The number of juniors and sophomores is about even with the senior class class being much smaller. Decreased enrollment may be attributed to the tightening draft regulations, lack of junior and senior courses, summer heat, and the increasing number of high school students entering the armed services or some reserve immed iately upon graduation. Enrollees of freshmen are pre dominately those taking engineers ing with a few taking agriculture, architecture, and liberal arts with the seniors mostly taking Veter inary Medicine except for a few men not qualified for the armed services taking other courses. —FOOTBALL— (Continued iiom page 1) November 4 with the University of Arkansas.

Guion, president of board of di rectors at one time and built in 1918, it is used for various activi ties such as Town Hall, a picture show, and stage shows. Located at the end of Military Walk opposite from Sbisa Mess Hall, this is an impressive edifice constructed of white stone with six massive columns towering in the air and seats about two thousand people. Through its portals pass the graduates of A. and M. for Commencement exercises, and rightfully inscribed on the cornice are these words: “Ignorance is the chrse of God; knowledge the wing with which we fly to Heav en.” Town Hall is a function of the College Student Activities office. Through its facilities many celebri ties are brought to the campus to perform before student audiences. Among those who have been here are such personalities as Jessica Dragonette, Dunninger, Frances- catti, Iturbi, Carmen Amaya, Bidu Sayao, and Alec Templeton. Sea son tickets are sold to students at far below cost. At the present time a picture runs a regular schedule of shows every ^day and night including a Saturday night preview at ten o’clock. Special features are added to the scheduled program for the students’ enjoyment. Guion Hall is also used for meetings requiring large attendance such as student assemblies. Summer Plans Call For More Free Shows Tentative plans for the Summer Town Hall entertainment have been announced by L. M. Collins, man ager of the Student Activities of fice of the college. According to Mr. Collins two programs are scheduled to be presented in Kyle Field, one in July and another in August. These programs will be an nounced at a later date, it was stated. Last year these free summer Town Hall programs proved to be popular items in the campus en tertainment for the summer and met with high acclaim by those who attended them. —HIGHLIGHTS— (Continued from Page 6) birthday. A sudden ring of the telephone and his birthday plans became strictly secondary. He re ports that he drove the distance of 36 Chicago blocks, from his apartment to the Merchandise Mart, in a bit under six minutes. Schoenfeld, busy from 1:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. on June 6, asked his secretary to blow out the candles on a birthday cake pre sented by friends and fellow em ployees. * * * Malcolm Claire, conductor of a children’s program on Station WENR, states that his June 6 story—“The Life of Napoleon”— (it closely resembles Hitler’s end Mussolini’s unfinished bios) couldnt’ have been timed with more precise accuracy. Claire had sched uled this fifteen-minute story six weeks in advance of June 6— the date marking the beginning of the end for Adolf and Benito. * * * Lee Walters, Blue announcer whose voice relayed over WENR the momentous invasion news at least two minutes before any other Chicago station carried it, is walk ing around with “D-Day Walters” as his new nickname. He reported for work at 9:00 p.m. June 5, worked straight through until 9:00 a.m., June 6. Grabbing him self some food for thought along with two hours of shuteye 4 he then was sent out to cover two special D-Day religious programs made by the Blue in Chicago. He com pleted his June 6 announcing schedule at 11:00 p.m. # *• * * Gene Rouse, supervisor of news and special features for the Blue’s Central Division, is wondering if there is any such item as sleep. He arrived home late the night of June 5, had just chucked himself in bed, was aroused by the news, left his Wilmette home for the Blue news room, and has been in that location supervising the net work’s complete news coverage services for nearly forty-eight con secutive hours. * *■ * * Ed Horstman, chief engineer for the Blue’s Central Division, was the cause for the network’s re ception lobby having nearly an unbroken stream of traffic on D- Day. He installed a loud-speaker in the lobby where visitors could obtain the latest news bulletins as they were reported by the Blue’s ace commentators. Word that the latest news could be heard on the nineteenth floor of the Merchan dise Mart spread rapidly and dur ing the course of the day, hun dreds of people kept abreast with the last-minute happenings. Praises came to Horstman from nearly everyone with the exception of the Mart’s elevator operators. They had more “ups n,nd downs” for the Blue on June 16 than on any day since the web separated from NBC. Your Name Engraved Free! # You boys who have purchased K. & E.
