SMC Enrolls 1312

Clasics began Jan. 12 for the second semester with a record second semester enrollment of 1312.

First semester enrollment was I4l4, indicating that the school took its cus- tomary enrollment drop between semes- ters. Thirty of those who dropped at the end of the first semester were sen- iors who had completed graduation recjuirements.

Of the total registered for second semester, 1284 arc students studying on the Collegedale campus, and 28 are on the Orlando campus.

New Shop to Open

A new store, TTie Campus Shop, will open at the College Plaza near the end of April, according to Mrs. Warren Hammond, who will manage it. She is currently employed by the Mercantile.

The Campus Shop will (Kcupy the vacant space left by the Mcnantile which will be relocated in the old mar- ket building.

The new store will be geared to giv- ing better service to students than the Mercantile is able to supply. No appli- ances or hardware merchandise will be sold, but there will be a larger supply of source books for every department.

Open house for the new $260,000 home economics center at SMC is set for April 10 to 13. The total cost in- cludes equipment and furnishings.

Special guests expected to be on cam- pus at that time are academy seniors visiting for College Days, Tennessee home economics administrators, and the SMC Board of Trustees.

Located on the site of the former Collegedale Academy building, the home economics center is a two-story edifice of brick, partly surrounded by a low stone wall, and set off by a modern entryway, featuring a diamond-shaped tapered column.

In fact, modern is the word as far as interior decor of the center is concerned, from the bright reds, purples and greens in the color scheme to the scientifically designed foods preparation laboratory and modern equipment.

The home economics center has not yet been officially named. Several sug- gestions for names are being reviewed by the SMC Board of Trustees, which has the final decision in the matter.

A special open house will be held at the home economics center for SMC graduates and guests at the alumni homecoming next fall, Mrs. Cushman, chairman of the department, announced, then hastily added that alumni are in- vited to visit the home economics center any time.

A wide selection of paperbacks and hard-bound books will also be sold.

The store will also carry Hallmark greeting cards, while the Mercantile will continue their American Greetings.

Both ladies' and men's clothing will be sold.

Gift items, luggage, cameras and film, and various other student needs will also be stocked.

The National Association of College Services does not recommend a store of this type to be designed for self-service unless the college has an enrollment of 4,000. So it appears that it will continue to be a full service Campus Shop for some time.
