College enrollment figures keep
spiralling every year, and it looks
like Mars Hill will not be an ex
ception this fall.
The registrar’s office reports
that applications for admission
for the 1965-66 session are pour
ing in. Already there is a waiting
list for room assignments in the
New Exhibition
Hung In Gallery
The second half of a series of
contemporary Japanese prints
went on display in the gallery of
the Fine Arts Building this week.
The exhibit, sponsored by the
Piedmont University Center, will
remain up through this month, ac
cording to Joe Robertson, head of
the art department.
Two other exhibitions are
scheduled during the remainder of
the term, he said. One will in
clude the works of senior art stu
dents Doug Conrad, Mary Lou
Newman and Allen Langley. The
other is a history of medicine in
paintings, sponsored by the Parke-
Davis Pharmaceutical Co. and
the Piedmont University Center.
women’s dormitories. There is,
however, still some space avail
able for men in the dormitories
and in cottages and homes within
the community.
No attempt has been made to
compile statistics on enrollment
while the applications are still
coming in, but the registrar’s of
fice indicates no appreciable in
crease in total enrollment is an
ticipated. This is because there
are no more dormitory rooms
than were available (and filled)
last fall. The only way total en
rollment can Increase significant
ly is in the number of commuting
students.
An increase in the size of the
senior class next year is probable.
This year’s juniors total 276 as
compared to the 216 seniors. The
other two classes include 470
freshmen and 352 sophomores.
Decreases are likely in these two
groups due to dropouts and trans
fers.
The 1965-66 edition of the col
lege catalog, compiled by the
registrar’s office and edited by
Prof. John McLeod, should come
from the press in late April.
Rising seniors Andy Good and
Chris Pappas won elections this
week to the two highest student
offices on campus for the 1965-66
school year, BSU president and
student body president.
Pappas defeated rising junior
Dave Clapp 620 to 379 in campus

that night in Moore Auditorium

open to all interested students and
faculty members.
Dr. Browning will be Mars
