Sink, president of the University school of music. Unusual enthusiasm over the com- ing program has been in evidence by , the number of early reserva- tions ma Ie, Sink said. 4The series this year boasts a well variated range of artists, including three solo singers, two pianists, twp violinists of note, a quartet of musicians, a famous~ chorus, as well as .a renowned symphony or- chestra. Rosa Ponselle, recognized by many as the =outstanding operatic abprano of the day, is the first of 'the singers who will be heard here this fall. She will appear on Oct. 10. Following her engagement by about two.weeks, Amelita Galli Curd, faoed exponent of coora- tlira singing, will return to Ann Arbor for a song recital. The third singer on the program, Roland Hayes, negro tenor who has rapid-_ ly risen to fame in this country and abroad, is scheduled for a pro- gram on Jan. 18. Horowitz to Play Vladimir Horowitz and Sergei Rachmaninoff are the two pianists who- will entertain .local music lovers. The former will be accom- anied on Nov. 12 by the Detroit' symphony orclestra under the baton of Victor Kolar. Rachanin- off was heard several years ago in Ann Arbor and at that time re- ceived one of the greatest ovations ever accorded an artist. When he' comeshere on Feb. 13 he will play a number of his own compositions as well as a specially selected group of other musical works. Fritz Kreisler, who has often been hailed by those interested in violinists as "the greatest of them all' will come here Dec. 13 for the last concert before the holiday sea-. son. Another violinist, this time a woman, Yelli Daranyi, the distin- guished Hungarian artists, will play in Hill auditorium on Feb. 20. She has received the plaudits of many of the foremost musical critics of the world and has caused favorable comment wherever she has played. Quartet Will Appear Nov. 23 will mark the final ap- pearance in Ann Arbor of the Flonzaley quartet, that world ne-_ nowned organization of musicians, which is now on its farewell tour. Ann Arbor moreoVer was one of the first cities in America in which the Flonzaley quqartet played when it first came over to this country. Ann Arbor has been included in a special tour of the Pargue Teach- ers Chorus which has been brought to this country by a special com- mittee of Czechoslovakian-Ameri- cans who persuaded the group of 60 artists to come here for a very limited number of concerts. On Jan. 24, this well known group of whom Walter Damrosch once said, "There islnothing like it in the world," will be heard here. Including the concert series on March 11, the Detroit symphony w hestra with Alfred Mertz as gnest conductor, will make their setiund appearance of the series. Met was formerly Wagnerian con- dictor at the Metropolitan opera house since he is one of the out- standing conductors in the world,I his appearance with the Detroit or- (-.,stra is being awaited here with ir eat interest. LECTURE SERIES HAS RECORD SALE More than 1,500 applications for, work have been made by students to the employment department in charge of Mrs. Mary L. Stewart, with headquarters. in the office of the Dean of Student, and most of the aplicants have been satisfac- torly placed. It is estimated that about the same number of men have continued in jobs which have been found for them in past years, thereby making further applica- tions unnecessary. This, according to Mrs. Stewart, brings- the num- ber of students working at least part of their way through school to nearly forty per cent of the total :enrollment of men students. HOOVERNOT TO SEEK SUPPORTBYRLGO Delivers Statement Reiterating Stand That Religion Has No Part In Campaign QUESTION IS ELIMINATED (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Her- bert Hoover announced flatly to- day that he wanted no support for the presidency on the basis of re- ligion. His declaration was made in a second formal statement repudiat- ing a circular bearing the stamped signature of Mrs. Willie W. Caldo well, Republican national commit- teewoman for Virginia and appeal- 'ing to the women to "save the Uni- ted States from being Romanized." I "I cannot fully express my in- Idignation of such circulars," the Republican presidential candidate said. "Nor can I reiterate too strongly that the religious question has no part in this campaign. I have repeatedly stated that neither I nor Republican party wants sup- port on that basis." ' "There are important and vital reasons for the return of the Re- publican administration, but this is not on of them." Supplements Issue, Hoover's statement supplement- ed one issue last night in which he reiterated