During enrollment, students consult with advisers, complete semester schedules, pull course cards and pay state fees. Enrolling 3,100 new students during fall registration, Admis- sions and Records is headed by Ellsworth M. Gerritz. Man-woman ratio drops; enrollment figures soar For the first time in 20 years, during fall enrollment the student ratio of men to women was less than two to one. According to statis- tics collected by the Office of Admissions and Records, total enrollment soared to more than 9,900, breaking the spring 1964 record of 9,175. As well as supervising registration, Admis- sions and Records compiled student records and corresponded with prospective K-Staters and their parents. In addition to on-campus duties, Ellsworth M. Gerritz, dean of Admissions and Records, spent three weeks in West Africa selecting future K-Staters. For six weeks Gerritz was consultant to the registrar of Andhra Pradesh University in Hyderabad, India. Administrative Heads-Top Row: A. B. Cardwell, General Research Director; C. M.

Agricultural research, extension and resident instruction are supervised by Glenn H. Beck, dean of the College. Ag student increase tops land-grant enrollments Largest numerical enrollment increase in any of the 68 land-grant institutions was recorded by the College of Agriculture. With a 23 per cent enrollment jump, Agriculture also made a larger percentage increase than any of the other University colleges. Heading over-all College administration for the fifth year was Dean Glenn Beck. Coupled with its expanded enrollment was a consolidation of facilities. The departments of dairy and poultry science, which had func- tioned as individual units for more than half a century, were united. Kansas Board of Re- gents action placed the former units, both housed in new Call Hall, under a single ad- ministrative head. Agriculture ' s research activities were mag- nified by completion of plans for establish- ment of a Water Resources Research Institute on campus. The Institute, to be operated by K-State and the University of Kansas, would study problems of water resources. Included in the research would be studies of the hydro- logic cycle and of conservation, use and ex- pansion of state water supplies. To the extension service fell the duty of con- ducting a state-wide inventory of forestry resources. Research findings revealed poten- tial forest crops for state production.
