Comedy Club To
Start Year Today
Comedy club will officially open its
1919-20 season with the tryouts to be
held from 1:30 to 3:30 o'clock this
afternoon in the auditorium of Uni-
versity hall. The tryouts consist of
short selections either impromptu or
of the candidate's own choosing to be
given before 'a committee of five
iudges. Wherever possible, tryouts
are recommended to give some selec-
tion they have already worked on.
Plans for the ensuing year of the
club embrace a series of monthly
meetings at which available people cif
the stage will speak and short, infor-
mal plays will be given by the mem-
bers before the rest of -the club. It
is hoped in this way to give every
member a chance to appear at least
once on the stage before an audience
no matter how unpretentious the pro-
duction may be. In addition, the an-
nual 'comedy will be presented in true
theatrical fashion during the year.
The . first meeting of the club will
be held the first Tuesday in Novem-
ber.

OLD TIMES
Charles Lang Freer, famous art col-
lector of Detroit, whose will, probated
Oct. 8, 1919, contained a bequest of
$50,000 to the University, the income
of which is to , be used in research
work in oriental art here, is responsi-
'le for several other gifts to the Uni-
<ersity.
In 1909, while in Egypt, he bought
four documents of the Bible which
upon the ascertainment that they
were extraordinarily rare and valu-
able were turned over to Prof. Henry
,A. Sanders of the classical department.
Dpcuments Photographed .
Two of the documents photograph-
ed page by page and published in
heliotype form in volumes eight and
nine of the University of Michigan
studies, humanistic series, one at an
expense of $14,000 and the other cast-
ing $8,000. The outlay for this was
given by Mr. Freer on the condition
that a copy of each of these books,
worth at least $75 apiece, should be
distributed by the University without
any charge to all of the important
libraris- of the world, principally
those of universities, none of them to,
be sold to private collectors.
$30,000 Expended
Mr. Freer also paid for the publish-
ing of volumes 10 and 12 of the Uni-
versity of Michigan studies, humanis-
tic series, which together with volumes
8 and 9,'represented a disbursement of
more than $30,000. When the Alumni
Memorial hall was first opened., he
furnished the exhibition, containing a
remarkable congeries of Japanese art,
bearing the cost entailed thereby
amounted to a considerable sum. 1\fr.
Wilfred B. Shaw, general secretary
of the Alumni association, described
the exhibition as a very notable art
display. Mr. Freer also donated a
sketch of John H. Twachtman which
is hung in Mr. Shaw's office in AlumIli
Memorial hal.
Mr. Freer was honored by the Uni-
versity with the degree pf master of
arts in 1904.
PROF. DAVIS TO BE
LIT FRESH ADVISOR
Dean John R. Effinger of the liter-
ary cplleg@, announced Friday that
Prof. . 0. DgIs, chairman of the
'freshman advisory committee, will be
in room $, University hall, for consult-
ation from .145 to 3;15 'clQOk every
Wednesday afternoon. First year stu-
dents desiring to consult Professor
Davis about their work may do so at
this time,
In connection with the work of the
advisory committee, which has been
revived this year, Dean Elffinger
strongly advises freshmen to consult
their instructors. They are at all
times willing to give advice and by
reason of their acquaintance with the
individual student are in a position to
do so. Students having special prob-
lems should see Professor Davis.

leagues in the Ann Arbor Musical so-
ciety have completed arrangements

,Iven during the year in Hill audi-
torium.
The new series will be conducted in-'
dependently of the present'Choral un-
ion concerts and May festival series
and will include a number of attrac-
tive programs which will add great
variety to the musical offerings on ac-
count of the limited number in the reg.-
ular series heretofore.
Five Programs Planned
There will be five programs in the
list of concerts including two popular
ensemble combinations, as well as r-J
citals by prominent singers and i-1
strumentalists.
The series as a whole is as follows:
Nov. 6.-Alexandro Bonci, the fam~-
ous Italian opera tenor, landed in New
York Tuesday, after an absence of se>
eral years. His artistic song recital inl
University hall a number of years ago
was an outstanding attraction. lie
will be assisted by Eleanor Brock. the
American sobrano well known as "The.
Nightingale of the South.k"
Dec. 15.-The New York Chamber
Music society, consisting of eleven .ex-
cellent musicians, including piano,
wind and string instrument. The
press of the country has been unani-
mous in-according it firsf place among
organizations of its kind. It will pro-
vide a program of soli, duets, trios '
and other ensemble combinationsi
Jan.23.-Mischa Levitski,sthe ,ds-
tinguished Russian pianist, whose todY
last season aroused a furore every-
where. He ranks very high among
piano virtuosi.j
Feb. 28.-Carolina Lazzari, the re-
markable' contralto of the Chicago5
Opera company. Her song recials are
considered to tae on a par with her
artistic operatic achievements.
' Famons Trio to Appear t
March 31.-Trio deLutece, consist-'
ing of George Barrere, the country's
leading, flutist; Carlos Salzedo, the re-
nowned harpist; and Paul Kefer
'cellist. This organization will offer a
program of soli, duet and trio num-
bers..
This extra series in contradistin-1
tion to, the other series will be mate-7
rially lower in price for course tick-I
ets, namely, $3.50, $3.00, $2.50, and
$2.00. Mail orders will be filled in or-+
der of receipt and tickets will be
selected as nearly as possible, from
the 'location desired.
BANK EXPLAINS ITS
RULING ON CHECKS
AccountN of transients will be the
only ones affected by the ruling of
the Ann Arbor bank regarding the
amount of each check, according to!
Carl F. Braun, vice-president of the
bank. In some cases where paynientj
of a bill is made through the mail, Mr.*
Braun stated that it would be all,
right for the check to be under the
specified amount;
"A.ll that we want," said Mr. Braun,
"is that the students should meet us
halfway. We want to be.of service
to the students and in order to ap-
proach breaking even on the tran-
sient deposits, it is necessary for us
to ask them to write checks for moreI
than $5. Such a system worked lastd
year, and we believe that it will work I
this y ear."

