DEATH" He Says.

With the definite assurance that
Melvin Bud" Johnson Of Minot and
Cameron Mckay will return to the
university this year and don their
football toys the seasons prospects
we're given a decided boost for other
old men are expected to return also.
Coach Paul Davis is making an eff
fort to secure Scottie Lynch and Bob
Lowe to assist him in coaching the
first team and to get Walter Schlosser
to coach the second eleven this year.
Coach Davis has been informed that
Joe Boyd a intentions of returning
to school and it is certain that Frank
Richards, star basketball man with a
lot of speed and beef. is going to re-
turn and take a crack at the gridiron.
Husky and experienced high school

LARGEST ~"
ENROLMENT
IS EXPECTED
Room Shortage is Serious
Says Secretary in Appeal
to Townspeople.

The largest university enrolment in
the history of the institution is ex-
pected this year, according to Secre-
tary j.. w. Wilkerson. who bases his
estimate on the large number of
early enrollments and the students
who have definitely stated their inten-
ton of returning to school.
The exceptionally large enrolment,
coupled with the existing shortage of
residences and rooms in Grand Forks,
is making the problem of housing the
students a serious one, according to
Mr.. WllkersOn, who states that with
all dormitory rooms reserved there
are now some seventy-1ve students on
the waiting list.
Largest Enrolment.
The large enrolment expected is
due to several causes, mainly the re-
turn to a peace time basis.
A year g there were large num-
bers of high school men who entered
the service and did not come to the
university as they would have lone in
normal times. Many girls were not
able to attend school due to the hare
times and shortage of help during the
war. These people are largely going
to continue school as planned. Added
to this class are the high school
graduates of last spring.
Sc H01lIOcl Va IllcIl WIZ IAdU
been attending university went into
army and navy service and Il large
percentage of these men will return
to finish their work this year. Many
women who were attending university
at the outbreak of the war left schoo,
to enter the teaching and other fields
of work to fill vacancies left by the
men who went into service.
Room Shortage Serious.
With absolutely every available
dormitory room on the campus re
served, there are seventy-fve students
on the waiting list for rooms, says
Mr.. Wilkerson.
Fraternity homes will be filled b,
old men this year and will not be
able to accommodate freshmen who
come to school. There are few
rooms available in Grand Forks city
All available rooms in Grand Forks
have been listed with the registrar Of
the university but there are not near.
ly enough to accommodate the sur.
plus students and there are always q
large number of men and women who
wait until the last day or two before
the opening of school to secure their
rooms.
