PLAN TO AMEND
CONSTITUTION
OF UNION FOUND
'MALE MEMBERSHIP WILL VOTE
ON EVE OI-WISCONSIN f
BATTLEI
APPROVAL IS UNANIMOUS
Board Of Directors Decides
Favorably Upon Report
Of Committee
Proposal of a new system of'
amending the Union constitution
will be submitted to the male mem-
bership of the University at a
'meeting to be called in Hill audi-
torium at the time set for the stu-
dent pep meeting on Friday night,
Oct. 26, before the Wisconsin game,
it was decided yesterday.
This was the announcement
which came forth from the special
meeting of the board of 17 direc-
tors of the Union at noon yester-
day after that body had unani-
mously adopted the report of the
committee of five appointed to sug-
gest a method of amending the
constitution which would prove
more workable than the present
system.
Report Is Full
The report submitted by the
committee and endorsed by the en-
tire board of directors provided as
follows:
"That Article XIV of the consti-
tution be amended to read:
"'A special meeting or election
of the members of the Union shall
be called by the recording secretary
upon request of a majority of the
members of the board of directors,
or of at least two hundred mem-
bers of the Union, stating with
reasonable particularity the mat-
ter or matters proposed to be con-
sidered.
"'At least ten day's notice by
suitable posting and publication
shall be given by the recording
secretary of any such special meet-
ing or election, and the notice shall
state the matter or matters pro-
posed to be considered, substantial-
ly as the same shall have been
stated in such written request. At
such meeting, or election, no action
shall be taken on any other mat-
ter.'
"That Article XV of the consti-
tution be repealed and that the
following be added as an additional
section of Article IV:
"'Seven members of the board
of. directors shall constitute a
quorum of such board.'
"And that Article XVI of the
constitution be re-numbered to be-
come Article XV and to read as
follows:
"'Amendments to this constitu-
tion, not in violation of the Articles
of Association, may be adopted only
at a special meeting or election of
the Union, after due notice as here-
inbefore provided in Article XIV,
at which meeting or election not
less than one hundred votes shall
be cast.
"'At such meeting or election the
proposed amendment or amend-
ments shall be voted on by ballot,
and a majority of two-thirds of the
votes cast at such meeting or elec-
tion shall be necessary for the
Adoption of any amendment or
amendments.'
The question of the merit system
of selecting Union officials was de-
ferred for consideration by the
committee until a later date and
in no way is connected with the

present proposal. It will be taken
up again by the committee at a
later date.
Nissen To Submit Plan
These proposals will be submitted
to the men assembled on the lower
floor of Hill auditorium at the time
of the pep meeting by William E..
Nissen, '29, president of the Union
and Kenenth Schafer, '29, record-
ing secretary.
A standing vote will be taken'
balloting being unnecessary, and if
two-thirds of those present vote in
favor of the proposition it will be-
come a portion of the constitution.

Reservations Can Be Made
Tomorrow For Trains To

FARE IS FIVE DOLLARS
Reservation for the special stu-
dent trains to be run to Columbus
and Friday and Saturday of this
week for the Ohio State-Michigan
day until just before train time,
and during the same hours each
ing until 5 o'clock that afternoon
from 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morn-
game can be made at the Union
it was announced late yesterday
afternoon by the Ann Arbor rail-
road, which is furnishing the
transportation.
Want Tickets Sold Early
Students are asked to secure
their tickets early as the railroad
would like to determine as soon as
possible the number of coaches
needed on both trains. There will
be a night train and a day train.
It is anticipated that a large
number will make use of these
trains, as the Michigan allotment
of 15,000 tickets for the game has
been sold out, and the trains will
furnish practically the only "legiti-
mate" means of travel for the stu-
dents, as the driving of automo-
biles to football games has been
banned by the University officials.
These will, without doubt, be many
adventurous youths who will
"thumb" their way down the Ohio
capital.
Fare To Be $5.00
Round trip fare for the trip will
be $5 it has been announced by the
railroad officials. For the night
train, which will be made up of
entirely of pullmans, there will be
additional prices . for the berths,
the uppers costing $6 and the low-
ers $7.50. The night train will leave
Ann Arbor at 10:30 o'clock, Fri-
day evening. It will arrive in Co-
lumbus at 3:30 o'clock the follow-
ing morning, and the occupants
may remain in the coaches until 8
o'clock Saturday evening, arriving
back in Ann Arobr at 3:45 o'clock,
Sunday morning, and the passen-
gers will not have to leave the
coaches until 8 o'clock.
The day train will leave here at
7:30 o'clock the morning of the
game, and will arrive in Columbus
at 12:30 that evening and will
be due in Ann Arbor) at 11:55 Sat-
urday night.
The trains will stop in Columbus
about two blocks from the stadium

