GRATEST ENROLLMENT IN
UNIVERSITY'S HISTORY
WILLIAM NEWBLOCK GROWERS URGED
SERIOUSLY INJURED TO HOLD COTTON
Many New Students Arriving, And
Largest Freshman Class Expected
Old Students Coming Back
—School Begins Next
Thursday
By long odds the greatest enroll-
ment the University of Oklahoma has
ever enjoyed will come to the institu-
tion the coming semester, and it is
expected to reach the 2,000 mark be-
fore enrollment for the term is finish-
ed. Every available House and room
is being requisitioned and the only
fear is that there will not be enough
to accommodate all the students; that
some will have to go away because
they cannot find rooms. It behooves
every citizen who can possibly do so
to throw open ♦heir homes to stu-
dents and rent rooms to them. In
this way only can we hope to retain
them. A recent issue of the college
paper, the Oklahoma Daily, has the
following conccrning the school year;
The total enrollment of the uni-
versity this year may pass the 3,500
mark and reach 3,700 according to
the most recent estimate made by
Errctt R. Newby, secretary-registrar.
"The predictions that have been
made for an unusually large enroll-
ment are borne out by the large
amount of correspondence from pros-
pective students, the usual number
of entrance credentials being
received at the registry office
daily, and the big demand for board-
ing and rooming accommodations,"
said Mr. Newby in response to an in-
quiry about the indications as to en-
rollment.
The big enrollment is due to sev-
eral factors: First, the fact that
hundreds of students who left the
work and are making plans to get
back to the university. "It has often
been said that this war was a col-
lege man's war and that fact was
repeatedly borne in on the men who
had neglected their education, and hope the eye

they were made to feel the impor-
tance of college training more than
they had ever felt it in the past,"
said Mr. Newby. Hundreds of these
fellows expect to be back in the uni-
versity of Oklahoma and other in-
stitutions to fit themselves for later
life.
Another source that will produce
an unusual number of new students
is the last year's high school gradu-
ating class, which in spite of the war,
was unusually large. There will be

conditions, would have come to the
university, are now ready to begin
their college work. This applies to
women as well as to men because i
many of the women, instead of com-j
ing to the university went into some
office or store to take the place of j
men who had gone into the war.
Demands College Students
Another thing that will lead to a j
big enrollment is the fact that there |
is an ever increasing demand for well [
trained teachers and for college men
to accept positions in business of-
ices and in professions.
The earnest sympathies of the com-
munity go out to him and his par-
ents, with sincere hopes that lie may
soon permanently recover.

ket and distribute our present cotton
crop.
To that end the Governors of the
various cotton growing states have
united in calling a great meeting of
the cotton growers which will be held
at New Orleans September 8th and
9th. It is my desire that representa-
tive cotton growers of Oklahoma at-
tend this meeting in large numbers
and to that end. I am calling upon all
patriotic citizens, whether cotton
growers or not, to aid in giving pub-
licity to this movement and to assist
in the creation of friendly sentiment
that the cotton growers of the South
may lie properly protected in the sale
of this year's crop.
I most earnestly urge all those who j
may be interested in this movement
to volunteer as delegates to the New j
Orleans Canvention and will gladly j
commission as delegates all those j
who may desire to go.
J. 13. A. ROBERTSON, I
Governor.
By this proclamation Governor J. |
B. A. Robertson places his emphatic
support behind the American Cotton j
Association, an organization for tin- j
purpose of procuring for the farmers j
a just and reasonable price for their j
cotton and to break up the present [
method of speculation and unfair j
methods practiced by foreign spin- j
ners and speculators, including cer-
tain interests in the United States.
The Governor has issued a procla-
mation throughout the cotton grow-1
ing counties of the state, urging a j
large delegate attendance at a meet-
ing of the American Cotton Asso- J
tion to be held in New Orleans Sep-'i
tember 8-9. Fifty delegates are be-1
ing appointed from the Oklahoma unit !
of the American Cotton Association. |
Oklahoma being the fourth cotton 1
' state in the Union, it necessarily is
very much interested in a compre- 1
hensive warehouse and marketing sys- t
I tem that will not permit the specula- |
, tors and spinners to beat down the j
price below the cost of production
j as the have done for the last fifty
I years.
Every cotton county 111 the state
should send two or three delegates to
[this convention. Immediately after j
| the armistice was signed, the cotton [
| speculators and spinners made a drive
I on the price of cotton, fully determin- '
' ed to force it back to 15c, or the pre '
I war price: and had it not been for the |
organization of the American Cotton ]
Association, attended by over 3000
farmers, bankers and cotton brokers
of the South, they would no doubt
have accomplished their aim. They
I did force a decline from 35c to 20c in
] less than ninety days. But through
! the efforts of the American Cotton
| Association, participated in by sucht
! men as Robert. L. Owen and Honor-
j able P. G. Harding, Governor of the
j Federal Reserve Bank, and a resident
of Birmingham, Alabama, who help-
| ed to evolve and put the American
Cotton Association in a position to
i hold and market their products safely
and sanely, to the end that the cotton
was brought back to 30c to 35c per
pound.
| By proper marketing and distribut-
ing this years' cotton crop, Oklaho-
| ma will receive $125,000,000 in round
| numbers; but if the speculators and
j spinners are permitted to carry on
j their tactics, err hi' : .he 'rreatest

What Would it Mean to Norman?
In the first place it would mean that the health of our
families and especially our children would be greatly im-
proved. Contagions disease would be practically un-
known here. The very large percent of sickness is due to
dirt, rubbish, garbage and unsanitary conditions general-
"lv.
And what a pleasure you would have in the cleanliness of
your city. If all weeds were cut, all unsightly rubbish re-
moved, all delapidated outbuildings repaired or torn
down. And to know that all unsanitary places have been
cleaned up, both those you see from the street and those
which are hidden. Woldn't it give you pride in your city?
Could you keep from bragging about it wherever you go?
Finally what an inducement that would be to make peo-
ple want to come to Norman. With our University and
other good things could you keep away from "The Clean-
est City in Oklahoma"? It is up to you Mr. Citizen.
Clean up your own premises and insist that your neigh-
bor cleans his.
