Jl ty is that" which paa 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.
