Jump of 164 Results
In Schedule Problem
At the opening of classes for the
1947 spring semester, a modest in-
crease of 164 over the fall figures
set another record in University
enrollment.
The enrollment figure stood at
18,289 when classes started yes-
terday. Though final fall regis-
tration totaled 18,848, at a com-
parable time in the fall, just
before the opening of classes, the
figure was 18,125. The figures
greatly exceed official estimates
made last semester, which antici-
pated as ,much as a 2,000 student
decrease in enrollment for spring.
One year ago, the total regis-
tration. was 13,543.
Veterans Predominate
The 11,300 veterans registered
for this semester comprise almost
62 per cent of the student body
and bring the number of indi-
vidual veterans of World War H
who have attended the niversity
to 17,345.
Facing still another increase in
the number of students attending
their classes, the main problems
departmentsheads reported were
lack of space and time to hold
classes, rather than a faculty
shortage. Texts were said to be
scarce for some classes.
More the Merrier
Final figures on the enrollment
picture of individual colleges were
not available, but a sampling of
various departments showed little
fear in handling the slight in-
crease in students.
The physics department report-
ed a Jump from 1,225 to 1,380 in
its beginning courses but said that
as long as the students wanted
course work they would be able
to handle them. However, Prof.
Ernest F. Barker, chairman of the
department, said that they had
had to turn away doctorate can-
didates.
Prof. C h e t e r S. Schoepfie,
chairman of the chemistry depart-
ment, said that they were not
facing. any serious--problems ex-
cept for having to set up a few
evening courses in organic chem-
istry and quantitative analysis.
Psychology Gains 400
Prof. D. G. Marquis, head of the
psychology department, reported
an all-department increase of 400
people. It was necessary to close
the course in interpersonal rela-
tions about half way through reg-
istration when its enrollment
reached 350, he said.
The greatest problem facing the
engineering college at the begin-
ning of the term is an acute short-
age of di'afting room space, ac-
cording to Dean Ivan C. Crawford.
He did not anticipate much re-
lief from the crowded conditions
there until the addition to the
East Engineering Building is com-
pleted for the fall term.

.PARIS, Feb. 10--The Allies signed peace treaties today with Italy
and four other German satellites in a history-making ceremony, but
the ink was scarcely dry before violence flared in Rome and in Pola,
Italian naval base ceded to Yugoslavia.
The Italian accord, which strips that country of her colonies and
a large portion of Venezia Giulia at the head of the Adriatic, was
signed at a morning session in the brilliantly lighted red and gold
Salon de l'Horloge room of the French Foreign Office.
Treaties for Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Finland-all paying
the price for helping Adolf Hitler to scourge Europe-were signed in
that order during the afternoon session. The United States was a
party to all except the Finnish pact. Twenty allied nations partici-
pated.
LONDON, Feb. 10-Winston Churchill charged the British
Labor Government tonight with "incompetence in high places"
for its handling of the nation's coal shortage and industrial
crisis which has shut down more than 50 per cent of the king-
dom's industry, but withheld "for another day" his awaited de-
mand for a parliamentary vote of censure.
Both Churchill and Hugh Dalton, Laborite Chancellor of the
Exchequer, stated, however, during debate in the House of Com-
mons, that neither the Conservatives nor the Laborites would
consent to the formation of a coalition government.

Housing accommodations for
this semester have been found for
all single students accepted by the
University and all new faculty
members, it was reported yester-
day.
Married students were offered
only single accommodations and
were requested not to attempt to
bring their families.
2,85" Men Housed at Willow
A general survey of the housing
situation shows that approximately
1,500 single men are being housed
in Willow Run dormitories and an
estimated 1,350 married couples.
The Office of Student Affairs em-
phasized that housing accommo-
dations for single men are still
available in the village.
In addition to those students
housed at Willow Run, some stu-
dents were placed in town as
well. Male Michigan freshmen who
came directly from high school
were housed predominantly in the
residence halls. Some freshman
women were also housed in resi-
dence halls.
Non-Nurses Live at Couzens
The Dean of Women's Office an-
nounced that the Nursing School
had made 29 places available in
Couzens Hall for undergraduate
non-nursing students. Provision
has been made for these students
to eat at Mosher-Jordan since
Couzens Hall does not operate
dining room facilities.
At present, 91 women students
are being housed at Willow Run.
The University terrace apart-,
ment house project houses 176
couples at present and has a long
waiting list. The veterans' trailer
housing provides accommodations
for 74 couples.
Need 1,000 More Apartments
Francis C. Shiel, director of dor-
mitories, indicated that it would
be "necessary to continue trailers
for three or four years" and that
"up to 1,000 more apartments
could probably be used right now."
Two additional apartment house
units are expected to be ready in
March.
The office which handles fac-
ulty housing reported that 81 new
faculty members who had applied
at their office had been placed in
rooms that were "adequate." Fifty
of these applicants were married
and half of them had one child or
more.
Approximately 100 faculty mem-
bers are now being housed at
Willow Run.
File for class Offices
Students from all schools ex-
cept literary, education and en-
gineering colleges desiring to
run for the positions of senior
class officers in the Mar. 5
campus elections should file
their intentions to run with
Haskell Coplin, Student Leg-
islature president. Coplin
pointed out last night that
these officers will form a co-
ordinating committee for the
Senior Ball.
When the Governor extended
his probe to Wayne University
and the University of Michigan,
President David D. Henry, of
Wayne, said he would not inves-
tigate the AYD chapter on his
campus because it "has done
nothing to merit disciplinary ac-
'tion."
President Alexander G. Ruthven
said he knew of no "subversive or
illegal activities on the part of
University students or anyone
connected with the University,"
but promised that "appropriate ac-
tion will be taken and, if neces-
sary, assistance will be asked of
the proper authorities" if it were
"indicated" that any student ac-
tivities were "in violation of fed-
eral or state laws."

Recent 'Threat

The Committee for. Academic
Freedom, organized between se-
mesters tfper Gov. Sigler ordered
his investigation of alleged sub-
versive activities in Michigan pub-
lic colleges, added its 47th member
yesterday, and indications were
that the rolls will be closed as
soon as adequate representation of

In its declaration of principles,
the cominittee deplored actions
whereby "certain universities in
this country have recently adopted
policies which are not to the best
interests of academic freedom and
the liberties of speech and as-
sembly" and resolved to "inform
the community of any threat to
