Gypsy Day Committees Appointed
Northern Receives
Increase Of 100
By Jane Watson
Present enrollment figures show
that 1352 students have enrolled for
the fall quarter. This indicates an
increase of more than 100 over last
years" figures. At the start of the
quarter, there are 1330 undergradu-ates
and 22 graduates of last year.
This compares with 1218 under
grads and 28 graduates of last year.
The comparison of figures is 1352
to 1246 last year.
There are approximately 517 Fresh-men,
one-third of the total enroll-ment.
Therefore, when the last of
the freshmen registered Friday aft-ernoon,
most of the required courses
for freshmen were closed, much to
the despair of both students and
teachers. Since there are more stu-dents
than in other years, many of
the classrooms are full to over-flow-ing,
creating headaches for all con-cerned.
Enrollment for the green and
white clad began at 8:00 Friday
morning and continued until nearly
5:00. At 3:30 that afternoon, the
line from the business office extend-ed
to the entrance of the gym. Since
most were tired from standing the
better part of the day, they trudged
home and returned the next morn-ing
to pay their fees. With a few of
the upperclassmen standing and sit-ting
in the main hall, registering for
their classes, the hall from one end
to the other was nothing but a mass
of fuss, confusion, and complete be-wilderment.
The line of upperclassmen waiting
to register was avoided by spring
quarter pre-registration. However,
some new and transferred students
were among those to wait in line
extending from the business office.
Off-Campus Meet
Set For This Evening
In accordance with the new Stu-dent
Association Constitution adopted
at the spring election, the off-cam-pus
students will organize tonight at
7:30 in the Administration Auditori-um.
According to the governing docu-ment
a nominating committee is to
select candidates for the various
offices, including five representatives
to the student council. Then, in turn,
the entire group assembled will se-lect
the members of their organization
they want to represent them on the
school's governing body.
A large crowd is needed and ex-pected
at the meeting according to
Verle Rogers, President of the Stu-dent
Body. Rogers stated that inter-est
in things of this nature is waning
on the campus, but everyone wants
and demands good student govern-ment.
The best way to get it is to
take part.
