The opening paragraph of the

Vet Enrolment
II Percent Below

Veterans enrollments in colleges
and universities under the CT Bill
and Public Law 16 (for the dis
abledD on November 1, 1949, were
about II percent below enrollments
of a year .ago on a nationwide
basis.
On the other hand, enrollments
in schools below the college level
mainly trade and vocational schools
on November 1, 1949, were at an
all-time high, approximately % per
cent above the totals for Noven-
Der 1, 1948.
Veterans Administration today
disclosed these proportions, and
pointed out that while the Novem-
Der 1, 1949, statistics represent the
bulk of fall enrollments of veter-
ans, complete enrolment data for
the current fall term probably will
not be available for another month
In numbers, veterans in colleges
and universities under both laws on
November 1, 1949, totaled $4,000,
compared with $4,000 year ago.
Below college level enrollments
this year are $4,000. A year ago,
the total was $4,000.
The drop in college enrollments
took place both under the CT Bill
and Public Law 16. The rise in
the number of veterans attending
school below college, however, was
confined to CT Bill enrollees alone.
Public Law 16 enrollments in
schools below the college level de-
clined II percent from Novem-
Der 1, 1948, to November 1, 1949.
In Arizona the number of veter-
ans enrolled in institutions of high

Rabbits Lead Golfers
Asfray in Australia

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA. - Out
in Goondiwindi golfers are mad
at the millions of rabbits in the
district. It's not that they eat the
greens, burrow in the fairways
or steal the balls. They merely
lead the caddies away from the
course.
The trouble revolves around
the high prices of rabbit car
casses and skins. Local caddies
now go rabbiting. Schoolboys
make up to $50 a week from
rabbits in their spare time.
Clever rabbiters are making three
times that amount.

The club, according to informa-

students who have volunteered to
help with the work in the library

take charge of the circulation
desk; they shelve books; they keep
the magazine rack Strengthened.
In addition the club is helping to
build up the library: They are aid
ing in making the card catalogue;
they are assisting as new books
are added; they are helping to plan
displays to create interest in what
the library has to offer the student.
Miss Burkert plans to hold short
periods of instruction for the girls
in the club to cover such subjects
as mending and repairing books,
filing cards, keeping a vertical file.
and preparing books for use.
Social functions of the club got
off to an initiation of new men,
bers held at the home of the presi-
dent, Betty Lou Carrow, on Febru-

guarantees that the new club will
take its place with the best of the

the school and in it's social affairs.
