HARD TIMES YET TO COME
As Many Come From Western Part of
8tate as Usual Large Number in
New Schools.
The second day of registration
showed a decided increaBe In the num
ber of students over the first day, and
indicates that the entrance ot the cur
rent year will be larger than at any
time before. The line of students wait
ing entrance to the assignment com
mittee stretched acrosB the Armory on
to the hall steps and constant fresh
recruits kept t he line from diminish
ing. The Registrar's office and Treas
urer's ofilce were similarly crowded.
Remarks were frequent about the
campus, however, to the effect that
the dash and enthusiasm that usually
characterise the first days of school
are not to be seen this year. The
drouth of the summer and the result
ing scarcity of money and of enllvlng
spirit seem to have had their effect
upon the atmosphere that prevails
The usual ranks seem to have been
materially diminished by the scores ol
former and prospects students who
found It possible and advisable to go
to eastern schools, an extraordinarily
large quota having taken the latter
course.
Girls Interested In earning
room and board by doing some
housework should see Miss Gra
ham, advisor to women, at once.
There are a number of such po
sitions open.

Big Feed.
About 125 men, mostly first-year
students, crowded Into the Y. M. C. A.
room at the Templo last night for the
second big "open house" of the year.
Stunts and practical Jokes filled up
the first hour, admirably succeeding
in breaking tho Ico between the new
students, besides furnishing a contin
ual source of amusement at the ex
pense of the other fellow. When this
means of entertainment had been ex
hausted, a series of short talks were
given In turn by Raymond Smith, R. L.

Mrs. Raymond Promises
Treat for Music Lovers
In order to mako the work of tho
University Orchestra more educational
for the members who compose it, and
more Important for the public In gen
eral, Mrs. Raymond has engaged tho
services of tho Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra for a musical festival to be
given at the University In May. Tho
significance of tho engagement of such
a musical aggregation can scarcely bo
overestimated. Tho orchestra Is one
of the best in the country, there being
not more than two such talontod onos
in tho West, and tho opportunity to
hoar such efforts as they render is a
groat scarcity. It 1b composed of Borne
seventy-five musicians, many of whom
are able soloists from tho eastern
states.
Work on tho University chorus will
exempt tho memborB of the throo up
per claBsos from military drill for threo
hours a week. For freshmen who are
required to take, five hourB of drill, and
for those who desire to take the musi
cal work In addition to drill, Mrs. Ray
mond haB arranged for a special e
hear8al for men alone at 7 o'clock on
Monday evenings, the latter plan giv
ing one hour credit for drill and one
for chorus. Those who have already
arranged their schedules will be per
mitted to change them bo as to In
clude the chorus work. Mrs. Raymond
In her room In the Temple Music Hall
will be glad to give Information and
receive applications for tho drill
chorus.
