Shopping Days 'tit Christmas VOL. 59 Only Enro Rush B It appears that he predict ed big rush for en •ollment at the University has begun, and much sooner than -xpected. The Long Rang Planning Committee after extensive studies said enroll lent would reach 25,000 on cam us by 1971 with the big push bqtween 1965 and 1970. But figures this year indicate at least an early upswing in appli cations. Already there are 4600 appli cants for admission to next fall's freshman class. At the same time last year, there were 3600 appli cants. That's a 27.8 per cent in crease. Noting that a sharp rise last year produced a record 11,858 freshman applications, Presi dent Eric A. Walker voiced dis tress because "the University is not now in position to admit more freshmen than were ad mitted fo the current class." Of these applicants, only 4365 could be admitted because of lack of housing and other facilities. Viewing the present upsurge of applicants, Walker said that again next fall, the University will have to turn away hundreds, per haps thousands, of the state's qualified high school graduates. The University is engaged in its long range construction plan which will double the number of buildings on campus in an effort to absorb the increased enroll ments. The long range planning calls for about 35,000 University stu dents by 1371 including the centers. But this may be a con servative figure. The University now enrolls 13.5 per cent of the state's 117,000 col lege students. Admissions officials warn that by 1971 there may be anywhere from 177,000 to 300,000 state students. "If the 177,000 projection should prove too conservative," Walker said, "the state University as well as the private institutions will find themselves totally unpre pared to take care of the qualified Pennsylvanians who will want a college education."

These topics and legislative proposals touching on them will be laid before the new Congress in Eisenhower's State of the _Union message next month.

Sixteen men have served as co-captains for the Blue and White, but since 1956 the post of leadership has been given to only one individual. "It's the greatest honor ever bestowed upon me." the soft spoken Botula said to his team mates when told of his selec tion. "I just hope I can success• fully follow the epitome of a great captain, Steve Garban. I still can't believe it." Coach Rip Engle said he was happy over the choice of Botula. "It was a real fine selection," En gle said. "He's well-qualified and Pat Boiula . . . new grid captain I'm sure he'll be a fine leader If he hadn't been hurt for five games, he would have been one of the greatest fullbacks in the country this year."

Pliable plastics and un derground waves which bring about earthquakes are examples of this. When an iron bar is hit on the end, these stress waves can be heard, Davids added. Specialists in the various fields of stress wave propagation will come from England, Germany, Sweden, France, Israel, Russia, India and Japan. Each country will send one or two representa tives except France and Germany which are combining to send one. There will be 12 or more rep resentatives from the United States.

Collegian's "Player of the Year" award is the climax to a succes sion of ten "Player of the Week" awards, one of which was won by Garban for his play against Army. Garban will receive a 14-inch trophy donated by Levine Bros. Men Shop of State College. Commenting on his selection as "Most Valuable Player" by his teammates Garban said: "This has been the climax of the greatest four years of my life. I know many times I hope to re live all those moments again. "Football has done so much more for me than I have done for it." Although not having a vote in either award, Lion coach Rip En gle was full of praise for his star center and captain: "Steve is a real fine boy and he's one of the most sincere I know. He's done a tremendous job for us as captain." vallrr%l Correction Raymond H.
