Further it is es- .ed that additional enrollments in epartments during the year will Lit to five per cent of the pres- fgure, bringing the entire total 11,155. These computations are 3 on careful study and past ex- nce in the registrar's office. Fewer Freshmen ile there has been a noticeable' ig off in the enrollment of fresh- for the various colleges, this fact 'set by the large numbers of first women, upperclassmen, and .iate students. Added to this >er it is estimated that about 50 :ent of the.Summer Session reg- tion duplicates enrollments for' ollowing semester. Since the to- attendance at the last Summer on was 2,815, one-half of, that >er is deducted to cover those now 1. There are a total of 144 reg- ed in the Shiool of Education, Prof. W. G.

However, since classes te Extension division do not be- until the week of Oct. 10, there o basis for a definite statement tis time., The enrollment in the al colleg this year lacks 59 ofj ping the mark of 455 attained lastl but of the 396 .enrolled, 8 are al hygienists. Official Estimate Full yre Oct. 5. 1920-21 1921; Ature, Science, and Prof. R. . Wenley, After 25 Years Service, Gives Vie vsOf Old Campus (By D. 0. B.) "Forsan et haec olim meminisse luvabit," sang Publius Vergilius Maro, of blessed memory,.and with a keen appreciation of human nature, for not only was the famous remark true in the case of the "pius Aeneas", but also in the case of Prof. Robert M. Wenley, of the philosophy depart- ment, who after 25 years at Michigan harks back to the old days, when the University was a robust young man of 60. "At that time," says Professor Wen- ley, "University hall had been decapi- tated and had no dome The law building, engineering building, medi- cal building, chemistry building, nat. ural science building, and the libra- ry, dental building, and heating plant did not exist The rooms now occu- pied by Secretary Smith formed ,one large, hideous hole where the lions of the lit faculty howled. This fierce place was decorated by several huge statues - they must have been 14 feet high, and they struck awe into the heart of the newcomer as he arose to take the floor. Where the natural science building now stands there were several shacks, survivals of the Civil War period. A small stand at the faar end of what iS now Ferry field, seating about 700, sufficed'for a 'stadium'." Professor Wenley recollects the day when, while most of Michigan's present student body were not yet in a position to know what a train was, a "steam bumper", of unhappy mem- ory, perambulated between Ann Ar- bor and Ypsilanti. Says Professor Wenley, "I can still recollect that the carpet which decorated its long side seats was a triumph of high-art patterning - it must have been cop- ied from, the, one which is to be seen in the. picture of the surrender of Lee which is on exhibition in Alumni Me- morial hall! "For the rest," said the professor, "there seems to have been much less rush and much more learned leisure than we have now. At least I was not caught up in end less committees1 and similar time-destroying devices. The students were educationally a far more homogeneous body. All had a good grounding in the classics and mathematics. One could even write Greek on the balckboard, sure that most could read it. Activities were far fewer. Above all, we were not bothered on every hand by sudden appearance of that anaemic bogy, 'preparation for life'. But after all is said and done, what moves me most is .the vacant places among my old colleagues, and the vacant places in the pleasant homes where I was first received as a friend, even though a stranger from a far country." UPPERCLISS ADVISORY LISTS MILD TODAY CHAIRMAN URGES THAT ADVISERS COMMUNICATE IMMEDIATE- LY WITH FRESHMEN Changing the original plans to send each upperclass adviser the names of four freshmen, the wmmittee when completing the work of making out the lists for each adviser yesterday, cut the number to three and completed the work so that all names will be in the hands of the advisers by this aft- ernoon. The change was made possi- ble by the enthusiastic response to the request for more advisers. Following receipt of the names of their charges, the upperclass advisers are urged to get into immediate touch with them, by W. W. Gower, '22, chair- man of the committee. "Now is the formativetperiod of the University life of the freshmen," he said, "and if we can reach them, put them into the proper relation with their work and their associates, and get them into act tivities to which they are eligible, we will have taken a longbstep toward the attaining of the best spirit at Michigan. Delay by the advisers in reaching their men will ruin the pur- pose of the work."