Vacant SL Seats
WorryLegislature
Group Sees Operating Problems;
Loss of Quorum Not Anticipated
By DOROTHY MYERS
With the loss of at least six of its members, Student Legislature
may face serious operating problems until vacant positions are filled
next month.
Although the exact number of students who plan to leave the
legislature is not known, early estimates indicate the number may
total eleven. If 19 of the 40 legislators fail to return, SL may be
forced to operate without a quorum, constituted b'y a simple majority
of its eligible mermbers.
* * * *
SEATS ON SL which have been definitely vacated include those
held by Enid Stenn, '55, Keith Beers, Grad., Bob Perry, '53E, Al
- -' Strauss, Grad, Audie Murphy,
'53Ed., and Dune Magoon, '54.
T E xpands Petitioning for these vacant
positions will begin in two or
three weeks. Students who wish
Campus PaSt to fill the terms may obtain
petitions at the SL building next
week.

500 over 1952
Increase in Freshman Numbers
Cited as Major Cause of Rise
By GENE HARTWIG
University enrollment figures began to move toward the pre-
dicted 17,500 mark Wednesday as new and returning students went
through the first day of the fall registration.
With the expected increase in student population over last year
close to 500, the biggest boost has come from the new freshman class.
Here a three-to-two men-woman ratio is expected to ease the
problem of the dateless male.
* * * *
IN A COUNT made early in the week it was found that 1,705
freshmen men and 1,209 freshmen women had already reported on
campus. This would put the total freshman enrollment at 2,969 or al-
most 600 more than in the class one year ago.
The total new student enrollment including freshmen and
transfers is expected to be about 5,000.
University officials emphasized that no enrollment figures can be
considered official until the final tallies are made early next week.

Housing Pinch Hits Campus-
<--
With the campus population ex-
pected to swell to 17,500 by the end
of the week, signs of a housing
pinch began to appear as students
poured into town.
Chicago House ii West Quad-
rangle has been turned into wom-
en's housing quarters to accom-
modate the unexpectedly large
women enrollment. One-hundred
twenty women will be housed
there.
It is the first time since its
opening in 1939 that the quad-;
rangle has been used for this pur-
pose and brings to three the num-;
ber of men's dwellings occupied
all or in part by women, accord-
ing to Francis C. Shiel, manager'
of Service Enterprises.
Prescott and Tyler Houses in
East Quadrangle were turned over
to women last year as the result
of the increased women's enroll-1
ment then.
ELSEWHERE in West Q',tad and
in the other men's residerces nu-
merous doubles have been per-
manently converted to accommo-
date three men Permanent clos-
ets have been built and desks, beds
and other furnishings installed.
In addition, the University
recently increased capacities in
all residence hall houses by 467:
persons by converting large
doubles into triple rooms and
large singles into double rooms.
The squeeze on women's hous-
ing has been pat ticularly appar-
ent in the temporary quarters set
up for women in the Health Serv-
ice and recreation rooms of wom-
en's dorms.l
Residence hall officials said
that the housing problem will
probably solve itself by the be-
ginning of ilext week when a
check will tevpal how rmvny s-
dents who bd been asslgred
rooms have nct shown up to en-
roll.
In past years a simi'ar problem
has adjusted itelf within the first
two or three weeks of scuool.
The problem of women's hous-
ing arose from an unexpected,
late-hour increase in the number
of women's applications. Previous-
ly, student enrollment had been
expected to lean more heavily to-
ward the men.
Union Offers
Hlen Variety
Of Activites
Ivy trimmed walls mark the
Union, campus men's club where
the fair sex has not been allowed
to enter the front door since the
building's inception.
Offering extensive recreational
facilities and endless special ser-
vices, the Union has for more
than 40 years been a campus cen-
ter for students and alumni.
THE UNION student offices
serve an integral part of campus
life, sponsoring such events as
movies and weekly dances.
Recently, however, women
have been allowed more liberty
in use of Union facilities. The
north cafeteria is open to them
at all times; the south cafeteria
is reserved for men. The bowl-
ing alleys are also open to
women on Friday and Saturday
evening and Sunday afternoons,
from p.m. to 6 p.m.
All men students automatically
become eligible for membership in
the four-story brick landmark as
soon as full tuition fees are paid.
AN UNEXPECTED turn came
with the unusually large freshmen
women enrollment. The balance
between men's and women's ap-
plications returned to the Univer-
sity fluctuated throughout the
summer with enough of an increase
in women to push the freshmen
male-female ratio to 3:2.
The number of Korean veter-
ans enrolling in fall classes un-
der the new GI Bill indicates
that the trend of returning ser-
vicemen going to college should
continue to go up gradually ac.
cording to Director of Admis-
sions Clyde Vroman.
According to University Control-
ler Gilbert L. Lee the University is
budgeted for 17,000 students, one-
thousands more than in the fall
of 1952. The faculty membership
has been increased from 1,194 to
1,261 for the coming academic
year.
No breakdown of new students
into the various schools and de-
partments ,can be made until reg-
istration is complete, Vroman
commented.
The increase in enrollment
marks another step toward an ex-
pected 26,000 enrollment within
the next 10 to 15 years.
The University reached its peak
enrollment with the influx of vet-
erans after the war. In 1949 the
student population hit a record
total of 24,000.
Activity Night
An activity night designed to
give-students an idea of the
organizations available on cam-
pus will be held from 8 p.m. to
midnight Saturday in the Un-
ion Ballroom under the spon-
sorship of the Joint Personnel
Organization.
University organizations will
have representatives at booths
to explain the purposes, objec-
tives and opportunities of their
particular group.
Refreshments will be served.
There will be no admission
charge.
I Welcome to StudentsI
Exchange
1. 1
To All New Students:
Welcome to the student body
of the University of Michigan.
As a student, you will find that
you are an integral part of an
educational community that en-
compasses the faculty and ad-
ministration as well as the
student body. Membership in
this community entitles you to
the multifold benefits of an ex-
cellent university, and places
upon you the responsibility of
working to better that com-
munity. The University of
Michigan has earned reknown
for its distinguished faculty,
extensive facilities, and en-
lightened educational philoso-
phy-designed to promote the
intellectual development of its
students.
Toward this end, the Uni-
versity encourages students to
participate in a myriad of
student activities, reflecting
the diverse interests and needs
of the members of the student
community.
These opportunities are
yours; the success of your col-
lege career depends on your
taking advantage of them.
Sincerely,
Robert D. Neary
President
Student Legislature
To All New Students
at the University:
A warm and hearty welcome
to each one of you. As you go
about your business of becom-
ing a student-
May you have time to do some
thinking.
May the friends you make in
Ann Arbor be among your dear-
est ones.
May your University associ-
ations in their entirety give you
an education to live by.
Cordially,