for unloading, but will leave the
city at the time stated, from the
Union Station depot.

Not unavenged has been Michi-'
gan's defeat at the hands of the
Indiana football team Saturday,
dispatches from Bloomington indi-
cate. The suddenly inflated bubble
of Hoosier pride has already been
ignominiously burst-by men of
Michigan.
It all started Saturday evening
when Pat Page, who then thought
of himself as the victorious Hoosier
coach, staged a one-man parade
through State street and the Union,
displaying the ball with which the
winning touchdown had been made.
Pat had chalked up the score, in
the largest letters the size of the
ball permitted, and boasted to all
and sundry that by Monday the ball
would repose in state in the trophy
case back at Indiana.
Oh fickle pride! Did Pat think
that men of Michigan would permit
him so wantonly to a-d injury to
insult? Did he forget that deep
in the heart of every Michigan un-
dergraduate was ingrained the les-
son taught by the ancient incident
of the little Brown Jug at Minne-
sota? Or was he just careless?
Anyway, when Pat's lungs and
feet grew tired of parading, he
slipped the football into his suit-
case and left it in the Union check-
room-left it there unlocked.
Then there was a football din-
ner to be enjoyed, and after the
dinner forms of merriment best
known to the football players them-
selves. All this time, the suitcase
containing the trophy football was

reposing, still unlocked, in the Un-
ion checkroom.
It was late when Pat and his
charges forewent the pleasures of
ringing the welkin and hurriedly
picking up their suitcases, boarded
the Pullmans which were to carry
them back home. Little cared they
for football or football games; they
thought only of slumber.
But just now the thought of one
particular football is uppermost in
Pat's mind, for when he opened his
suitcase yesterday, he found the
ball missing. Indignantly he wired
to Michigan concerning the loss.
Officials here knew nothing of it.
Mr. Simmons, in the Union check-
room, was sure nobody had entered
to remove the ball from the bag.
But the ball had vanished.
Somewhere in the University is
a true and loyal genius-or some
genii-whose glory remains unsung.
Anonymous tribute should be paid
to the brave soul who took Pat
Page's football, to the honor of
Michigan and disgrace of Indiana.

TAKE PICTURES
FOR NEW OPERA
Cast Members Gather At Mimes
To Take Photos For Use
In Publicity
CAST WILL BE SELECTED
As the first step in advance
preparations for the 1928 Union
opera, costumers, photographers,
cast members, chorus "girls," and
many who were otherwise con-
cerned with the event, gathered at
Mimes theatre Sunday for the se-
lection of costumes for the taking
of' photographs to be used for
publicity purposes all over the
country.
Milton Peterson of the Peter
March organization of Detroit, the
institution which has charge of the
costuming for this year's show,
brought with him his staff of de-
signers, fitters, and other experts
who assisted in preparing the men
for the pictures.
In addition, Paul Stone of the
Raymour studios of Chicago, one
of the outstanding artist photo-
graphers of theatrical people in the
country, was in Ann Arbor to su-
pervise the taking of the pictures.
His staff of technicians and artists
accompanied him and assisted in
arranging the poses. Among the
students whose pictures were taken
were William Reed, '30, Harlan
Cristy, '29,William Brown, '31 and
Daniel H. Buell, '30A.
Naming of the opera is being
considered at the present time, ac-
cording to Shuter. A number of
names have been submitted, but as
yet, none has been selected. It is
probable that the name of this
year's opera will be definitely tied
up with the show rather than
merely have a remote connection
with the opera book, itself.
Final arrangements for the itin-
erary are almost complete, accord-
ing to Paul Buckley, general man-
ager of the Union, who has charge
of arrangements for thehopera.
Buckley stated yesterday that all
probability the itinerary will be
made public by the end of this
week.
Gridgraph To Be Used
At HillAuditorium
Continuing a feature of the foot-
ball season that it has carried out
for many years past, the Alumni
association of the University will
this year show the gridgraph at
Hill auditorium on the days of
Michigan's two out-of-town games,
it was .announced yesterday after-
noon by the association.
The Gridgraph is an apparatus
which, with the use of lights, shows
every play, the position of the ball,
and the players taking the prin-
cipal part in each play, just as
the details are received by wire
from the stadium where the game
is being played.

