4430 Students Will Register This Afternoon in Mem Hall

With the thermometer dropping towards ten degrees, undergraduates will register for the spring term today, filing into Memorial Hall from 1 to 5p.m. to sign cards and read memoranda.

Approximately 4430 men will register. This figure is composed of 4413 students who were present in the College before the mid-year examinations, an increase of 80 over last year, and 69 students who will return to the College after a period of absence. The final figure cannot be exactly determined because there will be approximately 50 students who will drop out because of scholastic, financial, and disciplimary difficulties.

People whose names fall between A and M register from 1 to 3 p.m., followed by N to Z from 3 to 4p.m. Anyone may register from 4 to 5p.m. Those who fail to report must pay a fine of $10 unless they can produce an extraordinary alibi. "Only an 'act of God" will be considered as a valid excuse," Sargent Kennedy '28, Registrar of the College said yesterday.

Kennedy also pointed out that since classes start before registration many students will have to be in residence by this morning to attend their first course meetings. Failure to report at these meetings "will result in possible disciplinary action," he added.

Also holding their first meetings are ten courses for the first time offered this term: English Fa, English Kb, English Kb, Engineering Science 142, French 127, Government 104, History 138, History 167, Semetic 166a, and Social Relations 113.

Freshmen not previously enrolled in the Army ROTC program will be able to enroll in it for the first time this term, Col. Trevor N. Dupuy revealed. Dupuy also emphasized that all Military Science courses are open to the student body and may be used for upper level distribution requirements.

Courses which section will do so tomorrow in Memorial Hall from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. First meetings in these courses will be held Monday and Tuesday of next week.
