A Michigan student pays in fees to the University during his first year $2.r less than a student frora out of the State and as a result numerous persons pretend to be from Michigan when they have little or no claims to such a residence. Sorne come into the State and stay a few months. Others give Ann Arbor as thair address and say they have no other home while a few deliberately falsify. In talking to The Registek Secretary Wade said,: "It is surprising to see the number of students who give their residences as Michigan and have no right to do so. Every day we refuse to enter twenty or thirty as Michigan students who claim to be such. Most of theru are honest in their belief that tney have a residence in this state while a few deliberately he. I can almost always teil if a student is trying to deceive. One man when he come to entering his residenco hesitated and finally wrote Alpena. I began to question him. He said he had been there six months as a sawmill hand. He could not teil in whose miJl he had worked and could not name anv busi ness men there. At last he said ; 'O ! I've told you enough lies,' '{ know that,' I replied. 'Now take a new blank and register from Cacada where jou belong. ' And he did so. "There are some very difficult cases to docíde. For instance, a student sa.vs he has no resideuco. We usually show that he ha.s no home in Michigan and that settles it. Then the son of an army officer will come in and say he does not know where his home is, as his father goes everywhere ordered. This is a very difficult case to eecide. "UDe man gave his home address as an Indiana towu, but said he was ai Michigan student. He said his parents got their mail in Indiana, but that they Jiyed just iioruss the line in Michigan. I found bis story true and tot him in as a Michigan.' iiün"Many caaes cannot be decided at once and we have to let tham in as Michigan student?, and afterinvestigation cali them up and make them pay the extra fees."
