Same Name Plus IBM Equals Confusion
Don't laugh, this could happen to you.
Robert A. Gallagher, Tonganoxie, and Robert D. Gallagher Lawrence, both freshmen, are in the process of determining whether or not both of them are enrolled for the fall semester.
While enrolling this fall, the middle initials of the men became confused and Robert D. was given credit for being enrolled in 30 hours, of which 15 were Robert A.'s. Robert D. also was given the only student number between the two.

On the other hand, Robert A ended up with no official enrollment in his courses and no student number.
'Typographical Error'
The mistake occurred when he went to pick up his IBM card for enrollment. Robert A. said.
"I noticed the middle initial was D, and I pointed it out to the persons in charge, but they said it was prophably a typographical error and gave me the card anyway," he added.
Robert A. went through his enrollment with the wrong IBM card and the wrong student number.
"I even had my ID picture taken with the wrong student number," he added.
"This confusion has had little effect on me, other than amusing me." Robert D. said. "I just had to fill out another IBM card when they couldn't find mine."
The men first became acquainted when they took their physical checkups at Watkins Hospital after the mix-up had occurred. They both agreed it was quite surprising to find that each had the same name, except for the middle initial.
'Surprisingly Alike'
"Both of us look suprisingly alike, in that we have about the same build and we both wear glasses." Robert A. pointed out. "We also are both veterans."
Robert A.. who was discharged from the Air Force in August, 1956. said, "I thought administration errors like this occurred only in the Air Force."
Robert D., who was discharged from the Navy in October 1955, said "I thought administration errors like this occurred only in the Navy."
"As yet I have no student number." Robert A. said, "but otherwise everything is straightened out."
There are about a hundred old-fashioned grist mills still in use along Ohio streams.
