Two hundred and eighty-five civilian students failed to respond to the recent questionnaire regard ing summer school." states Dr. W. IT. Callcott, acting registrar. "The addition of that many stu dents would necessitate the hiring of more instructors. We cannot hire instructors or plan courses until we know whether they are needed." Students iwho did not return the ltestionnaire are urged to do so at once by Dr. Callcott. More inquiries than ever before have been received from high school seniors in regards to summer school, according to Dr. Callcott. "This in dicates an usually large enrollment and makes it even more important than we know how many of our present students we should provide for."
