Fall Session Starts Monday At Birmingham Southern.
 Students Arriving

The 1923-24 session at Birming- ham Southern college gets under way Monday when the first students start registering at o'clock at the deans office. Monday and Tuesday will be devoted entirely to registra- tion and assigning classes, while the first sessions in the class room and assembly will be held Wednesday morning.
 With the largest enrolment in the history of the school the first half of the week may have to be taken up with registering the students. The freshman class alone will run well over 400, from present indica- tions. A count early last week showed that 367 had already turned in their names at the office. This will put the actual enrolment this year up near the 700 mark. it is es- timated, and prospects for the great est year of the college Is very bright.
 With the new library building now completed and occupied the old library rooms will be used for chem stry and biology laboratories. The college has also taken over Owens hall, which the Simpson school is vacating to move into their new building. This will provide space for classes.
 The problem of housing the large number Of boarding stl dents is be- ing handled through a canvass ot residences in the college district at Owenton and taking a census of available rooms for rent and board ing places and disposing of them among tho students. Practically all of the dormtories on the campus have been filled for the coming year.
 The taking over of Owens hall largely relieves the congestion in class room space. Conditions were rather crowded last year on account of lack of space. The newly az quired building provides a number of class rooms.
 The faculty this year has been increased to handle the larger en- rollment and plans for broadening out proportionally have been made. The new library building will pro- vide special reading rooms for out side reading assignments and study rooms No classes wll be held in the library building. The Gold and Black and La Revue, college publications, will have their offices in the build ing.
 Students started coming in Sun day and will be arriving during the first half of the week.
