Four h u n d r e d t w e n t y n e w
students were accepted by t h e
first of September, D r . John H .
Bone, dean of students, reported.
This total includes 30 t r a n s fers from other colleges, five
registered nurses who will w o r k
toward a nursing education degree, 131 elementary majors,
131 physical education majors
(72 women; 59 men) and 123
secondary majors.
Completed figures w o n ' t be
available for a few weeks, said
Dr. Bone, because a certain percentage of new students usually
drop out within the first weeks
of college. T h e exact n u m b e r
of drops, however, cannot be
determined.
However, enrollment for the year is expected t o
be about 1400, w i t h slightly
rnore women t h a n men.
Because less students than had
been anticipated had cancelled
their admission, three w o m e n
have been placed in some double
rooms in Russell Hall. D r . Bone
said this setup is temporary and
he expects t h e situation t o be
corrected w i t h i n a week or so.

Totaling

the
grants are the first in a series
and are based proportionately on
the population served by each
library. A second distribution
of grants is expected this fall. .
Gov. David L. Lawrence said
that this is a milestone in state
education and should enrich and
enlarge the library service in
even the smallest communities.
Ralph Blasingame, Jr., state
librarian, said that the purpose
of the initial grants is to increase
both the juvenile and adult information resources of the libraries.
" E a c h l i b r a r y is asked to
spend 40 percent of the funds
for juvenile books and t h e balance for adult non-fiction or
reference books," said Blasingame.
