Enrollment Shows 8* Jump; Frosh Class leads With 394 ARTIST SERIES 'Most Popular' Guest Brings Klondike Film The Klondike comes to Union College Saturday evening, October 7, when Don Cooper bririgs his Alaskan life film-lecture. Mr. Cooper's program is the first in this year's Artist-Adventure ser- ies, sponsored by the Activities Committee. According to Elder Sydney Allen, committee chairman, "Mr. Cooper's humorous yet in- formative feature was the most' popular program of last year's ser- ies and we are pleased to have him return with another of his inter- esting programs." An ex-lumberjack familiar with America's "last frontier," Mr. Coop- er is in a position to give first-hand information on Alaskan life. This experience, plus a first-class ability to film the interesting and relate all in a humorous, homespun nar- rative, has made Don Cooper a hit in his presentations all over the country, according to the activities committee.

Students Ask More Study, Less Work, Officer Says An 8 percent increase represented by 64 students brought this year's total enrollment to 862, according to latest figures released by the registrar's office. Of this total there is a "significant increase in the number of freshmen and dormitory students, and an unexplained decrease in the size of the senior class," commented Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean. The freshman class is almost four times the size of the senior class. Exact figures show 394 freshmen, 178 sophomores, 168 juniors 100 seniors and 22 post graduates and adult special students. Of the men and women registered, there are 65 more men than women, and a total of 144 married students. At the end of the third day's registration last year 564 had register- ed, whereas this year the total was Overflow Forces 78 To Off-Campus Houses With dormitories filled to capac- ity, 78 would-be residents of South Hall and Rees Hall have been placed in off-campus housing. Residence permits for South Hall totaled 30 above capacity. To ac- commodate the men, 8 have been placed in rooms 'above the book bindery with upperclassman Roger Davis in charge; 7 men are in Dr. Smith's office with sophomore Charlie Smith as supervisor; and 15 others reside in faculty homes. The men have their own worship in the mornings and attend evening worship in South Hall Chapel. With 48 applications over the capacity of Rees Hall the women have been placed in the Bancroft and Kern courts. Three women and one supervisor are placed in each of the twelve courts. The women are to have morning worship in their respective courts and evening wor- ship in Rees Hall. Chemistry Instructor Home From Hospital Mr. Charles Slattery's right lung collapsed while he was on vacation this summer 'in Pomona, Califor- nia. Mr. Slattery, an instructor in the chemistry department, was in the hospital for two weeks because of a "blow out" of his lung wall. The doctors do not know the cause of the accident. ASB Success Depends On Organized Support, Efficient House Action by Don Tan President, ASB The Associated Student Body of Union College was established to promote harmonious cooperation, establish direct representation, and procure organizational efficiency among the students and staff. It is a democratic organization whose success or failure depends primarily on the support given by the student body. In order for us to realize a better and more efficient student organization, we need not observers of the organization but active members whose critcisms and suggestions are for our mutual good and progress. An organization of the A. S. B. that needs revitalized is the House of Representatives. We plan to make this a truly functioning body by electing representatives who are willing to face whatever problems arise or exist. Success or failure of the House rests on our choice of representatives. Consider seriously only capable candidates who are willing to render their services wholeheartedly for the betterment of college life. The A. S. B. has several projects in mind. These will be un- folded when it seems most expedient. The Executive Officers of the A. S. B. will promote only those projects that have the support of the entire student body. Suggestions or plans from any are wel- come. Let us make this school year one that is replete with rich and rewarding experiences in all phases of our college life—scholastic, social, and, above all, spiritual. 626. Students sent in their appli- cations sooner and registered ear- lier in the week this year, according to Marie Anderson, registrar. Nebraska, with 135 students, has the largest registration among the 35 states represented. Colorado is second with 125; Minnesota follows with 75 and North Dakota has 69. Of states outside the Union Col- lege territory, California sent the most, 20. There are 16 from Illinois and 2 from Hawaii. Twenty-seven students come from 15 foreign countries. Mr. V. S. Dunn, business mana- ger, reports that the average class load is heavier this year and the request for labor hours is down. He believes this may be due to the new tuition plan. Some name problems appear on the student roster. There are two Ron Jensens, one a senior and the other a freshman, both from Ne- braska. There are also two girls named Karen Furman, one Karen Kay and one Karen Ann. Two sets of twins, Jim Allen and Joanne Allen Eskildsen and Karon and Karol Yeager, are listed among the registrants. Dean M. S. Culver reports 260 men under his supervision. Despite the new wing on South Hall some men are having to live in annex apartments. Women are having to live out of the dormitory again this year also. Miss Hilda Fern Remley, dean of women, reports that she has 284 women in Rees Hall and the apartments. Campus Organizations Ask Student Activity Nineteen clubs are open to stu- dents on the Union College campus this year. "These clubs are an important part of the student's life," says Dr. G. L. Caviness, academic dean. "Stu- dents will find much help in pre- paration for their work in one of the departmental clubs. Many hours of enjoyment will be gained by be- longing to some of the independent clubs." Current departmental organiza- tions: Business Club, Fine Arts Guild, Home Economics Club, Min- isterial Association, Ministerial Wives, Mu Epsilon Delta (for pre- meds), Nursing Club, Speech Club, and Teachers of Tomorrow. Departmental clubs normally schedule meetings at 9:20 on Wed- nesdays. £ I n dvs^p e(By tn* Associated Student Body of Union Clollooe ocpt holld»y«, r—Utralion jMiod., ad «Mmta.Si1 * during June and August.
