ENROLLMENT IN
UNIVERSITY WILL
EXCEED LAST YEAR
Come out 750 Stronj,.
campus changes to
accommodate them
Hig Demand for Rooms Swamps Y.
M. C. A. AgencyS Student Tickets
Going Fast.
From the Oklahoma Daily.
Although the war has taken a
heavy toll of the members of the
upper classes, the enrollment of the
university this year will not \h\S
fected to any noticeable extert .
was the opinion expressed by R.eg
istrar Krrett R. Newby this morning.
The greatest change will be the in-
creased enrollment of the girls in the
university. Instead of there beinf.
at,out CO per cent boys as was the case
in former years reports seem to in-
dicate that the girls will comprise
more than half of the student body.
Un to 8 o'clock this morning ->7G
students has enrolled in the univer-
sity and of these about o5 per cent
were boys. The registrars office an-
nounced that this was 8 large e"r°"j
ment considering the fact tha |
freshman class was not supposed to
enroll until the first of this week
Enrollment blanks are coming in with
every mail and Sunday brought over
300 students to the university, the
larger per cent of these students have
not yet martriculated in the univer-
sity. Mr. Newby expects that by
Thursday the enrollment will pass the
1300 mark.
The students are buying student
tickets faster than in any previous
vear was the statement issued by
Financial Clerk J. L. Lindsey Satur-
day and if this pace keeps up the
student association will be on a nice
footing at the beginning of the school
year. Mr. Lindsey Stated that while
lie did not have record of the number
of tickets purchased up to this time
last year he felt that the number al-
ready purchased was far in advance
over this time last year.
The summer school whose enroll-
ment is totaled with that of the re-
gular session had 200 more student-
present that in any previous year
and with this great increase as a
measure to judge the winter session
by. faculty members believe that the
enrollment for the winter session will
hold in a like ratio. The total ernoll-
ment last year was about 2800 and up
to the present time this year already
students have enrolled with the en-
tire freshman class still to enroll the
total number of students should ap-
proach the 3000 mark.
Chauncey Black who has charge of
the location of students in rooming
house for the Y. M. C. A. announces
that up to the present time there has |
been a greater demand for rooms than
last year. He stimates that the
freshman class will be larger than
the class of last year 150 students.
He states that the students are eoni-
inv in every day requesting rooms and
all parties who have rooms to rent
should communicate with him at

Oil SOLDIER BOYS
One of the largest crowds ever
united in Norman met on Main street
Thursday at noon and marched to
Edwards' park in honor of the first
20 percent of Cleveland 1 oun.ty s
quota, of soldier boys, who left at
2 o'clock for Camp Travis near San
Antonio, Texas.
At the park a most excellent pro-
gram was carried out and much
patriotism demonstrated.
Dean J. S. Buchanan, in a very
brief talk, bade the boys God speed.
He was followed by Dr. S. D. Brooks
who talked of the great conflict we
are facing and of the great sacrifice
our boys are making.
The Norman municipal band fur-
nished the music for the occasion,
which was greatly appreciated by all.
A collection was taken to repay the
Red Cross society, which had pre-
pared a large box of fruit for each
of the boys, also included in each box
was a can of tobacco and four eigais.
A hundred watermelons were also
given the boys.
Those leaving are as follows.
Charles O. McDaniel, Norman.
M. M. Meltabarger, Norman.
Willard Darrow, Norman.
Samuel Pougeloff, Norman.
Pervy H. Northcutt, Lexington.
John Win. Hicks, Norman.

The task of training and leading a
choir of over a hundred voices is one
which requires no small degree of
knowledge along this line.
Prof. J. Q- Brown, choister and
soloist of the Lowry party is a gra-

This is the third year Prof. Brown j

after the party is gone his solos and
directing will long hold a place in the
hearts of the people.

Mae Adams, the woman's worker,

Some thieves stole the H. L. Hul-

the Beta house, Teusday morning at
, an early hour, and drove it so wreck-

damaged. Mr. Muldrow offers a re-

viction of the guilty ones, and says
if they are found he will prosecute I
them to the fullest extent of the law.
Such Vandalism must be stoppedJ
