Many students entered classrooms 15 minutes early to insure having a place to sit.The chairman of several departments arestill trying to figure out where to put them all. Other departments reported successful solutions to the problem of providing increased teaching personnel with rooms in which to teach. 4,000 Elect Economics The economics department reported a total enrollment of 4,000 elec- tions, an increase of one-third over registration in the spring semester. Twenty-one hundred students '-- Procedure Is Set Up for Ticket Exchanges; Russia Loses Fight for Troop Investigation have enrolled in the introductory courses in the economics depart- ment, 51 sections having been ar- ranged to accommodate them. This figure represents a new record for such classes. Lectures will be' given only every other week, accommodat- ing half of the sections each time. English Sections Arranged In the English department, 103 sections have been arranged to take care of 1,900 freshmen with ap- proximately 22 students in each section. The number of sections in the introductory English courses has been almost doubled 'since pre-war; years. In English 31 there are 22 sections of 47 students each, representing an, unusually large apportionment. ; More than 50 graduate students are acting as teaching fellows in the' English department, which has been forced to spread all over the cam- pus, with class hours extending un-, til 6 p.m. everydday. Students Thurned Away Prof. Louis I. Bredvold, chairman of the English department, said that; no qualified students had been, turned away in hisddepartment ex-n cept in English 45 (a class in Ameri- can literature), where the enroll- ment had to be limited to 45 stu- dents in each of six sections. A record-shattering enrollment of' over 2,250 students was reported in the political science department, with 1,200 students enrolled in the beginning courses, 950 in upperclass courses and 100 in graduate courses. Although "nothing spectacular" was reported by the history depart-' ment, a considerably increased en-{ rollment in all classes hyas noted. Forty-four sections have been created for the introductory courses of History 11 and 12, the latter of the, two having had to close admission because of inadequate lecture room space. Handling the additional sections in these courses was made simpler, it was reported, because of the large number of students who will teach' while working on advanced degrees.' The chemistry and physics de- partment, perhaps the most over- crowded of all, were unable to report1 any enrollment figures yesterday, since sections are still being added in many courses. The enrollment in courses in these departments' has been doubled in many cases. An in- creased number of evening classes may prove to be a partial solution to the problem of over-crowding faced by these departments. Soviet Attacked For Refusing Aid to Hungary WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 -(p)- The United States accused Soviet Russia today of violating a Big Three pledge by refusing to lend a helping hand to economically-distressed Hun- gary. A note to the Soviet Foreign Min- istry called Russia's attention to the Yalta pledge to assist "the peoples of the former Axis satellite states of Europe to solve by democratic means their pressing political and economic problems." Sharply indicating both mounting impatience and anxiety to have that promise fulfilled, the United States reminded Moscow that it had twice sought to make it good in the case of Hungary. But it added that the "Soviet gov- ernment not only has refused to im- plement the undertaking, but has moreover failed to indicate its reasons for so refusing." The note, handed the foreign min- istry Sept. 21 by Acting American Charge D'affaires Eldridge Durbrow, was made public by Undersecretary of State Will Clayton at his conference. Clayton also: Stai n tatemrent GetS Favorable Opinion Abroad U.S. 'Firmness' Policy Thought Responsible MOSCOW, Sept. 24 -()- Foreign circles generally interpreted Prime Minister Stalin's latest statement on foreign policy tonight as a move to reassure the world that Russia earn- estly wants peace. The Prime Minister, replying today to nine written questions submitted Sept. 17 by Alexander Werth, Moscow correspondent of the London Sunday Times, said he saw no real danger of war and expressed the belief that Russia and the western democracies could live peacefully in the same world. The reaction of the Russian public was typified by a machine shop fore- man who, on reading the statement on the front page of Izvestia, the gov- ernment newspaper", smiled and said: "Good." Washington Awaits Deeds Diplomatic officials in Washing- ton expressed hope that Stalin's peaceful words would be backed up by Russia with peaceful deeds. They said it all comes down to this: If the United States will not change maybe Russia will. Perhaps, they said, Secretary of State Byrnes' policy of "firmness" with Russia is paying off. Top flight officials agreed with