Dr. Nile said that he has just returned from the field and has not had sufficient time to investigate any damage. However, he said that at a meeting -of the State Board of Education the only damage reported was from Montana State College at Bozeman. The damage d?ne there was confined to lln old bUlI~ing called Montana Hall. The estimated damage to the hall, was about $6000.

MSM How to transform a 19-year-old beauty queen into a 60-year-old woman or how to devise four com-plete stage settings to fit into a half dozen different sized stages as well as into a ton-and-a-half truck are only two of the many problems :-vhich had to be faced by the tourlng: Montana State University Masquers before bringing their producnon of the comedy "The Matchm~er,'" to Monta'na School of M.mes at ~:Oo p.m., October 20, in LIbrary-Museum Hall. .Ini.tially the problems were those of FIrman H. Brown, Jr., director of the play and chairman of the Dep~rtment of Drama at the Universrty, but they ultimately involve the other members of his staff and the entire student cast of the play who must help solve them.

Enrollment Up The enrollment at the School of Mines is up about 12 per cent over that of last year. The Registrar's office enrolled 311 students this year in comparison with 284 in 1958. ' Although there are s<;>metransfer students, the increased enrollment is mostly because of the high enrollment of freshmen students. Registration Will continue until October 9 to accommodate students who may be working or in military service.
