ing a higher education and says
college is no place for him.
If Prince had remembered the
fate that was meted Mary's little
lamb, he probably would not have
tried to follow his mistress, Miss
Katherine Nitterhouse, Butler uni
versity freshman, to school. But he
didn't know this-he's only dog.
Prince Followed Car
When Katherine, who lives at
1850 Central avenue, boarded a
street car for Butler the other morn
ing, Prince decided home was en-
tirely too quiet and lonesome. He
followed the car.
And. although his mistress made
transfers to other cars at Central
and Thirty-fourth, mad again at Il
linois street, his dog sense" kept
him on the trail.
ANY dog as smart as this de-
serves a place On the campus, ac-
cording to Katherine'S sister pledges
in the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority.
But Katherine didn't feel that way
so Prince promptly was returned
home.
Reason for His Love
There's a reason for this unusual
attachment for his mistress. Three
years ago Prince broke a leg;

NROLLMENT or

IN HARD TIMES
Only Four Schools in Sur
vey Report Decrease; |. U.
Shows 1877 Drop.

5v United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. drought
and the business depression, in
stead Of decreasing the enrolment
in American colleges this year, are
likely to cause the heaviest attend
ance in years, a survey by the
United Press indicated today.
Only four schools in the compre-
hensiye list included IN the survey
reported q decreased enrolment OF
any considerable size, and only
three Of them attributed it to
business depression.
The University of Mississippi
reports fifty fewer students than
last year. Financial depression" !"
was the terse explanation offered by
r. l.. Sullivan, registrar. Missis-
sippi A. 81 M. reported a decrease
and blamed it on bad crops"
Indiana university reported 1877
fewer students than at this time
last year and officials there ascribed
the decrease to hard times" The
University of Illinois gave its new
student as 545 less than in 1929,
but offered no explanation.
College Man Favored
On the other hand there were
several educators who expressed the
belief that shortage of jobs had sent
many students back to school who
otherwise would not have completed
their education.
'Paradoxical as it may seem" !"
said President Thomas w. Atkinson
of Louisiana State University, the
business depression is a visible ex-
planation for the increased enroll
ment. In the scarcity of positions
which has prevailed recently, par
ents have seen that it is the college
man or woman who has landed
the job"
Studies of enrollments show that
periods of prosperity and depres-
sion just about cancel each other"
said Glenn Frank, president of the
University of Wisconsin. If these
periods have any effect on college
enrollments, the tendency seems to
be for prosperity to slow up and
for depression to speed up registra-
tions."
Increases Reported
Among the schools reporting in
creased enrollments with the
amount of their increase we're: Ho-
