expects total

Class of '43 numbers
220 men, 1 40 women;
several courses are full
Ag college's enrollment is larg
er this year, and there are more
freshmen men than women regis
tering, unofficial estimates showed
yesterday.
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. He pointed out that the total
Ag enrollment will probably be
about 1,000, 100 higher than last
year's 900 regular students, at
least, although no definite check
can be made until entrance of
upperclassmen has been finished.
"There are 220 students regis
tered for the freshman science
course, Botany 5," he pointed out,
with lecture rooms in most of the
beginning courses crowded to ca
pacity. New sections had to be
added in animal husbandry 1,
agronomy, and dairy husbandry 1
to accommodate the increased
number of freshmen boys. In the
home economics classes no new
sections were added since there
wasn't any large freshman In
crease, but all sections are full,
as they have been for several
years, said Dr. Wiggans.
The registration committee head
said that five sections of English
1, all crowded to capacity, had to
be assigned this year, with two
sections of English 3 being taught
to take care of the increase.

Snooping reporter finds
farm society in confusion
Ag campus looking like a fresh
man playground these days, with
375 of the uninitiated exploring
classrooms and meeting up with
professorial wit for the first time.
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.
Seems that Ardith Hackman and
Dale Weibel are each spending
good dollars to get new identifica
tion pictures this year. Tale is that
Ardith cut down both their last
year's pictures to fit into a locket.
Must have been better than most
of these registration shots.

The manual, begun in 1935, was
published first in 1936 as a
mimeographed preliminary hand
book, later, in 1938, it appeared in
its first edition for college use.
Presenting a series of basic ex
ercises designed to provide an in
troduction into the course, the
manual is so arranged that the ex
ercises follow a logical sequence
and proper references for each
problem are indicated. Its chief
claim for utility is its flexibility
and adaptability to varying condi
tions of laboratory instruction.
