With the non-Communist world stirred by evidence that the So-

A record shattering 20,618 stu-
dents elbowed their way into al-
ready crowded classrooms yester-
day as the University's opening
day enrollment soared to an all
time high.
Last year only 20,533 students
arrived for the first day of classes.
ALTOGETHER 22,918 students
are enrolled in credit courses, in-
cluding 2,300 students taking
courses through the Extension
Service at six centers throughout
the state.
Late registrations will proba-
bly push the final total over the
24,000 mark, according to Reg-
istrar Ira M. Smith.
An additional 6,000 students
are enrolled in the non-credit
adult education program through-
out the state.
** *
THE ENROLLMENT still leaves
male students facing a grim 3 to 1
ratio, with only 5,116 women stu-
dents enrolled on campus, com-
pared with 15,502 men.
Veteran enrollment, however,
dipped for the second succes-
sive year with only 9,249 GI's on
campus, 1,344 less than last
year.
THE CONFERENCE committee was appointed to reconcile the
differences between Senate and House measures. Although it ap-
iproved the main features of the
bill yesterday the committee still
has several minor points to iron

Students have apparently
gained some ground in their post-
war battle against Ann Arbor's
housing shortage.
As the semester began yester-
day, nearly every student had a
place to hang his hat and deposit
his newly purchased books.
AT THE SAME TIME, the bul-
letin board in the Office of Stu-
-dent Affairs was covered with no-
tices of rooms and apartments for
rent.
According to Edith Gowans
of the Office of Student Affairs,
the residence halls this year
have been able to admit about
100 ,upper- classmen after tak-
ing care, of all the incoming
freshmen.
However, she added that the
men's dormitories are still oper-
ating under conditions of "emer-
gency housing." This means that
there are three men in the double
rooms and two in the singles.
* * *
"WITHIN TWO YEARS, when
the new men's residence is com-
pleted, we hope to go back to nor-
mal, with two men in a double and
one in a single room," Miss
Gowans said.
This year only about 300 sin-
gle men are living in the Willow
Run dormitories, as compared
with some 900 who lived there
immediately after the war's
end.
Housing for married students is
still somewhat scarce according to
Mrs. Esther C. Griffin, also of the
Office of Student Affairs.
A LOOK AT THE Office of Stu-
dent Affairs bulletin board showed
that most of the apartments for
rent are located in outlying com-
munities such as Ypsilanti, Whit-
more Lake, Raspberry Lake,
Brighton and Portage Lake.
Women's housing problems
have eased up somewhat since
the opening of the New Wom-
en's residence.
Dormitories are still crowded,
however. There are still about a
dozen women living in temporary
quarters in the dormitories,
awaiting permanent assignment.

Students Okay
Ducat System
Students will sit with their
friends at football games this fall,
but they came very close to cheer-

A scant eight hours before the
first of the ducats were distributed
last Wednesday, members of the
Student Legislature and the Board
in Control of inter-collegiate ath-
letics worked out a system that
satisfied almost everyone.
"WE ARE VERY pleased the
way things worked out," Ticket

Lessen as Rules
Go Into Effect
Student driving on campus
slowed down to a halt at 8 a.m.
yesterday as the University driv-
ing regulations went into effect.
All last week hopeful students
applied for special permits at the
Office of Student Affairs. This
year married students no longer
need secure permits to drive.
John Gwin of the Office of Stu-
dent Affairs explained that the
permits are issued to commuting
students, physically handicapped
students and those who need cars
for business use.
Gwin stated that permit appli-
cations must give information on
their car's public liability and
property damage insurance. Those
under 21 years old must present a
letter of consent from their par-
ents.
Driving permits are not parking
permits, Gwin pointed out. Dis-
abled students and faculty mem-
bers with the rank of instructor
or higher are the only drivers who
may park their cars on University
lots, Gwin said.
Union Cards Ready
Male students may pick up
Union membership cards from 3-5
p.m. in the Union's student offices
on Monday through Friday for the
rest of the semester.
Students should bring cashier's
receipts to the offices.
Union membership cards are
necessary for Union dances and
for the use of Union recreational
facilities.
OSA Troubles Continue-
Long AfterRegistration
By JIM BROWN
Students exhausted by the long agonizing process of registering
might well be thankful that they aren't faced with the tremendous job
undertaken by the Office of Student Affairs every year at this time.
Toiling quietly behind the scene of long lines and jammed up
classification tables at Waterman Gymnasiun last week, a staff of
more than 30 people were rushing through the frenzied job of cata-
loging statistics on every student as he came through.
FIRST STEP in the process was the titan job of taking the
pictures of more than 20,000 students in a three. day period. These

Affairs.
To speed up the long lines,
four multiple speed cameras,
each capable of taking 250 pie-
Lures an hour, were used. While
students occasionally jammed up
behind the cameras in an espe-
cially rushed period, the pho-
tographers usually were able to.
keep well ahead of the incom-
ing students. ,

NOW, WHEN /most students
have fully recovered from the reg-
istration ordeal, the staff in the
Office of Student Affairs. are still
faced with weeks of work before
their files are ,brought up to date.
A 'record is made for each
freshman and transfer student
when he enters the University
on which is entered his name,
address, date and place of birth,
religious preference, parents'
name and address, and his pic-
ture.
Increases in eight schools and
colleges were reported while five
units showed decreases. The larg-
est gain was made by the School
of Graduate Studies where nrp4 -
ment is up 17.5 per cent.
CLOSE BEhIND the Schools of
Education, up 15.5 per cent; Den-
tistry, up 12 per cent; Forestry
and Conservation, up 8.3 per cent;
Public Health, up 5.2 per cent;
Pharmacy, up 4.8 per cent; Busi-
ness. Administration, up 2.9 per
cent; and Architecture and De-
sign, up 1.8 per cent.

Call Talented
Sophomores
For TugWeek
If you are an "eligible" sopho-
more, man or woman, and can
sing, act, direct, move scenery, or
turn on lights, come to Rm. 3G at
the Union from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
today or tomorrow, Adele Hager,
'51, director of "Soph Satire"
urges.
Singers for both chorus and solo
parts are needed, as well as stage
technicians, to make the sopho-
more musical comedy, to be given
Friday, Oct. 13, at Hill Audito-
rium, a success, Miss Hager
stressed.
AT THIS ,TIME, the. sopho-
mores will take the lead in the re-
vival of "rah-rah" by showing the
freshmen their outstanding tal-
ents and senses of humor, thus
climaxing a week of fun and riv-
alry between the two classes.
The original music for the
talent show was written. by
Gene Consales, graduate of
Juliard School of Music and
Montclare State Teachers' Col-
lege. He is now the director of
music at the Union High School
in New Jersey.
The idea of a week specifically
designed to prgmote school spirit
as well as to give underclassmen
a good time, is the "brainchild" of
Bill Gripman, '50E, who will su-
pervise the week's activities.
