Proportion of Women Stud
ent* Now Larger; Late Ueg-
islralion Heavy
With an Increased enrollment over
last year, despite the current busi
ness depression, the one hundred
and thirty-second annual session of
the University of Georgia was official
ly opened Wednesday, September 16.
Pope F. Brock, Macon lawyer and
president of the Alumni society, de
livered the address of the day in tho
chapel.
A totul of 1,644 students, 28 more
than on the corresponding date last
year, were matriculated when the
offices closed September 23. Late
registration is still in progress, ac
cording to T. W. Reed, registrar and
treasurer.
.More Girls
There ure more freshmen girls
than boys, and there is a 10 per
cent Increase in women students in
the entire student body. Because
of many transfers and a heavy late
registration, one of the largest en
rollments in the history of the uni
versity seems possible, officials say.
Mr. Brock asked the students in
his opening address to pay much at
tention to politics and current
events, for much of today’s trouble
comes from a lack of Interest shown
in these things by proceeding genera
tions, he stated.

prominent Athenians, luncheons, din
ners, gatherings and entertainments
preceded the beginning of ciasswork
on Monday, September 16.
Freshman Week was begun in
