The only reason that the Oklahoma
College for Women viii have no more
students for the second semester Of
the present school year, which opens
Jan. 8, than were enrolled during the
first semester, is that there is no
room to handle any more. Nellie
Sparks hall, the dormitory, is full to
its utmost capacity and there are 81
pupils boarding in private homes In
Chickasha.
Every boarding student attending
the college during the first semester
will return for the second, with the
exception OF three. TWO Of the young
ladies we're married during the holi-
days and the family OF one student.
for business reasons, moved to Nor
man, Okla. This student will attend
The Oklahoma university during the
second semester Two Of these
places in Nellie Sparks hall will be
filled by young ladies from Spiro,
Okla. They have been boarding in .
private home in Chickasha, awaiting
an opportunity to secure acoommoda-
tions in the dormitory. The other
vacant place viii be filled by one Sc
lected from those on the waiting list;
The quota OF Nellie Sparks hall is
132 boarding students and it has
been full since the day 1t was com-
pleted. The enrolment of boarding
students is 20 less than last year, for
the reason that that number we're
accommodated in house adjoining
the campus. During last summer
this house was sold and is now used
as q boarding place for number Of
the faculty.
Receipts Computed.
President G. w Austin does not
have q hard time figuring the income
derived from Nellie Sparks hail. He
simply muItiplies 1872 BY 1s, which
latter figure represents the number
Of dollars charged each student for
q months board He then multiplies
the result by the number Of months
in the school year, The answer. Is.
the total revenue from the dormitory
for the year. He can make these
calculations in advance, for there
never is vacancy for day. In the
event a, student leaves, the place is
gilled by another from the waiting
list. In the business office at this
time there are 40 applications for
accommodations in Nellie Sparks
hall. the makers Of which applica-
tions refuse to take their deposits
down. These deposits date back as
far as last summer. In addition.
there is a list Of 30 applications re-
ceived during the Christmas vaca-
ton by letter, telegram and tele-
phone. a
NO Delinquent Board bills.
There is another feature about Mel
lie Sparks hall. The business office.
has no trouble with delinquent board
bills" The sun never sets on the
close Of a calendar month, leaving a.
cent due for board. Every boarding
student trips daintily up to the CASH
ier before the close Of the month
and leaves the sum Of SIS. Not that
thew would not do this in the absence
Of an iron clad rule; but there is a
rule to the general effect that il
there is a delinquent board bill" at
Tie end Of the month, the owner Of
that bill loses her place in the dormi-
tory. which viii be filled from the
waiting list. It might be well to
mention that none have lost their
place for this reason.