Stalin's assertion that there is no real danger of a new war. The only danger, they said, lies in the state of extreme nervous tension, in which something might happen that would accidentally bring on war. Answer to Wallace Foreign diplomats suggested that Stalin's statement contained the an- swer to one of the points raised by Henry A. Wallace in his recent New York speech. Wallace asked whether the western powers could be assured that Soviet politicos in Germany would not be turned against Western Europe. Icelainders Riot Over Air Bases REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Sept. 22- (Delayed) - (/P) - Crowds attacked Reykjavik's Mayor and threatened Premier Olafur Thors today in a Communist-inspired demonstration protesting the proposed Icelandic- United States air base agreement. Meanwhile, the Labor Union Feder- ation called a 24-hour general strike for tomorrow in support of demands that the agreement be submitted to the people in plebiscite. The agreement, leaving some American personnel to staff airbases and authorizing their use by Ameri- can military planes, now is before the Icelandic Parliament. China Asserts Rit To Decde Internal A ffairs IHsia Denies Protest Over American Army By The Associated Press LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Sept. 24- Soviet Russia lost a stubborn fight tonight to have the United Nations Security Council inquire into the p'esence of Allied soldiers in alien non-enemy countries after China had bluntly said the question of American troops in that country was its own business. The vote was seven to two against putting thze Russian prposal on the Security Council agenda. Russia and Poland voted together in the minority and France and Egypt abstained. The seven voting against Russia were the United States, Great Britain, Aus- tralia, Brazil, The Netherlands, Mex- ica, and China. The council, which has held almost daily meetings since it took up new members late in August, thus cleared its slate of questions. Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet delegate and coun- cil president, said the council would meet Thursday at a closed session. The council will consider its report to the General Assembly, scheduled to meet in New York Oct. 23. In a last statement just before the vote, Gromyko said he could not un- derstand why the Soviet statement yesterday was strongly resented by Britain and the United States. He said his request for information was not directed particularly at these countries but was intended for all countries. China's delegate, Dr. C. L. Hsia, wasted no words telling Russia that the United States and Chinese gov- ernments would deide "when or whether" American troops would be withdrawn from China. Gromyko in his lengthy statement yesterday supporting his proposal had said there hrad been a wave of pro- test from China against the presence of American troops there. Suply Off -i er Course Opend NROTC Students, Others Are Eligible A new program in which the busi- ness administration school will train NROTC students for service as of- ficers in the supply corps has been announced by Capt. Woodson V-. Michaux, head of the ROTC unit at the University and Dean Russell A. Stevenson of the business adminis- tration school. The University is one of 11 schools selected from the 52 where there are NROTC units to become a center of Naval supply corps training. Under the new program students in the business administration school may take a course called "Principles of Naval Supply" in their senior year. The course is designed to tie in gen- eral business training with Navy methods and systems. Upon satis- factory completion of the course, and after graduation, may qualify for commissions in the supply corps, USN or USNR. Lt. Cmdr. Charles M. Williams, SC, USN, who recently returned from the Asiatic theatre, will teach the Navy supply course. Cmdr. Williams served as supply officer of the cruis- er USS Topeka. 'Q/ Voluntary Basis Will Be Tried; Records To Be Checked Later Machinery was set up last night to cap the lid on fraudulent football ticket procurement brought to light by a storm of student protest. 'rhe University has turned the matter over to the Student Legislature, which will attempt to solve the dilemma through two approaches: (1) vol- untary ticket exchanges on the part of freshmen and sophomores; (2) in- vestigation leading to hearings by the Legislature's Judiciary Committee. Exchange Explained Here's how the exchange will work on the voluntary basis, with no questions asked: Monday and Tuesday students with less than four semesters at the University previous to the current > STRAINED INTERLUDE-Students participate in common beginning- of-the-semester pastime. PETITION FORCES ACTION: Engineering Council Will Ask Honor System Reinstatement The Engineering Council will meet next week to ask the engineering administration for permission to reinstate the Honor System for all classes. George Spaulding, president of the Engineering Council, revealed