A new enrollment procedure which had all students with 90 or less hours en- rolling the same day, caused lines that stretched from the center of the Administra- tion building to the stairs north of the Field- house. The total enrollment was down 503 from the previous fall number. Registrar Virgil Sharpe said that the main drop occur- red in the bootstrap program. The program was down 15 per cent.
