"WP Students From 32 Fore And 48 States Enrolled ign Nations ' Students residing in the state of Mich.gan constitute more than 50 percent of the tctal University en- rollment of 11.973 which represents 32 foreign nations, four dependen- cies, the 48 states and the District of Columbia. According to a report received yesterday from the Registrar's Of- fice, 6,797 graduates and undergrad- uates are from this state while 1,- 341 are from New York, 706 from Ohio, 575 from Illinois, and 327 from Pennsylvania. Other states which have more than 100 students at the University are Connecticut with 103, Indiana with 242, Massachusetts with 158, New Jersey with 239 and Wisconsin with 130. Foreign enrollment figures total 228 with 61 students coming from China, 52 from Canada, 21 from Turkey, 12 from Columbia, and 10 from Thailand (formerly known as Siam.) Music Stores Increase Sales Of Recordings The fabled and proverbial charms of music have had added opportunity to spread throughout the nation since the sweeping phonograph record price reductions of Sept. 15, and the pub- lic has been quick to take advantage of the opportunity, sales results of local music stores indicate. With 50 and 30 per cent cuts low- ering the prices of Columbia and Victor recordings, sales have displayed increases ranging- from 25 to 120 per cent. As one record shop pro- prietor explained the situation, "many more people are buying many more records." Most outstanding increase in sales has taken place among the classical recordings-symphonies, concertos, sonatas and operatic selections. Many people, apparently, are finding that classical records are no longer a luxury and buying enough records to start collections. It is in this field that salesmen report the most new customers. The old customers are reportedly buying more records than ever before, both in classical and popular fields. Popular dance and vocal recordings have practically doubled in sales since September, and the cheaper makes of records are holding their own in sales volume despite the fact that their price has remained at the old level. Most popular classical composer with the students, according to sales results, is Tchaikowski, whose "Ro- meo and Juliet Overture," Sixth Sym- phony and Fifth Symphony lead the sales parade. Beethoven is a close second to Tchaikowski in popularity with Ann Arbor music .lovers. Both these composers have been at the top of popularity for several years, sales indicate. The other foreign nations are rep- resented by less than 10 students with four coming from Argentina, two from Bolivia, six from Brazil, one from Costa Rica, two from Cuba, one from England, one from France, one from Germany, one from Guate- mala and one from Holland. In addition there are four students from Hungary, six from India, five from Iraq, four from Japan, one from Java, three from Korea, one from Mexico, one from Nicaragua, four from Palestine, one from Peru, one from Slovakia, seven from South Africa, one from Spain, one from Sweden, two from Switzerland, four from Syria and six from Venezuela. There are 69 students from Am- erican dependencies with 32 repre- senting Hawaii; 19, Puerto Rico; 14, the Philippine Islands, and four, the Canal Zone. Of the 6,797 students from Michi- gan. 2,066 are from Wayne County, 1,312 from Washtenaw, 460 from 4t Michigan Oakland, 380 from Kent, 245 from Genesee, 145 from Kalamazoo, 139 from Jackson, 132 from Calhoun, and 122 from Saginaw. Additional state enrollment figures are as follows: Alabama, 20; Ari- zona, 12; Arkansas, 10: California, 75; Colorado, 36; Delaware, 3; Dis- trict of Columbia, 38; Florida, 39: Georgia, 16; Idaho, 18; Iowa, 49; Kansas, 41; Kentucky, 36; and Louis- iana, 17.

Only graduate students in history will be admitted to the meeting. Americas Hold Co-Observance Of 'Health Day'! First annual commemoration of "Pan-American Health Day" was held Tuesday by members of the Division of Hygiene and Public Health, as well as physicians of the Health Service staff. Dec. 2 has been the day chosen for this observation because a number of scientific and disease prevention dis- coveries were made on that date. Uni- versity observance was postponed one day in order to hold the commemor- ation in conjunction with a meeting of the Public Health CluE. Speaking on public health Condi- tions in their countries were Dr. Juan A. Gambus, Dr. Ulpiana 'M.

