Pierpont last January. IT PROVIDES for immediate construction of a "research cam- pus" of four buildings and a long-? range development of perhaps 20 or more buildings, including hous- ing, dining and recreational fa- cilities. Also in the project are a fine arts center, including an out- door amphitheatre and televi- sion station, and a veritable mecca of research facilities. A 267 acre tract directly north f the new Veteran's Administra- ion Hospital has been purchased ver the past two years by the University from eight major own- ers at an average cost of about $1,000 per acre. THE FOUR buildings actually in the blueprint stage are a $850,000 Cooley Memorial Laboratory, $1,- 000,000 Phoenix Memorial Labora- tory, an $800,000 automotive lab- oratory and a $500,000 library stack unit, which will eventually be expanded into a full library. Funds for the first two are al- ready available from private do- nations. The University has al- ready begun construction of the Cooley Laboratory, which will house the Engineering Research Institute The new Engineering Institute building will be a memorial to Dean Mortimer E. Cooley, who headed the engineering college from 1903 to 1928. THE INSTITUTE functions as a coordinator and liason body for scientists from various depart- ments, private firms and the gov- ernment. It will be a boon to the har- ried scientists who have trekked from building to building during the scattered Institute's 30-year existence on the campus.

See ORIENTATION, Page 2 Bigger Campus Total Expected Earlier Count May Be Surpassed In Final Tabulations for Term A sharp increase of about 500 students in the freshman popula- tion is expected to push University enrollment for the fall term over earlier predictions of 16,695. Admissions officials, still too busy with the personal side of en- rollment to compile statistics, felt that the jump in freshmen students would keep the campus population about the same as last fall's total of 17,226. * * * * ORIENTATION DIRECTOR Ivan Parker listed 2,533 students- 1411 freshmen men and 1122 freshmen women--enrolled in the first- '* 'week program as of September 5. -Daily-Alan Reid THE LINEUP-This gallery or representative freshman types were getting the "true poop" from their group leader yesterday in front of the General Library.

Over 145 organizations, ranging from political clubs to nation- Ality groups provide students a chance to pursue outside interests on campus during their leisure time. FIRST SEMESTER freshmen once again are eligible to partici- pate in extra-curricular activities. Students carrying les- than 12 hours or on academic discipline, however, are not allowed to work in actin :ties. "Time for a change' Grid Ticket Distribution Starts_ Monday Student football ticket distribu- tion will take place from,8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday at Barbour Gnna- sum. The No. 6 coupon on the regis- tration "railroad ticket," located under the cashier's receipt, will be punched, placing the student in a group according to the number of semesters he or she has attended the University. STUDENTS with three or more years at the University will be inI group four; two and one year stu- dents in group three and two re- spectively and freshmen in group one. Transcripts must be available at registration to prove ticket sta- tus, according to Mike McNearny '53, ticket committee chairman. Groups can pick up tickets at the following times: Group four, Monday; groups two and three, Tuesday; group one, Wednesday. McNearny also announced that the Athletic Department will dis- tribute student programs again this year, at student section gate entrances., A campus presidential prefer- ence poll will highlight registra- tion at Waterman Gymnasium this Conducted by The Daily throughout registration *the poll is a follow-up on one held last February when Dwight D. Eisen- hower won an overwhelming vic- tory over a score of candidates. WITH THE FIELD narrowed down to Eisenhower, Adlai Ste- venson and a handful of minor candidates the race this time is expected to be considerably clos-. er. Stevenson's statements early in the year concerning his unwill- ingness to be the Democratic standard bearer resulted in his re- ceiving only 31 votes in the first poll. Eisenhower, on the other hand polled a whopping 51 per cent of 'he 5,313 votes cast to beat his nearest rival, Sen. Robert A. Taft who netted 19 per cent of the final count. On the basis of their sweep in February, 78.2 per cent of the total vote went for the Grand Old Party, the Republi- cans are favored this week. Stevenson forces expect to picks up early Ike supporters who felt the Illinois governor would not win the Democratic nomination: Eisenhower backers are relying on stalwart Taft supporters to vote for the General following the Taft statement of last week en- dorsing the General. Daily pollsters will be on duty throughout the week in the base- ment of Waterman Gym to poll students as they proceed to regis- ter. Final results will be announced in the first Daily of the semester on Tuesday. Cinema Guild Will Show Free Movie The Student Legislature Cinema Guild will present a free show, "Unfaithfully Yours," at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 17, in Hill Audi- torium. The Guild will open its regular semester program with "Drums Along the Mohawk' 'starring Clau- dette Colbert and Henry Fonda along with "Pennies From Hea- ven" starring Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong at 7 p.m. Satur- day in Hill Auditorium. "Change-to what?" U U U Two welcomes U' women Lose OA RatioDrps Cold statistics are catching up with the freshman woman, but newcoming men, it seems, never ~had it so good. The men-women ratio in. the University freshmen class tradi- tionally keeps women the under- dogs by an over two-to-one figure, consequently giving them the up- per hand in campus social rela- tionships. * * * BUT FATE-and the draft- have conspired this year to bring the ratio the nearest to equilib- rium it has ever been. According to orientation - offi- cials, freshmen men number 1,411 with womenclose behind at 1,122. Women have taken over two East Quad houses and are still occupy- ing a one-time men's dormitory, Victor Vaughan house. * * .