Once again it is my pleasure to extend my welcome ,to both the new i students and those returning. This semester should prove to be the big step in our efforts to send Troy to I even greater heights.

The burden clearly rests where that spirit originates, with each one of you stu-| dents.
I hope that I may have the opportunity to become better acquaint-
j ed with all of you this semester, and since it is my desire to keep alive the friendly spirit that has always been associated with SC, I am sure that, together, we can go far in raising and upholding the traditions ! of this university.
Sincerely.
BILL ARMBRUSTER.

University To Set All-time Enrollment Record With 12,000 Students on Roster
Enlarging Bowl Contemplated By Association
Strutt Reveals Aim To Add 20,000 Seats During 1946
PASADENA, Cal., Feb. 27.—OLE)— The Rose Bowl, home of the annual New Year’s day Rose Bowl football game, will be enlarged by 20,000 seats to make it the largest stadium in the country, possibly by next Jan. 1, it was revealed tonight.
Charles A. Strutt, president of tlie Tournament of Roses Assn., said surveys would be made to determine whether to deepen the bowl and put the seats on the bottom, or
whether to add them to the rim.
The enlargement would give the bowl a capacity of 116,CGJT’ By installing temporary bleachers, the present capacity of 86,000 was increased to 94,000 for recent New Year’s day games.
Strutt said the Tournament Association, which built the bowl and deeded it .to the city of Pasadena, would construct the enlargement in the same way, paying out of game proceeds.
“If we discover that costs are too far out of line this year,” he said, “we will probably put off the enlargement for another year or two, but we are going ahead with it for sure.
“We had to send back more than $300,000 to people who wanted tickets to this year’s game after the bowl was sold out, so it’s easy to see the added seating will pay for itself.”
New Schedule Changes Listed
Changes and additions for the spring term schedule will be found on page 3 of today’s Trojan. All students are requested to note these changes before filling out their tentative study programs. Students who are enrolling for the first time in Man and Civilization are especially urged to note the changes in the general studies section.

Increased Text Shortage Hits SC Bookstore
Lack of Mill Paper Approaches Critical Stage—McNamara
Textbooks have joined the hard to-get items along with nylons, butter, apartments, and new cars, ■pie University Bookstore is faced with the same problem that bookstores all over .the country are contending with.
The general paper shortage of all mills is reflected in greatly decreased inventories of textbooks on the part of all book publishers, according to Dan McNamara, manager of the University Bookstore.
“The situation now is undoubtedly the most critical, in the light of lowered textbook Inventories, of any other time in history,” said Mr. McNamara.
“Continued checking on the part of the Bookstore has met with questionable promises which just in the last few days have been turning .to rejection of titles needed for this particular opening,” continued McNamara.
He listed the major factors behind the attendant shortage as being the inability of publishers to procure machinery or replacements so that they can function in full capacity as they have done in the past.
The final factor is the unprecent-ed large enrollments in colleges and universities throughout the country which in many cases are double the normal, and have naturally multiplied the demand against the already curtailed supply sources.