Joint Judie
Receives OK
By Regents
Two years of effort culminated
in the permanent recognition of
the ten-member Joint Judiciary
Council at the June meeting of
the Board of Regents which in-
corporated the student group's
constitution into the bylaws of the
University.
As a result of this Regent ac-
tion, students now officially pre-
side over cases concerning the vio-
lation, of University regulations
through the Joint Judiciary Coun-
cil which is composed of five men
and five women,
* * *
JOINT JUDICIARY Council has'
Jurisdiction over all cases referred
to it by the Offices of the Dean
of Students and the Dean of Wom-
en. The group recommends ac-
tion to the Subcommittee on Dis-
cipline, composed of faculty, which
has final authority over decisions
made by the Council.
In addition to conducting
hearings concerning alleged vio-
lations, the Joint Judiciary
Council has been granted other
functions by its recently ap-
proved constitution. The Coun-
cil has jurisdiction over the all-
campus elections as well as be-
ing the appellate body over resi-
dence hall cases, and handling
campus honorary groups. If dis-
putes arise between student or-
ganizations, these too will be de-
cided by the Joint Judiciary
Council.
Prior to the Regent action,
Joint Judiciary was a composite
of Men's and Women's Judiciary
Councils, each group being ap-
pointed differently. The appoint-
ment of the full Joint Judiciary
Council by one board, under its
own charter. is expected to pro-
duce a more representative and
centralized student judiciary sys-
tem.
Men's Judiciary Council is not
expected to function in the future
because its powers largely have
been turned over to the Joint Ju-
diciary Council.
Freshmen OK
For Activities
Participation in non-athletic ex-
tracurricular activities is open
once again to all freshman stu-
dents regularly enrolled in the
University.
Part-time and special students
carrying less than 12 hours must
obtain approval for their partici-
pation from the offices of the
Dean of Women and the Dean of
Students. Eligibility remains only
as long as the students maintains
a "C" average.