ATTACK LETTISH FORCES.'
(By Associated Press)
Copenhagen. Oct. 10.-British and
French war ships in the harbor of
Riga have cleared for action, accord-
-ing to a despatch from Riga to the-
Lettish information bureau on ac-
count of the attack by Germans under
the command of General Von der
Goltz upon the Lettish army defend-
ing Riga.
German troops together with Rus-
sians attached the' Letts 30 miles
from Riga and. occupied Schlotsk,
which is' outside the Demarcation
land, according to a report issued by
the Lettish Bureau at Riga.
The report adds that the attack was
repulsed with sanguinary losses.
The forces of General Von der
Goltz include Imperial German troops
with tanks and airplanes, it is report-
ed which adds that the Germans at-
tempted to bomb Riga but were re-
pulsed. The Letts claim that their
losses were small.
A state of siege has been proclaim-
ed at Riga as a -precautionary meas-
ure.
Reserves are being formed among
those who are unable to go to the
front. Soldiers who were starting to
the front were pelted with flowers.
The Letts in addition to claiming
to have inflicted sanguinary losses on
the enemy and to have destroyed an
armoured train declared- they cut up
two companies of Germans with their
machine gun fire.
Another despatch from Riga says
Lettish soldiers who have been fight-
ing with the British and French at
Archangel have just arrived at Riga'
and rushed to the front.
The fighting continues on'the whole
of thee front.

Student demand is responsible for
e carrying in stock of the unof-
cial da;'k blue and yellow color con-
foato:a, according to statements
made yesterday by .several ,Ann Arbor
%erchants dealing in pepnants, ban-
:irs and other Michigan insignia.
While the true colors of "maize and
blue" are carried in stock, it was stat-
ed that nine out of ten students pre-
fer the darker colors:. Dealers say
that tizy are only attempting to satis-
fy the wa.its of the students in this
matter.
Teams Use Dark Colors
The dark blue and yellow is that
adopted by the Athletic association
in preference to the University colors
as they were deemed, imupractical for
athletic wear. Michigan teams since
the early nineties have worn the dark
blue and according to -P. G. Bartelme
it would be advisable to have' one col-
or for both student body and Athletic
association.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Deadlock in
the icommittee 15 or the "steering
committee" overtlabor's proposal to
arbitrate the steel strike brought
about adjournment today .of the Na-
tional Industrial conference until
Tuesday. In the meantime the steer-
ing committee will hold a meeting in
an attempt to agree on a report to
lay before the members when it re-
assembles.
Adjournment -eame after the con-
ference had received the proposal of
the employers group declaring for the
principle of the open shop.and affirm-
ing that "no enployer should be re-
quired to deal with men or groups of
men who are not his employes or
chosen by and from among them." The
latter principle created quite a stir
in the conference and was considered
by some of the delegates as approval
of the stand taken by Judge Elbert H.
Gary, 'chairman of the United States
Steel corporation inSrefusing to meet
the st el strikers.j
Other principles enunciated in the
declaration of the employers in-
clude:
Acceptance of the right of strike or
lockout, excepting in the case of gov-
ernment employes; opposition to sym-
-pathetic strikes and lockouts; insist-
ence on the function of management
in directing industry; emphasis .,of
shop unions as proposed to the in-
dustrial council proposed by organ-
ized labor and declaration that co-
operative action between capital and
labor should be worked out in indi-
The traditions that surround the
"maize and blue" are deep in the
I earts of Michigan men and tlis is
appreciated by those selling pennants
and banners of the unoflicial colors,
but as they are only acting in ac-
cordance with the student demand for
the darker color it is the student sel-
ection that will have to change if the
proper colors are to be observed.
AzureLiked for Jewelry
Storekeepers state that it is only
with the stationery and jewelry bear-
ing the official colors of the Univer-
sity that a favorable demand is felt
and that in the case of these articles
the azure blue is most often the selec-
tion of the students.
The general opinion among the busi-
ness men operating student stoies i
that the students should observe the
offlicial colors and according to these
storekeepers the solution of the mat-
ter lies in the selection of the prop-
er colors on the part of the student.
