Is Made Into Regiment Formerly Was Battalion; New System Constitutes Greatest Of Changes Will Affect Entire Unit Of 600 Cadets Higher Enrollment Was Cause Of Action Taken; Kohl Is Ranking Officer Constituting one of the most com- plete changes in the history of the department, announcement was made yesterday of the changing of the Uni- versity Reserve Officers Training Corps from a battalion to a regiment. Practically every one of the 600 members of the unit will be affected by the change, as it involves altera- tion of the rankCs of student officers, the addition of a regimental staff and three battalion staffs instead of one, and the creation of six new com- panies. Under the new arrangement there will be 13 companies, each with a captain and three lieutenants. Three majors will command the three battalions, and a colonel and lieu- tenant-colonel the regiment. Enrollment Is Increased According to Lieut.-Col. Frederick, S. Rogers, commandant of the Uni- versity regiment, the change was necessitated by the greatly increased enrollment and by the desire to give all officers a chance to become iden- tified with their own particular or- ganizations, to be responsible for their training, and to provide them with the opportunity toreceive credit where it is due for leadership. At the same time Colonel Rogers announced the appointment of com- missioned officers in the regiment for the present academic year. All men receiving appointments are sen- iors in the unit. President Alexander G. Ruthven formally approved the+ naming of student officers yesterday morning. Attorneys Congratulate Senator On Acquittal -Associated Press Photo Sen. James J.

' No leaders of the class of 1937 have been named gs yet, but it was ru- mored yesterday that a number of the men had had a meeting and ar- ranged preliminary plans for their caucus, including the tentative selec- tion of a leader for the class games. Sophomores will hold their caucus at 4:30 p. m. Monday at the Union, at which time they will elect a cap- tain for their class in the games and make plans for the Homecoming week-end eventg. The games wl be held Saturday morning, Oct. 21, which is the date of the Michigan-Ohio State football game and of the annual Fall Home- coming. Included in the list of com- petitions for the morning are the pil- low fight, the cane spree, the hog-ty- ing contest, and the flag rush. Last year members of the freshman class made a clean sweep of the class games, even in spite of a larger gen- eral participation on the part of the second year men than had been seen for several years previous. As was inaugurated last year, the fraternity having the largest propor- tion of its freshmen pledges present for the morning contests will receive a silver cup, to be held until the time of the next games at Spring Home- coming. Advance indications are that next week will prove an unsettled one for members of both classes, as wander- ing groups have already been re- ported on and about the campus, searching for rivals to subdue.

Reich Leaves League And Arms Parley Basis Of Withdrawal Is 'Equality And Honor', Chancellor Declares Versailles Treaty Assailed By Hitler President Von Hindenburg Sets New Elections Of Reichstag For Nov. 12 BERLIN, Oct. 14.--P)-Germany boldly announced her withdrawal to- day from the League of Nations and the World Disarmament Conference. This she didbecausesshe refused to be a nation "of second class rights," Chancellor Hitler declared, and wants "equality and honor." Hitler told the world the German government and people are "ani- mated by no other wish than to help end the human epoch of tragic error and regrettable quarrel." In a dramatic speech, the chancel- lor condemned the post-war Ver- sailles Treaty, long a thorn in Ger- many's side, and maintained there "is no possibility of territorial conflicts between France and Germany." He poured forth his nation's hopes and grievances. He spoke of the country's need for defensive weapons, declared that "the men who today lead Germany have nothing in com- mon with the paid traitors of No- vember, 1918," and maintained the German people regard themselves as guiltless for the World War. Then, to give the people the chance to express their attitude about these sudden epochal events, President Paul von Hindenburg dissolved the Reich- 'stag and set new elections for Nov. 12. In explaining this "plebiscite," Hit- ler said his government will not "turl a deaf ear to proposals for real peace," but "will welcome every sug- gestion." "The German people," the Chan- cellor said, "destroyed their weapons and fulfilled their obligations in the treaties with a really fanatical fidel- ity. "The political leadership of the nation at that time, however, was in the hands of men spiritually rooted in the world of victor states." World Reactions Vary On German Withdrawal (By Asso'fated Press) The world's reaction: Paris-It's the "gravest news in 20 years," said a government spokes- man. "We were much surprised but not upset," said the foreign office. Confident that right and might are hers, France feels safe. Tokyo-Japan, watching the dis- armament conference from the side- lines, expressed no regrets at the prospects of failure at Geneva. An army spokesman said: "It's easy for Japan to sympathize with Germany's demands for arms equality with Oc- cidental powers." Geneva--Outwardly was heard: Let Germany go, we'll get along without her. Inwardly the powers were ser- iously disturbed, wondering: whither leads the road of armaments. London-Prime Minister MacDon- ald ordered the foreign office to keep silent. Great Britain's attitude: To keep hotheads from rocking the boat. Washington-Secretary of State Hull "shuddered" to contemplate abandonment of efforts to disarm. The Reich withdrawal, he declared, is an impediment. i Michigan Union Provides Jobs For More Students This Year ,y 27 Second Lieutenants and lieutenants, two to each ny, were named as follows: t. ,sAmsden, David C.

By JOHN HEALEY With 129 students employed, rep- resenting every school and college on the campus and more than a dozen nationalities, the Union is demon- strating this year more than ever before in its history that it is a "Michigan organization for Michi- gan men."
