To date a total of well over 3000 stu
dents have registered as members of
the Union. This is 500 more that
were registered last year at this time.
Of the men registered, more thar
1500 are first year men. It is expect.
ed that within, the next few days the
registry will mount well toward the
5000 mark.
In an effort to make as many of
the men students as possible register,
the Union plans this year to inaugu-
rate the practice of calling for mem-
bership cards at the door. It is thought
that in this way many students who
have formerly neglected to register
will do so.
The Union also plans to make more
use this year of the advice cards, filled
out by all first year men, and in which
they tell their qualifications with re-
gard to the various, extra-curricular
activities. In former years these
cards have not been used to the best
advantage.
A number of students have left their
Treasurer's receipts at the Union
when registering. These may be ob-
tained by calling at the office of the
Recording Secretary, on the third
floor. '

Better co-operation upon the part
of both the students desiring work
and those seeking workers has great-
ly facilitated the service of the Uni-
versity employment bureau and has
resulted in placing more than 800'
students in appropriate positions a!-
ready, according to a statement issued
yesterday by Mrs. Mary L. Stewart, j
in charge of the work of the bureau.
Until Saturday night the almost
steady flow of students desiring work

fessor John S. Worley of New York,
who has been called to aesunme the
new chair. of transportation in the

in the League of Natiofas.
NEVI ZONE ORDNANC
Contrary to an existing rumor, Ann
Arbor's zoning ordinance which went
into effect Sunday will not affect the
building of fraternity and sorority
houses, according to information se-
cured in the office of the city enginee'r
of Ann Arbor.
Many persons were of the opinion
that the new ordinance would prevent
the construction of such buildings in
districts classed as residential, but
the law has been interpreted to mean
that such dwellings may be placed in
any of the four zones.
The ordinance, passed by the Com-
mon Council of the city of Ann Arbor
September 4, 1923, divides the city into
four classes, class "A", residential dis-
trict ;class "B", residential ,distris
but more restricted than "A"; class
"C", local business district; and class
"D", commercial and industrial dis-
trict. The purpose as given in the
ordinance is "to regulate and restrict
the location of residences, trades, in-
dustries, businesses and the location
of buildings designed for specified
uses."
Each district has certain types of
buildings which are prohibited, as in'
class "A" only homes, municipal
buildings and churches may be erect-
ed. No dormitories may be built in
sections designated as class "A" resi-I
dential districts
The ordinance, however, does not
effect buildings which have already
been constructed or those which are
under the process of construction.
Neither does this refer to the construc-
tion of buildings where perrhits have
been granted.
Copies of the ordinance together
with a map of Ann Arbor showing the
designated districts may be secured at
the office of the city engineer in the
city hall.

For Work
2000 UPPERCLASS ADVISORS
NOW ASSIGNED TO FRESHMEN
Five Union committees have been
actively engaged during the days of
enrollment helping first year students
to get in touch with their upperclass
advisers, and students of all classes
and colleges to secure rooms, and to
register for the Union and the temp-
orary Student's Directory.
Rooms being plentiful, the Union
committee has been able to locate
nearly all students who have applied
to it for room space. Members of the
committee will be in the lobby of the
Union from 9 until 12 o'clock this mor-
ning and from 1 to 6 o'clock this af-
ternoon. Beginning tomorrow, they
will observe only the afternoon hours
specified. Thomas Cavanaugh, '24, is
chairman of the committee.
500 Upperclass Advisers Named
Advisers have been assigned to
more than 2000 freshmen, according
to Charles W. Merriam, Jr., '25, chair-
man of the Upperclass Advisory com-
mittee. The committee has been at
work since Tuesday making it pos-
sible for first year men to get in touch
with their upperclass gvisers imme-
diately and to secure their assistance
in registering and classifying.
In response to letters sent to them
during the 'summer, 250 upperclass-
nen volunteered to act as advisers and
these, together with approximately
he same number obtained before the
lose of school in June, completed the
quota necessary to care properly ford
the incoming class. t
Following the close of the registra-r
tion of freshmen, the office of the co-r
mittee was moved from the first floor
to the student offices of the third
floor of the Union where they will be t
open from 3 to 5:15 o'clock every af-c
ernoon except Saturday.

LARGEST MINE OPENED
IN GOGEBIC IRON RANGE
BESSEMER, Mich., Sept. 25.-The
deepest and probably the largest un-y
derground iron mine in the world is
being opened up in the Gogebic iron
range, between Bessemer and Iron-
wood. The shaft, when completed,
will be 4,000 in depth-1,000 deper
than any other iron mine in this
country.
Blasting crews, working night and
day, are making only slow progress,
our and five feet daily being the av-
erage. The rock is solid volcanic
gronite and resists thse strongest
steel drills. Added to the difticulty
s the fact that the workmen mustI
be lowered down the siaft and then,
hoisted out after they have drilled
the holes and set the dynamite
charges.
The shaft is a rectangular hole, 23
feet long and 10 feet wide. At pres-I
ent the shaft is down about 450 feet.}
This means that nearly two ind one-1
half years will be required, working
very day in the year, to complete the
haft alone.
About 50 men are employed in sink-
ng the shaft, which will be known as
he Geneva mine.
