The first of ficial statement was issued yesterday for exclusive pub lication in The Gamecock. Figures show that there are 919 men and 336 women enrolled. This is the largest enrollment for the University in all its sessions. On the same day, October 1, for the past two years the reports show: 1923-24, 804 students; 1924-25, 1011 enrolled. The matriculation for this year represents thus far an increase of 451 over the records for the 1923-24 session, and 244 over the last year's, the figures are based on official records for October Ist of each year. When Dr. Melton assumed the presi dency of the University of South Car olina on July 1, 1922 the enrollment stood at the 621 mark. A steady mounting ratio of increase in the stu dent body brought the final registra tion for the year 1924-25 to 1232, with in ten students of doubling the figures in three years. Some idea of the comparative figures given can be appreciated when it is noted that those given below are for the regular session and not for the first term. 1919-20 .......... .............. 578 1920-21 .........-- -- --.......... 605 1921-22 ........ ...... .........621 1922-23 ........................ 746 1923-24 ....................... 909 1924-25 ............ ........... 1232 Comparison of these figures with those of October Ist reveal the differ ence between early and final registra tion reports. While this was being tabulated another student registered for work. Little more than two weeks have passed since the books have been opened; and, according to all indica tions, the registration for the FIRST TERM should reach the 1300 mark. The registrar's books are still open for the semester. Three yers of Dr. Melton's admin istration : a net' increase of 634 in the student body, using the l-nal enroll ment of the year in which he came in comparison with registration for only 15 clays for this term. The figures speak for themselves. -- U.S.C. -- FOOT.BALL TEAM TO ACT AS HOST AGAIN Dance to Be Given in Honor of U. N. C.

The subject of the talk will be "New Men for a New Age." This talk will be along the same line that the Discussion Groups will take up at the meetings Tuesday evening. Some will wonder why or how I?r. Goodell was secured for Sunday eve.. ning, because he is very much in de mand as an evangelist. His visit in Columbia is in connection with a series of sermons to be delivered by him at the First Presbyterian church. He will speak there as special preacher in the first week that the congregation is in its new church. The Macon News has the following to say about Dr. Goodell: "The magne tisn of the speaker, the clearness and kindliness of his message and the charm with which as a man of poise and cul ture he presented the message, all com bined to give a favorable reception to Dr. Goodell." Seven o'clock is the hotgr the service begins. Members of the faculty and co-eds are also invited to attend. - u.s.c.
