Record Numbers Enroll For Fall Semester The 1971-72 academic year began not unlike previous years, but with one major difference. It was the big- gest. A record 10,171 students regis- tered for on-campus classes, and vir- tually all of them — or so it seemed — arrived on campus the same week- end in August with most of their worldly possessions. If the registration of underclassmen seemed less hectic, even in the face of record enrollment, it was for good reason. Some 1,182 new freshmen, about half of the total, had registered during special preregistration and orientation earlier in the summer. Begun as a pilot project in 1970, the pre-registration was in its first year of full-scale operation. Registration itself was routine with its line-standing, ID photographs, etc., a necessary prelude to a new year. 26 UNIVERSITY LIFE

Chi Omega Triumphs In Powder Puff During registration week, Kappa Delta Tau again played in the annual powder puff football game. For ' 71, their chal- lenge went to Chi Omega. Sigma Nu took over the sponsorship of the event. Fresh- men, sophomores, juniors and seniors all gathered to watch the girls battle it out under the hot sun. As the afternoon wore on and the girls exhausted their energy supplies, Chi Omega emerged victorious, with a final score of 42-0.
