Tearing loose from the block and tackle arrangem et by which it was R$ be]ing ifted into plac early yesterday morning, one of the gigantic balcony trusses being used in the construction M of the Hill auditoriurin crashed through -IB1A the steel framework for a distance of LE fity feet, causing damage to the ex- tent of $500. Fortunately none of the workmen were in the danger zone at QQJ the time and no one was injured. The truss which weighs over ten tons land- e t1eed in the soft dirt below but in top- plirig over, fell against and demolished some concrete work. No damage was done to the truss itself. The acci- v Syr- dent which is the first one that has yr- happened since the constructing was SSat- begun, will not in any Way delay the 2 dual progress of the work.

There will be somewhat of a battle at Ferry field this afternoon when the Wolveri cs and Wabayh colle:ge hold i 1 a debate to see who can slug and field a ball the best. A runaway game is not expected by either team and the contest should be one of the best of the season. Wabash comes here with a reputa- tion for winning ball games. Their schedule has been a hard one and yet they. have come through in great shape, have taken the strong Notre Dame team into camp, and further placed the University of Illinois In- eligibles deeper into that class as a ball team. Michigan has had a good rest since the last battle and the team is in fine ,shape, with practically all of the hospital list fit for duty. How- ard will work at first again, and either Scully or Nourie at third with chances favoring the sorrel topped one. All the pitching staff is in good shape, but it is probable that Corbin will hurl, leaving Smith and Baribeau for Fri- day's and Saturday's games. The curtain will ring up at 4:05 this afternoon and the increasing size and length of the days make it improbable that the shades of night will inter- fere. The Wabash lineup today will be: There's a little white tent on the campus into which the student dollars1 are now drifting, for the Michiganen-t sian is out. The first lot arrived yes-c terday and were placed on sale atc once, the buyers flocking by the scoreI to secure the year books. rThroughout the entire day there was never a moment when the buyers weret not about the tent and the little leath-c er covered books vent fast. There aret a few left and they will be placed on; sale again this morning. When they are sold, the rest of the prospective< purchasers will have to wait for the next installment.t The 1912 Michiganensian presents the best that the management' could secure in material and workmanship without any increase in the price. And, added to its high grade is the fact thatI it has appeared earlier this year than usual.# It is little different from the. other year books in the matter of contents.; There is the usual list of societies, the yearly reports of athletics and other ;ampus events as well as the senior pictures. But in addition to the cus- tomary matters of routine, are sev- eral views of the campus, that wereI taken last winter and are particularly attractive pictures of the buildings covered with their heavy coats of snow, This is rather a unique depart-, ure from the customary photos of thet familiar shaded walks of the campus. STATIVYS'diCS OF ENROLLMENT P1OVE (lAtN IN ATTENDANCE Total Number of Students Reaches 6 ShwgNet Gain of 20' An increase of 205 students in the university is shown by the last official count which was completed yesterday by Registrar A. C. Hall and his office force. The total enrollment o both regular and summer sessions, uring the past year has been 5,586. This is 203 more than have ever been enrolled in the university in any one year. The greater part of this increase occurred in the literary department, the other portions of the campus for the most part having merely slight gains. The number of graduates during the year 1911, as shown by the statistics, was 1109. JUNIOR DENTS hOLD PICNIC TOI)AY AT WHITMORE LAKE. Seventy-five juniors of the Dental college have been given a day off by the faculty and will go to Whitmore Lake today on their annual picnic. They will leave at 8:40 this morning on the Ann Arbor, and *ill return at 7 p. m. Boat races, a ball game, field contests, and sailing will furnish the day's amusement. The seal of the Senate Council's ap- proval was set to the new constitu- tion f. the Student Council, practi- cally as proposed, at the meeti ng, of the former body last night. In a long session the new document was passed .y the Senate Councilmen, and whatever changes were made tended to exceed the hopes of the student gov- erning body, rather than disappoint them. At its meeting last night the Senate Council also decided to have facultY -advisers appointed for all for- eign students. Although full details of the changes to the constitution could not be given out till the document had been refer- red to the student committee, the gen- eral tenor of the revision is known to increase the scope of the Council's powers. A way is provided to raise funds, and strict regulations are in- troduced regarding attendance at meetings, and "electioneering" for a seat in the Council. Final action will be taken in the course of a day or two, when the Stu- dent Council committee ratifies what the faculty men have done. It is near- ly a year since the agitation for the new constitution began in earnest. Last Jane the first draft was drawn up, by a committee of the council, but no further action was taken till Janu- ary of this year. The faculty commit- tee, Dean Bates and Dean Cooley, met at the Union yesterday noon for a concluding conference with President Davenport of the Student Council, Captatin Sealby, W. S. McCormick, and Frank Picard. During these prelim- inary stages,' the document has been mostly in the hands of W. S. McCor- mick, who is in large part responsible for the successful consummation of the Student Council's plan. tltIII AlITA BRAVES hOLD ANNUAL ROPE-IN TONIGHT. Michigamnua wigwam will open to- night to admit ten new braves from the junior palefaces. In war paint and feathers, the 1912 tribe will issue forth at 6 o'clock for the annual "Rope In." According to the red man's tradi- tions, the new bucks will gather under Tappan oak where they will be encir- cled by the fighting braves, who with war whoops and chants of the peace pact, will lead them back to the camp fire. Dr. Hall Speaks to Paw Paw Alumni. Registrar A. G. Hall left yesterday afternoon for Paw Paw, to be present today at the organization of the Paw Paw alumni, and their first banquet. President Hutchins had planned to go but owing to the business that piled up during his visit east, he was' una- ble to leave.

As a resultof the action of the Stu- dent Council at its meeting last even- ing, the hour of the tug-of-war contest has again been changed. As matters now stand, the event will be called promptly at 3 o'clock Friday after- noon. The change was occasioned by the objections of several members of the faculty, who protested against class- es being depleted to allow the con- testants to1 leave early in the after- noon. Following the action of the Council, the time of the West Virginia baseball game will probably be shift- ed to 4:20.
