Reid of Western Carolina College has announced the preliminary enrollment figures for the fall quarter as 1,021 undergraduate students, including resident and day students. It is expected that several more will register before the closing date Tuesday. Of the above number, Reid said that 310 are freshmen and 70 are transfers from other colleges. i He said that this figure would ave been considerably higher had not been necessary to refuse a number of admissions because of lack of space. Boys' dormitories had been filled nee the closing of last school year, and all space in the girls' dormitories had been assigned for the past several weeks, prior to the opening of this term.

Although undergraduate registration is incomplete, he said, it is doubtful that the figure will reach the 1,054 required for a 100 per cent increase in that same four-year period. The present enrollment is slightly more than 17 per cent above last year's total of 870 undergraduate students.
