But because of the many people drawn from the waiting list, 664 undergraduates are new- comers to Rice this fall. The unanticipated students have not forced any freshmen to live in the Graduate House, as happened two years ago, but a survey of Orienta- tion Week coordinators revealed that some transfers have been forced to live there and some freshmen have been housed in overcrowded rooms. "We're within three percent of the goal," Vice-President for Student Affairs Ronald Stebbings said. "On the other hand, it's putting serious pressure on the colleges." "We believe that the university operates best at a certain size," Steb- bings said.

When my academic advisor signed my registration form, he asked me about every single class. He didn't just mumble a few words and then sign it.
