STUDENTS MORE NUMEROUS WITH BUSINESS SLACK Indiana’s Universities and Colleges Expect New Records in Enrollment. Advance registrations at a majority of the twenty-one colleges and universities in Indiana indicate that enrollments will be larger than ever, it is revealed in a survey by *ne United Press. Nearly all the Jehads anticipated record freshmen classes and expect last year’s juniors and sophomores will return with no depletion in their ranks. The depression, instead of minimizing the number of students, will amplify it. One registrar said: “Students who might otherwise be employed in business, will return to school because they are unable to find jobs. "They realize that college training will be more vital than ever when conditions become normal.” The state’s largest institutions,” it is apparent, will have capacity enrollments. Notre Dame, where entrance requirements have been raised repeatedly to lessen the number of students, again will have more applications than can be accepted. At Purdue, Registrar R. B. Stone reports that advance registrations higher than in the corresponding period last year. He predicts a larger freshman class and believes up-per-classmen will return with few withdrawals. New High Mark Central Normal college at Danville, which has already opened its fall term, reported a twenty per cent increase. The enrollment, Waldo Wood, registrar, said, has broken records for the past twelve terms. "Present indications point to a higher enrollment for both freshmen and upper-classmen this year,” W. M. Blanchard, registrar of DePauw university, said. It is pointed out that where the number of upper-classmen increases, it usually indicates a return of students who withdrew during some previous year. More than 425 freshmen have applied at Butler university, an increase over the corresponding period of last year. Approximately 1,100 under-graduates have returned cards indicating they expect to enroll, Sarah E. Cotton, registrar, said. > Enroll at Same Rate Freshman registration at Evansville college similar to last year, with idications that other students will return in about equal numbers, Charles Torbet, registrar, announced. At Indiana State Teachers’ college, Terre Haute, where classes do not begin until Oct. 4, it was impossible for Mary Ferguson, registrar to estimate the 1931 enrollment. Preliminary registration blanks have started to arrive, however, she said, and thus far there has oeen no decrease. A somewhat similar condition existed at Rose Polytechnic institute, Terre Haute, where freshmen will not register until the opening day of school, Tuesday. Mary Gilbert, registrar, said she was unable to predict what the enrollment would be. Advance registrations at Hanover college were 15 per cent higher this year, Albert G. Parker, registrar, reported. He believes the enrollment will be somewhat higher. Parker pointed out that the only probable effect the depression would have on students would be In curtailment of spending money. “Conditions will have to be worse than they are now before college enrollments fall off,” he said.

New Theory Held Regarding Death of Four Persons By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 12. Abandoning a theory that Noble Johnson drove his automobile in front of a speeding Big Four passenger train bringing death to himself and three other persons, authorities believe the automobile was pushed on the tracks by an accidental rear-end collision with another car. The tragedy occurred Aug. 23, when a celebration in connection with the American Legion state convention was at its peak.' Johnson’s automobile was demolished and parts of mangled bodies were strewn along the tracks for two blocks. Other victims were Miss Margaret Van Ermen, Miss Eula Steele and Herman Johnson. Other Car Unidentified Although it was at first presumed that Johnson started across the tracks unaware of the approaching train, investigators have discovered that another car was at the scene of the tragedy and disappeared before officers arrived. Presence of broken windshield glass north of the tracks which does not correspond to the glass in the demolished automobile, statements made of two women and a physician have caused the probe to assume anew angle. It is now believed the Johnson automobile was stopped to wait for the train to pass when it was struck by another automobile and shunted on the tracks in front of the locomotive. Nine other persons, several of whom were women, were drinking in the other car, it is claimed. Two local women who are believed to have been riding in the missing automobile have been questioned by police and Dr. S. J. Stottlemyer, Madison county coroner. When first interviewed, one of the women admitted there was a collision at the crossing, but when she was quizzed a second time she said she was so intoxicated she did not remember what happened. Woman’s Story Recalled The other woman, who left Anderson for an unknown destination before authorities sought to examine her a second tims, told a more complete story. She said she was in an automobile with a party of visiting Legionnaires when it struck the Johnson automobile and pushed it on the tracks. She said the driver swerved when he saw the automobile in front of him, but he acted too late to avoid collision. Their automobile ran a considerable distance, paralleling the tracks before it was stopped, the woman said. "The men got out and pushed the car back to the street, and we drove au r ay from the scene, riding on side streets back to the business district,” investigators,were told. Two hours later Dr. David King attended three men who presumably were occupants of the mystery automobile and suffered injuries in the collision. The men did not give their names. The physician believes they were visitors at the legion convention. The missing automobile is said to have carried lowa license plates. Motorist Outruns Bandits By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 12. Commanded to stop by two armed bandits. Clay Frost speeded his automobile and a chase ensued.

there is not one modem convenience in the place.” Continuing. Elrich said: “The keeper, Ray Hooe, is not trained in hospital work. He has a political plum that not only pays him SIOO a month but allows him all crops he raises on the forty acres surrounding the house.” Despite the annual cost of SIO,OOO, only twenty-three patients were in the institution during the past year, according to Elrich. He advocates building a city contagious disease hospital. Mayor Frank Griese opposes the hospital “because such a thing is always a hotbed of political graft.”

Unemployed Men Fill Many Hours in Various Ways By Times Special KOKOMO. Ind., Sept. 12.—Gardening, faising chickens, odd jobs around homes, assisting wives in canning fruit and vegetables and fishing are answers to the question, what do the unemployed of this city do to pass away the days with no job awaiting them each morning? Observers say more vegetables have bee nraised on back lots this year than ever in the history of the city. Many other idle men have turned io raising chickens both for meat and eggs. A little cash is earned by making repairs and improvements for neighbors, cutting grass, washing and tuning up automobiles and endless family tasks. Painting automobile tops for passing motorists on the public square has kept one man busy most of the summer. He earns 50 cents for each job. Much fruit and vegetables have been preserved in home kitchens, and while many men don’t care to admit it, husbands out of jobs have helped with the work. With much idle time on their hands, many unemployed may be found along the banks of Wildcat creek and stone quarry holes seeking fish for the larder. Baseball playing on vacant lots is another diversion that has a large following. Physicians state that the strain of being idle for long periods soon tell on those happier when busy.
