Duey, assisted by the Brass Ensemble, will present its annual summer concert at 4 p.m. Sunday in Hill Auditorium. The Choir is made up of 55 choral conductors from high schools and colleges throughout U' Officials Predict Drop In Enrollment University enrollment this fall is expected to take about a 3,000 student drop from last year's en- rollment figure. Most estimates place Septem- ber's resident student body be- tween 16,000 and 17,000. The Uni- versity budget was based on the 16,000 figure. * * * HOWEVER University officials were quick to point out that un- der present world conditions, any estimate has to be made with an eye to revision. In the past official estimates at this time of the year proved to be correct wtihin two or three per cent, according to University spokesmen, but no one will claim that kind of accuracy for this year's estimate. Gayle C. Wilson, assistant di- rector of admissions, said that all indications point to a freshman class as large as last year's. "We expect the cuts to come in the junior and senior classes," Wilson said. The fact that no new veteran students will be enrolled is not ex- pected to affect the number of the freshmen matriculations. The number of veterans who came to the University for the first time last fall accounted for only a small part of the freshman class, so the death of the GI Bill will not materially change the size of this year's class. But applications for admission to the University indicate that there may be a drop in transfer students-veteran and non-vet- eran-this fall. * . * FACULTY CUTS scheduled for Che fall will probably not affect ',freshman classes. If anticipated drops materialize in the upper grades some sections of large sophomore and junior chsses will be dropped. Unlike most universities in the country, the University English department does not see any drop in enrollment or classroom sched- ,,ules. Arthur E. Lean, assistant di- rector of the extension service, said that he expects a very slight drop in participation in the extension service program. Most extension classes are at- tended by people not liable to be affected by the draft, Lean as- serted. But accurate pre-enrollment estimates are almost impossible to make for extension courses, be- cause most students sign up for them when they open without go- ing through any admission proce- dure. * * * IF T H E WORLD situation ;doesn't blow up all college plans for the future, the present enroll- ment drop is expected to last only a few years. Educators believe that many men now in the armed forces will head for college once their tour of duty is up. About the same time they ex- pect this to happen, the first of the "war babies" will be ready to head for college. These two factors combined with the increased capacity of public high schools and the growing social recognition of the Value of college education are ex- pected to put college enrollment at a high level for 10 or 15 years. - - - - , I- the country who are doing ad- vanced work at the University. * * * THE BRASS Ensemble, which wil play several selections from the Salvation Army library of brass band music, is composed of 24 members of the Summer Ses- sion Band and directed by James Neilson. Neilson, professor of music education at Oklahoma City University, is a guest lecturer in wind instrument instruction here this summer. In the first part of the program, the choir will present "0 Re- joice, Ye Christians Loudly" and "There is a Balm in Gilead," by Bach. Arthur Tennant, tenor, will be featured soloist in the second selection. A spiritual, "Sheep and Lambs" May Safely Graze," and "Go Lovely Rose," by Eric Thi- man will be sung next, followed by Randall Thompson's "Allelu- lia." "Festival March," by Soler- strom will be the first selection of the Brass Ensemble, in the second part of the program, followed by "Prelude on the Hymn 'St. Ann,' " by Ball; "March of the Swedish Soldiery," -by Osthy; and "March, The King's Highway," by Leizden. * * * FEATURED IN t h e second group of selections by the choir will be Brahms' "Lieberlieder, Op. 52," written for four hands at one piano and voices, in which Grace Hanninen and James Perry will accompany the Choir. The concluding number will be "O Saviour, Throw the Heavens Wide" from a Motet based on an old chorale theme by Brahms. 'U' Doctors To Visit Deninark Dr. Thomas Francis, Jr., of the public health school and Dr. James L. Wilson, of the medical school will participate in the sec- ond International Poliomyelitis Conference to be held from Sept. 3,to 7 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The distribution of polio virus in a community during a polio epidemic will be discussed by Dr. Francis, chairman of the Depart- ment of Epidemiology in the pub- lic health school. He has directed a research project aimed at find- ing a chemical means of prevent- ing or controlling polio since 1941. Dr. Wilson, chairman of the Department of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases will pre- sent a paper related to polio treat- ment entitled "Management of Respiratory Insufficiency." Dr. Wilson is supervisor of the new respiratory center recently estab lished at the University Hospital in conjunction with the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly- sis. The center, third of its kind in the country, will provide extensive facilities for polio research. Socialized Rubber Seen byCollyer AKRON, Ohio-(P)-The rubber industry in the United States to- day is "completely socialized" in the fields of supply and usage, John L. Collyer, president of the B. F. Goodrich Co. asserted here last night. He told a news conference that "the Government owns the rubber producing plants; procures the raw materials