-1, Plans for the group meetings of the freshmen, whic will be held later, with prominent men on the campus.t as speakers, are maturing rapidly, Gower stated, and speakers will be announced within a few days. Either I three or four sections will be divided off for the meetings, according to thet size of the rooms which can be ob- tained. NATIONS EDUCATE THiR HIGHWAY BUILDERS HERE i j FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS SEND MEN TO MICHIGAN FOR TECH-. NICAL TRAINING Governments interested In road building are sending men to Michigan for training' in the profession, accord- ing to information given out by Prof. Arthur H. Blanchard, of the highway engineering and highway transport department. Chao Tsang Gee, Shih Yu Cheng, and S. Y. Tang have been sent by the gov- ernment of China, and Carlos M. Rold- an by Bolivian authorities. Indications are that an English engineer from In- dia and one from New Zealand will ar-I rive shortly. Franz Thorfinn, a grad- uate of Chalmers Technical institute of Sweden, is enrolled here as a fel- low In the American-Scandanavian foundation, a position which carries with it the choice of any American un- iversity. The list of foreign delegates may be even greater after the short courses begin in December. Applications for fellowships, to be awarded by the Board of Regents in November, have come to Professor Blanchard from graduates of West Point, Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, the University of Maine, Ohio State, Illinois, and the Pekin National university.3 0HW A TICKETS DEMOAED BY HALF STUDENT BODY OCT. 12 FINAL DATE FOR APPLI. CATIONS TO RECEIVE PRECE16ENCE Approximately one-half of the stu- dents on the campus have filed appli- cations for tickets to the Ohio State game, Oct. 22, according to the files in the athletic office. Officials in charge of the distribu- tion call attention to the fact that Wednesday, Oct. 12, will be the last day on which classes will be given precedence, and after that date all applications received will be filed in the order in which they are received.. At the present time these requests are being filed according to class, seniors and juniors being given privilege over underclassmen. After Oct. 12 the orders for seats will be placed in the files, irrespective of campus sen- iority. Applications from both students and alumni are being received daily, and within a short time after Oct. 12 the assignments will be made. ROOMS NOTICE More than 1,000 rooms are needed by the Union rooming bureau for the housing of alumni during their visit to the Ohio State game. Landladies are urg- ed to list all available rooms with Philip J. Schneider, chair- man of the rooming committee for the Ohio State game. He can ! be reached , either by mail or phone at the Union. CLASS ROOMs SHORTAGE ISCUSSED By DEAS, DECIDE THAT USE OF HILL AUDI- TORIUM SHOULD BE AVOIDED Inadequate class room facilities was the main topic under discussion at thet dean's conference held yesterday morning. Class rooms in the varioust buildings are filled to overflowing, and the problem of how to bring into use, all available space is one that demands considerable attention.t Attention was called to the fact that several classes are being held in Hillf auditorium, notably the courses in Eco-- nomics 1 and Political Science 1, andI the consensus of opinion at the meet-a ing was that such use of the auditor- ium should be avoided if at all possi- ble. This building is intended primar- ily for the presentation of public meet- ingsin connection with the University, and it was thought that its use for classes would not only violate that rule, but would be detrimental to the interior decoration and equipment. Frank E. Robbins, assistant to the President, is to conduct a survey of the available class room space in thet literary college, in an effort to relieve ; the congestion, and allow intervals be- tween classes occasionally for neces- sary ventilation. ' UNION RENEWS REQUST FOR VANT ROOM LIST APPLICATIONS FOR 0. S. U. AND3 MINNESOTA ACCO1WMODA. TIONS POUR IN Ever increasing difficulties by the Union in handling applicaions for ac- commodations over the week-ends of1 the Ohio State and Minnesota foot- ball games on Oct. 22 and Nov. 19, caused a further appeal by the Union yesterday to all who have vacant rooms suitable for the use' of Michi- gan alumni or families of students., The fact that the convention of the Press club, .bringing visitors fromI throughout the state, will be held at the time of the Ohio game furtheri complicates the problem of handling the many hundreds who will be in Ann Arbor over that date Requestsi for rooms are being received at the1 Union daily, despite the fact that all - available' space is already reservedi for life members and other alufnni.1 C mmittee Appointed A special committee was appointed by R. E. Swart, '22E, president of the Union, this week to collect data on vacant rooms in town. The chair- man, Phil Snyder, '23E, should be addressed in care of the Alumni Housing committee by anyone who could 'accommodate visitors for the week-end of either game. His assist- ants are William Alexander, '24, Thomas Rice, '23, and Charles Chap- -ple, '24. Will File Information Many 'families of students are ex- pected in Ann Arbor to see the games and unless co-operation in listing room-space is received from towns- people, the committee is expecting still more serious difficulties. The in- formation as received will be placed on file in the Union lobby for the use of students. CARL MAYS HOLDS McGRAWITES TO FIvE HITS; NEVER IN DANGER MIKE MCNALLY STARS BY CLEAN STEAL HOME Ruth's Best is Siugle Scoring Frst Run; Frisch Stars for Giants (By Associated Press) New York, Oct. 5. - Carl Mays, with one. of his masterful exhibitions of