tfdttu ' H JtratcrJ Boasting the biggest enrollment in the University ' s history, the administration was faced with the difficult task of finding class- room space and living quarters for many of the new students. With the fall semester climbing to an all-time high of 1820 stu- dents and the spring semester dropping off to 1649, the need arose for additional classrooms. Temporary classrooms were constructed in front of the Engineering building to alleviate the crowded conditions. The administration again was forced to use the old gymnasium for men ' s sleeping quarters. With the beginning of the fall semester no new fees were added to registration, but there was an increase for the meals at the dining hall. The monthly rates were increased from $40 to $45.