yes- terday that the decision to present the proposal formally was the result of a petition signed during registration by 1248 sophomores, juniors and seniors, representing 34% of the total enrollment in the college. Freshmen students, who compose about 30% of the enrollment, were not asked to sign the petition. In order to promote a full understanding of the system, discussions of the honor code will be held in the freshmen assem- blies. Sale of 'Tickets For Ohio Game Tickets for a special train and seats at the Ohio State game, Nov. 23 in Columbus, will go on sale at 8:30 a.m. today at the cage next to Rm. 1, University Hall. Sale of 1,000 game tickets will be distributed evenly today, tomorrow and Friday. However, due to shortage of train facilities, only 560 round- trip train tickets have been obtained and will all go on sale this morning. Game and train tickets may be bought separately and after the 560 train tickets have been sold, students will have to purchase seats for the game with the understanding that they provide their own transporta- tion. Newest development in plans for the trip is the announcement that coffee and doughnuts or sandwiches will be sold at the railroad station from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. The Student Legislature Varsity Committee. sponsors of the trip, have made arrangements for the special train to leave Ann Arbor at 7 a.m. the morning of the game and leave Co- lumbus at 7:30 p.m. that night. The University Marching Band will also travel to the game on the train. Sales of game tickets will be limited to two per person, but no limit has been set on purchase of train tickets. Students must present their cash- ier's receipts to purchase tickets. Prices of the tickets are $3.50 for the game and $7.60 for the train. Members of the faculty and ad- ministration of the engineering col- lege havebeen al most unanimous in their approval of the proposed re- vival of the Honor System on a pre- war basis, provided that it is at the students' request and with their full support. Spaulding said he believes "the re- sults of the petition are conclusive evidence of strong student support for the plan," and that the Council would take action next week. During the past year the Engineer- ing Council, student governing body, and the Michigan Technic, engineer- ing student publication, have been ac- tive in promoting the revival of the Honor System for freshmen and. sophomores. The Council recently published a small pamphlet explaining the his- tory, operation and function of the See HONOR page 6 AYC ToHold Meeting Today Will Plan Elections, Living Cost Surveys Organization business will fill most of the agenda at the first fall meet- ing of the University chapter of the American Veterans Committee to be held at 7:30 p.m. today in the Union. The membership of the organiza- tion will be asked to approve the pro- cedure for electing new officers, tem- porary chairman Lorne Cook said. Nominations for new officers will be made next Wednesday and elections will be held the following Wednesday, Oct. 9. Plans for a "cost-of-living" survey and a non-partisan "get-out-the- vote" campaign, which were made by the executive committee of the local chapter last Sunday, will also be pre- sented to the members for approval. Cook said, "In line with our non- partisan stand, the AVC feels that the best democratic insurance of good government is widespread voting. We urge Michigan residents to register and out-of-state students to vote ab- sentee ballots." Detroit Move Called Important by OPA WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 -()- OPA said the sentencing of 27 used semester who hold tickets in sc- tions 24 to 28 inclusive may turn their tickets in, receiving an identi- fication stub. First and second year students who hold tickets in these sections ob- tained them either through error or fraud. Wednesday and Thursday, upper classmen and graduates who do not have seats in those sections will be allowed to exchange their tickets for tickets in their class section. Identification Required Definite proof of class status must be presented with all ticket ex- changes (i.e. blue print). Friday and Saturday (till noon) those students holding identifica- tion stubs (freshmen and sopho- mores) may, by presenting their stubs, obtain tickets in sections set aside far, themr. Announcement of where the ex- change will take place will be made in a subsequent issue of The Daily. If a check of the records reveals that students have failed to return illicitly-obtained tickets for their rightful ones, they will be summoned before the Judiciary Committee of the Legislature, Davis said. Hearings Planned Hearings will be held and recom- mendations for punishment will be made to the University Disciplinary Committee. In the past, punishments recom- mended and approved have included fines, withdrawal of athletic privi- leges, suspension, disqualification from extra-curricular activities, and expulsidn from the University.
