726 Students Arrive
Walls: IBM
To Ease Load
More than 700 students will
crowd the campus today, many
for the first time. Ready to
meet the influx are the new reg
istrar, Herbert A. Walls, Jr.,
and his office staff. Registrar
Walls said the one- day ordeal
should be less irksome for stu
dents because of increased use of
IBM.
There are fewer forms to fill
out but plenty of activities, said
Walls. The day begins at 8 a. m.
with freshmen filing into Burden
Hall for orientation.
Leaving Burden Hall, they will
move on to the various stations
in the graduate school building
for a tightly- scheduled registra
tion procedure.
According to Walls, the office
anticipates over 200 dental stu
dents and 190 medical students on
the Loma Linda campus. There
will be some 40 students in den
tal hygiene, 20 in occupational
therapy, 80 in physical therapy,
100 in nursing, 90 in the grad
uate school and six who will
study medical records and admin
istration.
Refreshments Follow
Members of alumni organiza
tions will help faculty and other
staff members in assisting the
students from one station to the
other.
After the noon break, students
returning to Loma Linda will
flock into the graduate school
building for their job of regis
tering for a new school year..
At 4: 30 p. m., the administration
will provide games and refresh
ments on the recreation field west
of the swimming pool.
Dean Maxine Atteberry, School
of Nursing, will umpire a faculty
ball game. New students will
then play against old students.
Swimming pool and tennis courts
will be open.
Professor Charles E. Winter,
activities committee chairman,
has promised 125 cold water
melons after the games. He
said there will be several pri
zes donated by local merchants.
Numbered tickets for the door
prizes will be handed out along
the stations during today's reg
istration.

Special Trustee
Meeting On WM
THE UNIVERSITY TRUSTEES WILL MEET THIS WEEK
to discuss further plans for White Memorial Hospital, according to
President Godfrey T. Anderson. He said the special meeting was
called by the board chairman, Maynard V. Campbell, general Con
ference executive vice president, and will be in Dayton, Friday of
Dr. Anderson said the meeting was called following a meeting in
Los Angeles of the newly appointed committee. Its duty was to de
velop a comprehensive plan for the future role of White Memorial
Hospital. This appointment cam e after the Trustees had issued a
resolution calling for a comprehensive plan.
A number of available members met last week and after some
discussion arrived at the conclusion that a special meeting of the
Trustees must furnish guide lines for any further planning.
An opportunity for such a special meeting was seen when it was
announced that a meeting of conference presidents would take place
in Dayton, Ohio, at Kettering Hospital. With the majority of the
Trustees attending that meeting, a special board was easily ar
ranged, said President Anderson.
NEXT ISSUE OF SCOPE will carry a report of the meeting if the
Trustees should arrive at any conclusion and the report will reach
this publication not later than Sunday, September 22.
Dean Clark:
Very Choice
As new students surge through
the corridors of the administra
tion building today, they may
meet the man who opened the
University's door to them. He
is Dean of Students, Walter B.
Clark. " These are very choice
students," he says in recollec
tion of a long trip to the college
campuses where he found them.
Dean Clark returned to Loma
Linda University with a very
select list of " university hope
fuls" after two trips to eleven
colleges during 1962 and 1963.
He met many more than those
finally accepted.
82 Medical Students
" It is anticipated," said Dean
Clark, " that we will accept ap
proximately the same number of
freshmen students as we did last
year. In the School of Medicine
we had been accepting 96 fresh
men. But last year, due to con
solidation plans, we limited the
class to 82 students. We expect
to hold to this figure."
an the School of Nursing,"
said the dean, " the average num
ber is 56. The number varies,
but there will be roughly 60
freshmen." He said the Univer
sity has a very flexible program
in nursing and can therefore
adjust itself to changes in class
sizes.
This is also seen in physical
therapy, where there will be some
40 freshmen. Dental Hygiene will
accept 22 students, " which is
our present capacity," said Dean
Clark.
He felt that there should be more
students in occupational therapy
where ten are expected this year,
and explained that occupational
therapy is a new field, just begin
ning to grow.
Another new curriculum this
year is that of medical records,
which will begin with eight fresh-
