They seemed to enjoy registration although they were in dead earnest: They asked intelligent questions, maintained order, and broke all reg istration tradition by not standing in line. - Everything happened. Dean R. B. House registered the first draftee, Frank M. Rogers, a dyed-in-the-wool South Carolinian who was there at, 7:15 in the morn ingbecause he believes that, "South Carolinians would rather fight than work." By mid-afternoon, the " registrars were still laughing over the unpre dictable things which manage to hap pen whenever a thousand students get together. The question asked most of ten was, "Where do I register?" The two words repeated most frequently dur ing the day by 40 different registrars were, "Name please?" " Observers can't believe what they saw early this morning when a blind boy registered. He said, "I'm blind, but if I'm called I'd like to get into the air corps." That spirit seemed typical of the general feeling of all the registrants. The Roosevelt Club . undaunted by j the speculation as to whether or not students favored what has been called, "Mr. Roosevelt's draft," was on hand to sign members. It reported that many draftees joined the club after registering. The Willkie supporters were not present en masse, but Will kie buttons could be seen. Turnip Salad and Royal Domestic James both registered and gained the distinction of having, the strangest names of all . the draftees.

She said, "Hello, Joe." He answered, "Hi ya, Betty." So, Betty. Coed and Joe College met for the first time and immediately, disregarding a would-be interviewer, began to discuss one another, likes, dislikes, dancing, music, sports, and the opposite sex. The two were selected by the Dur ham News Journal and the Durham News Messenger from more than 2,000 photographs taken on the. cam pus during the past two weeks. Prizes were awarded by the paper. Joe was the -more aggressive. "My real name is Jack Mime," he ven tured. "What's yours?"

The absence of the 69 students from the possible maximum was explained by the fact that many of those sub ject to the regulations returned to their homes for registration. Others have reserve commissions and were not subject to registration. Registrants from North Carolina, were by far in the majority with 592 registering. New York followed with 63. Students registered from every county in the state and from 35 states in the Unien. Forty per cent of the registrants were out-of-state stu dents, because the majority of those registered were members of the pro fessional schools or are taking gradu ate work, where out-of-state propor tions are higher. Draft authorities warned that all students who did not register yester day were subject to penalty, but that they should report to local registra tion officials in order to avoid further complications. No tally was made of conscientious objectors, but registrars recalled only a few who objected because of re ligious beliefs.
