'29, president of the Union.:
James Thayer, '30, and William

time Nissen announced that under-
classmen, particularly sophoniores,
interested in Union activities should
report at the student offices in the
Union any afternoon this week.
The various Union committee
chairmen, appointed last week, are
now beginning to ask for sopho-
more tryouts who may by working:

Confab With Scribes
NOMINEE IN LOAFING MOOD

(By Associated Press)j
ALBANY, N. , Y., Oct. 3-Home.
again after a two weeks' campaign-
ing grind in the west, Gov. Smith
made the most of his opportunity
today to rest up for a renewal of
the presidential battle next week.
Refreshed by an eleven hour
sleep-the best night's rest he had
been able to get since leaving Al-
bany on his first stumping tour-
the Democratic nominee was not'
stirring around the executive man-
sion much before noon. He read-
ily conceded he was in a loafing
mood, .for the day at least, and
that about the only thing he had
in mind was a round of golf.
But before the governor started
out to one of the nearby country
Sclubs, ,he held..his customary daily
press conference with newspaper-
men who had requested the inter-
view despite his willingness tc
clamp the lid on news for a few
days and give all hands a rest.
Most of the discussion, which dealt
with campaign plans and strategy,
was "off the records," ain other
words not to be printed.
' During the "on the records" part
of the conference, however, Gov.
Smith, asked to comment on the
reported approval by D. F. Yoak-
um, former railroad executive, o:
"Hoover's farm. relief plan," re-
marked: "I can't for the life o:
me understand where Mr. Yoakun

ance that the tariff was the foun-
' dation of farm relief," the Demo,
cratic nominee went on. "Every
student of the subject and ever:

site view. The whole contention
all along has been that the tariff
does not operate where the farme

Expenses to Be Cut
Prof. Hugo P. Thieme, of the
French department, declared that
the change was both logical and
economical. In cutting down the
two existing departments into a
single one, he said, the amount of
overhead involved would be cut
just in half.
"At present," said Dr. Thieme,
there are courses being offered in
are totally different from those
given in the literary school. For
example, in the engineering school
certain courses in French and
Spanish literature are taught in
classes are taught in the native
French or Spanish. The union of
the two departments should result
in a beneficial revision of courses
May Change Instructors
"It will also be possible to le
instructors teach the coursesthe
can best," Dr. Thieme continued
"There are, perhaps at present cer-
tain instructors teaching beginnin
courses in the engineering schoo
who couldbetter instruct advance
classes. It will be possible .unde
the new regime to put such me
iri charge where their abilities ca
be utilized to best advantage."
Prof. Julio del Toro, of the Span-
ish department, pointed out the
possibilityeof improving the curric
ulum by selecting the best ourse
now offered in the two clleges
and expressed the opinion tha
greater unification could be attain
ed by reducing the number of de
partmental heads from two o
three to a single man.

Little Approves
Students'Attitude
Expressing his satisfaction of the
student attitude toward the pro-
posed Federal liquor investigation
on the campus, President Clarence
Cook Little yesterday issued a
statement concerning the action of
student bodies in regard to the
matter. The statement was issued
just before President Little left for
a trip to New York where he will
attend some meetings of educa-E
tional organizations, and was prob-
ably the last move that will be
made by the President's office for
the new few days in regard to the
situation.
The statement, reads:
I am pleased and encouraged
with the spirit of co-operation by
student organizations on the cam-~
pus. The Womens' league repre-
senting the women, and Adelphi,
the campus society for informal
discussion on controversial sub-
jects, both acted promptly and fa-
vorably. Delta Phi is the first of
the men's fraternities to take inde-
pendent action in support.
All these things show that the
students at Michigan are rallying
to the support of an impartial in-
vestigation calculated to provide
definite evidence in disproof of
loose and slanderous descriptions
of American University life.

Because there has been no defin-

lent Council last night passed a re-
ommendation which, if the Senate
committee on Student Affairs fin-
illy concurs, will provide a double
heck on the expenditures of all
uch committees. The recommen-
lation provides for a council mem-
er to sit on all committees as an
ex-officio member and keep a sepa-
ate set of records of the finances
of the committee.
All committee checks will have
to be countersigned by the council
nember, and no contracts can be
legally entered into without te
ignaturenofethe council member.
Rumors of resale by committeemen
)f tickets which had been handed
to the doorman, taking commis-

brought about this action.

