No. 4 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1929 PRICE FIVE CENTS TWELVE PAGES k t I 1 Y SHUT[R ANOMANSS SUMMON TRYOUTS FOR CASI PLACES Union Opera Aspirants To Meet Today at Mimes PUBLICITY AIDS NAMED Music Practically in Final Form; Lyrics Being Composed Men interested in cast positions in the 1929 Union Opera are asked to meet E. Mortimer Shuter, direc- tor of the production, and Robert Manss, '30, general chairman, at 4 o'clock this afternoon in the Mimes theatre. No members of the cast have been chosen thus far, but the formulating of the cast and chor- uses will begin as soon as the ver- satility of the material has been fully exploited. A number of im- portant parts in the cast and choruses, both singing and danc- ing, are open to men who will apply this afternoon and prove them- selves capable of the parts. To Make Voice Tests Voice tests for all try-outs will be held from 4 o'clock to 5:30 o'clock this afternoon and tomorrow after- hoon, and from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock tonight and tomorrow night. The tests are being held in room 306 of the Union building, and are being conducted by Roy Langham who has charge of the training of the men's singing chorus. All men must have the voice test, whether they are interested in the singing parts, the dancing chorus, or a speciality number. Music Almost Complete Practically all of the music for the opera has been put into its final form, and the lyrics are being composed for the show. The usual dirf 'liiys ry, 'nowever, suironds the author or authors of the book, and even the character of the plot or the story is not ready to be di- vulged by the directors of the Opera activities. It has been pre- dicted, however, by certain privi- leged characters who have been al- lowed to enter the precincts of the hall in which the music is being worked over, that the tunes will create a sensation when they are presented to the theatre-going public. All that has been divulged is that the music this year will in po way resemble the music from past productions, or from current musical comedies. Definite infor- mation along these lines is expected to be forthcoming in the near fu- ture.

C, Oct. 3 - The Senate today adopted the 'Democratic proposal to restore to Congress the powers now lodged in the President to change tariff duties after investigation by the tariff commission. The ,vote was 47-42. The decision, the first major test vote of the tariff in the Senate, was against the wishe, of President1 Hoover, who had urged retention in the pending bill of the flexible principle. Under the minority pro- posal, the flexible provision, con-I tinuing in effect the 7-year oldI policy of preventing the President to raise or lower rate to the ex- tent of 501A would be changed to give Congress the final say on re- ports on suggested changes. The Democrats won 13 Republican votes for their proposal while 4 Demo- crats voted with the regular Re- publicans against it. Democrats Accept Amendment Before the vote, the Democrats had accepted an amendment to their plan, offered by Senator Nor- ris, Republican, Nebraska, design- ed to meet objections that Con-' gress couldn't act on individual emergency rates without opening the doors to a general revision that would limit Congress in its con- sideration of tariff commission re- ports to the rates contained in such reports. Before the vote was taken, the Senate rej-ected 47 to 42, an amend- ment to the Democratic flexible proposal designed to allow the President to put into effect tariff changes reported by the tariff commission in event Congress should fail to act on the reports within three months. When the Senate convened to- day, Senator Johnson, Republican,I California, opened the debate, ex- posing the Democratic proposal. He said he still was opposed to the flexible provision of the tariff law and that it would be criminal to 1 continue to take away the taxing power of Congress. Referring to what he termed "the power of concentrated wealth in the East," he said that Californ- ians desirous of continuing the flexible tariff provision should have a care lest they adopt a policy that would prove injurious to their in- terest.

