Reginald B. Phelps A.M., of Southwick, Assistant in History, has been named graduate secretary of the Harvard College Non-resident Students' Center for the coming year. Phelps succeeds Peregrine White '33, who directed the activities at Dudley Hall last year. White is not returning to the Law School this fall, and therefore tendered his resignation. Mark Mazel 1G is the new assistant secretary, the position filled by Phelps a year ago, and will reside at Dudley Hall.

Members have been enrolled daily since the Freshman registration day, with results that foretell an enlarged membership this year. By noon on Tuesday the number enrolled equalled last year's total of 168, and the last report issued yesterday stated that the total is now 198. Approximately 75 Freshmen registered during the first few days, an encouraging increase over last year's figure. During the remainder of this week, the Center will be open for use by all commuters, regardless of whether or not they have become members. After this week, however, its use will be strictly limited to members. The cafeteria served its initial luncheon on Monday, and has been crowded every day this week. It is conducted as part of the regular University Dining Halls system.

The increased support which the Center is getting is doubtless due to the fact that it is now in its second year of existence. The members also are enabled to have the $10 charge placed on the term bill, $5 to be billed in November, and $5 in April. This method of collecting the fee was not available a year ago.

An important innovation effective this year is that a limited number of graduate students will be admitted in order of their application to the graduate secretary. The number of graduate student members is to be limited to 10 per cent of the total membership, and is not to exceed 25 men in any case. This limitation is similar to that employed by the House masters. It is expected that many of last year's Senior members of the Commuters' Center, now engaged in graduate work, will avail themselves of this offer.

The list of luncheon associates at the Center is still incomplete, but from those who served last year the following have accepted invitations to serve again this year: Charles W. Duhig G, of Newton, J. MacL. Hawkes, Instructor in German, and A. W. Samborski, of Watertown, Instructor in Physical Education and Director of Intramural Athletics. Elbert Payson Little, of Worcester, Assistant in Physics and Tutor in the Division of Physical Sciences, joins the Center as a luncheon associate for the first time this year. Two more associates, to complete the list of six, will be named at an early date.

The direction of the Commuters' Center lies in a graduate committee appointed by the Board of Overseers, and chair-manned by Allston Burr '89. The other two members of this graduate committee are R. Ammi Cutter '22, and Joseph R. Hamlen '04