POLITICAL SITUATION
DISCUSSED BY HOOVERi

>nfers With Coolidge At White
House On Progress Of
Presidential Fight

NEW YORK NOW DOUBTFUL


1

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3-Herbert

Hoover today paid. another visit to-
the White House to discuss the1
general political situation with
President Coolidge and disclosed
after the conference that the chief
executive planned to deliver some
addresses before election day.
The Republican presidentialI
nominee declared that he did not
know whether the speeches of Mr.I
Coolidge would be political. He
would not reveal the subject of
their conversation beyond declar-
ing that it was upon various mat-I
ters pertaining to the campaign
and the general progress of theI
presidential fight..
Earlier in the day Hoover wel-I
comed a group of first voters from
the town of Gov. Alfred E. Smith,,
his Democratic opponent, with a
brief address in which he empha-
sized that the vigor and ideals of
the younger generation were es-
sential to carry on the Republican
party.
The candidate also learned from
Representative Hamilton Fish of
New York, a new angle of the pa-
litical situation in that state. The I
nomination of Ambassador A. B.
Houghton of Great Britain as Re-
publican senatorial candidate, Fish'
declared, together with the vigor-
ous fight of the Democratic forces
under Gov. Smith, had thrown the
state into the doubtful column.
The selection of Houghton had
I eliminated the world war veterans
from the Republican party.
I Later Fish said he had informed.
Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the
Republican national committee,
that unless the circulation of re-
ligious literature was stopped, the
Democrats would make sweeping
gains in the east. He .added that
he also had urged Work to sum-
mon Mrs. Mabel Walker Wille-{
brandt back to her duties in the
Department of Justice.1

Saturday through the football pro-

Because of the large number of
new gridders making a strong bid
for the Varsity eleven, the watch-

name of a player that makes an
outstanding run, tackle or the like
during practice sessions and scrim-
mage.

!' The fall season of 1928 marks the
beginning of the fourth year of'
University broadcasting. Although,
f was formerly decided to broad-
cast this year through WGHP, the
change was made back to WJR-.

assured.
As was the case last year, each

be held the week following the
junior elections on corresponding
days and hours, and the freshman
class elections will be held some
time late in November.
Adopt New Methods
After discussion the council de-
'cided lash night that the chairman
I 'of the J-hop should be chosen on
a separate ballot. Heretofore the
chairman of the affair has been
the candidate for a place on the
committee who received the high-
est number of votes, provided he
was from the college whose turn it
I was to hold the chairmanship.
This year a separate ballot will be
taken on the chairmanship, with
defeated candidates holding the
option of running for places on the
committee. A system of letting the
committee elected choose its own
chairman was thrown out by the
. council.
To combat the politicalcorruption
' of former years a motion was in-
.troduced in the meeting to secure
lists of the members of classes from
the Recorder's office, and use them
to check off authorized voters as
they entered the voting room, at
* the same time handing each voter
a single ballot. Members of other
.classes than the one voting will
t thus be excluded, and a closer
t check will be possible on the. num-



"The hearty enthusiam of the
American stage of today comes not
from Broadway, but from the in-
terest of the amateur actors com-
pined with our university curri-
cula," stated Walter Pritchard
Eaton, eminent dramtic critic and
member of the Theater Guild, in
Natural Science auditorium yester-
day afternoon .
In quoting statistics Mr. Eaton
said that since Professor Baker's
first course in play writing, the
famous "Work Shop 47," 80 per
cent of the American plays have
been written by college graduates.
He said also that 50 per cent of the
scenery designing, directing and
producing has been done either
by Professor Baker's students or by
graduates of similar courses.
"This large percentage does not
hold true in acting because that
part of the drama requires more
actual practice than the Universit3
can afford time to give," the lectur-
er continued. "Euginene O'NeilI
and Paul Greene, author of "Or
Abram's Bosom" which will soon
appear in Ann Arbor, were both
graduates of Harvard. The enli-
veing of drama in North Carolina
alone came chiefly through the ex-
tensive state university training.'

Ann Arbor's new airport and
special air mail service to all main
points in the country as well as
many important points in the
state will be formally dedicated
Tuesday, Oct. 9, when many promi-
nent men in the city and state will
be present at a dedication lunch-
eon to be given at the air-port.
The new landing field is situ-
ated three and one-half miles west
of Ann Arbor, proceeding directly
out South State street. Mail
planes leave Ann Arbor twice daily,
first at 11:15 o'clock in the morn-
ing and then in the afternoon at
4:30 o'clock. Quick service will be
maintained with all cities to which
the service is extended. Mail leav-
ing ,Ann Arbor one day via the new
air service will be delivered in Chi-
cago, Cleveland, Iowa City, and a
number of other points within sim-

new service was cited yesterday by
O. O. McLeisch, general secretary
of the Ann Arbor chamber of com-
merce. McLeisch in order to test
the service dropped a letter in a
box in Kalamazoo, addressing the
letter to a local merchant. The let-
ter left his custody at 10 o'clock
one morning. That afternoon at
2:05 o'clock, the letter was received
by the merchant who replied im-
mediately by special delivery. The
merchant's letter was delivered to
the office of the chamber of com-
merce at 3:10 o'clock, so that the
entire correspondence through the
regular mail channels took only a
little more than five hours to be
completed.
Air mail can be dropped in any
box in the city, although special
boxes for additional convenience
- will be provided in the near future
