Says In -Laws Out
CHICACO, 111. (ACP). The "in
laws" are on the way out as im
portant marital influences, and
married couples today feel they
are strictly on their own, says a
university of Chicago sociologist.
Prof. Krnest W. Burgess told a
group of ministers that in the
past couples patterned their mar
riages after those of their par
ents. "But now," he said, "they don't
nsk advice of their parents and
the in-laws are playing less and
less an important role."

U.S. College
Enrollment
Drops 13
Figures released by the Office
of Education this week disclose
that college and university en
rollment fell off 13.7 percent be
tween October 1941 and October
1942.
A questionnaire sent to all types
of institutions of higher educa
tion showed that 15.5 percent of
the nation's men students have
left college, while 11.2 percent of
the usual crop of college women
have dropped out.
Junior colleges have been most
heavily hit by enrollment de
creases, having lost 24.3 percent
of their students during the year.
Office of Education officials ex
plain that most junior colleges are
located in the home regions of
the students, and new war indus
tries springing up alongside have
attracted students from their 2
year college courses. Some jun
ior college men, of course, have
been drafted, and in many cases
the junior colleges themselves
have been taken over by the gov
ernment, Army or Navy.
A breakdown of the figures
show that state and other publicly
controlled universities lost 15.9
percent of their students whlie
church controlled and other non
public institutions dropped only
11.7 percent. Corresponding fig
ures for certain types of schools
show that teachers' colleges and
normal schools have dropped off
by 21.4 percent, aggravating the
serious teacher shortage which has
already occurred in the country.
Liberal arts colleges and profes
sional schools have lost only 10.7
percent of their enrollment, due
probably to the fact that some
men professional students doc
tors, engineers, chemists, and phy
sicists have been allowed by their
draft boards to continue their
studies.
Office of Education statisticians
who compiled the study report
that an even sharper enrollment
drop will be noticed when the 18
19 year old draft affecting about
one-third of the men in colleges
and universities gets under way.
Army Cuts Travel
For Service Men
During Holidays
Setting an example for the coun
try at large, the army ruled that
only 10 percent of the soldiers in
any one unit may go on furlough
between Dec. 12 and Jan. 12. An
other 10 percent, war department
officials announce, may have a one
day pass over Christmas, as such a
pass will entail little traveling.
The regulation was made in order
to relieve the unprecedented strain
on transportation facilities which
the office of defense transportation
expects over the holidays.

Takes Action
On Absences
Order of business at the meet
ing of Student Council last night
was taken care of in a Bhort time
as members met and voted for ad
journment in five minutes.
The judiciary committee was
asked to investigate the high
amount of absences, and a letter
from the USO asking for school
pennants was read. The position
of unaffiliated man in pharmacy
college is still vacant.
Committee in charge of collect
ing status of junior men under the
activity system is composed, of
Gene Reece, Willard Visek and

chemistry, veterinary, dentistry,
pharmacy, medicine and other
such courses.
This leaves approximately 1.000
students remaining who are
elgible and subject to the draft
or who are under 18 years old,
The following unofficial informa
tion has thus been compiled:
(1) There are 195 freshmen in
the ERC elgible for call.
(2) A total of 179 sophomores
are in ERC and may be called by
the government.
3) There are 205 juniors in th
Army Reserve, of which 180 art
first year R. O. T. C. officers. Col
J. P. Murphy stated that it is
likely that the 180 will complete
their training at UN.
(4) There are 41 seniors sub
ject to immediate call; Colonel
Murphy commented that the 168
senior R. O. T. C. cadets likely
will remain to the end of th
year.
(5) Approximately 100 UN stu
dents are in the Air Corps reserve
and subject to call.
(6) There are 119 Army reserv
ist who are earmarked for th
Navy on completion of their basic
R. O. T. C. training.
Dean Thompson warned th
campus to beware of rumors
Many statements are merely spec
ulation and no one can definitel)
give information regarding th
future of UN students. The dear
believes that if they do call ir
the reserves, only a few will be
taken at a time. He mentioned
however, that anything is possible
Mean while, he emphasized, kee
studying.
