Registration
Fifth Since

Increase
1952,

By MICHAEL KRAFT
An all time record of 23,000 stu-
dents have enrolled in Ann Arbor
resident credit courses this fall,
Edward G. Groesbeck, Director of
the Office of Registration and
Records announced yesterday.
The increase over the 1956 fall
enrollment of 22,011 was part of
a total University credit course
enrollment rise to 27,035. Final
state wide registration last fall
was 25,810.
In addition to the 23,300 stu-
dents in Ann Arbor, 335 are en-
rolled at the Flint College and 3,-
700 are taking credit courses in
University centers throughout the
state.
Women Increase
Last year's ratio of 2.12 men to
one woman was narrowed slightly
with 4.9 per cent more women en-
rolling at Ann Arbor this, fall
compared to a 3.2 per cent enroll-
ment increase for men.
Although the total Ann Arbor
enrollment rise was the fifth since
1952, when the post war veteran's
peak enrollment leveled and reg-
istration dropped 4,400 from a
1948 peak of 21,363, this fall's en-
rollment fell below the original es-
timate of 24,100.
Lit Hard Hit
University officials pointed to
fewer summer jobs plus higher
semester and living costs as the
explanation for the falloff in es-
timated enrollment.>
Apparently the hardest hit by
the financial situation were stu-
dents enrolled in the school of
literature, science and arts. Last
fall, enrollment rose over 500 to a
total of 6,995. This fall, as of Sept.
21, enrollment rose only 65 stu-
dents to bring the total to 7,059,
some 300 short of the estimate.
Garduates Lead.
Biggest increase was again in
the graduate school where 4,779
students enrolled this September
compared to 4,311 last fall and
3,959 in the proceeding year. En-
gineering college recorded the
next largest increase, with 3,327
students enrolled this month and
3,109 last fall.
The Sept. 21 tabulation also
showed the college of Architec-
ture 'and Design rising 634 to 645,
business administration school in-
creasing from 997 to 1,002 and
education school enrollment up to
847 from 825.
Decreasing enrollments were
noted in music school. Nursing
school and the pharmacy college
dropped. Public health school en-
rollment also decreased.
The other schools were virtually
the same although some registra-
tions forms were still untabulated.

In Arkansas
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. P()-Inci-
dents of violence between Negroes
and whites broke out here last
night in the wake of yesterday
morning's fighting at Central High
School, police reported.
At least one man has been hos-
pitalized after an incident several
blocks away from the high school.
A spokesman for the Little Rock
Police Department said, "A rash of
minor incidents of violence has
broken out all over the city and
we have jailed between eight and
10 Negroes."
"Negroes, armed with all types
of weapons including pistols and
razor blades, are attacking/whites
... throwing rocks at them, break-
ing car. windshields and throwing
bottles into doors of houses," the
police officer said. He said the inci-
dents were occurring in all parts
of this city of 110,000.
Yesterday afternoon, Dan Dink-
ins, of Little Rock was taken to a
hospital for emergency surgery
after he was struck in the head
by a rock. .
Witnesses told newsmen that
Dinkins, a white man, had jumped
from a car carrying a club, and
started to chase a group of young
Negroes walking in front of Arkan-
sas Baptist College-a school for
Negroes.
They said one of the Negroes
picked up a rock and threw it at
Dinkins, hitting him in the head.
Hospital attendants said the man
suffered a skull fracture.
The longest casualty list in the
battle at Central High was com-
posed of newsmen.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (M)-Police
last night fired on an auto-
mobile full of Negroes on a down-
town Little Rock street and first
reports said at least one Negro
was wounded in the gunfire.
Ferd Kauffman, an Associated
Press photographer who witnessed
the shooting, said a city police-
man and a state trooper - both
afoot - fired a total of three
shots at the car which sped away
with three police cars in pursuit.
No reason for the shooting
could be determined immediately.
Little Rock officers at police-
headquarters confirmed that a
shooting had occurred but said
only that "no one was killed."

newsmen were assaulted.
The violence brought these swift
developments:
1) President Eisenhower said he
would use the full force of federal
power to deal with further vio-
lence and issued a proclamation
ordering the rioters to cease and
desist.
No Such Request
2) Gov. Orval Faubus, attend-
ing the Southern Governors' Con-
ference at Sea Island, Ga., said.
the President could not send fed-
eral troops into Arkansas without
the governor's request and "I
don't plan to make any such re-
quest."
Faubus said yesterday's violence
was what he had tried to avoid
when he encircled the high school
with National Guardsmen for
three weeks until a federal court
last week ordered him to stop in-
terfering with integration.
3) Mayor Woodrow Wilson
Mann of Little Rock said the
"seeds of hate, carefully sown and
tended, bore their ugly fruit this
day."
Gov. Faubus Challenged
It was Mann who first chal-
lenged Gov. Faubus' contention
that violence was imminent when
the governor put Guardsmen
around Central High with orders
to keep Negroes out.
4) Lt.Gov. Nathan Gordon, act-
ing executive while Gov. Faubus is
away, said he would call out the
Guard upon written request from
Mann.
5) Mrs. L. C. Bates, the Arkan-
sas NAACP president said yester-
day that the President's procla-
mation was "gratifying and a step
forward" but that "a little more
assurance would be necessary"
before the eight Negro students
go back to the school. 5
The day's violence started at
8:45 a.m. and continued until an
hour or so after the students had
,been removed.
Bloody fights broke out spor-
adically.

To .Inflation
WASHINGTON (W)-President
Dwight D. Eisenhower declared
yesterday : that the "worldwide
phenomenon" of inflation must be
curbed before it spins into a de-
pression.
President Eisenhower set up the
warning in a sober talk opening
the 12th annual meeting of the
64-nation World Bank and Inter-
national Monetary Fund.
