Barely ahead of last Spring quar

Griffin announced that a total of
A JAW m A m
naa enrolled lor tne spring
term up to closing time of the tally
line yesterday afternoon. Thetotal
for the corresponding day of last year
was 3,437.
Closely watched by administrative
officials as the omnipotent factor in
the future life of the University, the
tabulations will be completed today
as spring quarter registration closes
at 1 o'clock.
50 More Expected
Griffin estimated that about 50
more students would register this
morning leaving the total for the
quarter under the final 3,593 enroll
ment of last spring.
Student and University leaders, an
ticipating a heavy drop in the num
ber of students returning for the
spring quarter due to the draft, de
fense jobs and other wartime neces
sities, expressed surprise that the en
rollment had suffered no sharp de
creases. The temporary lead of yes
terday's registration total over the
corresponding tabulation for last
spring was indicated to be insignifi
cant and attributed to irregularity of
students appearing for registration.

quirement, it was decided yesterday
in a three way conference of officials

we are unable to secure Johnnie Long
for the set as had been originally sche
duled, and another has not as yet been
' selected." Palmer stated vesterdav.
