UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, TUESDAY’, JANUARY 7, 1<MU
Number 22
10.000
Enrollment
Sets Mark
Almost 10.000 students,
hampered by an ice and snow
storm that covered most of the
Southeast, have registered for
classes at the University this
quarter.
Hy late Monday the total had
already reached the 9,950
mark. "We expect to go well
over 10,000,” said Regis
trar Walter N. Danner.
This is already the largest
winter quarter enrollment in
the history of the University.”
He noted however that “late
fees are still being paid and an
accurate total will not be avail
able until late next week.”
Because of the storm—the
worst to hit Athens since 1960
when there was five inches of
snow—students were permitted
to register Thursday or Friday
without penalty.
The lines at Stegeman were
notably shorter than those fall
quarter, presumably because of
the snow and pre-registration.
One student remarked that he
entered Stegeman about 20
minutes ahead of schedule.
“There wasn’t anyone else there
so they let us go in,” he said.
Registration last winter
quarter was approximately
9,500. Fall quarter over 10,500
were registered.
Inside The II & B
The tone of the University
campus is conservative, as a Red

story on page three illustrates
that student opinion favors Sen.
harry Goldwater of Arizona for
the Republican presidential
nomination. On page seven the
Georgia swimming team is pack
ing its trunks for its annual trip
to the sunshine state of Florida,
where it faces a rugged schedule.

For Ag Lab
By DON NICHOLS
The new $10 million agri
cultural research laboratory
that received approval from
Congress in late December,
sponsored by Sen. Richard B.
Russell, will definitely be
housed on south campus of the
University, the News Bureau
announced Mondny.
Ground is now being broken
for the Agricultural Products
Utilization laboratory and ac
tual construction is expected to
begin sometime this year.
Funds for the laboratory
were included in a compromise
agriculture appropriation bill
passed by Congress. The bill
was Introduced by Russell.
University President O. C,
Aderhold said that the Univer
sity not only is nenr the geo
graphical center of the South
east, lint offers in its science
center complete resources for
research in chemistry, biology,
nutrition, food technology and
other sciences.
The new laboratory is in
tended to find new uses for
farm products. "It will be an
economic benefit to this part
of Georgia from a payroll
standpoint,” Sen. Russell said.
The estimated annual payroll
is $5 million, while an addi
tional $3 million will be spent
to equip the laboratory.
Russell also said that the
lab will contribute to the In
dustrial growth of both the
state and the South.

more on foul shots with one

"Everything at the Univer
sity campus Is looking up,”
William A. Hudson said recent
ly. The director of planning
Campus Value Rises
and development summed up
the architecture and worth of
the University in the word
“up.”
The campus has taken that
direction visibly in recent
months and is now worth $60
million, Hudson estimated. The
first building of the upward
trend was completed this fall.
It is Creswell Hall and dining
area, comprising the nine-
story dormitory for freshman
girls.
This $3,600,000 hall, located
on Baxter Street, represents
future eypansioti of Lumpkin
Street. Within the next 10
years 4 5 acres near the new
dormitory will be developed as
part of the urban renewal ad
ditions to the University, Hud
son said.
Moving South
Campus construction during
the past year has tended to
round-out south campus. One
of several new structures soon
to be completed is the

upward swing in architecture.

costing $1,600,000 is antici
