By HAROLD D. HOLDER
Registrar James Clarke
stated that his department
was in no position Monday to
give a definite registration
number for the spring semes¬
ter.
The number as always will
fall below the final total of the
fall semester which leaped over
the 2,000 mark for the second
year, he said.
The regular registration took
three fall days and will offici¬
ally end tomorrow. This will be
the last regular semester that
will use the registration booklet,
for the newly purchased IBM
machine will eleminate the
booklet
' The machine will cut the
work down for the student and
will ease the headaches in the
Registrar’s office. Special cards
will be used, and the equipment
will be installed in the summer.
Mr. Clarke called special at¬
tention to the new cut system
that becomqf a reality this sem¬
ester. There has been some con¬
fusion about the way the sys¬
tem works, he said.
The number of cuts is three
times the rtumber of times the
class meets a week, and there
will be no excused absences. All
absences will be included in the
limit per course.
Two new courses were begun
in the science departments with
one In biology and in pharmacy.
There were no new additions to
the facnlty.

APO members assisted with the
activities of the Freshman Re¬
treat, with registration and help¬
ing new students to feel at home
in the midst of all the confusion.
One of the service fraternity’s
projects for the entire campus is
the new picnic area, consisting of
a rock barbecue pit and two
cement tables with benches. This
area, open to all students all year,
is located approximately 75 yards
to the east and across the street
from the Women's Residence Hall.
Individuals ^and organizations
are invited to use the area. Reser¬
vations should be made in ad¬
vance through the Student Affairs
Office.
Setting up speaker’s platforms,
public address systems, and per¬
forming many little noticeable yet
vital tasks, are included in the
services of APO members.
They receive nothing for their
work except thanks and the satis¬
faction that comes from being of
service.
Pledge leader Reed Polk invites
all the former scouts.on campus to
join our service fraternity.