Zeppelin Will Land At Lakehurst
After 6,000 Mile Trip From
Friedrichschafen
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Oct. 15-Graf Zep-
pelin, proud aristocrat of a long
lineage of aircraft, cruised trium-
phantly up the mid-Atlantic coast
today to show herself to millions of
Americans who had followed with
intense interest and some anxiety
the progressof her record-breaking
voyage from Friedrichschafen, Ger-
many.
The great silver ship made her
bow to the waiting continent at
9:45 o'clock this morning, eastern
standard time, when she was sight-
ed from Cape Charles, Va., north-
ern promontory of-the entrance to
Chesapeake Bay. Behind her were
not only 6,000 miles of land and
water, but anxious moments when
a damaged horizontal fin had ford-
ed her to reduce speed, and long
hours of battling of winds that
were conspiring to keep her from
her goal.
Arrives-.At 10:10 A. M.
Triumphant over wind, weather
and ocean, she slipped over the
American coast at 10:10 a. m. at
a point six .miles north of Cape
Charles, and from then on, with
journeys end in sight, the sturdy
motors bore her comfortably over
the densely populated coastal plain.
She paid her formal respects to
Washington at about 12:30 p. m.
gliding over capitol and White
House beneath an overcast sky, and
then slipped north to visit Balti-
more, Wilmington, Philadelphia,
Trenton and New York, passing a 
she went many smaller communi-
ties which, like their more populous
neighbors, saluted the vigorous voy-
ager from the street and house top.
It had indeed been a noteworthy
voyage, for at 2 p. m., when the
dirigible was over Elkton, Md., she
broke the world's mark of 108 hours
in the air, set for craft of her type
by the British R-34 in her west-
ward flight. She had also smashed
the distance record, for her mileage
was in the neighborhood of 6,500
miles.
Is First Commercial Flight
Graf Zeppelin, making the first
commercial flight across the At-
lantic, lifted her huge self aloft at
Friedrichschafen last Thursday
morning at 2 o'clock, eastern stand-
ard time .
Saturday proved to be a day of
anxiety for, that morning there
came a flash from the ship herself
that she had to reduce speed to re-
pair a damaged horizontal fin, part
of her stablizing equipment.
For several hours there was un-
certainty ashore as to how badly
the dirigible had been iurt, but
fears were relieved by a message
saying that temporary repairs had
been made and the ship was bear-
ing on toward Bermuda.
Seven o'clock this morning it was
to be the last day of her flight. She
was reported 100 miles east of Cape
Hatteras, and two and three-quar-
ters later came the flash that
America had been awaiting: "Graf
Zeppelin sighted off Cape Charles."
Hog Island, Va., spotted the silver
gray monster at 10:15 this morn-

ing.'
New York did not know until
mid-afternoon whether Graf Zep-
pelin would pay her respects to the
metropolis, but when the word was
flashed that she intended to swing
over the skyscrapers, the city pre-
pared an impromptu welcome. The.
city's official welcome to the dirig-
ible's officers, crew and passengers
> is scheduled for tomorrow when
they arrive at Lakehurst.
