs before students reached final processing. This enabled students to handle registration forms easier while being processed, he said. The registration procedure was the same as that used last spring. Last fall, the first time the regis tration ,system was used, juniors and seniors were allotted one and a half days, but registration per sonnel "weren't busy enough," Williams said. 4‘.** SPECIAL i I DO CANAAJIM VAG-SIZE CIGARETTES in %eta% Humidor 4- - c 77 ONLY # 1 2 70e REGULAR PRICE $l.lO YOU SAVE Mttahahan ~. ~aw:.:M' ' tais;r~,`3x''~~i>ti s:J~ ."'c'k~ °: ~;3~!S~?W.. ~~Ew:?`:'~'i'. wa AFROTC Band Slates Tryouts Tonight Tryouts for the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps band will be held from 7:30 to 9 tonight in the Armory.
