And what jiappened this summer
after more than 1,000 students paid
their registration fees here. Why,
quite a loir First came one of these
mixer affairs, then an informal, and
through tat, all was a spirited all-school
recreational program. Next
came thfc Drama Club's production,
the pla^f, "The Pigeon", which won
both praise and applause from Vi­king
Audiences. But the capping
clima* of the summertide was the
big excursion, when the Vikings fol­lowed
the birds to Victoria, British
Solpmbia, the city of sunshine and
flo/wers. Most of them got back to
ade the aeronaut, Carl Durr make a
big hop in his thyngemocopter. He
made it and then school closed. But
we. see Carl back in school this
quarter.'

Registration will exceed 800 stu­dents,
it was announced at the bus­iness
office late yesterday. Heavy
freshman enrollment, not completed
until yesterday afternoon, combined
with a heavier influx of upper class­men
than was .anticipated, brought
the registration total more than 100
above faculty expectations, Presi­dent
C. H. Fisher stated. •
The increase over last year's total
of 769 was-evident on the first day,
when upper classmen were regis­tered,
President Fisher said.
No special reason can be given for
the increase, according to school of­ficials,
as the general experience
this autumn has been .a decreasing,
rather than increasing, registration
in colleges. While the University of
Washington recorded its record en­rollment
in the history of the school
(reporting about- 7,500 students) the
Cheney Normal school dropped.
Other institutions whose registration
totals were received:. here also
showed corresponding decreases.
Pre-registration indications, here,
pointed to 700 students, President
Fisher said. Several cancellations
for reservations at Edens Hall were
received, reflecting the business de-pressiph
whidli" is declared the' cause
for the decrease in student bodies of
other schools.
With this depression probably
keeping many students from the
Normal who would otherwise attend
this quarter, President Fisher de­clared
it is likely that the winter
many prospective students check
quarter will show an increased en­rollment
over the current term, as
their finances and find themselves
able to go to school.
Another circumstance, which adds
to the strangeness of the heavy reg­istration,
is the present over-supply
of teachers in the state, with nearly
1,000 graduate instructors now out
of employment.
A third factor, which was expect­ed
to deter many students from en­tering
this year, was the addition of
another quarter's work for diplo­mas,
makiiig a total of seven quar­ters
required for graduation.- Ihis
is the first increase in graduation
requirements made since 1926, when
the two-year course was established.,
and marks:the beginning of a stead­ily
increasing graduation require­ment.
This will reach a basic three
year minimum by .the fail of 1932,
one quarter's work to be added each
year. '•%
Late registration of freshmen pre­vented

Nora B. Cummins, hut it was esti­mated
at' that office yesterday that
the total will exceed 800, with near­ly
250 of these students, men. There
Greetings to Men: Welcome,
Frosh, to the Stale Normal school
at Bellingham. Have you deter­mined
just WHY you are here?
Welcome, upper-classmen. Glad to
see you again. You must be making
good. Congratulations.
Suggestions: Come in. Lei us
gel acquainted. Maybe We can be
of assistance to you.
Caution: Please do not ask per­sonal
favors, not in harmony with
the policies and regulations of .ihe
school... This may save both you
and me some embarrassment, j

As the result of the burglaryi of
the registration returns early-last
Tuesday morning, President C. H.
Fisher stated, "The Normal will
lose $99.71 because the cash loss was
insured for only $2,000.00 and the
cash Stolen amounted to $,2099.71."
•Students were requested by Pres­ident
Fisher to stop payment on all
checks they payed to the school, at
their banks immediately and report
to the business office the number of
their check, the amount, the name
of the bank drawn on and to whom
payable. It is expected that the re­maining
few students will complete
this task by four, o'clock today.
"It would be wise for students to
keep in touch with their banks,"
said President Fisher, "and as sport
as the check has gone through the
bank, to return it to the school".
Stolen CneckVNel^li&pie
Checks, and cash amounting toi
$6,025.04 were taken from. the.
school vault by the \ three armed
bandits who bound and gauged
Charles Morgan, night watchman,
about 4:30 a. m., Tuesday. The
checks were made out in blank
form for the most part and none
were stamped and are therefore.ne-'
gotiable. '
. Bellingham police. have been'
working on the theory that the ban­dits
were the same as those wW
robbed the Walla Walla college safe
of $230.00 on September 25,. and!
who attempted' to rob the Mount
Baker theater. It was pointed, out
by the officers, that the method of
[ binding the watchman, the same
number of attackers and the meth­od
of entering the buildings were
the same in all the cases. v
Detectives are confident that Bel-f
