Entrance Woes In Registration
Registration went more smoothly this time than ever before, according to Henry Troetschel, assistant registrar.
“The machines have finally paid off,” he said. “It was much easier.”
In comparing summer registration this year with previous years Troetschel suggested several reasons for the increased efficiency of U-M’s new IBM equipment.
“Students are now familiar with the process,” he said, “and that helps."
But he felt that a new registration process which enables lost or mutilated IBM materials to be duplicated quickly was most important. The first plan, modeled on procedure used by the University of Florida, involved numbered kits made up in advance, and made it difficult to replace materials.
Registration personnel were also able to devote more time to the process since students’ grades had already been mailed.
Making up grade reports took two and a half weeks last year, he said, whereas reports were finished three days after grades were due this time. Increased efficiency in operating IBM equipment made the difference, Troetchel thought.
About 400 students whose mailing addresses were inaccurate, he said, may get their grades by calling at the registrar’s office.
Festival Ruled By Honor Grad
Mildred Lunaas, graduate cum laude this June, found her commencement activities interspersed with queenly duties when she was named Poinciana Queen during the city-sponsored Royal Poinciana festival recently.
Selected from names submitted by Florida universities, Mildred reigned over a variety of activities celebrating the Poinciana season in Miami, the only area in the U.S. where these flowers reach full bloom.
A member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, Mildred represented Florida last year in a similar festival in Peru.
“Miss Football of 1951.”
The only event of its kind, the Football Festival serves as kick-off for the fall season. Sponsored jointly by the Berkeley and Oakland, Cal., Jaycees, the festival includes representatives from 10 universities selected on the basis of geographical location, fame of the football team, and size and fame of the school. U-M was invited to participate for the first time this year.
Barbara will leave Miami Sept 16 for a round of festival activities including the queen’s coronation the 19th and ending with a dance on the 22nd. A senior, Barbara is a member of Stray Greeks, has been named Miss Radio of 1950 as well as appearing as calendar girl in Tempo magazine.
After her selection by a student committee including representatives of various campus organizations, Barbara was presented June 6 at a national Jaycee luncheon held during the convention here. Invitations to the girls participating were issued by Gov. Warren of California the following Friday.
ROTC Armory In Full Swing
Completed a month ago, the new $325,000 armory located on the University athletic field will go into full operation this summer, according to Lt. Col. Emmet L. O’Connor, senior Organized Reserve Corps instructor.
The University’s B company, now located at North campus, will move to the new building soon, he reported.
A battalion size plant, the building will accommodate five units, contains five orderly rooms, supply rooms, five classrooms, 1000-inch indoor target range, drill floor and offices.
Air and Army ROTC units will use the classrooms during daytime, Col. O’Connor said. Plans for the building’s use by University groups for dances and other social affairs have been cleared also, he said, but no details are available.
The ORC school is now in operation, and an amphibious truck company of the transportation corps is now training there, Col. O'Connor revealed. More units are expected to be stationed there in the near future.
Formal acceptance of the building by the government has jiot been made as yet.

Summer Registration Tops 4500 To Smash All Enrollment Figures
Summer Term Dorm Dwellers Set New High.
Dormitory registration for the summer session has hit an all-time high.
The 540 students that moved into the main campus dormitories represent a 20 per cent increase over 1950’s total, according to William H. Fisher, director of student housing. The first summer session last year drew 440 students into the dorms.
As usual, the boys outnumber the girls. Single male dorms will house 365, single female dorms will take 85. Ninety couples will occupy the three married students buildings on main campus.
With the expiration of the University’s lease on 20th Street housing, married couples from that area have moved to the main campus. The 20th Street development, which has housed U-M students and their families for the past five years, will be demolished to make room for MIAD expansion plans, Fisher said.
San Sabastian, Hernando and French Village (with one exception) dorms will be closed for the summer.
The last chance to beat the GI Bill deadline saw an influx of many older veterans. Fisher estimated that about 25 veterans, ranging between 40 and 50 years old made housing applications.
Probably the oldest dorm resident is a 54-year-old freshman majoring in engineering. He was given the sole berth in French Village.
‘The general condition of the dorms after checkout is improving every year,” Fisher said.
“But there still are instances where it seems that students finished eating and left for home, qot bothering to remove dishes from the tables, much less wash them. The boys in particular are the chief offenders.”

Some students have not yet cleared through the business office, he said, and so are not included in the count. Registration for both evening and day class divisions is still going on.
Previous record for summer enrollment was 4033, reached last year | when midsummer teacher training session convened. These sessions begin July 1.
The dramatic increase was in marked contrast to enrollment trends of many other universities, and unexpected here.
So many new students enrolled in Evening division courses that English 101 clinics had to be split four ways, with 111 students registered instead of an expected 35.
Although no breakdown of figures was available, it was almost certain that more new students had enrolled this summer than ever before, according to Henry Troetchel, assistant registrar.
The promised influx of GI students getting in before the VA deadline. July 25. was felt mostly in evening division courses, Troet-chel said. In that division, veteran enrollment increased from 415 to 789. while non-vets increased by only 71 students.
The number of veterans registered for day classes, however, decreased. Compared to 2099 enrolled last year at this time, new figures show a drop of 201 vet students, whereas non-vet figures increased from 1329 to 1553.
Selective service regulations, Troetschel felt, were responsible for the continued high enrollment of non-veteran students.
I by figures released on evening classes. Dean of the Evening division j Dan Steinhoff reported processing 11120 students although the business office had cleared only 1050 as the Hurricane went to press.
Figures on Law school enrollment were set at 695, with figures incomplete as yet, easily surpassing last year’s record of 646.
An extra summer session in law was announced by Dean Russell A. Rusco. This will enable new law students to beat the July 25 deadline to complete their course within the three year time limit.
This new session will run four weeks, from Aug. 15 to Sept. 20, and offer students two credit hours. Normally only one summer law session is offered, lasting eight weeks, but plans for two sessions each summer in the future have been made.
Ice Truck Driver To Face Inquiry
The driver of an ice truck which had traveled the fog-bound Homestead road just before two U-M freshmen were fatally injured there on May 25 has been summoned to appear at an inquest this week.
Peace Justice Vernon Turner said that Vernon Jackson of Homestead, who returned Monday from a vacation in Louisiana, may shed new light on the accident that tbok the lives of two Lambda Chi Alpha pledges, Thomas E. Kleppner and Fred Evens, Jr.
Largest Craft Thus Far
19-Foot Sailboat Floated On Student Club Lake
The largest boat ever floated on the Student Club lake, a 19-ft. Lightning class sailboat belonging to the University sailing class, may soon be used to teech students sailing here on campus, according to Vernon Cordry, U-M sailing instructor.
If students like the idea, he says, two more of the University’s six sailing craft may be moved up from Matheson Hamrnock to take care of the class.
In a trial run on the lake last week, Cordry demonstrated the safety and maneuverability of the boats for Dan Steinhoff, Jr., dean of the Evening division. Cordry’s summer course, sailing H100, will come under the Evening division’s “Hobby Center” listings and will not earn credits, as regular session courses do. Anyone may enroll, however, paying $30 for six weeks instruction.
Plans for a sailing club this summer have also been made, he says. Students who already know how to sail may join for a $7 fee, which will entitle them to use the boats any time they are not in use by the class. Interested students may contact Cordry in Room 521.
Sailing instruction is perfectly safe, he says. The class has never had a boat turn over. During the summer months Cordry hopes to get both novices and course graduates to sail more often for fun.
