MSU PICTURE OF THE WEEK -- Montana State University at Missoula joins the national parade of schools chalking up record enrollments this fall as indicated in this picture of freshmen taking aptitude tests in the Field House during orientation week. When final registration figures for the entire week are tallied by the University's IBM machines, enrollment is expected to stand at the highest mark in recent years. MSU dormitories are already brimming over and the influx predicted for the next few years, when the waves of "war babies" hits the campus in force, is expected to strain campus living and classroom facilities to the bursting point.
