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 (Continued on page 4.)

Bie Dangerous Places on River Will Fixed After Inspection by Boat Club. BeI Preliminary plans for the safeguard- ing of the Huron river were formulat- 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- METHODISTS 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 (Continued on page 4.)

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 which has such matters in charge i.. also in Washington and no definite ac- tion will be taken until their return. F A MOIUS J1olUIRN A LIST TO SPEAK. 1)e.w Williams of Columbia Will Talk to Newspaper Class Today.

PERS(NNEL OF CAST TO BE NA3IED AT NEXT REHEARSAL Charges Will be Maie in Costuming; Mr. St John Will Go With Troupe. 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 the opera, will journey to the Windy 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. Freshman Girl Leaves University. Miss Magelene Tschaeche, '16, has withdrawn from the university and returned to her home.

As the campus clock strikes the quarter past three, the members of the different departments, in order named, will proceed to University Hall where the usual exercises will be held. The program will begin promptly at 3:30 p. in. and the Rev. Arthur W. Stalker will offer the invocation. Dr. James B. Angell and Pres. Harry B. Hutch- ins will delier addresses, and Bruce, D. Bromley, '14; will sing a solo. Following the. benediction by Rev. Stalker,. the seniors will leave the hall by the main entrance, and led by Sel- len S. Dickinson, lit president, and. Clem Quinn, chairman of the 'cap and gown committee, the near graduates will promenade around the campus. The line of march is so planned as to describe a large "M" on the various walks. Contrary to the rumor that has been 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.

GERMAN PLAY HAS LARGESEATSALE This is the last day of the "Koep- nickerstrasse 120" seat sale at Wahr's bookstore.

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.

Several of the prep school athletes ran with the freshies in their trials, and gave them stiff races, although in no event did they bring shame on the college youngsters, by appropriating a first. ing beach on the new Argo pond to a university organization for a nominal sum. The question of allowing swim- ming in the lake above the Barton dam was discussed, but it was decided not to countenance bathing there, ow- ing to the fact that most of the water supply of the city is drawn from the river at that point.
