Students Enroll
from Egypt, Iraq
Egypt and Iraq will be represented in the student body at Central this spring. The expected enrollment of a student from each of
these countries was announced last
week by Dean George Lauer.
Miss Azia I. Nathan and her
brother have both sent in applications for enrollment from Bagdad,
Iraq. Miss Nathan is now enroute
here and intends to specialize in
the study of mathematics with a
view to better preparing herself to
teach that subject. As no further
information has been received from
her brother, it is thought he does
not intend to enroll this semester.
A Bachelor of Arts degree in music will be the goal of Miss Marguerite N. Kasnasralla of Heleapo-
lis, Cairo,  Egypt when she starts
her studies here next semester.
Latest word received from Miss
Kasnasralla, by the personnel office, revealed she has encountered
transportation difficulties that may
delay her arrival until February 11.

ABC Sponsors
Rummage Sale
Yes, We have a problem. But dont
think a counselor could solve it,
or it doesn't seem quite the thing
to have in a lonely hearts column.
It just doesn't seem to have any
category: You see, we want to
scrape up some money. We thought
of robbing a bank, but heard that
people were sent to some island
for less than that. We might beg,
but that wouldn't seem'quite right.
"Idea"—We will appeal to our fellow colleagues. "Courage"—Now
that you have been in college, at
least one semester, and with the
new semester just over the hill, why
not start the new semester out
right? Well, it's like this. Remember that skirt or sweater you
brought just in case you might
want to wear it? Or you might be
able to deal it off on a roommate.
Will just dig them all out, make a
neat little bundle and tag it "Apple
Blossom Rummage Sale."

Introduce New
EnrollmentForms
Final registration for the Spring
semester of 1947 will officially begin on Tuesday February 11, at

floor of Warriner hall.
Students, who have completed
preliminary registration, have their
guide books up to date, and have
their matriculation cards with
them, will be given instructions and
sent to room 355 Warriner Hall
where they will receive a copy of
the new, registration form and directions for further registration,
,; The new registration form will
be welcomed by all Centralites who
have sweated over the old complicated manner of taking a dozen
cards in each hand, trying to find
a place to fill them out and then
running all qver the campus trying
to distribute them to their proper
destinations.
Under the new system the student registering will be given one
large form which he may fill out
anywhere in the building. He will
then proceed to the library where
he will leave a portion of the forn?.
.The, remainder of the form will be
taken to the Personnel office, after
the customary visit to the business
office.
Upon presentation of the remainder of the form to the personnel
.office, the .student will be given a
class card' for each of the classes
he intends to take. He will then
fill out these' cards, at any time before the first meeting of the class
when he -will present the proper
card to the instructor of each class
he has enrolled in.
Cave Dwellers Quit Gym
for Life in Barracks
by Jim Brisbois  .
Just as the period of the "roaring twenties" passed into oblivion,
so has the day of Central's cave
dwellers. The boys of the Underground Academy have moved to the
upper strata. For many it was the
first glimpse they had had of daylight since the big rush of last September when they moved from
Sweeney's Shanty to the hole under
the gym.
Reliable sources had claimed that
many of the cave dwellers would
claim squatters rights and refuse
to move. Observers who reported
they had seen several of the cavemen returning late at night carry
ing quite a load (of supplies, that
is) seemed to substantiate these
claims. However, when moving day
arrived, the bat-men all grabbed
their gear and moved as scheduled.
Memories will be strong of the
sweet aroma of chlorine gently
searing the lungs in the middle of
the night. Or the chlorinakir deciding to do a little chlorinating
about 4 a.m. A soft gentle machine
is the chlorinator; it hums a little
tune, like a dozen Thunderbolts
changing prop-pitch.
Nevertheless the men have moved
and are happily settled in their
new homes and rapidly becoming
adjusted to fresh air and sunlight.

Extension Classes
Prove Popular
Despite Central's record-breaking
enrollment of the Fall semester, it
seems that the professors have tak-
en time out for many out-of-town,
classes.
The Extension department reports that there have been 21 extension classes with an approximate enrollment of 850 students.
Of the various classes that were
taught, education seems to be the
leading subject. There were ten
classes taught in that field. Some-
of the others included; English,
speech, sociology, history, art, agriculture, psychology, industrial arts,
