will be delivered to subscribers Thurs-
day morning.

week except Monday, The Daily gives

sports and women's activities. It has
a direct Associated Press wire from
Detroit and prints the syndicated col-
umns by Drew Pearson and Samuel

'Ensians To Be Out
This Week-Maybe
Michiganensians for 1945 will be
distributed sometime this week-
maybe.
The 'Ensian staff has learned
not to make any definite state-
ments about the matter. Since
last June when the campus year-
book was scheduled to make an
appearance, the printers, engrav-
ers, binders and everyone else con-
nected with the rather complicat-
ed task of constructing 2,500 year-
books have besieged the harried
'Ensianonians with promises and
excuses, but not with 'Ensians,
Now it looks as though E-Day
is finally about to arrive. Notice
of distribution dates will be given
in The Daily. Meanwhile, the
'Ensian staff still is keeping its
fingers crossed.

Harmon and Westfall are expectei

DR. ALEXANDER G. RUTTIVEN
... addresses freshmen
OPENING ADDRESS:
Rutbven Says Education
Is Ways- To End Wr

" The most important means of les-
sening the chances of war lie in edu-
cation," President Alexander G. Ruth-
ven pointed out in an address to ap-
proximately 1,200 freshman men and
women and transfer students' at a
rally last Thursday night in Hill Au-
dorium.
Introduced by Prof. Philip E. Burs-
ley, counseior to new students, Presi-
dent Ruthven said that we all must
make it our objective to prevent fu-
ture wars of aggression. "The world
is growing smaller and smaller each
day; friction continues to increase
between people; unless we can reduce
this friction, future wars are inevit-
able and we can't take another war,"
Dr. Ruthven said.
It is our responsibility to learn
to know the people here who rep-
resent almost every corner of the
globe," he said. "Only by knowing
personally the different nationali -
ties, races and religions can we pre-
pare ourselves as good citizens of
tomorrow," President Ruthven con-
cluded.
Preceding President Ruthven, Dean
Joseph A. Bursley outlined the Uni-
versity's program for relieving the
present housing shortage. He pointed
out that the number of women's
league houses and converted fraterni-
A 10% INCREASE:

ties has been increased, while fra-
ternities have been asked to take in
non-members if they can, and quar-
ters for men and women have been
arranged for in the Union and the
WAB.
As he announced the enrollment of
950 freshman women and 453 civilian
freshmen, Prof. Philip Bursley added,
"The former situation of two men
for every woman has been reversed
slightly."