box work, pitched the Yankees to a well earned victory over the Giants in the first game of the 1921 World Series at the Polo grounds today. The blond American league twirler of the underhand delivery held the Natioial leaguers runless, the final score be- ing: New York American, 3, New York National, 0. Nays Well Supported It was not without some fine field- ing behind Mays, some pretty work with the stick and clever running on the bases that the Yankess were able to get the jump in the first All-New York series for world baseball hon- ors. Babe Ruth, king of the. long dis- tance clouters, although he didn't make any home runs, was in fair with a timely hit and .some inspiring and heady coaching on the lines. Mike Mc- Nally, the Yankees' third baseman, rated as one of their weakest hitters, contributed a double which blossomed into a run and jumped into a niche in theWorld Series hall of fame by carrying off a neat steal of home in the fifth inning for the second ru, of the game Frisch Stars The Yankee victory was won against a determined Giant defense, the stirl- ing feature of which was a - well pitched game by Phil Douglas, the Na- tional spit ball star. Douglas had the slugging Ruth at his mercy after the fourth inning, striking Babe out twice amid roars of approval from the Giant rooters. In the Giant line-up Frank Frisch, stellar third baseman, ran true to his spectacular form, get- ting four of the Nationals' five hits, one of them a triple and handling brilliantly everything that came his way. Ruth Drives in Score The Yankees' three runs came in the first, fifth and sixth innings. Miller opened the game with a single to cen- ter and took second-on. Pecknpaughns sacrifice, Douglas to Kelly. Miller scor- ed when Ruth hit the first ball pitch- ed to him to center field. It was a hot drive and brought great cheering from the big crowd. McNally Steals Home In the fifth McNally opened with the only double of the game, was advanced to third on Schang's sacrifice, Douglas to Kelly and stole home. The third run came in the sixth, Peckinpaugh singled to short. A passed ball by Schnieder allowed him to gain' second. After Ruth struck out Meusel hit to left center, scoring Peckinpaugh, Meusel drew up on third for what looked like a perfect three bagger and was called out for not touching first base. After this inning only one Yankee reached third base. 3,68 9Apply For Ilnionfrembersip After receiving 46, applications for membership to the Michigan Union during the afternoon, the registration committee closed its office last night with atotal of 3,689 members officially enrolled.

Singers and dancers e in greatest demand this year Simple facts concerning the men- ace of cancer will be presented to the people of Michigan during the week of Oct. 30-Nov. 5, in order to bring to them a realization of the nature of the disease. Such is the purpose of the nation-wide Cancer Week campaign as explained by'Dr. Reuben Peterson, of the Medical school, who is state chairman, in an interview yesterday afternoon. Sills 90,000 Yearly "The information which we wish to get to the general public is this: 90,- 000 people die of cancer in the United States every year. Cancer starts as a local disease. If treated early enough, while it is still local, it can be cured. We intend to go into detail about a few symptoms. We are cir- culating thousands of pamphlets on the subject, more than 400 newspa- pers are helping us, 500 movie hous- es are to show slides both prior to and during Cancer Week, and," con- cluded Dr. Peterson, "after all this work, we sincerely hope that we shall have brought home to the public the nature of the dread disease and BUSINESS TRYOUTS Tryouts for the busiIess side of The Michigan Daily may apply between 2 and 4 o'clock any aft- ernoon this week. First semester freshmen are not eligible. the absolute necessity for seeking ad- vice early, before the disease reaches a fatal point." State Subdivided Dr. Peterson has, for the purpose of organizing his work, divided the state into 13 districts corresponding to the 13 congressional districts. Each dis- trict is to have its district chairman, who in turn appoints sub-chairmen and sub-committees in each county. In Washtenaw county the local chair- man is Dr. J. A. Wessinger, local health officer. Dr. A. S. Warthin,. of the University, has chrge of the lec- ture bureau for the county, and is to arrange for four or five public tec- tures to be given in the city and county. Solicit Wonen's Help Besides these district divisions, there is td be a central state commit- tee, to which in addition to the district chairmen have been appointed repre- sentatives from various women's clubs and organizations whose duty it is to help get the facts before the women of the state, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Wis- consin compose one of the regions in- to which the entire country has been divided. The chairman for this re- gion is Dr. Fred T. Murphy, of De- troit. The plan as a whole originated in the American Society for the Con- trol of Cancer, which has been in ex- istenhce since 1903, and the announced intention of the campaign is not to' scare the people, but rather to pro- mulgate a knowledge of the nature of cancer.
