FEWER co-Eos AT U. OF M.
Millman Murder Believed to Have
Some Effect on Notable Decrease


Ann Arbor. Mich. Oct. 20.--can u be
that the murder of Maybelle Mlllmar
of this city i'm Detroit and the dismem-
berment of her body has any thing TO
do with the falling off in the number
of co-eds in this years freshman
class at the university?
When the papers were filed with the
news of the shocking affair many Of
them stated that the murdered girl
was student OF the university. AS n
matter of fact she not only never at
tended the university. but was not
even n graduate of the local high
school. Especially in the east. how
ever. much damage was done by the
publication of the statement that she
was n coed.
A eastern girl at the university
said:

Intended to enter Michigan this fail
but whose parents insisted they e
elsewhere after the newspapers had
printed the story OF the Millman mu''
der. The story appealed to them more
from the fact that all the eastern pa
ners stated that Miss Millman was
coed. I think that story lost many
desirable co-eds to Michigan.
