UN Engineering
School Records
Most Increase
After the first three days of
registration university enrollment
this year showed an increase of
55 students over last year. There
are 2,205 civilian students en
rolled this year compared to 2,150
at the same time last year.
Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, registrar,
said that late registration pros
pects pointed to a further gain in
first semester enrollment over
that of last year. Registration in
the colleges of dentistry and med
icine, the graduate college and
the school of nursing will come
later.
Freshman registration in the
college of engineering is nearly
one-third greater than last year,
according to Dean O. J. Ferguson,'
head of the college. Upperclass
registration has dropped slightly,
but the ranks have been aug
mented by the return to school of
former members of the armed
forces.
There are still approximately
250 army engineering students,
fourteen of whom were initiated
into Chi Tau Sigma, honorary
scholastic fraternity for mechan
ical engineers, last week.
