Shows Largest Gain
The largest enrollment in the his-
tory of the University appeared cer-
tain yesterday after three days of
registration, when 9,997 students had
enrolled, according to figures released
by Registrar Ira M. Smith.
This mark was an increase of 243
or 2.5 per cent gain over the enroll-
ment of 9,754 for the corresponding
period last year. The enrollment of
women students showed a larger in-
crease with 126 than did the men
with 117, or a percentage gain of
4.7 and 1.7 respectively. The total
number of men enrolled was 7,187
and 2,810 women, during the first
three days of registration.
Last Year's Enrollment
Last year's final and complete reg-
istration for the first semester was
10,644, larger than any previous en-
rollment, while the number registered
for the whole year reached a total
of 11,339 students. With a corre-
sponding number /of late classifica-
tions this semester, the largest en-
rollment on record would be reached.
During 1930-31 the enrollment
reached 10,107 but decreased during
the depression years, and did not
reach the 10,000 mark again until
1935-36 when 10,401 students were
enrolled.
The largest increase in enrollment
was noted in the engineering college
where 1,824 students registered in-
cluding four women, a gain of 180
or 10.9 per cent over the same period
last year. All schools and colleges
in. the University showed increases
excepting the Law School, College
of Pharmacy, School of Dentistry and
the School of Education, where there
were slight decreases.
The literary college registered an
increase of 20, or a total enrollment
of 4,523 students, 2,769 men and 1,-
754 women. The total number of
men was a decrease of 41 under the
enrollment last year, but 61 more
women were registered this year than
for the corresponding period last
year.
Several Show Decreases
The medical school showed an en-
rollment increase of four students;
the Law School a decrease of 63; the
College of Pharmacy a decrease of
12; the School of Dentistry a decrease
of four; the College of Architecture
an increase of 46 or a 17.9 per cent
gain; the School of Education, a de-
crease of 17; the School of Business
Administration, an increase of 12 or a
10 per cent gain over last year.

Form Cooperative
Seven hundred students will en-
gage in cooperative eating and room-!
ing this year on the Michigan cam-!
pus.
Four groups, the Wolverine, the
new Women's Cooperative, the Roch-
dale Student Cooperative and thec
five-year-old Socialist House, are or-
ganized here on the non-profit basis
of the international "co-op" move-l
ment.
A $6,000 loan made by faculty
members and other Ann Arbor resi-
dents to the Wolverine has enabled
the eating cooperative to move from
Lane Hall to 209 S. State, the former
location of Chubb's, and almost to
double its last year's membership of
350.1
Membership Lists Closed
The membership list closed Satur-
day night with 625 students, 75 of
them workers. At present there are
95 on the waiting list. Membership
will be opened "as soon as technical
problems are ironed out," according
to Donald R Murdock, '38; treasurer.
The loan of $6,000 was secured to
give permanence to the cooperative
and to aid in the purchase of the
building from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation for $15,500,'
$5,000 of which is the down payment
The building was bought at the uni-
form six per cent land contract under,
which the F.D.I.C. operates. The;
contract, Murdock stated. will be
liquidated in approximately 12 years.;
Five apartments +and a single room
in the building are "the Wolverine's
property and rents from them will
constitute a part of the organization's
revenue," Murdock declared.
To Institute Book Exchange
"We plan to institute a used book
exchange," the Wolverine treasurer
said, "very possibly at the beginning
of the second semester."
Ann Arbor's new women's cooper-
ative opened this semester at 517 E.

FRANKFORT, Ky., Sept. 27.-(9)
-The Federal Grand Jury investi-
gating the labor situation in Harlan
County today returned indictments
against approximately 40 individuals
and 22 coal companies, all of Harlan
County.
They were indicted on charges of
conspiring to deprive employees of
the civil rights guaranteed to them
under the Wagner Labor Relations
Act.
Among individuals indicted were
Sheriff Theodore Middleton and 23
men identified as deputy sheriffs or
former deputies of Harlan County.
Those indicted also include 24 ex-
ecutives of various coal mining com-
panies involved. Bond of $5,000 each
was set for the executives and Sheriff
Middleton, and at $2,500 each for the
other individuals indicted.
Conditions in Harlan County were
given a thorough airing several
months ago before the United States
Senate Civil Liberties Committee,
headed by Senator Robert M. LaFol-
lette, Wisconsin Progressive. 0
The Harlan mine area has been the
scene -of recurrent violence for years.
Charges that public officials have
been in the hire of the mining com-
panies have been frequent, and evi-
dence supporting the charges was
given the Senate probers.
The coal operators have been ac-
cused of using oppressive measures
to prevent unionization of the mine
workers..

