UNIVERSITY GROWS Ten Percent Increase Shown by Ev- anston Departments of Northwestern as Registration for Year Nears Close Registration in the schools on the Evanston campus of Northwestern university is expected to run 10 per- cent over that of last year, it was es- timated by university officials this week. The schools included in this es- timate are Liberal Arts, Music, Speech, Commerce and Engineering. A rigid sifting out process inaugurat- ed by the university kept the increase lower, it was pointed out. The increase in students has taxed the housing fa- cilities to capacity. Dormitories and fraternity houses are filled and girls' houses are also reported occupied to capacity. The School of Liberal Arts, which last year had a total registration of 2,000, already has 2,200. Registration in the engineering school is 17 percent over that of last year, while the Com- merce school reports a boost of 25 percent in students. In the School of Speech there are 275 registered, which is 30 percent more than last year. Two hundred and twenty-five have enrolled in the music school which is 10 percent more than previous years. President Scott estimated that there are about 300 more students on the Ev- anston campus than last year despite efforts to keep out students of low standing in their high school work. Al- though registration has not started in the downtown schools it is estimated that the total enrollment of the uni- versity will be in excess of 10,000 stu- dents. NEW AMPU Cont. from 1:30 to 11 P.
