Freshmen Lack
What Is This9

By Mary Aileen Cochran.
After trapping a pretty good
cross-section of freshman stu
dents, both men and women, with
and without fraternity affiliations,
your roving reporter reports that
these freshmen lack the tradition
al bewildered expression. Yes, they
know pretty well what they ex
pected and what they are finding
at the university.
Most significant and emphatic
of all the remarks was the gen
eral air of friendliness that reigns
on this campus. Nine of the ten
trapped say that so far the uni

Birth-rate Has
Little Effect
On Universities
WASHINGTON, D. C (ACP).
While elementary school enroll
ment figures are plunging far be
low those of a year ago, America's
colleges and high schools have not
yet felt the full effects of lowered
birth-rates during the depression
of the thirties, according to the
United States office of education.
Estimates indicate that college
enrollment this year will be 1.
450,000, a rise of 25.000. Some ed
ucators questioned the accuracy
of this early estimate, in view of
the drift of college-age men into
the armed services.
Those expecting an increase in
total college enrollment contend
that while Johnny may go to the
army or to work, "more men in
jobs means more money for
Mary's education."
The education office estimates
enrollment in elementary schools
has dropped to 20,707.000. a de
cline of 210,000 in a year. The es
timate for high school enrollment
is 7,334,000-up 100,000.

yond all fond expectations. The
tenth freshie just had different
smoke dreams, but hasn't been dis
appointed in the "real" thing.
Lee Farmer, Sigma Nu pledge,
who is as ambitious as a fresh
man should be, thinks that there
should be better friendships be
tween fraternities and sororities.
He also would like to see mora
activities for freshmen, and even
more opportunities for meeting
people. As a lighter side-line, Lee,
and a lot of others, wouldn't min i
seeing the Turnpike closer b
town.
Barbara True, Tri-Delt pledge:
"I wish the teachers were more
friendly, and I'd like to have closer
contact with them. It'd also be
better if so much weren't expected
from freshmen. After all it's a
big jump from high school."
Rex Davison, unaffiliated: "The
informal atmosphere I find here
and the ease of making friends U
what I especially like on this cam
pus. Can't say there are any
changes I'd want to see it's
swell!"
Estella Lennemann, Chi Omeg
pledge, says that it s much easier
to make friends here than she ever
expected. "I do think it would be
a good idea if all freshmen and
town girls were required to go t
study table in the sorority house."
Bud McQueen, Phi Delt pledge:
"Everyone is treated the same
here, and everyone seems anxious
to get acquainted."
Phyllis Holbrook, Towne club:
'That you can tell a freshman by
his books is certainly true here.
The work is plenty hard, and I've
seen very little sleep." However,
Phyllis also likes the democratic
spirit, and thinks the Howdy
badges are an excellent idea.
Harold Harpster, unaffiliated:
I "I only wish that there were avia
I tion classes available to freshmen.
I ROTC is swell."
Dorothy Turner, who plans t
pledge next semester, also stresses
the friendliness of everyone. She
does believe, however, that the old
houses on the campus ruin its
j beautiful effect.
Pat Hunting, member of the
! Towne club, also thinks the Howdy
; badges a fine idea. "I've found
: more here than I ever expected.
'And in spite of many opinions on
j the subject, there are as many
! chances for non-sorority as soro
i rity girls to meet people and make
I friends."
Harvard Offers

Unclean and unashamed. Mount

to the generous offer of Harvard
university students to share their
washing facilities.
Water shortag? in the South
Hadley area forced President Ros

girls to give up showers and tub
baths. Seizing the opportunity,
the editors of the Harvard Crim

the girls to share their bath fa
cilities. The reply was: "The un

cessity yet.'' .