the declaration he I made in his acceptance speech against religious intolerance in American political affairs. Before he made that speech, he issued instructions on which Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Re- publican national committee, sent. notice to all Republican party of- ficials and workers that neither religion or prohibition were to be treated as issues in this campaign. Before issuing his statement to- day, Hoover conferred with several of( his closest advisors including William J. Donovan, assistant Uni- ted States attorney general, and officers of the national committee. When he called the newspaper correspondents into his office to make his statement public, he plainly showed an intense feeling. Declines .Discussion Hoover declined to go into a de- tailed discussion of the incident which lec to his renewed declara- tion, but Mrs. Caldwell, in a tel- egram to the Republican national committee, amplified her provision in a formal statement that she had not authorized the injection into the circular sent to women in Vir- ginia of any reference to the re- ligious question. I She stated to Republican party I officials that she directed the is- suance of the circular to volunteer Hoover workers in the state and gave a general outline of what she wanted to save. Before the circular was prepared, she was called to Washington to attend a party Ton- ference here, she explained. The literature was sent out in her ab- sence bearing a fascimile of her signature. COUNCIL TO PICK 1928-29 OFFICERS1 Going through the files, applica- tions for "board jobs" were far in the lead, while the number of mu- sicians was second on the list. Al though the list of kinds of work desired was not as varied this year as it has been in some years past, the department has dealt with a wide range of occupations. This year, waiters, dishwashers, butch- ers, bakers, musicians, oil-station attendants, and many other tradesmen have been placed, while odd jobs are filled, as they are needed, for a few hours at a time. The employment department is busy nearly all of the time during the school year as requests for stu- dents to do various kinds of work are continually coming in and are filled from the index of applicants. The department has and almost unlimited list of concerns, local and national, who offer sales positions on the commission basis. Com- paratively few . of such positions can be filled, however, because the type takes too much of their time from their studies.° WJR WILL RADIOCAT UNIVERSITYPROGRAMS' Change From Tuesday to Thursday As Day of Broadcasting Also Made by Prof. Abbot MAKE STA TiON CHANGE Change in the station which will broadcast the University's radio programs during the next year and a change in the day of broadcast- ing, was announced yesterday by I Prof. Waldo Abbot of the rhetoric department, who is also director of radio for the University.

SMITH CONTENDS FOR STATE MOQiFICATION, OF ROITINLAWS~ CANDIDATE ASSAILS PRESENT VOLSTEAD ACT AND AMENDMENT PROPOSALS ARE OUTLINED Governor Denounces Republican Administration As To Way It Has Enforced Laws (By Associated Press)' MILWAUKEE, Sept. 29.-Striking his first campaign blow at prohibi- tion, Gov. Smith contended tonight that the state should be given the right to' modify both the Eigh- teenth Amendment and the Vol- stead Act or to keep them in within their borders. As he wound up his initial stumping tour through the West with a speech in this city, once widely known for its beer, the Demcratic nominee for president called for frank discussion of the prohibition question and assailed present restrictions on the manu- facture and sale of liquor and the Republican administration in the way it has been enforcing them. Renews Pledge Then he outlined as in his speech of acceptance, his program for modification both both the'.Eigh- teenth Amendment and the Vol- stead law, only, howeve-, i the streets were -a majority of the vot- ers gave their approval. He re- newed his pledge to guard against the return of the salooi, but made no direct reference in his prepared text to the Canadian liquor system as he did last month at his modi- fication in Albany. "It must be borne in mind," said the New York governor, "that uri- der my suggestion federal prohibi- tion is preserved in its entiity 'for the states that desire to remain dry. "It will remain always the duty of the federal government under my proposal to protect the states desiring to remain dry from the introduction or importation into $hem, of alcoholic beverages. Asserts Prohibition Stand "Now I am fully aware," the Democratic nominee went on, "that