FOR SCHOOL 1EAR Richard Cole Is Named Senior Councilman Over Farrell DECIDE ON PEP MEETINGS McBride Is Chosen Vice President owry Treasurer Election of Richard Cole, '30, as a senior councilman last night fea- tured the first meeting of the 1939- 30 Student council. Selection of of- ficers and a pep-meeting chairman were other important acts at the meeting which dealt largely with organization matters. Jennings MacBride, '30, was chosen vice-president of the coun- cil for the coming year. Willard Low- ry, 30, was picked as treasurer, and Bruce Palmer, '31, secretary. Stan- ley Cochran, '30E, was named to handle pep-meetings prior to the major football games this fall. Cole won the position, on vote of the councilmen, in a contest with William Farrell, '30. The victor, nominated by Councilman Mac- Bride received seven votes against Farrell's five. The latter was nom- inated3by Councilman Leo Nor- ville, '30. The election of a councilman was necessitated by the occurence last spring of a vacancy when Council- man Ernest C. Rief, '30, was elect- ed president at the all-campus vote. President Reif had been chosen the previous year for one of the two-year positions on the coun- cil and his promotion left the post open. Cole will serve the remainder of this term, which closes June, 1930. Councilman MacBride was made vice-president in a vote of the council over Councilman Norville. Councilman Lowry, retiring secre- tary, was chosen treasurer without opposition following a suggestion by Councilman MacBride that an ex- perienced man hold this position. The secretariat, traditionally given to one of the .junior council- men was contested for by Council- men Palmer and Matthew Had- don, '31.

The company, which will present the Stratford bard's famous works, has been recruited from the Soth- ern and Marlow, Walter Hampden, the late Robert Mantell, and Fritz Leiber companies. Miss Hamper is the only woman Shakerpearean actress now appearing before the public and she will be supported by ! the leading players from the com- panies which present this sort of1 production. John Alexander will be seen in the leading male roles. In the present repertoire he will be seen in the roles of Orlando, Macbeth, Shylock, Hamlet, Marc! Anthony, and Mercutio. As previously announced, the program for the three nights will be as follows: Monday night, Octo- ber 7th, "The Merchant of Venice;" Tuesday night, October 8th, "Mac- beth;" and "Romeo and Juliet" has been added to the presentation for Wednesday night, October 9th. EAST LANSING, Oct. 3.-Defense definitely became a problem for Coach Crowley today as a freshman team, trotted out like the pro- verbial sheep for a defensive drill with the Spartans, swept the Var- sity squad of the Michigan State college before them in a maze of forward passes, line bucks, and end runs. It was the same freshman team which before the attack of the Spartans yielded more than 20 touchdowns in the afternoon scrimmage. To borrow a picture from my- thology, suggested by the name Spartans, State's lack of defense was surely the fox in Crowley's bosom. The driving yearlings were stopped; that is, Coach Crowley called off the practice and sent his charges to the showers with never a word as was the example set long ago by the Spartan youth who was the first to carry a fox in the bosom of his blouse. The feat of the freshmen -was an unexpected crescendo to an aft- ernoon of otherwise commendable work on the part of the Varsity. Committees To Be Chosen Committees for the technical work of the production are being chosen by the chairmen who were appointed last Spring. Each group of men will have charge of one part of the production, and be respon-1 sible for its condition. The latest announcement of the personnel of a committee was made last night by William C. Gentry, '31, publicity director of the show. Henry Merry, '31, assistant chair- man, John Reindel, '32, Harold Warren, '31, Beach Conger. '32, and Carl Forsythe, '32, will constitute the publicity department of the production. Interest In Regents Meeting Proves Wide Official action on the problem of' naming a permanent president for the University is expected to be taken at the meeting of the Board of -Regents at 7:30 o'clock Friday evening. While no official word was given that the body planned to take such action, campus authori- ties voiced the opinion that such a proceedure was more than prob- able. Notices have been sent to each Regent, including Mrs. L. V. Cram of Flint, newly appointed by Gov- ernor Fred Green to take the place made vacant by the resignation of Benjamin S. Hanchett of Grar(d Rapids. The notices stated defi- nitely the Friday date. The meet- ing was scheduled for September 27 and postponed for one week. ings during the current football season was made by the council. They will take place at 7 o'clock the Friday evening preceeding the Ohio State, Harvard, and Iowa, games. Councilman: Cochran was placed in charge of these meetings by President Reif. An informal announcement that seats in the cheering sections for the major home games have prac- tically all been taken was made by the president. Ex-councilman Rich- Spindle, '29, who has been solely in charge of filling the sections was commended by the council' for his work. Members of the council, all of which were presented at the open- ing meeting, also include Donald J. Kline, '30, LaVerne Taylor, '30, Ken- neth M. Lloyd, George C.
