Here is why the university is years ahead of itself, Figures Altered “Careful statistical surveys made prior to the war indicated that we would have an enrollment of some 10,000 students by 1955,” Herman B Wells, university president, said today, “For a long time we have charted the growth of the school and our calculations proved ‘to be accurate,” he said. “With the war, and the G. I. bill of right$, all figures became obsoletq. The ex-seivices man's opportunity for education naturally altered the figures.” Unlike many college and university heads, Mr, Wells takes an optimistic view of the future. He does not feel that this js a temporary boom, “I look for Indiana university to increase another 10 per cent next year,” he said. “The peak on vet-, eran enrollment, barring a depression, will be reached in 1951. Then registration figures will continue on a plateau. Any decline in numbers will be comparatively insignificant.” ‘Enters New Era
This indicates to Mr, Wells that higher education is entering a hew era. That enrollments will continue high he contributes to the following: ks ONE.

students, will be ready for college in the next 15 to 20 years. FOUR: Higher education has proven to the U. 8. military forces and foreign ‘countries that it de« velops national leadership and unity, FIVE: Collegiate training is daily becoming the common heritage of greater numbers and is being accepted as part of the American way of life. The G. IL bill, Mr. Wells believes, is something of an experiment and within a few years similar measures will be enacted on either a federal or a state level for all high school graduates.
Fight Housing Problem -
Meanwhile university officials fight the housing problem. All stu-
dents have roofs over their heads,
but almost every head has been a headache, A year ago the university had * space in its own quarters for 385 men and 640 women, This fall Mrs. Ralph Nelson, director of halls of residence, had to find space for 6000. The number includes wives and children of veterans, To ‘care for the huge number, 74 a buildings have been, or are being, erected. These include a few per manent structures and many former army barracks. Also on campus are 368 trailer units. But all the housing is not complete and every day is moving day, Mrs. Nelson estimates that every perso will be in their assigned space by mid-November, Living in Gym Until then hundreds upon hundreds are living in the university high school gymnasium, the regular gymnasium, the union and student buildings, in lounges of regular buildings, in the trustee's room of the administration building and in town. . v Such is the situation on the Indiana university campus. Classes were delayed. three weeks .in start- - ing so that all persons could be housed when school opened. Today faculty and students face
