Dr. C. C. Wiggans, head of the registration committee, said that about 220 freshmen men, 50 more than last year, had registered, but that only about 140 women, a very Blight increase over last fall's freshman registration, had en tered.

Most shocking experience in col lege yet, according to Freshman Marcella Raits, is getting up in time to go to 8 o'clocks. Champion go-getter is the fresh man (who must go unnamed for safety) who, after paying 50 good cents for a freshman cap, turned round and got his money back. He talked fast and long, and the two Innocents who took his cash in the first place, hard hearted tho they were, have, earned themselves a place in the frosh hall of fame. Shame, shame.
