Rachmaninoff, D'Aranyi, and
Hayes Are Features
Season tickets for the choral un-
ion concerts have enjoyed a re-
markable sale this year, according
to Charles A. Sink, president of the
University musical sa*Iety. Tickets
for the individual concerts will be
placed on sale tomorrow at the Uni-

to Sink.
The season will be opened Wed-
nesday when Rosa Ponselle, noted
dramatic soprano of the Metropoli-
tan opera company, will appear
here. Her concert here will be one
of a few to be given here this fall.
Miss Ponselle has had a colorful
career, beginning at a very early
age when her voice had attracted
the attention of all who knew her.
Her first position as a singer was
in one of the old-time "nickleod-
eons." Each Saturday night during
that period the proprietor would
hand her twelve one-dollar bills,
her remuneration for the week. Her
debut in opera took place with Ca-
ruso in the opera "La Forza del
Destino."
Galli-Curci Will Sing
Galli-Curci will be the second ar-
tist on the program. Her appear-
ance on Oct. 22 is looked forward
to with great anticipation by lovers
of coloratura singing, of which she
is one of the best known exponents.
Following Galli-Curci, Vladimir
Horowitz, Russian pianist and solo-
it with the Detroit Symphony or-
chestra, will play here on Nov. 12.
The Flonzaley quartet, well known
group of stuing musicians, has in'-
eluded Ann Arbor in its itinerary
on its farewell tour. Ann Arbor was
one of the first cities in this coun-
try in which the quartet played
when they originally came to this
country for a concert tour.
Fritz Kreisler, often hailed as the
"king of violinists" will follow on
the concert series with a program
on Dec. 13, the last program before
the holiday season.
A special committee of Czecho-
slovakian Americans has been re-
sponsible for the bringing to this
country of the Prague teachers'
chorus, consisting of sixty school-
masters of this city and said to be
one of the finest groups of its
type in the world. Although the
number of their concerts in this
country is limited, they will appear
in Ann Arbor, on Jan. 24 with
Metod Dlezil conducting.
Another pianist besides Horowitz
namely Sergie Rachmaninoff will
occupy the limelight of the series
this year when he demonstrates his
musical genius once more for Ann
Arborites on Feb. 13. A second
violinist, too, in this case, Yelly
D'Aranyi will be heard on the ser-
ies.

Add Two Members
To Teaching Staff
In Forestry School
Two new men have been added
to the staff of the .Forestry school
with the rank of assistant profes-
sors. They are Prof. Ned Dearborn
and Prof. Howard M. Wight. Both
received notice of their appoint-
ment July 1, but they did not enter'
the teaching staff until this fall.
Professor Wight, who had been
conducting field research for the
forestry school since last February,
investigating privately owned game
refuges with the state department
of conservation, was appointed as-
sistant professor in forest zoology.
He received his A. B. from the Uni-
versity of Maine and his A. M. from
Oregon State Agricultural college.
He also served on the faculty of
the latter school as professor of
economic zoology, where he con-
ducted research and wrote a paper
on the history and control of ro-
dents and the mole. At the Iowa
State college he was subsequently
a member of the faculty until his
advent here. His special line of
work is economic mamalogy.
Professor Dearborn has had a
very varied experience in his field.
He graduated from Dartmouth with
a B. S. degree and earned his Sc. D.
at the University of New Hamp-
shire.
AUSTRIAN CIVIL WAR
lOOMS IN NEUSTADT,
Social Democrats, Heimwehr Fac-

Strife Expected, Today
THOUSANDSFLEE REGION
(By "Associated !rress)
WEINER NEUSTADT, Oct. 6.-
Taking on the appearance of a cit-
adel with the rattle of musketry
and the tramp of troops, the indus-
trial center of Weiner Neustadt, 30
miles south of Vienna, yesterday
took on the preparations for pos-
sible disorders and bloodshed to
follow the meeting of two rival po-
litical factions Sunday.
With the last minute prepara-]
tions of the Social Democrats who
rule Vienna, and the Heimwehr, or
the so-called Home Defense league
of Christian Socialists, who control
the Austrian government, for sepa-
rate propaganda meetings thou-
sands of the inhabitants of the city
fled. Valuable property was being
banked about with sand bags as
against p ossi bl1e bombardment,
while merchants closed their shops
with barricades and the 443 fac-
tories of the city ceased work. Elec-
tric signs were being removed from
the streets.
Under the direction of the chief
of police, troops were firing round
after round in the suburbs in tar-
get practice. The city authorities
commandeered the large municipal
hospital with 300 beds in case it
should be needed, present patients
being evacuated," and all doctors
and physicians available ordered to
be in Weiner Neustadt today.
So far there has already been one
casualty when a Social-Democrat
shot the former burgomaster of
Weissenbach twice through the
chest. Nine Communists were ar-
rested by police on the charge of
seizing the meeting as an occasion
to incite the people into open revo-
lution.