In Far Eastern
Tongues Here,
Following the great popularity of!
Chinese and Japanese language,
courses in the Far Eastern Institute
last summer, two courses in each ,
language will be offered this year in1
the Oriental Civilization concentra-
tion program, it was announced yes-
terday.
Late addition of these courses,
which further entrenches Michigan's
position as a leading institution in1
Far Eastern studies, was made pos-
sible by grants from sources outside
the University, Prof. Robert B. Hall,
chairman of the concentration pro-
gram board, said.
The courses in Chinese will be
taught by Dr. Y. Z. Chang, who was'
an exchange instructor last year and
who was induced to remain here to!
teach these courses. Dr. Chang for-
merly taught at National University,
Nanking. 4
Dr. Chang will teach a one-year'
course in elementary Chinese lan-
guage and another in intermediate
Chinese language.
Joseph K..,Yamagiwa, an editor in
the Early Modern English Dictionary,
now in the process of compilation,
will teach similar courses in Jap-
anese.
Both elementary courses are for
three hours' credit each semester and
are "designed both for students seek-
ing practical knowledge of the lan-
guage and for others interested pri-
marily in their linguistic aspects."
The intermediate courses are for
two hours' credit. All are in the
Oriental Languages department.
Dr. Chang will also institute a
course in Chinese literature in Eng-
lish the first semester and will again
offer a course in Chinesescivilization
during the second semester.

300 More Killed t
Survivors declared another- 300 c
nen, women and children were killed t
when a Japanese submarine sank a t
fleet of Chinese fishing junks on the I
south China coast. t
Fifty civilians were killed in at-
tacks on the environs of Nanking, C
China's capital, but the city itself t
was spared. Rainfall during the 1
night prevented a renewal of the I
bombardments. I
Chinese reported at least 50 were l
killed at Chuhsien, and 40 at King-
hwa, approximately 100 miles south-
west of Shanghai. The terminus of{
the Canton-Hankow railway at Can-
ton, China's southern metropolis, was
set on fire by Japanese bombs. The
extent of civilian casualties was not
known.
Reinforcements Rushed
In Shanghai itself, Japanese rein-
forcements were rushed into the lines
to step a counter attack. Japanese
warships and land batteries opened
fire on the crowded north station
area. Japanese bombers dropped
four big projectiles just outside the
International Settlement, along the
Woosung railway.
The report of the submarine attack
on fishing ships off the south China
coast came from 10 survivors taken
to Hongkong on the German liner
Scharnhorst. They said the sub-
marine rose to the surface off Chee-
longkau Point and sank junk after
junk, steaming away while the
wounded and dying struggled in the
water.

nsisted the crisis was "not alarm-
ing.
They pointed out that other coun-
tries, including the United States, had
protested the bombardment. They
professed to believe that the two
countries will avoid hostilities.
(Reports from Tokyo declared Rus-
sia and Japan were concentrating
troops along the frontier between Si-
beria and Japanese-dominated Man-
choukuo. The Japanese newspaper
Hochi said the Siberian port and
Soviet army post of Vladivostok was
seething with anti-Japanese feeling.
(Another Tokyo newspaper said
Russia and China had negotiated a
secret military alliance. A Japanese
foreign office spokesman said he had
"'much information" about the re-
ported pact).
Russia's warning to Japan was be-
lieved to be in response to a Chinese
appeal asking Russia to "take mea-
sures" which would help end quickly
such "barbarous and inhumane ac-
tivities" as Japanese bombardments.
The Soviet government registered
"determined protest" against any
bombardment of the Soviet Embassy
at Nanking, and declared it would
hold the Japanese government re-
sponsible for any damage resulting
from such a bombardment.
Officials of the Embassy, the note
declared, had been instructed to re-
