classes, it was revealed by registration released Tuesday by Raymond D. Meade, registrar.
Senior class enrollment, largest in Tech history, leads with a total of 1,025 followed by the
junior class with 868. Sophomores and freshmen lag with 495 and 457 respectively.

Heavy veteran enrollment in
1946 accounts for the bulge in up—
perclass size, according to Meade.
Pent—up educationaldemands rock-
eted registration to capacity levels.
The group which caused the big»
gest impact in 1946 now comprises
the senior class.

Other registration figures re-
leased are: Day undergraduate en-
rollment, 2,890; graduate day, 215;
total clay, 3,105; evening total,
3,879; total school, day and eve—
hing, 6,984.

Fred Travis, director of admis—
sions, reports that 314 new stu«
dents have been admitted. The

 

 

entering students were composed
of 142 first term freshmen and 172
advanced students.

Fifth term admits for junior col-
leges reached 72. Fifty-seven of
the incoming freshmen enrolled at
the Institute of Design. /

The moving up of the large vet;
eran classes has swelled the sire
of the graduate school. Day and
e v e n in g graduate registration
showed an increase of 77.

Day undergraduate registration
has dropped 456 this year. This
pares enrollment down to the pro—
posed normal of 3,000 full—time day

 

students. Evening enrollment is
running behind last year but indi-
cations are that registration will
hold its own with last year’s figure
exceptatthe graduate level where

,an increase is expected.

The size of junior and senior
classes, plus the admission of a
big fifth-term group, poses many
administrative and teaching prob
lems, faculty sources say. They
add that the overloalance also ac—
counts in part for the business-like
character of the student body and
the purported indifference towards
extra-curricular activities.

Behind the facade of meter-dials and switches to be found in
an air-conditioned room on the second floor, Main building, lies a
complicated maze of electrical apparatus whose sole function is
to implement a process well-known to engineering students.

Here is located the A-C Network
Calculator, a device to facilitate
the solution of difficult electrical
and physical systems by the proc~
ass of substitution. This installa-
tion, valued at over $100,000, is
designed so that a measureable
electrical equivalent circuit can be
set up to represent the conditions
of the problem under study.

The need for such calculators
became apparent as the power
systems of the nation grew from
local direct current networks to
large complex alternating cur-
rent systems spanning huge gem
graphic areas. However, indivi-
dual enterprises could not use
expensive equipment of this na~
ture throughout the your and
thus the cost to any one firm
would have been prohibitive. This
indicated the advisability of a
cooperative ownership of one cul—
culator.

Furthermore, the time required
to assemble pertinent data on the
problem under consideration is
much longer than that actually
needed for the calculator operation
itself. Thus many companies found

 

 

it expedient to lease time on a cal-
culator for a minimum of time after
they had gathered the necessaryin~
formation. So it was that a central
agency was needed to coordinate
the use of a calculator shared by
many groups.

Illinois Tech was the logical site
for the calculator because of its
central location, proximity to dis~
trict offices of many manufacturers
and availability of technical per-
sonnel for consultation. Eighteen
organizations now share the calcu—
lator which was installed in June,
1945.

The study of electrical tram.
mission systems is effected by
actual construction in the calcu~
lator of a miniature network
under study. By using a single
phase to represent three phases
and a higher than normal fre-
quency, the size and complexity
of the installation is reduced
somewhat.

The IIT Network Calculator is a
valuable time-saver in the solving
of complex problems whose solu—
tions might otherwise be pro-
hibitively costly.

THIS may look like your roommate, but don‘t be deceived.
The Schmo in this picture has lots more brains. He has the
Wildroot Cream-Oil concession in a side Show. And inci-
dentally, if you’d like to ape men who get ahead, with women.
of course, start grooming your dome with Wildroot Cream-
Oil. It’s the non-alcoholic hair tonic containing soothing

Lanolin. Grooms you hair neatly and naturally without
that plastered‘down look. Relieves annoying dryness and
removes embarrassing loose dandruff. Helps you pass the
Finger-Nail Test. Get a tube or bottle of Wildx'oot Cream»0il
hair tonic at your drug counter today. Don’t swipe your
roommate’s . . . it may be unsanitary. Besides, he’s liable to
grunt and growl if you do. And next time you visit your bar—
ber, have him give you a professional application.
