TO BREAK ENROLLMENT RECORDS Twenty-live Hundred Will Receive Training at State College This Year, According to Prediction That 2500 young men and young women will receive training along various lines at the State College of Washington at one time during the school year opening Sept. 30 was the prediction of Prof. Herbert Kim brough, dean of the school of music and line arts. made before the meeting of the chamber of commerce Tuesday. Prof. Kimbrough's figures included 600 detachment soldiers, who will arrive October 16, 200 band musicians, who are expected in the near future, 1200 students, who will become members of the students' army training corps through volun tary induction, and upwards of 500 regular students. Under the present plans of the War Department a proportionate share of the 20-year-old members of the S. A. T. C. will be withdrawn from the institution in January, after three months training; a proportion ate part of those 19 years old will be withdrawn in April, while the 18 --year-old soldiers who do good work will remain in college until its close. It is expected, however, that upon the withdrawal of these groups, oth ers will be sent to take their places, thus keeping tho enrollment at or close to the 2500 estimate through out the school year. The problem of supplying beds or cots for the members of the S. A. T. c. until the equipment is received from the War Department is bother ing college officials at present, but ways and means of taking care of the student-soldiers will be devised. The government will provide each mem ber of the corps with a cot and three blankets, but it is expected that these will not be received for several weeks after college opens. It will be im possible, under army regulations, to requisition the equipment before the men are officially examined and In ducted Into the Eervlce, so that the full requirements may be known, and then the cots and blankets must come from San Francisco, requiring con siderable time. .The members of the corps will be housed, as far as possible, in groups. and It is, probable that fraternity houses and other large structures will be pressed into service for this purpose. The college has this week Issued full instructions to high school graduates concerning the Students' Army Training Corps, and any In formation desired may be obtained by addressing the military informa tion bureau. State College of Wash ington, Pullman. Dr. and Mrs. T. Allison Ball are the parents of an 1 1-pound baby boy, born Sunday evening.
