BATETALKS BEFORE~ SOCIOLOGICAL GRO U P "The better type of social work- ers have dug deep and have found the oft obscure causes of many of our social ills," declared Dean Henry M. Bates, of the Law school, last night before the annual Michi- gan State Conference of Social Work meeting held at the Union, continuing today and tomorrow. "They know better than do lay- men the complex of conditions and factors which produce plague spots in our cities," Dean Bates contin- ued. "The social worker can prob- ably make the greatest single con- tribution to the successful study of the crime situation which is ter- rifying and horrifying the Ameri- can people today.," After Dean Bates' address in which he discussed the relationship of the professions to social work, the conference heard Dr. C. C. Carstens, of New York city, execu- tive director of the Child Welfare league of America, and a prominent authority on social work, who spoke on "Education, Professional Train- ing, and Placement in Social Work." Today's program to which the' TAXICAB COMPANI BUSINESS AS JUNIO Taxicab companies reported a record-breaking business yesterday afternoon, and fraternity pledges were reported running around the rainy streets without the protec- tion of trench-coats or even slickers. Which goes to show that yester- day was no ordinary day. The rain was nothing unusual for Ann Ar- bor's pluvial clime, as even fresh- men are learning by this time. And Ann Arbor people are so inured to the elements that they merely buckle up their coats and face the sheets of downpouring water with- out a thought to taking refuge in a taxi. But when slickerless fresh- men are seen skulking along the INLANDER TO PRESENT LINDSAY RECITAL ERE Reputation Assured With Success Of First Publication Of "Congo" POET HAS VARIED CAREER Preacher of the "Gospel of Beau- ty" and trader of rhymes for bread, Vachel Lindsay, America's trouba- dor poet, will appear at 8 o'clock tonight in Hill auditorium under the auspices of the Inlander lecture series. Admission will be 75 cents. This is the same lecture series which has sponsored the appear- ance here in former years of Amy Lowell, Louis Untermeyer, Carl Sandburg, Alfred Kreybourg, Ham- lin Garland, and Dorothy Canfield. It was revived last spring and is being continued again this fall. Lindsay has also appeared here once previously under the auspices of the series. The possessor of a rich back- ground and an education dating back to an excellent training and culture in his younger days, Lind- say was by choice and intent a pen and ink designer. In pursuit of this vocation, he studied first at the Chicago Art Institute and later at the William E M. Chase Art school of New York City. H also had work in the Metropolitan Art museum of that city. From this work; Lindsay be- came a lecturer on the history of art. 'iring of lectures, Lindsay has within the past 15 years branched forth on a career, more romantic and more intriguing, perhaps, than that of any other American literary figure. With the publication of the "Con- go" his reputation as a poet was assured. Since then he has been in constant demand as a reader of his works. Included in his works are four pamphlets now out of print, "Tramp's Excuse," "Village Magazine," "Rhymes to Be Traded for Bread," and "Soul of the City Receives the Gift of the Holy Spirit." Gridgraph To Display Ohio Football Game Students of the University who do not attend the Michigan-Ohio State grid contest this Saturday will have two means of securing the results of the game, play by play. There will be the gridgraph at Hill Auditorium, which is being sponsored by the Alumni associa- tion, and radio broadcastingthat will be sent out by three stations. The Ohio State radio station, WEHO, is among those that will broadcast the game play by play. The other two stations are WGN of Chicago and WWJ of Detroit. ES REPORT RECORD IRS HOLD ELECTION streets and taxis at the same time are carrying record-breaking crowds, something is indeed hap- pening. Yesterday it was junior elec- tions. Various factions had no thought of letting inclement weather interfere with their get- ting full votes on their respective tickets. So numerous students found it easy to get free taxi rides to Natural Science auditorium. And a free taxi ride, even through the rain and not in the direction of a sorority house or dormitory, is not to be scoffed at, especially here in Ann Arbor where taxi wars have yet to permeate. But fraternities did not care to hire cabs, for the most' part. Aft- er communications with Joe Burs- ley and Paul Kern, the Student Council factotum, had convinced them that juniors could not have freshmen pledges vote for them by proxy, they decided to make sure that there would be plenty of rain coats for the juniors to wear down to the election by corraling all those that belonged to pledges. That is why freshmen had only old suits and pots to protect them- selves from the rain yesterday. Yes, yesterday saw strange sights. But praise be to campus politicians (and taxis and slickers) a full vote was cast. WJR WILL BROADCAST THIRD MICHIGAN NIGHT Popular Musical Program To Be Furnished By Union Dance Orchestra PRES. LITTLE TO TALK Broadcasting from the studio room on the fourth floor of Uni- versity hall, the third Michigan Night radio program of the cur- rent series will be on the air be- twen 7 and 8 o'clock tonight through station WJR-WCX, the Richards Oakland Co.'s "Good- Will Station" of Detroit.

HOLBROOK FAVORS SMALLER QUORUM IN AMENDING U N I O N CONSTITUTION "I am heartily in favor of the proposed amendment making a quorum of 100 necessary to amend the constitution instead of 600, as experience has shown us the im- practicability of the older method," Prof. Evans Holbrook, of the lew school, declared yesterday in dis- cussing the proposed amendment to the Union constitution. The newly proposed change in the Union constitution would change the number necessary to constitute a quorum at a Union assembly from 600 as at present to 100 while retaining the provision that two-thirds of those present must vote in favor of an amend- ment in order to secure its adop- tion. "While at one time, it was com- paratively easy to gather a full quorum of 600 at the Union ban- quets held in old Waterman gym- nasium," Professor Holbrook con- tinued, "these were an annual in- stitution in the early years of the Union to which prominent speak- ers were. invited and at which a thousand to twelve hundred stu- dents were in attendance. "We now, due to change in cus- tom as well as to a lack of ban- quets, have no yearly meeting at which a large portion of the cam- pus is in attendance and at which issues of the time may be brought SOPRANO WILL APPEAR IN SECONDoF SERIES Madame Galli-Curci To Be Assisted In Choral Union Concert By Pianist And Flutist HAS LOCAL PROMINENCE Amelita Galli-Curci, popular co- loratura soprano, will appear in a concert here Monday as the second artist on the current choral union series. She will be assisted by her husband, Homer Samuels, pianist and Ewald Haun, flutist. Madam Galli-Curci has been heard in Ann Arbor twice before. Many local music lovers still re- member her first appearance here when officials recognized her ability early in her career and following her well known Chicago ovation more than ten years ago, they im- mediately extended a contract to her to appear on the May festival. Illiness prevented her keeping the contract, but she appeared on the regular concert series here the fol- lowing fall. Four years ago Madam Galli- Curci was again heard in a recital in Ann Arbor and received a great ovation, according to those who were present. Her appearance onI the program this year is the result of many requests which have been obtained by Charles A. Sink, presi- dent of the University musical so- ciety that she sing here again. Although the program for the concert has not yet been announ- ced, it was stated yesterday that she has arranged a special pro- gram, which she believes will be popular with the audience here. It will probably include several arias and certain of her own favorite songs, with piano accompaniments and flute obligato. up, discussed and voted upon. "Therefore the committee (of which Professor Holbrook was the chairman) felt that some new plan must be found and the proposed amendment seems to fill the bill. It is now possible to change the constitution with a fair amount of ease but still there is adequate pro- tection in that anything not de- sired will be defeated," he con- cluded. The proposed amendment will be submitted to the male membership of the student body, assembled on the lower floor of Hill auditorium at the time set for the beginning of the pep meeting on the night of Friday, Oct. 27, before the Wiscon- sin game.
