The system to be used this year which is similar to that used last year, will do away with the house to house canvass as was the old custom, and will in- volve the necessity of personal- ly placing the room to be list- ed. This may be done by tele- phoning Dr. Fred B. Wahr, As- sistant Dean of Students from1 whom the announcement of the change is forthcoming. The listing of the rooms ought to be complete at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the school year so that adequate lists may be prepared in the office of thec dean of students for use by University men. Dr. Fred B. Walhr, in commenting upon the rooming situation and the new plan of proceedure, expressed I the belief that there will be no ( shortage of rooms this fall. Wier Pleases Audience WithI Cello Recital Before a good sized audience Prof. M. C. Wier gave a novel but delightful 'cello lecture-recital last night in the auditorium of University hall. Despite the uncomfortable warmth of the eve- ning Professor Wier kept his audience interested and the hour's program was] finished before most had realized that the time had passed. Professor Wier opened his enter- tainment with a brief talk on the his- tory of the 'cello. The 'cello is said to be a descendant of the viola, one of the older stringed instruments. Pro- fessor Wier displayed a "viola de gamba" which he obtained from the museum of musical instruments in b iill auditorium and pointed out the points of difference between that in Itrument and the modern 'cello. Professor Wier had two 'cellos of his own which he described. One was an old instrument made in 1670 an* the other a modern product of 1923 lie explained that an old instrument is much easier to play and told how it was valuable for more than senti- 'mental reasons. The things most de sired in a 'cello, according to Profes- sor Wier, are evenness of tone and tone quality. After his talk on the instruments he gave a short program. He played the first number on the "viola -d gamba" and then repeated, on his owr instrument to illustrate the difference between the two instruments. He then played a selection on his newest 'cello to show how that differed from his old one. The selections were ,played in a charming manner, th 'last number on the program being es- pecially pleasing. AD ORQURE CORES An important change in require- ments for teacher's certificates will go Into effect in the School of Education when it opens for the fall term on September 16. Heretofore, out of the fifteen hours necessary for a certifi- cate, seven or eight were required, the rest were allowed to be elective by the student. . Under the new rul- ing the student will not be allowed to .More Than 50 To Report For Fall Football Varsity footbal practice will offic- 5laly begin on Sept. 15. Between 50 and 60 candidates are expected to re- port on this date. It is known that with Captain Steg- er there will be Rid Babcock, Mearle Baker, Robert Brown, Charles Grube Harry Hawkins, William Burns, Walt- er Kunow, Philip Marion and Jim Mil- ler on the list who will report early. In addition to these Varsity men there will be a formidable list of players made up of Harold Steele: Howell White, Ferdinand Rockwell, E R. Slaughter. , Henry Ferenz, Lowell Palmer, Fred- erick Parker and John Witherspoon were also on the Varsity squad las year but failed to make their letter It is expected that these men wil' make additional effort to win the em- blem this year. Missing from the ranks of last year', championship team will be the names of eight regulars. Four of these eight were athletls of outstanding nation- .al reputation. Kipke and Blott were chosen on All-American teams, Uter- 'itz was rated among the leading quarterbacks of the country, an6 74uirhead was ranked as one of th/ best tackles in the West. While not coming in for such wide- spread recognition as the above four,. Vandervoort, Cunard, Neisch and Vick were regulars when in condition and played very important parts in Mich- igan's series of 'victories and will be greatly missed in the fall. Figures from the office of the Sum- mer session show that 81 more stu- dents are enrolled this year than were enrolled in 1923. But this increase comes from only four of the schools: the Graduate school with an increas- ed enrollment of 135 students, the School of Education with 87, the Med- ical school with 22, and Public Health Nursing with an increase of 39. All of the other schools report a decrease in enrollment, the case of the Colleges of Engineering and Architecture being the most extreme with a decrease of 103 students.-, The enrollment by schools for this summer is as follows: the School of Literature, Science and the Arts, 1118; the Colleges of Engineering and Arch- itecture, 411; the Medical school, 298; the Law school, 156; College of Phar- ,macy, 14, Graduate school, 721; School of Education, 437; Library Methods, 89, Biological station, 46; Embalming and Sanitary Science, 5; and Public Health Nursing, 57. This gives a total of 3,352 but as the last four schools mentioned are included in some of the others, 205 must be deducted leaving a total of 3,147.