Architecture Clinic Aids Students In GainingPractical Experience of tie dorins IL _ I By GLORIA NISHON and DAVE LACHENBRUCH Any unusual sights or sounds em- anating from the direction of Ob- servatory hill this week were due to the excitement of Marion McGrath and Jean Husted, both '44, of Stock- well and Jordan who were completely bowled over by their first look at, of all things, common ordinary snow!' Honestly, Floridans are the funniest people! Saturday, according to inside in- formation slipped to us on the Q.T. by Millie June Janusch, '43, Alum- nae House entertained Dean Alice C. Lloyd and five members of their Board of Governors at a luncheon. Yesterday, the West Quad residents heard Ravel's String Quartet in F Major at the regular nightly record concert in the Louis Strauss Memorial series. Beethoven's Fourth Symphony will be heard tonight. Tomorrow night Danse Espagne by Chabrier and Don Juan by Strauss will be heard. Franck's D Minor Symphony will be the attraction Saturday, and on Sun- day Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto Number 2 will be featured. And the East Quad heard Beet- hoven's Moonlight Sonata, the Sonata in C Sharp Minor on their music appreciation program last night. Also on the program were Rubenstein'a. Ka mnoi-Ostraw and Sibelius' Fin- landia Prof. and Mrs. Preston Slosson of the history department and Prof. Harlan H. Bloomer of the Depart- ment of Speech were guests at a fac- ulty dinner in Cheever House last r-ir Architecture at the University of; Michigan School of Architecture hasI become more than an academic study with the introduction into the cur- riculum last spring of a students' Architectural Design and Building' Clinic. The Clinic, which is under the guiding of Prof. George B. Brigham, was sponsored on an experimental basis by the School to help bridge the present gap between college and the practice of architecture, as opportun- ities for apprenticeship have become increasingly more difficult to obtain. Realistic Problems Throughout the undergraduate years the ability to handle actual problems like those faced in the Clin- ic in a realistic and satisfactory man- ner is acquired by a simultaneous study of architectural organization for use and the elements of inclos- ure, supplemented by the study of ab- stract design to arouse the imagina- and Mrs. Burton Thuna, Dr. Aubrey Hawkins and Dr. and Mrs. Malcome Soule. The newly organized Painting and Sketching Club of the West Quad- rangle will meet Saturday at 1 p.m. in Room 11, Winchell House, for its first oficial session. The group, under the advisorship of Prof. Jean Paul Siusser of the art school, plans to do work in water colors, figure sketching, oils and modeling. Its pur- pose is to "draw for the fun of it, to get instruction and to possibly take part in a group project. This year's program will feature speakers on the various phases of commercial art, charcoals, pastels and sculpturing. It sure sounds swell-good luck!' Ruth Reinhardt, '42, chairman, in- formed us yesterday that Martha Cock is holding its formal dance of the year from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m Friday. Earl Stevens wil supply the melodies and the decoration scheme will be blue and silver. Last Saturday we were guests at the French table at the West Quad, under the able direction of Bert Smith, a grad of the University of Louvain, in Belgium. We couldn't parley-voo so well, but it sure is a swell idea. If we ever get caught up on our Shakespeare assignments, we intend to write a feature on the French table. The French table, incidentally, , cC rl n n Pv onr0a tinnAr , nih A n tion as well as the intellect. The Clinic is thus the logical culmination of the present College curriculum. To facilitate the student in becom- ing familiar with actual materials with which he must deal, wood- framed models are built at one-quar, ter full size, concrete and mortar are mixed by hand to get the feel of it, and bricks and concrete blocks are laid. To help the study of organiz- ing space, scale models take prece- dence over the graphic means, mak- ing internal relations appear much more vividly to the student. In the Clinic the student architect meets the client under the supervision of registered architects (either mem- bers of the faculty or architects in local practice) and under conditions similar to those used for the student cf medicine or dentistry. He discuss- s with the client the problem in- voved, inspects the site, analyzes the )roblem, holds frequent conferences vith the client, makes preliminary ;yetches, and finally working draw- ings and specifiactibns. Stays In Background The supervisor stays in the back- ,round as much as possible, thus hrowing onto the student all the re- sponsibility of which he is capable. in order to advance him more rap- idly toward an independent profes- sional practice. At present the stu- dent does not assume the resp~nsibil- ity of dealing with the contractor. While acting in an advisory capacity,I however, he makes frequent inspec- tions during construction, reporting to the owner any improper methods or deviations from plans, but he does act have authority to deal directly with the contractor. The Clinic has been received en- ;husiastically by the local architects, ?rof. Brigham said. "With an agree- ment that commissions will be limited to buildings not exceeding $6,000 in ,ost, the architects agree that the ,linic will not compete with their business, but will help them by in- reasing appreciation of the services of the architect," Prof. Brigham pointed out. Prof. Schneidewiud Will Speak Today Discussing th manufacture and testing of gray and malleable iron castings, Prof. Richard Schneidewind of the chemical engineering depart- GETTING READY -FOR WHAT? -Natives in Hongkong, Brit- ish crown colony, near Canton, China, are busy these days fil%:ng sand- bags to protect buildings and citizens against danger from possible air raids.

NO PLACE FOR A GUN-SHY GOB-- Any British sailor who's gun shy would have a hard time of it aboard any one of Britain's battleships whose sides bristle with guns like these. Heavy cannon and anti-aircraft guns are shown in this photo, taken during fleet action "somewhere at sea." PRESIDENT LEAVES ON MYSTERY-SHROUDED CRUISE -In a jovial moots, rresmein t tousevelt waved to Miami crowds as he started on a Caribbean cruise aboard the U.S.S. Tuscaloosa.
