During Summer
Medical School Reports
Enrolment Rise; Liberal
Arts Glasses Decline

With summer sessions now under
way, campus activities at George
town University are being curtailed
until the opening of the fall term,
it was announced yesterday.
The Hoya, campus news publica-
ton, will be issued bi-weekly. 1t
will resume weekly publication in
September. Frank G. Murphy of
Detroit, Mich. 1928 editor in
chief, and several staff members are
attending the summer session at the
college, and the first issue will be
distributed on the campus Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Murphy, a veteran on the
Hoya staff, served as managing edi-
tor In his junior year and contrib
utor for three years.
Station GBS and the Rife Club,
the latter an important phase of the
ROTC. are the only other campus
organizations functioning this sum-
mer. A broad program of intra-
mural athletics has been drawn up
however, to keep students physically
fit. Swimming, tennis, track and
soft ball are included.
Station GBS, of which Martin
Garvey is president, will continue
its regular series of broadcasts-
legally confined to the campus
featuring daily announcements of
activities, music and occasional in
terviews with faculty members and
student leaders. The Georgetown
| station is a member of the intercol-
1egiate network and in one year OF
operation has become perhaps the
most popular activity on the campus
Registration figures for the sum-
mer classes are incomplete, no report
having been received from the
school Of law and only an approx
mate estimate from the school OF
foreign service. Since f1rst-year stu
dents may enter at the start of either
one of three terms during the year
a great many have delayed register
ing until September.
Medical Students Increase.
The enrolment in the school oi
medicine is 306. slightly in excess
of last years full registration. The
increase no doubt Is partly due tt
selective service regulations whereby
most medical students are allowed
to complete their courses. Also, stu.
dents now may enter the medica
school after only three years of pre-.
medical work. The registration TO,
the school of dentistry, 1913 at thi.
time, Is one less than last years.
The school OF foreign service hae
| not compiled its own figures, but tn,
summer enrolment is approximately
400, which was considered very salts
factory In view of war conditions
The summer enrolment in the col
lege of arts and sciences, as reported
Tuesday, was 500. Forty-fi stu
dents are attending the graduate
school.
The college OF arts and sciences
registration, compared with 725 a
the beginning OF the term last year
has the most serious reduction, bu
that was expected. There are II,
fre4hn1en. Others have registeret
since Tuesday, and the deans off1c,
is confident stl1at at least t35 addi
tionaI freshmen viii enter In Sep
tember.
