With the final count still not complete, Summer School enrollment has far exceeded

the most optimistic estimates by University officials. As of Thursday night thetotal had reached 1,230 students for OU's first full-fledged summer school. Late

the unexpected numbers resulted in long registration lines. Both are hopeful that,

with this initial experience, the ~egistration process will be beefed up enough

next year to make it easier for students to complete their registration. Ruggles

reports that the major slow-do~'m in the lines. occured at the point of fee reductionsbecause of the large numbers of "guest" students who had not previously gone through

the OU fee reduction process. Despite the heavy registration, only two sectionswere closed. .