and schedules pro- duction; is the only buyer and importer of crude rubber; deter- mines the amounts of rubber that may be consumed by manufactur- ers; sets specifications for the use of rubber, and determines the price." Collyer urged the appointment of' a Presidential commission to study thecproblem and "develop a policy of competition in rubber." Fake Bills Multiply DETROIT- () -The Secret Service warned yesterday that counterfeit bills are on the in- crease in Michigan. In light of the West Point crib- bing scandal, colleges across the country have been taking second looks at their honor systems, and here at the University Dean George G. Brown of the engi- neering college has nothing but praise for the 35-year-old en- gineering honor code. Although he declined to com- ment specifically on the West Point developments, Dean Brown declared that there was no danger of a breakdown in the engineer's code which controls the 2,400 stu- dents in his unit. * * * THE ENGINEERING honor code was established in 1916 at the request of engine school stu- dents. It has been in operation HIPS OFF BY HYPNOSIS: Psychological Aid May Help In Reduction of Overweight By FELICIA BROWNE From the pleasingly plump to the outright obese, overweight people are getting psychological aid in their attempts to reduce, although psychiatrists and local psychology professors have ex- pressed their doubts as to the ul- timate worth of the experiments. The soothing voice of a "mas- ter hypnotist" is reportedly in- strumental in removing pounds from the overweight in Chicago, while at the same time Fat People Anonymous groups patterned aft- er Alcoholics Anonymous have sprung up all over the country. * * ,' IN AN EIGHTH floor office building, the syrupy tones of Ed- win L. Baron, hypnotist issue, commands to a group of fat wo- men. Baron, who insists that his work is purely a "research proj- ect," reports amazing success and his patients make varying claims for the power of hypnosis. One woman, who lost 16 lbs. in two weeks, boasted, "I've lost ab- solutely al ltaste for sweets and in-between snacks. It's helped my bronchial asthma too," she added, "and I sleep nights." Prof. Roger Heyns, of the psy- chology department, expressed lack of faith in such testimonials. "Any patent medicine in 'the country can get testimonials even if it only contains water," he said. * * * PROF. HEYNS seemed more fa- vorably impressed with the idea of Fat People Anonymous. A group of this nature where one can meet and discuss mutual problems with others will afford companionship and affection. In their loneliness, many people turn to overeating to make up for lack of attention," he explained. One demure coed when inter- viewed yesterday seemed dubious about the idea of a get-together plan. "Whenever a bunch of wo- men meet, whether for bridge or to discuss their operation, some- one always starts to pass around refreshments," she explained. ever since that time, except for the brief period of time during World War II when most of the students were military personnel. The system is under the direc- tion of a student honor committee which hears cases of alleged cheating, and hands down a ver- dict which is submitted to the faculty for final action. Dean Brown asserts that the faculty makes virtually no changes in the recommenda- tions of the student committee. A pledge is written on the blue- books by the students, saying that they have received no aid during the exam, and the professor leaves the room as soon as test questions are passed out. Students are allowed to come and go greely, and to talk quietly in the examination room. "The secret of success of the system," Dean Brown points out, "is that it is run entirely by the students." Dean Brown maintains that a proctor system instills wrong mo- tives in the students, giving them incentive to see how much they can get away with. T H E UNIVERSITY Medical School also has a student honor system that has been in effect for about 25 years. Officials report that in this "a strong feeling that each student's personal reputation is at stake has been developed over the years." The proctor system has been used in other University schools and colleges, and authorizes re- port that there have been no stu- dent moves to institute a general honor system. i -Daily-L.

In a cleanup, sweep-up tour of the rooms vacated by teachers en- rolled in six-week education cours- es almost nothing was reported left behind. "Nothing has been turned in yet," Charles G. Lareau, business manager of the West Quad noted yesterday. "This is not at all un- usual for the summer crowd- they're older, don't keep as many souvenirs, and don't 'borrow' those huge construction blocks from the South Quad to build elaborate bookcases which we have to cart away," he said. s t . "DURING THE regular semes- ter our undergrads leave all sorts of valuables' behind when they go home at the end of the semes- ter," he explained. One student makes us an an- nual gift of a skull which during the term ornaments his room complimented by a mop for hair. He seems hesitant about taking the thing home," Lareau added. "The visiting teachers don't seem to get into the spirit of things," Lareau commented, "they don't even bother with pin-ups." Lareau's comments were second- ed by an official at Alice Lloyd Hall who reported very little had been turned up by maids cleaning the vacated rooms. "During the regular year the women leave practically every kind of clothing article as well as ink, golf balls and stale crackers," she said. One student even left the upper plate of her false teeth, Mrs. Mar- garet Vedder, -the housekeeper, added. Vandenberg Plans To VisitSelfridge MT. CLEMENS, Mich. - (P) - Gen. Hoyt S.
