Enrollment To Increase Freshman Class Makes Big Gain By GENE HARTWIG The second 25 percent increase in freshman enrollment in two years will bring an anticipated 3,000 new first year students into the University in September. With more than 80 percent of the freshmen class already ad- mitted, enrollment figures indi- ) cate that roughly 600 miore ap- plicants than last fall's class of 2,400 will be accepted. ACCORDING to Gayle C. Wil- son, assistant director of admis- sions, the overall enrollment pic- ture will not increase very much, however, because of fewer stu- dents at the upper class levels. Enrollment in junior and sen- ior classes is much lower than the present sophomore and freshman classes partly as the result of lower birthrates dur- ing the years prior to 1932.- Indications are that there will be a considerable upswing in theI enrollment of the engineering col- lege as more entering men seem to be taking a greater interest in this field. A BREAKDOWN of those appli- cants admitted so far for the fall class indicates that the two-to-one i in state-out state ratio will remain the same as it has for the last seven years. The male-female ratio, how- ever, indicates ,a decided turn in favor of men with about three women to every four men already admitted to the fall class. According to Robert L. Williams, assistant dean of faculties, the total University enrollment should be slightly more than 17,000 next year. WILLIAMS explained that the! current trend toward an increase a in enrollment began last fall when the University admitted 500 more freshmen than the previous year. M> Williams pointed out that the total enrollment of all students enrolled in colleges in Michigan in 1939-1940 was 52,000 com- pared with almost twice that number, 102,000 in the peak postwar year 1948-1949. At present there are 87,000 en- rolled in colleges in the state and according to Williams this figure may very well jump to 150,000 by 1960. How this increase in student population will affect the Uni- versity enrollment of the future is almost impossible to say, Williams commented. "Population trends as well as social and economic factors coupled with increased interest in higher education largely explain the upward trend in college en- rollment," Williams said. Rabbi Cites World's Needs "We are living in a very diffi- cult world, in which faith and hope are needed," said Rabbi Morton M. V Berman last night speaking in-' formally to a group on "Judiasm's Message for Today." "We are not living in an age where man is depraved, but rather k in a great age, morally and social- ly, said the Rabbi. It is in this age that the state of Israel was born. Before opening a discussion per- iod, Rabbi Berman said that Jud- aism's pertinent message to the world is to bring our wills intoI conformance with the will of God."s Cadets Fill ROTC Honor Positions Four ROTC cadets were elected to office in Scabbard and Blade, national ROTC honor society last night.

University officials declined comment on the Senate's pas- sage of the bill until action is taken by the lower house. Stoutly opposing the appropria- tions bill, eight GOP senators' contended it was"incomprehen- sible" that the state should be planning new construction when it is running so deeply in the red. *. * .; - High School' Press Meets hereToday World news and its relationship to high school publications will be the theme of the 26th annual Michigan Interscholastic Press As- sociation convention, which will be held today in Rackham Lecture Hall.

McCarthy (R- Ois) accused James Wechsler of a "phony break" with communism and how the New York Post edi- tor fired back protests of intimi- dation and "brain washing." McCarthy and Wechsler con- fronted each other in closed hear- ings of the Senate investigations subcommittee April 24 and May 5. McCarthy released a steno. graphic transcript of the ses- sions Wednesday, minus a list of persons Wechsler named as Communists or members of the Young Communist League at the time the editor belonged to the YCL years ago. Wechsler swore his break with communism in 1937 was sincere, complete and proven. He cited writings and actions, and supplied numerous documents for the rec- ord, as proof of his change. "I may say." McCarthy told him, "that your purported reformation does not convince me at all.'r officials Say Godfrey Not At 'U'_Hospital University Hospital authorities yesterday denied rumors that famed television and radio star Arthur Godfrey is now a patient at the Hospital. The announcement followed persistently mounting rumors that the red-haired radio personality had entered the hospital for sur- gery to correct a knee injury suf- fered, in an accident several years ago. ' Recently-issued national tele- vision and radio magazines re- ported that Godfrey was warned to have the operation or be "in a wheelchair within 10 or 15 years. He asked his network for a leave of absence of at least six weeks, they said. Name of the hospital and of the operating surgeon were withheld from the public but the articles indicated that Godfrey would be operated on in the Massachu- setts General Hospital in Boston. removed from news stands by April 1. * * * ON THE LIST were books by James T.
