Close to 900 students, more than ever before in the history of the University and almost 200 over last year's registration, have indicated their desire to pledge a fraternity. Today is- the last day that freshmen may register for rushing. John Fau- ver, president of the InterfraternityI Council said that the IFC offices inI the Union will be open from 3 to 5 p. m. to take, care of the last-minute registration. Any freshman who has not signed up by that time will not be eligible for rushing until next Feb- ruary. It was also explained that; every man who wishes to be rushed this semester, regardless of, whether he signed up last year, must register with the IFC. Fauver stressed the point that, "absolutely no rushing is permitted Saturday, Oct. 10." This means that no fraternity man is allowed to ac= company or take a rushee to the Michigan-Iowa Pre-flight Naval Ca- det football game. In addition, fraternities were re- minded that no rushing dates may be scheduled for Sunday evening and that each house is allowed to make only one date with a rushee during the first 'four days.' Homeowners Asked To Rent Extra Rooms To War Workers LANSING, Oct. 5- ()- Dwellers in overcrowded industrial centers were asked by Governor Van Wag- oner today to open their homes to provide living quarters for war work- ers, as he petitioned the War Pro- duction Board to release materials for a speed-up of building construc- tion. Van Wagoner identified areas fac- ing the most acute shortage of hous- ing as Detroit, Willow Run, Muskegon and Saginaw, but emphasized there was a shortage in practically every industrial city of the state. Asked To Waive Restrictions He called on landlords to waive restrictions against renting to famil- ies who have small children and asked home owners and renters to allow single workers and childless couples to rent their spare rooms. "It remains obvious that the War production program cannot proceed with full success unless we are able Naval Affairs Club To Probe Strategy Of War Movements Opening a series of weekly meet- ings, the Michigan Naval Affairs Club will gather in Angell Hall next Mon- day night to discuss recent naval and ,aerial developments in the world- wide conflict. The club, which holds its discus- sions under the direction of Mr. E. W. Mill of the political science depart- ment, is a student organization com- posed of men and women who are particularly interested in the strate- gical considerations of the present war. Special topics of discussion this year will include the activities of the American Pacific Fleet, problems of anti-submarine warfare and the At- lantic convoy, the expanding roll of naval aircraft, cooperation between the United Nations, and plans for future offensive action. Nazi Official Criticizes French Industrialists VICHY, Unoccupied France, Oct. 5 (WP)- A high official of the German embassy in Paris sharply criticized French industrialists today for their lukewarmness to the Vichy Govern- ment's new compulsory labor pro- gram as the first trainload of 133,000 more workers demanded by the Nazis left Paris for Germany. "An abstention on the part of French employers which remains dif- ficult to understand is often to be noted," Minister Schleier of the Nazi embassy said, according to dispatches from the occupied capital." DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 2) Room of the Architecture Building. The public is cordially invited. Food Handlrs Lectures: The City Health 'Department is to conduct a series of four lectures for the instruc- tion of food handlers in the W. K. Kellogg Auditorium (New Dental Building) at 8:00 p. m. on October 6, 13, 20 and 27. All persons concerned with food service to University students are urged to attend the entire series. Academic Notices Biological Chemistry Seminar will meet at 7:30 p. in., Wednesday, Octo- ber 7, in Room 319, West Medical Building. "The Sulfur - Containing Amino Acids" will be discussed. All v to house decently the essential war workers who must be added to the local labor supplies in order to turn out the materials of war from our factories," Van Wagoner said in a formal statement. "War brings all of us added duties and the necessity for added sacrifices. The program I have suggested in- volves sacrifices. It is essential." Sharing Of Flats Suggested He said occupants of apartments and flats should share them with oth- ers and, if this is impossible, some of them might move into single rooms and release their accommodations for rental to families. He suggested owners of large res- idences remodel them with minimum use of critical materials and, convert them into homes for two or more families, and that large apartments be cut up into smaller quarters for more family units. Homes which are vacant while the owners seek buyers "should immedi- ately be placed on the rental mar- ket," he asserted. Governor Appeals To WPB Coupled with the statement was an appeal to the War Production Board for release of more building materials for Michigan, declaring lack of lum- ber and lack of assurance that the supply to be released in future would be adequate "threatens failure of completion of the private and public housing program." "It is increasingly apparent that shortages in transportation facilities will become one of the major factors in the housing problem for all war workers," the Governor cautioned in his message to the public. "Conservation of tires and automo- biles even beyond the degree which may be enforced by rationing and speed limitation is necessary. I ur- gently request every owner of an au- tomobile to conserve the car and tires so that in the event of a crisis in transportation there will remain a reservoir of private facilities to get war workers to the job from their housing, wherever it may be." Food Lectures To Open Today -' I I i Series To Concentrate Health Problems On Dormitory and restaurant hygiene is the special concern of the Ann Ar- bor Health Department this month in a series of four lectures for all work- ers in establishments dispensing food and beverages.

Movie shorts, supplementary ma- terial for the lectures, will accompany each weekly course of instruction. Dormitory, fraternity, sorority and cooperative house employees are urged to attend the course by the Health Department although it is primarily for employees of city estab- lishments. Those desiring credit for the course may obtain food handler's cards, health officials say, provided all four lectures were attended. "Public Enemies" is the subject of this Tuesday's course of instruction. It wilt be followed on successive weeks by "Food Guardians", "Good Housekeeping", and "The Individual."
