Carolina will be hampered- by
lack of reserves with enougl4 ex

it was learned today from John A.

So far. 955 men ind 670 women
ist have enrolled at the University. At
tw the same date last year, 1112 men
or and 616 women had registered. i
he This is a depreciable decrease in
a the total number of n"en and a
!rs slight increase in that of women.
he "The University is very pleased
ly. with the enrollment although there
is a slight decrease,' stated Dean 2
Chase. "Because of war conditions t
and selective service, we were 0
nd afraid that there would be a big 8
he4decrease in registration but we are
in encouraged by the high number,"
he added.
SDean Chase pointed out to stu
9tents that Saturday, Sept. 26, at
one o'clock, is the last date for reg

Dr. J. Rioh- McKissick, in a
speech to a gathering of studentf'ii
chapel last week, declared that no
ptudent would remain long. at the
University who did not show an in
tention of serious study in prepar
ing for service, "no matter whose
sons they may be."
During freshman week, Naval
ROTC candidates were tested and
chosen and an exceptionally large
class of applicants attended exami
nations given then.
Meanwhile, the University in a
state of war has made many
changes-t meet conditions. Speed
up- of cotris" through summer
school and high-school-student ma
triculation also was recommended
ast year by the faculty. Full course
loads are required of men enlisted
with enlisted reserves.
Pre-dental and pre-medical cours
es are being emphasized especially
in conjunction with the Navy's
)lan for pre-med and pre-dental stu
lents allowing them to be deferred
provided they are accepted at ac
credited schools of their respective
professions.
A pre-nursing course was added
at the University last semester and
a good number of women students
are registered under this plan for
the coming year.
Pre-nursing students attend the
University for two years and then
go to the Columbia Hostpital for
training as nurses.
Civilian defense units of students
for the servicing of tenements and
ather buildings were formed last
year and will be reorganized soon.
Early in October, teams from the
Marine, Army and Air Corps re
:ruiting services will be on the cam
pus to explain their plans and will
-eturn later to enlist students ap
)lying.
Registration for mathematics
.ourses increased greatly in recog
iftion of the need of the fighting
orces for men trained in mathe
natics and related subjects. De
:ided drops in certain AB courses
ndicate that most students are aim
ag at war related college curricular.
Physical education requirements
or all students have been raised, 8
:redits being specified for gradu
Ltion for all freshmen, sophomores
Lnd juniors. An intensified course
n gym will endeavor to put men
tudents in shape for stiff Army
raimig.
With the lowering of the draft
~ge an eminent possibility, work in
he classes got under way' more
apidly this year than ever before.
