First Day's
Registration
Doubles '44
Statistics on the first day's reg
istration reveal that last year's es
timate of a ten percent increase in
enrollment was much too con
servative when 1,061 students reg
istered on Monday, according to
Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, registrar.
Comparing the first day's fig
ures with those of the first day
of registration last year, Dr.
Rosenlof stated that only 495 stu
dents enrolled a year ago as com
pared with more than 1,000 at the
beginning of this year's three
day registration period.
Over 100 veterans registered
Monday, Dr. Rosenlof estimated,
and he voiced his expectation of

Beanies Attach
Freshman Stigma
To New Students
Look for the red and white
beanie with the number "49." It
spells freshman.
Red and white beanies with the
numerals "49" displayed promi
nently on the cap now identify
freshmen on the campus. As the
exhausted student staggers out
the exit door of the Coliseum
after standing in line after line,
he is greeted by the sight of this
beanie, a symbol of the fresh
man's traditional servitude. An
uppcrclassman holds a sticky
palm for the fifty cents, price of
the beanie, and the bewildered

Frosh Women
Meet Mentors
At Mass Mixer
All freshmen coeds will meet
their Big Sisters tomorrow eve
ning at the annual Coed Counselor
freshman party, to be held in the
Union ballroom from 7 to 9 p. m.
With informality as the key
note, coeds and Big Sisters will be
given an opportunity to become
acquainted with each other
through mixer games and group
singing. Skirts, sweaters and flats
are a "must"' for having fun, ac
cording to Suzanne Tope, presi
dent of Coed Counselors.
In addition to informal mixers,
(See FROSH, Pare 2.)
many more than that. Since not
all freshmen have registered, the
exact number is not available, but
the registrar anticipated more
than twice as many as last year.
A major problem of the univer
sity officials is housing facilities
for both men and women. To ac
commodate men students who
have not found living quarters,
Dr. T. J. Thompson, Dean of Stu
dent Affairs, in co-operation with
the athletic department, has ar
ranged for temporary beds to be
set up in the field house. The
field house has a number of
double bunks set up and they can
be obtained for 50c a night. This
arrangement will be maintained
until there is no further need for
it.
Because of the Increase In en
rollment, many coeds were not
able to live in dormitories or
houses on the campus. Accord
ing to Miss Elsie Tiper, assistant
dean of women, the great major
ity of women have now found
rooms and very few have had to
leave the university because
rooms were not available. Miss
Piper stated that there are enough
rooms for all coeds who have not
found a place to live. The Lin
coln Women's Chamber of Com
merce has aided the Dean of
Women's office in securing houses
with available room thru adver
tising and radio appeals. Such
houses are registered at the Dean
of Women's office in Ellen Smith
Hall."
Classes begin Thursday.
