PEACE BRINGS MANY VETS Other chonges were brought obout because of the unprecedentedly high enrollment. Chapel services were held separately for freshmen and upperclassmen, two evenings a week for each. The infirmary, now entirely too small was moved from Mendel Hall to larger quorters in Middleton Hall The book store was moved to a more spacious section in the west wing of Mendel Hall Eighteen professors were added to faculty, among whom were a number of recent Villonovo graduates. A new Pie Shop was planned to meet the increased demands of a doubled day-student enrollment Expansion was also carried into the field of sports. With a football and basketball team, both far stronger thon any others since 1942, Villonovo again climbed to its heights of pre-war years. Since both of these teams were composed mainly of freshmen, the prospects for the future seem, indeed, to be bright. For the first time since early in 1943 formol dances were returned to the campus social life. The Senior dances were held in January, while those of the Junior class took place, os formerly, in early Spring. However, despite the rapid return of the regular college program, reminders of the war days were to be found in the weekly Mosses offered for the sixty-one Villonovo stu- dents who had given their lives for their country. Though Villonovo has experienced many changes in o few years, it still retains that particular beauty and atmosphere which is port of a small college. True to her heritage of more thon one hundred years, she looks for- ward today, os she has during all her existence, to more and more years of continued service in the cause of Catholic education, and in the cause of Christ, whose message she insists on as vital to a still struggling America. Registration soared to new heights os over 1900 students crowded the campus for the opening of the fall term. As a necessary result of this, long lines formed in front of the offices of the Registrar Dean, and Veterans' Administrator, filled the main corridor of Mendel Holl and overflowed to the front drive. A major problem was evaluating credits obtained by applicants from other colleges and service schools. It became necessary to rearrange the schedule for chapel services in order to accommodate the greatly enlarged student body. In contrast to previous years when one service sufficed for the entire school, separate devotions are conducted for freshmen and upper- classmen. Several Masses are held doily ot various hours in the morning so thot all students, including non-residents, will hove an opportunity to attend.

AND A PDOIl ENROLLMENT Clossroom facilities are crowded as never bofore. and class hours run continuously from eight in the morning until eight in the evening. Students leaving the campus in the early afternoon at the completion of their classes frequently meet a group of commuters com- ing up from the railroad station with books and lunch bag. ready to begin their doy of study. Construction of a temporary building, which will provide an additional sixteen classrooms and six offices for faculty, will help to alleviate the overcrowded condition. The resulting smaller closses will tend to bring bock the smoll-college otmosphere of pre-war Villanova.
