Record Number Enrolls At A&M For Long, Hot Summer Session
- ^ ^ , >
REGISTRATION STARTS WITH LONG LINES
Texas A&M officials ex
pect a record to be set today
when the last student files
through registration lines in
the Richard Coke Building.
The all-time summer high
enrollment of 4,327 — re
corded last summer — may
be exceeded by more than 600,
according to university offi
cials. Today is the last day
of registration for the first
summer session.
The high enrollment was
evidenced by the scarcity of
housing reflected in a spot
check of community realtors.
The first session ends July
15, with the second term
starting July 18 and running
through August 26.
Registration began Mon
day in the Sbisa Dining Hall.
The new enrollment record re
flects a trend toward higher
enrollment which leads offi
cials to expect a sizable in
crease for the fall term.
THEN THERE IS THE WAITING
AND EVERYBODY GETS INTO THE ACT.

Examination, Orientation, Registration
Class Of ’70 Receives
Red Carpet Treatment
“Red carpet” treatment given
Texas A&M incoming freshmen in
summer conferences is an all-uni
versity team effort to close the
gap between high school and col
lege.
Summer conferences beginning
today package orientation, test
ing, dean consultation and hous
ing to eliminate registration
chores and lines for the new stu
dent next fall.
New freshmen are given their
choice of 18 two-day conferences
through the summer. Parents are
invited for special sessions.
“The new student committee is
very enthusiastic over prepara
tions for this summer,” comment
ed Auston Kerley, committee
chairman. “We have more reser
vations for this summer than the
two previous.”
Student services include Col
lege Entrance Examination Board
placement test, special course
placement, course planning, dor
mitory assignment and others.
Housekeeping requirements in
clude individual uniform fitting,
laundry marks, identification pho
tographs, books purchase or lay
away and payment of fees.
“In this way, the student is not
lost in the crowd,” Kerley ex
plained. “Attendance at each con
ference is 150 and care is taken
to insure he doesn’t have to stand
in line.”
“The package job provides op
portunity for individual attention
and allows the university to rec
ognize individual problems, de
sires and questions,” A&M’s
Counseling and Testing Center
director said.
The first day of each confer
ence is taken by tests, selection
of non-compulsory ROTC train
ing and branch, dormitory and
room assignment and clothing
measurement. Uniforms are fit
ted and stored for student pickup
at specified times in September.
First night group interpreta
tion of tests, which parents may
attend, explain what tests meas
ure and what students may expect
to ascertain from them. Degree
credit by examination allows the
appropriately prepared student to
achieve credit for a course, elimi
nating it in the fall.
“We point out to him that he
may still take the course for a
better grade,” Kerley said.
Parent orientation is held at 10
a.m. in the Memorial Student
Center and a special meeting dur-
Day Students Get
New Parking Lots
Additional parking lots have
been made available to day stu
dents, according to Ed Powell,

campus, and the lot behind Milner
Hall, located between the main
plant of the college laundry and

members.
ing the night session explains col
lege jargon, grade point ratio,
hours carried, etc.
Academic deans take over at 8
a.m. the second day for individual
student course planning. Fresh
men then pre-register. Purchase
of books to take advantage of
second-hand prices is suggested.
“If we buy his books now, he
might read some before Septem
ber,” one father pointed out.
Student body organization and
operation plus what is expected
of new students is explained to
freshman and parents.
“When parents get a ‘gripe let
ter,’ they are acquainted with new
student obligations and have a
personal picture of the situation,”
Kerley noted.
“We adopt a common sense at
titude and want to be fair,” he
went on. “Students living long
distances from the campus may
attend a special conference Sept.
12-13.”
Summer conference team effort
is closely coordinated through
deans, housing, military science,
registrar and counseling and test
ing departments.
“Easing freshmen across the
abyss from high school to college
is accomplished by Allen Madeley
of housing, Col. D. L. Baker, Bob
Gleason of the registrar’s office,
Wayne Stark of the MSC, Bennie
Zinn of student affairs and the
deans,” Kerley stated.
They spread a thick carpet for
A&M’s new students.
