More than two-thirds of this sem— ester’s students are veterans, said Ivan Hill, director of admissions, and for the first time, the backlog of former students has been absorbed. Of the 6300, almost 3000 are regis— tered in the undergraduate day school. Graduate school in the eve- ning division accounted for 340 of the remainder while 2900 students enrolled in the undergraduate school of the evening division. Seven hundred students are now in the day school who were not in attendance last semester. This num- ber includes both new freshmen at UT for the first tinie and former students returning, in most cases, President’s Messoge . . .