* AND EVEN with this additional planned housing for women, the Dean of Women's Office reported "more women than expected" and temporary housing facilities are being expanded to accommodate them. No one would comment just yet on the psychological impli- cations of the diminishing ratio, but campus town was fast be- coming a man's world as wo- men's choice in the matter of picking a date dwindled. Admission officials encouraging- ly noted, however, that the men- women ratio in the freshmen class is usually lower than among up- perclassmen. Art Loan Exhibit Open at Rackham Art Loan prints will be on ex- hibit from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for a week beginning Wednesday, Sep- tember 17, in the mezzanine gal- leries of the Rackham Bldg. Students may rent the prints from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Manday through Wednesday by presenting their ID cards and the fifty cent fee. Seven hundred and fifty prints are now available in the collec- tion, including samples of most of the masters, both old and mod- ern. To All New Students: A cordial welcome to the University, where most of you will spend the next four years. If those years are to be some of the most eventful and valuable of your life, they should provide at least three things-the tools for earning your living; life- long friends; and ideas that will formthe basis of action in your life. The first of these ob.iectives is comparatively easily at- tained. The second depends largely upon you. The saying, "If you want a friend, be one,' is a social axiom. The third ob- jective is the very reason of a university's exist ence - the study of principles, philoso- phies, ideas, and ideals that have survived and that point the way to the good life. May you realize these objec- tives in full measure. Cordially, E. A. Walter Dean of Students Welcome to the student com- munity of the University of Michigan! As a student, you will find that you are an integral part of the total educational community, encompassing the faculty and administration as well as the student body. The University of Michigan is re- nowned for its distinguished faculty,'extensive facilities, and enlightened educational philos- ophy-all designed to promote the intellectual development of its students. An equally important goal of the University is to prepare the student for intelligent, aware citizenship. To fulfill this function, the University en- courages students to partici- pate in a myriad of student ac- tivities. These opportunities are yours; the success of your col- lege career depends on your taking advantage of them! Sincerely, Howard P. Willens President, Student Legislature Total freshman enrollment in the fall of 1951 was about 2,000. Plagued with the usual tem- porary housing crisis, housing officials for both men's and women's residences noted a big- ger than usual crowd of fresh- man and transfer students. Even with two houses in East Quad housing women students, the Dean of Women's Office reported 130 freshmen in temporary ac- commodations. The Office of Stu- dent Affairs has about 160 men in temporary living headquarters. ADMISSIONS director Clyde Vroman noted that the variables in predicting enrollment were greater this year than they have been in the past. There is. how- ever, a general understanding col- leges throughout the country will either increase or hold their own, he said. Such factors as family pres- sure and the socially recognized importance of a college educa- tion pull students into college, while armed services and the advantages of industry work the other way to decrease enroll- ment, he explained. Korean veterans, eligible for University education under the new billion dollar GI Bill passed last month, are beginning to en- roll, but in very small numbers," Vroman indicated. Veteran en- rollment is expected to pick up gradually. University Controller Gilbert L. Lee said that the University is budgeted for 16,000 students, the same as in the fall of 1951. Facul- ty membership is not expected to vary much from last year's total. U' Counseling Service Aids All Students The University's well-integrated "referral" counseling system op- erates as a service to University students faced with emotional, vo- cational and academic headaches. Attempting to simplify the huge University system, the counseling service is divided into two general categories; one con- cerned with. all students enter- ing the University; the other comprising more specialiyed ser- vices to students with specific problems. The "referral" system molds the individual counseling service into a network whereby each counsel- ing agency can consult the re- sources of the other. THE FIRST counselors the en- tering student encounters are the residence hall advisers. In the men's dormitories, a system known as the Michigan House Plan has been in effect for the last decade. Heading the plan are three resident diree- tors, one for each Quadrangle. The Quads are divided into houses, each house having a resi- dent adviser, an associate adviser and several staff assistants. Special permission for part- time and special students and those on discipline may be granted in extraordinary cases )y the Dean of Students and the Dean of Women.
