Only 213 Sign in At Dull Session

Mostly Women Register at Summer School Proceedings

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

It was a disappointing day for the venders yesterday as but 213 persons signed up for the Summer School sessions yesterday in Memorial Hall. During the six hours, from 9 o'clock to 4 o'clock, when the doors were opened, men and women straggled in, filled out the blanks and cards, and as unconcernedly strolled out again.

However, next door in Sanders Theatre, more activity could be observed. On the stage a host of busy workers were filing, cutting, and checking the numerous course cards, and other registration data, and will be today and tomorrow.

Salesmen Give Up

By noontime, the salesman outside Mem Hall had practically given up in disgust, and wiled away the hours between the occasional customers by chatting with the many pulchritudinous Dean's secretaries and Bursar's Office beauties working inside.

The whole of the Summer School offices was temporarily moved into Mem Hall for the registration proceedings, and a battery of telephones and secretaries was in evidence in one corner of the barn, while an information table held pamphlets ranging from the care of animals in air raids to complete calendars of the extra-curricular activities in Summer School, free for the taking was operated in the "lobby."

Most of the registrants had little or no trouble with the complicated procedure, and when the bells rang 4 o'clock, there was no one left seated before the bright red blotters.

ARP Sirens Sound

The few Harvard-students-to-be registering in Memorial Hall were temporarily interrupted early in the afternoon yesterday when the city of Cambridge tested its air raid warning mechanism, which is located on the top of Widener Library. After many attempts during the spring and winter to find a suitable place for the horn, which can be used as a public speaking system as well as a siren, authorities settled on Widener as the best spot in the vicinity, and have held several tests since it was installed.
