lleginning yesterday. morning, annual ear
ly registration for next semester will last thru
Thursday for upperclassnien, it was announced
by the registrar. Junior division students
should pick up their work sheets at the junior
division office before Thursday and take them
to the assignment committee in the Temple.
Kven if not sure of returning in the fall,
all resident students are expected to register
during this time or a late fee will be charged.
Since no fees are to be paid before the fall
registration period, no hardships will be expe
rienced by any whose plans must be changed.
To register students should go to their
advisor, where they will work out a schedule
of class work and outside employment in de
tail. This will then be presented to the dean
of his college for approval and further in
structions. Summer school registration will be held
June 8 from 8 a. m. to 12 noon and from 2 to
5 p. m. and on June 9 from 8 a. m. to 12 noon.
There will be no early registration this year as
there was last.
Instead of mailing out statements of fees
during the summer as has been done hereto
fore, students wilf call for their registration
slips at the coliseum during the regular regis
tration davs, Sept. 21 to 23, fill out cards and
pay fees. Changes in registration may be made
then after consulation with advisors.
First day of registration has been unusually
slow, according to Dr. A. R. Congdon, head of
university registration, and may necessitate
long lines when students begin to register, he
warned yesterday.
x All UX students, except those under 18 years of age and
those living with their parents, will receive sugar ration book
one when, they register today, tomorrow and Thursday at Ban
croft school.
Spiking rumors to the contrary, the state sugar rationing
board declared yesterday that the only students who are not re
quired toregister are those either under IS or who live with
their family.
This means that all out-of-town
students over 18 years of age will
feel the effect of the order. Ban
croft school is the registration
place for all students living on
tthe campus, and it is open from
2 to 8 p. m. each day. Registra
tion started yesterday.
