ALL BRANCHES Of G. W. U.
WILL OPEN TOMORROW
Officials Are Expecting Record En-
roIment Despite the Enlistments
for Military Service.

All branches of George Washington
University will open tomorrow. De-
spite the fact that hundreds Of stu
dents have left their studies to enter
the military service, officials expect
the registration to be the largest in
the history of the university. This
situation is unique, most universities
and colleges having experienced losses
Of from half to two-thirds in enroll
ment.
The increase in registration is due
principally to the influx of govern
ment war workers. many of whom
desire to obtain higher education and
are able to attend the after-office
classes offered by the university.
These late afternoon classes COM
mence at $40 and pm.
Although the biggest increase will
be in the late afternoon classes. it is
expected the enrolment in the day
classes will also show a growth, due
to the establishment of unit of the
students army training corps. in
which nearly six hundred students
are expected to enroll. Students de-
string to enter the unit will register
in the usual way and commence their
studies tomorrow. About October /
they will be voluntarily indicted into
the service. They will receive their
tuition, their housing and subsistence,
free uniform and equipment, and the
pay of a private.
Special war courses have been ar
ranged by the law school to enable
students in this department to enroll
in the unit. These courses will in
clude internationa law, war issue and
military law.
Women are admitted to all branches
of the university, and this years en-
rollment of women is expected to be
the largest ever recorded.

DEMAND UNIVERSAL
+: TRANSFER BENEFIT
Mid City Citizens Association
to Weigh Justice Of Move to
! Increase Car Fares.
CRITIcIsE SAUL SBURY LAW

A fight for universal transfers will
be made by the Mid-City Citizens
Association when the Public Utilities
Commission meets on October to
consider the request Of the street car
companies for a straight scent fare
instead of six tickets for a quarter.
The association, at its first fall
meeting. at 1909 7th street. last night,
appointed a committee composed of
w. J. Thorne, Henry Auth and DR..
+. Abbott to attend the hearing be-
fore the commission and present the
demand that the companies be re-
quired to issue transfers between
one another's lines il they are allowed
to charge a scent straight fare.
The committee was authorized to
support the companies request Tor
a scent fare only in the event that
the evidence which they put before
the commission justities the increase
in the opinion of the committee.
Charles S. Shrevc, who presented
the street car resolution, called atten-
ton to the fact that the Washington
Railway and Electric Company spent
a big sum of money early last year
to break" the strike of it's employees.
Mr.. Shreve said he hoped it would
be brought out at the hearing what
part this strike loss played in Great
ing the situation which the company
claims makes a scent fare necessary.
Max T. Pines said he was not OPP
posed to paying a scent fare if it
will enable the companies to improve
