NROTC Enrolls 200 in Unit;
60 Receive Navy Scholarships

Two hundred students have en-
rolled in the University unit of the
1iaval Reserve Officers' Training
Corps, Capt. Woodson V. Michaux,
head of the unit, announced yester-
day.
Of the 200 trainees, 60 will be regu-
lars enrolled under the Holloway Plan
and the other 120 will follow the pre-
war NROTC arrangement,
Four-Year Scholarships
The Holloway Plan provides a Navy
scholarship of four years duration.
Students are appointed midshipmen,
USNR, and are paid a retainer pay of
$600 per year in addition to receiving
their tuition, books, fees, and trans-
portation to and from home.
Fraterniies
Cancel Meals
For MRshees
Faced with a pressing food shortage
and the necessity of serving board to
large post-war chapters, members of
Interfraternity Council have unana-
mously voted to ban the serving of
meals to rushees during the first week
of formal rushing.
"The self-imposed rushing regula-
tion is the first restriction of its kind
ever enacted by fraternities at this
University, " IFC President Harry
Jackson stated. "The sources of sup-
ply for fraternities are already over-
burdened, and the situation would
become impossible to handle without
the new restriction."
Defining University residence hall
policy concerning fraternity pledges,
Dean of Students Joseph A. Bursley
said that these men would be allowed
to live in the dormitories until their
contracts (usually for a full year) are
terminated.
As a result of the ban on meals for
rushees, the IFC passed a regulation
extending the daily deadline to 9 p.m.
'during the first week of rushing. This
ruling supercedes the regulation pub-
lished in the official IFC booklet
which is being distributed to every
man registering for rushing.
More than 250 men signed with IFC
yesterday to boost total registration
figures for the first two days to ap-
proximately 350 men.

The Plan is designed to supplement
the Naval Academy as a source of
Naval officers. Students who enroll
in the plan are not subject to the
draft, but will serve two years on ac-
tive duty with the Navy upon gradu-
ation. ..
The 60 now enrolled under the Hol-
loway Plan fill this semester quota.
Applicants were chosen on the basis
of an appitude test given by the Bu-
reau of Psychological Services.
Eighty-five students competed in the
examination.
Pre-War Members
Students enrolled in the pre-war
NROTC plan are designated as con-
tract students. These students re-
ceive $20 per month during their jun-
ior and senior years of training. This
does not interfere with the $65 per
month received by veterans under
the G. L Bill who enroll in NROTC.
Contract students in their freshmen
and sophomore year are subject to
the draft but advanced students are
draft exempt. Contract students are
placed on inactive duty after gradua-
tion, although they may apply for ac-
tive duty if they want it.
Students who wish to enroll in the
NROTC as contract students may
apply until Monday at the Dept. of
Naval Science and Tactics in North
Hall.

1 arsham To Speak
Sunday at Rackham
Reuben H. Markham, foreign cor-
respondent who has spent a quarter
of his life in Eastern Europe, will
speak on "Russia in the Balkans" at
8 p.m. Sunday in the Rackham Audi-
torium under the auspices of the Po-
Ionia Students Club.
Markham was in the Balkans in
1944 as Deputy Director in the Office
of War Information. He was later a
foreign correspondent there for the
Christian Science Monitor, until last
June, when he was expelled by the
Russians from all Soviet-dominated
lands.
S1tducents To Arrange
Photo Appointments
Students who wish to have their
photographs appear in the 1947
Michiganensian should arrange to
have them taken by the New York
photographers who have been spe-
cially engaged for the purpose.
Photographs will be taken by ap-
pointment only between 1 p.m. and
5 p.m. for three weeks starting Octo-
ber 14. Appointments may be made
now at the Student Publications
Building.
Proofs of the four poses will be
mailed to each individual so that he
may select the one which he prefers.
The cost of senior pictures is $2.00.

Glamorur Gals
May Rough It
This Semester
That old saw about "four out of
five women are beautiful-the fifth
goes to Michigan" may not be true,
but the saying will take on a new
meaning this fall.
A survey shows that women will
find it increasingly difficult to main-
tain that well-groomed look.
Men too will have their troubles, for
Ann Arbor merchants in such services
as dry cleaning, laundry, barber
shops, beauty shops, and shoe repair
are already feeling the effects of the
increased enrollment here.
Most establishments have added
Snew employees to handle the great in-
flux of business but all feel that their
facilities will be taxed to the utmost.
Dry cleaners are now giving three-
day service, laundry takes from a
week to ten days, shoe repairs can be
made in two to three days, but there
is no guarantee that this service can
be maintained.
There won't be any last-minute
permanents for women with a heavy
date either. Beauty shop operators
report that appointments will have to
be made well in advance.
As for haircuts-well, just plan to
spend some time reading last year's
magazines while waiting.
Horo System ..
(Continued from Page 1)
Honor System. The information in
this pamphlet is used as a basis for
discussion by the underclassmen now
considering the plan.
Students, faculty and administra-
tion agree that the Honor System
cannot be successfully imposed upon
the student body and therefore the
demand for the system must originate
with the student body. Members of
the faculty have indicated that the
revival of the Honor System is to be
decided by the students and that the
faculty is taking no part.
General-Strikers Demand
Shakeup in El Salvador
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador,
Sept. 24-(IP)-Transportation and
industry were paralyzed throughout
this nation today as workers and mer-
chants joined a student-called gen-
eral strike demanding sweeping
changes in police personnel and the
resignation of several cabinet min-
isters.

BUDGET FORECAST:
Building Needs Will Consume
Michigaii ' llMonMiia ry Surplus

Not only will Michigan's much-dis-
cussed monetary surplus for this year
be eaten up by building projects. al-
ready started, but a state surplus of
at least 14 million dollars will be
needed in the next fiscal year to
meet deficiency. appropriations which
will come before the legislature in
January, according to Prof. Robert
Ford, director of the Bureau of
Government.
The state surplus for the fiscal
year which ended June 30 amounted
to $16,312,602. The surplus of $5,219,-
753 remaining from the previous
year brings the total to $21,532,355.
Misunderstanding on Surplus
According to Prof. Ford, there has
beena great deal of misunderstand-
ing as to just what this surplus is.
Some people have charged that the
surplus amounts to more than 100
million dollars. However, Prof. Ford
emphasized, the 21 million dollar sur-
plus represents the only available,
unencumbered surplus. There are
other available funds amounting to
more than 120 million dollars, but
these are all ear-marked for some
specific purpose.
The largest of the funds obligated
for various purposes, Prof. Ford said,
is the 50 million dollar Veterans'
Trust Fund. There is also 11 million

dollars set aside for highway con-
struction and maintenance, 28 mil-
lion cash balances of building appro-
priations which must remain for pay-
ment to contractors, 14 million to be
distributed to primary school dis-
tricts, and 11 million for other
purposes.
Building Costs Rise
Of the actual unencumbered sur-
plus, Prof. Ford continued, almost all
will be needed for two major items
pertaining to the state post-war
building program. Due to rising costs,
building projects already started will
require about 10 million dollars more
to complete than was planned.

Union Handles
T icket Resales
PIe re ale of footb1il tickets to
home game:,x will be handled at the
travel desk of the Michigan Union
between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., every
Saturday before a game, publicity
chairman Jerry Comer announced to-
day.
Receipts will be issued for tickets,
and refunds for those tickets sold will
be made by mail. Tickets not sold
may be picked up between 3 and 5
p.m. at the students offices in the
Union.
The Union does not guarantee the
sale of tickets delivered to the travel
desk, Comer said, and a small service
charge will be made for those tickets
sold.
