New Procedure
In Registration
By, Raleigh Bryans
Registration for the fall quarter
will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 21,
and continue through Saturday,
Sept. 23, according to new regis
tration rules made available this
week. No prediction was made as
j to the number expected to enroll,
but most officials felt that the
final figure would be slightly less
j than that of last year.
The new rules contain a change
in the registration procedure for up
perclassmen. Designed to eliminate
confusion, the new system calls for
upperclassmen to pick up their regis
tration envelopes between Sept. 21
and 23, and for the use of the ap
pointment slips which have come
j Into general usage during the past
several quarters.