"1Present Situation in Philosophy" is Topic of Lecture by Campus Professor RREALISM AND ATURALISM ARE MODERN TENDENCIES Indicating the general movement in philosophy at the present day, Prof.1 R. W. Sellars, of the department of philosophy, in his lecture in the Nat- ural Science auditorium yesterday af- ternoon on "The Present Situation in Philosophy," gave a brief survey of this field.' The modern tendency in philosophy, Professor Sellars said, is partially to- ward realism and partially toward na- turalism. There are two aspects from which this subject may be consider- ed, feeling, or the reactions. of the world in general on each individual upon which personal philosophies of life are built, and technical philoso- phy, the decision on the general na- ture of philosophy gained by years of reflection and research. Philoso- phy, the speaker declared, is closely related to religion and science, and has always been influenced by these factors to greater or less degrees. Professor Sellars proceeded to give briefly a history of philosophy inI America from the old school of real- ism, through the idealistic period man- ifested in New England transcenden- talism, the later reaction against this phase, to the present day new real- ism and the influence of physical sci- ences on it. The controversy between the ideal-' ists and realists deals largely with epistemology, or the relation of the mind to known objects, he declared. The hostility of science toward phil- osophy formerly so prominent here has never been felt in Europe. Here,! Professor Sellars believes, the two have not been sufficiently acquainted with the work of the other to appre- DRAWING CLSSES TO EXHIBIT WORK Free Hand Drawing to be Shown in Alumni Hall, Other Work in Engineering Building GENERAL AND INDUSTRIAL ART STUDENTS SHOW WORK - Exhibition of the work done by sum- mer school students of free hand draw- ing will take place in west gallery of Memorial hall, and of the students of . general arts and industrial arts courses, in Engineering building, room 203, Aug. 12, from 9 o'clock in the morning to 5 at night, and Aug. 13, from 9 o'clock in the morning to 10 at night. ,Probably the exhibit interesting to the great majority of people will be that of the course in general art, un- der Miss Emmna Grattan. This course is a course in public school art and the new color theory, developed the last four years, and is mainly for art (teachers and supervisors. Miss Gratten, who has been at Mich- igan for five summers, has Jad a great deal of experience along these lines. She is supervisor of public school art in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and has had the satisfaction of seeing the refiec- ton of her efforts noticeable in most of the homes of the town. Cedar Rap- ids is known throughout the state because of her work. The industrial arts exhibit will show the application of the newly discover- ed principle of dynamic symmetry. This, though newly exploited, was ap- plied in the famous and beautiful ex- amples of Egyptian and Greek art. Queer boxes of reinfoced portland; cement, that look as if they were dug up from some ancient tomb, textiles,, represented by chenille rugs, book; ends, and innumerable suggestions forI the study of art in the grades, will be on display.i Mr. Leon L. Winslow, supervisor of; art education, the state department of education, the ,university of the statet of New York, is the instructor of these classes. Classes in free hand drawing and painting have used water colors, char-3 coal, pencil and oil as their mediums. The work is still life outdoor studies of the spots of interest on the campus and the region around Ann Arbor. Mr. Slusser is spending his fourth summer as instructor here. He is a graduate of one of the first architec- tural classes of Michigan and has kept, a studio in New York City since be- fore the war. Fifteen or twenty water; color studies of Mr. Slusser's will al- so be on exhibition.

VWISCONSIN SWEPT BY STORM: HEAVY LOSSES ESTIMATED MORE THAN 1 BRIDGES G DOWN UNDER FORCE OF FLOODS WASHOUTS STOP TRAVEL TO NORTH INDEFINITELY Damages Reach MiIions, Eight Are Known Dead as Seven Inches Of Rain Fall Milwaukee, Aug. 6. - Wisconsin's most severe storm in years has taken a terrific toll in property and life and the end is not yet, according to. surveys made this morning. Property loss will run into millions of dollars and eight deaths are .trace- able to the storm. Blasting of larger expensive concrete bridges near West Bend, Wis., to permit a faster flow of flood waters as a necessary measure was going forward today under the direction of the American legion. More than 15 bridges on the Chi- cago and Northwestern and Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul railroads be- tween Milwaukee and Green Bay are washed away, all train service on northabranchesrdiscontinued indefin- itely and hundreds of volunteers ar aiding in the work of repairing. Waters in swollen rivers and streams from Milwaukee to Oshkosh continued to rise, flooding low. lands and taking toll of bridges, buildings and crops. Just. as the volume of water was receding after the storm of Aug. 3, heavy rains of yesterday afternoon added heavier burdens to the already overtaxed streams. Hundreds of tourists are stranded in cities and towns of the flooded area, while in Milwaukee, many per- sons are waiting an oportunity to continue journeys northward. A milk train went into the ditch at Kewskum with no casualties. Cities and towns in the flooded area so far have been able to take care of all of the families made homeless by the rushing torrents. The heaviest toll was taken in the area between Milwaukee and Fond du .Lac, where water lies in vast ponds in places that were but recently show- ing promise of yielding bounteous crops. In the face of their huge crop losses, farmers appear stotical and are waiting for the water to subside that other farm work may continue. Seven inches of rain fell at Nee- nah since Sundayfi it is reported. Other vicinities in the same area re- port unofficial rain measurements varying from 3.5 to 8 inches. Near Campbellsport, 2 miles of con- cete road has been washed away, ac- cording to latest reports. INVESTISATE CAUSES F MANUTRHITION IN EST A serious health problem is found in the malnutrition of children, ac- cording to the report of the New York Association for Improving the Condi- tions of the Poor. This society has been experimenting for the last four years on methods of combating this evil. In its experiments the society dis- covered that 30 per cent of the 2,000 apparently healthy children that they examined were suffering from malnu- trition. This condition is not due tc insufficient food, but to the constant use of improperly chosen food or the Inability of the body to make use of 'the food eaten because of insufficient air, rest, sunshine, or' some physica'. defect. The society has published a mongraph entitled "Food for the Fam- ily," containing suggestions for prop- er feeding as a means of insuring proper nutrition. Malnutrition affects the earning capacity of the individual and thus becomes a problem of impertance tc the whole country, since the reduction 4n efficiency increases the cost of liv- ing.