as president of the United States, cannot bring this about myself, but, repeating what I said in St. Paul, what we lack in this country E s leadership; and if I am elected president of the United States it will be my duty to lay this matter before every community that I can reach and let them make their own decision. If that is not Demo- cratic government, I must confess I do not understand it. "You can expect nothing from the Republican party. The long record of eight years indicate that they have used the law for patron- age purposes and for political ex- pediency. They have tried to be wet when they were with the wets, and dry when they were with drys. They have silently stood by and permitted the paralysis of the ma- chinery of government when it comes to carrying out the man- date of the constitution and the statute laws. It is, because of that that after eight years they are compelled to promise again that they will do something about it if given a new lease of life by the American people." Recalling the declaration in his speech of acceptance that with re- septc to prohibition two constitu- tional duties evolve on 'the presi- dent: first, to recommend to Con- gress one in his opinion .is the in- terest of the nation, and second, to enforce the laws as he finds them. Showing a decrease of more than 300 students for the total enroll- ment' at this time last year, the official figures showed the total registration of the University to be 9,274 when the books closed yes- terday noon. The enrollment at this time last year was 9,579, 305 more than' this year. The College of Literature, Sci- ence, and the Arts shows the lar- gest drop, 261 less students being enrolled this year. Other schools which showed losses are Law, 25, Pharmacy, 3, Dental, 19, education, 57, and business administration, 4. Several divisions. showed higher totals however. There are: Col- leges of Engineering and Architec- utre, 19, School of Nursing ,, and Graduate, 40. Of the total for 1928, 6,788 are men and 2,486 are women. In 1927, there were 6,951 men and 2,628 women. Thus far, there are 1,318 freshmen enrolled as against 1,451 for a total in 31927. DETROIT FLYERS off TO SET NEW REORD SCHLEE AND BROCK TAKE OFF FROM CALIFORNIA AIRPORT GERMANS HOLD RECORD (By Associated Press) SAN DIEGO, Cal., Sept. 29.-Ed- ward Schlee . and William Brock, Detroit' fliers, took off from Rock- well' field here at 6:49:a. m., today in"an attempt to break the world's flight endurance record now held by Germany. The record' Schlee and Brock, De- troit to Tokio fliers, are attempting to ;beat is 65 hours 25 minutes, es- tablished by 4ohann Risticz and Wilhelm 'Zimmerman, at Dessau, Germany, last July. The Germans flew a Jrunkers plane equipped with a 280 hoursepower motor. Broek Pilots Ship Brock and Schlee have a Bellanca 'monoplane fitted with a 220 horse- power Wright Whirlwind engine. Their. plane weighed 6,150 pounds at the take off and Brock, who was at .the controls, hurtled the ship' into the' air with ease after a run of seven-eighths of a mile over an especially prepared runway. The weather was ideal. The plane carried 560 gallons of gasoline and 21 gallons of lubri- cating oil. Four fried chickens, two quarts of concentrated soup, two dozen hard boiled eggs, two quarts of coffee, four gallons of water, 100 sandwiches and several dozen oranges and lemons were taken along to keep Brock" and Schlee from getting hungary and thirsty during their contemplated three days and nights in the air. Make Dangerous Start As the plane flew into the morn- ing mist, it headed westward for five miles directly over the Pacific ocean as a turn to the right or left would have courted disaster. Had their motor stopped the fliers would have plunged into the sea with their three-ton land plane with lit- tle likelihood that they could have been rescued CHICAGO BEATEN IN OPENING GAME (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 29. - The Uni- versity of Chicago's thirty-seventh annual aggregation o f football huskies, making their first aippear- ance of the season, went down to the scoreless defeat in both ends of today's double header, dropping the first game to the University of South Carolina, 6 to 0, and the sec- ond to Ripon College, of Ripon, Wis., 12 to 0. Coach Stagg, laboring through the training season with a crippled crew, sent the best team he could muster together against the South Carolina eleven. Trying every com- bination of play and player, he managed to stop the southern team in the second half, and to keep the, score down to the single touch- down that was registered in the second period.
