Advance reservations be-
ing made at the College of
Industrial Arts indicate an
increase in enrollment next
September of about 100 over
the initial enrollment last
fall, according to Walker
King, registrar.
College authorities, basing their
estimate on reservations made and
inquiries, believe that the college
will start the tegular session with
an attendance of about 1,700, com-
pared with a matriculation last fall
of about 1,600.
Preparations are being made to
care for a larger student body. The
new Sayert Hall which will house
more than MO girls, is nearing com-
pletion. CappA and Lowry Halls
have been renovated and a few
additional rooms in Brackenridge
Hall will be available when the
session opens.
