A total of 9143 students completed registration by 5 p.m. yesterday at Recreation Hall
according to Dean of Admissions C. 0. Williams.
'About 1111 more students are registered than at this time last year, and an estimated
3500 more will enroll by 5 p.m. today, Williams said. A total of 13,143 students were en
rolled at the University last semester.
RegistratiOn opened Wednesday morning and will close with the registration of special
students and University employes
tomorrow. A total of 4530 stu
dents registered Wednesday and
4613 more enrolled yesterday. To
day's hours will be from 8 a.m.
to 11:15 and 1 p.m. to 4:15 p.m.
Tomorrow's registration will be
from 8 a.m. to noon.
• Early registration, primarily for
athletes and students working at
registration, was discontinued this
fall.
Policy Changed
The system of early registration
previously allowed these students'
to register Wednesday morning
before Rec Hall officially opens.
Every student now registers ac
cording,to the alphabetical sched
uling.
Williams said - that the policy
was changed last February be
cause "an increasing ,number of
student groups were asking for
the privilege." About 200 students
were registering early.,be said.
A total of 3348 freshmen have
been admitted to the University.
Of these, 1175 are coeds and 2173
are men_
Advanced Sludenis
Five hundred nine students will
be enrolled with advanced stand
ings and 524 more will transfer
from centers. Former students to
be readmitted total 175.
An estimated 650 students
moved through the lines every
hour with an average time of 30
minutes required to complete
registration, Williams said.
Williams repotted the "coopera
•tion of the students was very
good." He said "The - students
seem to have learned that the
present registration system offers
the .best rapidness."
Williams explained that early
registration was started at the re
quest of the Director of Atheltics
because athletes need practice
time and must avoid late after
noon classes.
"Too many groups thought they
deserved the same consideration,"
he continued , so this fall early
registration was stopped entirely.
Williams said there were - no
major delays and that" only mo
mentary tie-ups existed due main
ly to the slight confusion of some
freshmen.
Few senior 'students had diffi
culty in fitting in courses required
for graduation into their sched
ules. However, seniors with such
;problems should consult repre
sentatives of the dean's office of
their college, who are stationed
on the main floor. - -

Ike's Aides
For Faubus
NEWPORT, R. 1., Sept. 12 (iP) The White House an
nounced today President Dwight D. Eisenhower has called
two top aides here for his Saturday morning conference with
Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus on the Little Rock, Ark., school
integration crisis.
Presidential press secretary James C. Hagerty said Atty.
Gen. Brownell and chief White,
House assistant Sherman Adams
will fly here from Washington
connection with the Eisenhower-I
Faubus meeting, which could ef
fect the future of integration in
the South.
Hays to Go Along
Word came from Little Rock,
meanwhile. that Faubus will be
accompanied by Rep. Brooks Hays
(D-Ark), a personal friend of the
President.
Hays, who has been praised by
the President in the past, though
they are of opposing political
parties, represents the district
which includes Little Rock. It
was Hays who let the White House
know Faubus would come here
Saturday for the conference which
the Arkansas governor sought
with Eisenhower.
Indications were the President
would talk privately at first with
Faubus at their 9 a.m. meeting
Saturday. Then Brownell and the
others were expected to join in the
talk, which is aimed at ending the
federal-state deadlock over Fau
bus' use of troops to block school
integration.
Hagerty Blasts Report
White House press secretary
James C. Hagerty took sharp ex
ception to a broadcast report quot
ing White House aides as saying
Faubus had "thrown in th e
sponge" in the federal-state dead
lock by seeking the appointment
.with the President and saying he
would go as far as he could to
ward resolving the impasse.
"Completely untrue," Hagerty
said. - •
In Little Rock, Ark., a source
close to the governor said Faubus
is coming here "to confer, not
capitulate."

down on the number of people
handling books and makes it
easier for the student at a quick
glance to find the price rather
than a prolonged search. He said
a student can now check his
price range and then the book's
condition thus cutting down on
former, confusion.