Furstenberg, Sharfman, C o a c h
Wieman and Regent Beal
Will Give Talks
All arrangements for broadcast-
ing the second "Michigan Night"
radio program of the year to be
given between 7:00 and 8:00 o'clock
Thursday evening, have been made,
it was stated yesterday by Waldo
M. Abbot, of the rhetoric depart-
ment, announcer and program
manager for the series.
Last Thursday marked the first
of a series of 25 programs to be
broadcast this year, the fourth year
they have been presented by the
University. As was the case last
year, they will consist of four five-'
minute talks by members of the
faculty with musical numbers, giv-
en by various campus organizations
alternated between them.
Wieman Will Speak
Included on the second Michigan
program are talks by Dr. Albert C.
Furstenberg, professor of otolaryn-
gology in the medical school, Prof.
I. L. Sharfman, of the econoknics
department, Elton E. "Tad" Wie-
man, head football coach and as-
sistant director of athletics, and
Junius E. Beal, Regent of the Uni-
versity since 1908.
Dr. Furstenberg, a specialist in
ear, nose and throat diseases in the
University hospital, will speak on
"Headaches,"sdealing with their
cause, treatment and how they may
be avoided. This will be a continu-
ation of the series of talks on med-
ical subjects which have been given
by Dr. R. Bishop Canfield and lbr.
Furstenberg in former years.
Sharfman to Talk Politics
Professor Sharfman will deal
with the relation between the pres-
ent political campaigns of Hoover
and Smith and the field of econom-
ics. He will point out the unusual
feature this year in that the two
major parties are catering to big
business instead of flaying as it has
been the practice in past cam-
paigns. Professor Sharfman has
been called into consultation with
many large business organizations
throughout the country to discuss
economic programs and his reputa-
tion in this field assures a most in-
teresting talk.
-Coach Wieman, in his talk, will
explain the purpose in a football
game-what each team is striving
to do and how it attempts to ac-
complish this purpose.

APPEALS FOR FAIR PLAY
"No Place For Personal Bitterness,"
Asserts Republican
Nominee
(By W. D. Ragsdale)
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn., Oct. 6-
Herbert Hoover appealed to the
people of the south today to lay
aside party prejudices and vote for
a president who represents the
principles that correspond to their
convictions.
Speaking to an immense crowd,
many of whom stood almost ankle
deep in a muddy field, the Republi-
can presidential candidate made
one of the first personal pleas for
support of the normally solid Dem-
ocratic south that a nominee of his
party has made in modern political
history.
Crowd Is Tumultuous
The crowd was tumultuous in its
welcome of a Republican standard-
bearer. He spoke on a platform
built at the foot of a high hill on
the edge of a mountain and the
crowd was massed into a huge fan
shape of humanity below him.
Hundreds of others were seated in
temporary stands which sprawled
across the hill under the shade of
the trees above h'im.
As the candidate's car appeared
on the outskirts of the crowd a roar
went up from the Mountaineers
crowded about the stands. His auto
was parked on the outskirts of the
crowd and he was forced to plough
through the mud of the field to the
speaker's stand.
Launching into his speech, he ex-
panded his views on farm relief,
prohibition and other platform
preparations, but he made no ref-
erence to the religious issue that is
stirring the southern states. Hoov-
er did, however, make an appeal for
fair play and good sportsmanship,
asserting that "we prove ourselves
worthy, worthy of self government
and worthy of confidence as offi-
cials in proportion as we keep these
contests free from abuse, free from
misrepresentation and free from
words and acts that carry regret."
"No Personal Bitterness"
"In a contest like this, there is
no place for personal bitterness,"
he said. "A great attribute of our
political life has been the spirit of
fair play with which fair presiden-
tial contests have been waged in
former years, and the sportsman-
like spirit which we have accepted
the results."

It was an afternoon of ca-
tastrophe. Precedents were estab-
lished and customs were broken.
The same day which had dawned
so nicely and had seen a crowd of
almost 50,000 set a new record for
a season opener in Ann Arbor also
saw Michigan lose its first opening
day game in 40 years, and, perhaps
equally as disastrous, saw that
sanctums, the front door of the
Union passed by a woman.
Then down on the green sward
of the stadium, Ohio Wesleyan's
drum major outplayed the inex-
naia ar3Mnhin renresentative.
after completing one toss that
nearly lost him his headgear.
But to return to details, it was
way back in 1888 that Michigan
last lost an opening game. Chicago
university club won that day by a
score of 26-4. Incidentally the
only other Michigan game that'
year was won from Notre Dame,
26-6.
Twice before that time, Michigan
had lost opening games, in 1881 to
Harvard, 4-0, and in 1883 to Yale,
46-0. In 1881, Michigan had its
most disastrous season also beingj
beaten by Yale, 11-0, and Prince-
ton, 13-4.
