When 70 special music students
register, the final enrollment of
Day Division students will exceed
the predicted total of 3,100. The
total on Monday of this week was
3,061. Last year’s enrollment reach-
ed 2,703 students for the Fall 1961
school term. The Evening Division
total is 4,822.
Registrar Jerome Weynand who
supplied these figures added that
class changes involved 20 per cent
of the student body. Approximate-
ly 600 students altered their class
schedule by one or more changes.
Mr. Weynand also stated that
the office staff and faculty will be
occupied until October 15 with
the annual fall report of both Day
and Evening Division students to time. Dues were set at $1.25 per
the Texas State Education Agency, semester.
A list of field trips which will
be taken throughout the year was
drawn up by the Alpha Sigma
Kappa Science Club at its first
meeting Monday, September 24.
Twenty-five prospective mem-
bers were present, and anyone
who is interested is urged to at-
tend the next meeting which will
be held Monday, October 1, in
C. G. 304, at 12 noon. Officers for
the year will be elected at that
A noon-day dance on Septem-
ber 20 kicked-off the annual
United Fund money-raising cam-
paign. The dance, sponsored by
the Student Council and the sor-
orities, was the beginning of a
drive that extended into class-
rooms, where the familiar “can-
rattling” was heard.
Fifty-two welfa're, health and
youth agencies are represented in
this year’s UF campaign to raise
$1,799,846, the largest goal in the
history of local federated fund-
raising.
Described as the area’s biggest
philanthropic effort, the drive will
cover all parts of Bexar County
through a vast corps of volunteer
workers, • many of whom also
serve as volunteers with the
various United Fund agencies.
The campaign this year includes
two more agencies than were rep-
resented in the United Fund a year
ago. They are the Salvation Army
Corps and the Salvation Army
Home and Hospital, both of which
have been allotted $66,530.
Mrs. Lillian Carlson and Dr.
Louise Gossett, new co-sponsor of
the club, were also present at the
first meeting and introduced to
the members. Mrs. Dolores Pena,
2 Club president, presided
the election of Mrs. Rose
Karp, vice-president.

SAC are invited to
next meeting, October
1:30 p.m. in the Ballroom.
Open House Date
At their first meeting of the
year, GOAL Club members select-
ed Sunday, October 14, as the
date for the traditional Open
House at SAC. The public will be
invited to visit the campus and
enjoy the Planetarium Shows
scheduled for 2:30, 3:30, and
4:30 p.m. Refreshments will be
served by GOAL Club members
in the Loftin Student Center.
“It’s not made of blae
cheese,” says Jimmy
Coleman as he looks at
the moon through the
telescope that has been
placed just outside the
Planetarium. Frank Mc-
Connell, Planetarium di-
rector, installed the
outside telescope so
that when bus loads of
students from elemen-
tary, junior, and senior
high schools attend the
shows they can get an
extra peak at the moon.
This year Mr. McCon-
nell has also arranged
a series of eight lec-
tures especially for
SACites. The next ones
are on October 2 and
3 at 9 and 11 a.m.

Pledging antics in the Student
Center next week close sorority
rush activities which began Sep-
tember 20 and 21. On these dates,
approximately 150 girls attended
the festive rush parties held from
■7 to 9 p.m.
Three sororities staged parties
each night. On Thursday evening,
• September 20, Alpha Delta Phi
sorority welcomed guests with a
“Showboat” theme in the Ball-
room. As each girl arrived, she
■ was ushered up a gangplank onto
.a deck. The deck consisted of nine
feet of cardboard constructed in
the shape of a showboat. A cap-
tain’s room in red cardboard, two
smoke stacks, and a large sign
with the Greek letters of the sor-
ority and the word
hung over the deck.
When the visitors stepped down
into the ballroom, they were
served refreshments at a bar on
the left side of the room. At the
far end was another cardboard
backdrop, this one with an old
fashioned upright piano painted
on it. On a stage in front of the
cardboard, two can-can dancers
spoke to guests from high stools.
Placed at various places around
the room were wooden tables cov-
ered with red checked tablecloths.
A hollow tree trunk opened the
door to Alice in Wonderland’s
Rose Garden and the Mad Hatter’s
Tea Party for girls attending Beta
Alpha Omega’s rush party, also on
Thursday evening.
When guests stepped through
the tree, they were greeted by
the doormouse and then ushered to
the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. The
Mad Hatter’s hat, filled with roses,
and a teapot complete with mouse
formed the table decorations. Tea
cakes and lemonade were served
as refreshments. Name tags on the
chairs around the table designated
the Mad Hatter’s guests.
After serving in the Navy as a
radio operator, he returned to the
University to receive his M.A.
and teach there for six years. In
the summer of 1957, Dr. Bell
journeyed to Paris where he
studied at the Sorbonne and
Phoentic Institute. The French
government awarded him two cer-
tificates which recognize his qual-
ifications as a teacher of French.
The large talking flowers from
Alice’s garden nodded from the
walls while large and gaily col-
ored butterflies flitted overhead.
Roses lined the walls, and five
