istered for the examination. The
University bases its estimate on
that total.
No arrangements have been
completed as yet regarding hous

stressed the fact that they would
be "supervised more closely than
the regulars." Housing arrange

Roy Armstrong, director of ad

a setup where the age groups are
segregated.
Details of a welcoming cere
