HARLAN HATCHER President ANN ARBOR. more Than School City ry By JOHN WEICHER, What sort of place is Ann Ar-' bor? First and foremost, it's a uni- versity town. There's some truth in student comments that without the University, Ann Arbor would have fewer than 5,000 residents. But the city is trying to become more than "just a university town." One major industry, a camera company, is already lo- cated here, and two others have made, plans to move plants to the city in the near future. City Growing At present, 54 firms, with 6,000 employes, manufacture various items in the city. These are chief- ly light manufacturing industries, making such goods' as surgical and scientific instruments, elec- tronic devices, and automobile ac- cessories. University facilities have been a major factor in attracting these firms to Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor is growing. Physical-- ly, the city annexed both East Ann Arbor and Pittsfield Village in the last year, greatly increasing both its area and population. In addi- tion, the expanding University en- rollment is also adding to the pop- ulation, which has increased 14,- 000 since 1950. That Ann Arbor is a University town can be seen from its cost of living, which is as high as any other city in the United States, cording to Department of Labor Statistics. a Thrs T'h'.r Increases Steady Since 1951; High Mark Set -in 1947 By CARL JORDAN' The largest enrollment in I versity history is expected this according to most recent e mates.
