MAKE PLANS
FOR SAFETY'
Complete registration figures
for the year 1912-13 show
that there are . 5,805 students
in the university including the sum-
mer session, and 5,099 excluding the
summer session. This shows a gain
of 169 students in the regular session
over last year and 223 over the grand
total of 1911-'12.
Every state and territory of the
United States is represented and 23
foreign countries also send students,
showing that Michigan is one of the
greatest cosmopolitan universities in
the country. The state of Michigan
has 3,140 students in the university
and Ohio with 440 is second. Four oth-
er states also contribute more than
200 students which are New York, 378,
Illinois, 262, Pennsylvania, 234 and In-
liana, 208.
Of the foreign countries China has
the most students in the university,'
sending 83. Only two other countries
are represented by more than 10 stu-
dents and are Ontario with 26 and Ja-
pan 12. There are 179 foreign stu-
.dents showing a gain of 31 over 1911-
'12.
All but four states and territories
are represented in the literary depart-
ment and the summer school; while
the law department has students from
all but eight. In the engineering de-
partment students come from all but
seven of the states.
The greatest gain for the present
year was in the literary departmentt
where there are 225 more students
than last year. The other departments
to register a gain were: engineering,
44, graduate, 38, dentistry, 28, pharma-
cy, 12. Owing to the increased en-
trance requirements the law depart-
ment shows a loss of 124 and the hom-
eop 20. The medic department reports

Preliminary plans for the safeguard-

ed at the joint meeting of the univer-
sity, Civic association officials and Ed-
ison company authorities yesterday
afternoon.
Prof. C. H. Johnston, Supt. of
GroundsJ. H. Marks, Sec. S. W. Smith,
and J. W. Morrison, '14, represented
the university, while Pres. F. Allmen-
dinger of the Civic association, Mana-
ger Hemple and former Professor G.
S. Williams, of the Edison Co., and
Vice-commodore G. B. Duffield, '14E,
of tie Boat club, represented the oth-
ers interested.
Secretary Smith was made chairman
of the meeting, and was authorized to
write to Harvard for information re-
garding their regulations for the ca-
noeists on the Charles river, where
12,000 boats are often seen.
The Edison company also agreed to
put in an iron gate, which is to be
kept locked, at the roller beside the
tail race. All boatsmen will have to
stop at the power house to get the
key, and only those in row boats will
be allowed to put their craft down the
shute. A warning will be placed above
the gate that no canoeists will be al-
lowed to go down there. Another sign
will be placed at the entrance of the
tail race and no canoeists will be al-
lowed there at all. The lights at the
dam will be kept lit until 11:00 o'clock.
The following resolution regarding
the boats will be allowed on the river
was passed:
R.solhe, That the chairman be re-
quested to secure the advice of Profes-
sors Cooley and Sadler, and others if
desired, as to the safety of the various
types of canoes now in use on the riv-

AND VARSITY
CLASH TODAY
ORANGE AND BLACK TEAM MAY
PROVE STUMBLING BLOCK FOR
HOME NINE. BARIBEAU IN BOX
AND SISLER AT FIRST IS DOPE.
Unless Syracuse presents a stronger
front than the majority of teams that,
have appeared here this year there;
may be two swing outs today. But
the chances are that the Orangemen
will engage the Varsity in a tussle that
will be meat and bread to the Ann
Arbor fans. In the matter of base
ball, the easterners have always had
the edge on Michigan and there is a
lot to call for revenge. But with six
veterans on their team who remember
other days, this revenge is not going
to be easy picking.
Syracuse has had a good record so
far his year and has touched severa
eastern teams in tender spots. When
two thirds of the men on the team
have played together for a year or
more there is apt to be machine work
in their playing and it is this machine
work that corrals the runs.. And aside
from this feature they have a hurler
named De Silva who is some hurler.
If this gentleman takes it into his
head to pitch ball, Michigan is going

No sample of the hamburger steal,
which is, supposed to have caused the
tragic death of Alfrel Brummeler,'14
Tuesday, has been examined. No au-
topsy was performed on the body, and
as the hamburg served at Brummel-
er's boarding house Monday was the,
last of the week's supply, it was im-
possible to secure a specimen for an-
alysis.
Secretary Shirley W. Smith, when
asked last night whether the universi-
ty would take any action on the Brum-
meler case, stated that the matter
came within the province of the uni-
versity sanitation committee. Dean
Vaughan, the chairman, is in Washing-
ton, and will not return until Satur-
day morning. Dr. Warthin, chairman
of the civic association committee

Final details regarding the presen-
tation of "Contrarie Mary" in the Ill-
inois theater, Chica-o, will be arrang-
ed Saturday, when Manager Homer
fleath, of the Union, and Phillip K
Fletcher, '13E, general chairman oI

City. Preparation for the advance ad-
vertising of the performances will be
.nade at this time. While in Chicagc
the Michigan men will witness a mu-
sical show put on by the Black Friars.
of the University of Chicago.
As only 100 men will be carried or
the tour, it will be necessary to leave
behind 16 of the students who took
part in the local production last March.
For the purpose. of determining the
personnel of the "home list," a gen-
eral rehearsal will be called next
week, at which time a strict record of
the attendance will be taken and the
choruses pruned accordingly.
Chairman Fletcher and Howard Wil-
son, '13, master of costumes, held a
conference with Bert St. John, direct-
or of the opera, in Detroit last Satur-
day. At this time it was decided to
make some changes in the costuming
for the Chicago performances. The
wig man and make-up artists, whc
officiated in the dressing rooms at the
Whitney here for the Ann Arbor
shows, will be taken to Chicago, and
Mr. St. John will also accompany the
troupe.
Desp'ite some objection on the part
>f those participating in "Contrarie
Mary," the opera train will leave Chi-
cago on the return trip Saturday even-
ing, immediately after the evening
performance. The special train carry-
ing the aggregation to the Cook Coun-
ty metropolis will leave Ann Arbor
Friday evening following the Cap
Night ceremonies.

ling in Germany, Switzerland, and
France. Miss Tschaeche does not in-
tend to return to the university.
Power House Construction Progresses
Concrete construction on the foun-
dations of the new power-house is now
practically completed and about half
of the heavy steel trusses and girders
are already in place. The other large
pieces will probably be hoisted in
place during next week. -

len S. Dickinson, lit president, and.
Clem Quinn, chairman of the 'cap and
gown committee, the near graduates
will promenade around the campus.

describe a large "M" on the various
walks.

widely circulated on the campus, the
senior canes will not be carried.
At 7:00 o'clock .tonight, the sen-
iors will gather on the steps of Me-
morial hall for the first all-senior
sing of the year. Members of the glee

ment will be posted.
GERMAN PLAY HAS
LARGESEATSALE
This is the last day of the "Koep-
nickerstrasse 120" seat sale at Wahr's
bookstore. A large number of good
seats remain at prices from 35 cents
to $1.00 and may, be purchased this
afternoon from 4:00 to :00 o'clock.
Tomorrow the seats will be on sale at
the regular hours at the New Whitney
theater box office.
A complete dress rehearsal will be
held at the theater this evening at

the performance tomorrow night. Con-
siderably more has been spent in ev-
ery department than for previous per-
formances of the Verein.
Prof. J. W. Scholl described the play
in detail in a lecture in the Economics
building yesterday afternoon, describ-
ing the action and situations in the
farce.
The plot of the play represents a
mix-up in real estate relations and
with a farcical trend throughout is
particularly adapted to a student cast.
