The organization for the annual
Mimes' production, which may be
an opera this year it was announc-
ed, was begun last night at a regu-
lar meeting of the Mimes' organiza-
tion, at which time the committee
appointments were made. The
manuscript con,est shall remain1
open, as announced, until Friday,
midnight. Books may be submitted
at the main desk in the Union.
This year's production will be the
twenty-fifth in the history of the
organization. Starting as one of the
first all-men's campus operas, the
annual Mimes' show has grown to
become one of the oldest and most
colorful traditions, not only of the
University of Michigan, but of that
entire section of the United States
throughout which it has been pre-
sented.
It is not yet known whether the
show this year will be in the nature
of an Opera or of a Revue, which
decision will naturally depend upon
the manuscript selected. Last year's
production was an all-campus re-
vue, which was the first time in the
history of the organization that the
traditional Opera had been sup-
planted by other form of dramatic
entertainment.
Although it has not yet been
definitely decided whether or not
women will be in the cast, it is
highly probable that such will be
the fact.
The committees in charge of the
production, to be presented in Ann
Arbor at the traditional time dur-
ing the last full week prior to the
Ohrlstmas rces;, are a' follows:,
ieneral Committee: Beach Conger,
'32; William Tippy, '32E; Robert
Wells, '32; Stage Committee: John

ARMY-NAV ATL
TO BENE1iT POOR
Football Classic Arranged for
This Fall, Probably to Be
Held in December.
WASHINGTON, Oct.6.-(P)--
The thrill of another gridiron clash
between West Point and Annapolis,
with the unemployed benefitting,
will be given American football
fans this fall.
Secretary Adams of the navy
department and Acting Secretary
Payne of the war department ten-
tatively arranged ,or a game. Only
details of the exact time and place
remained tonight for settlement.
Several suggestions have been
advanced that this year's game be
played in a city other than New
York, the place of last year's game
which the Army won, 6 to 0. That
game netted about $400,000 for the
unemployed.
Naval officials faored Franklin
Field, Philadelphia.
. Admiral William V. Pratt, chief
of naval operations, has formally
suggested Chicago. Cleveland and
other cities also have been suggest-
ed.
The probable date of the game
is Dec. 12. Consideration of secur-
ing as large attendance as possible
may make it necessary, naval offi-
cers said tonight, to play the game
at the Polo Grounds in New York.

Baton Throwing L
to Lead 100-Pie(
When Michigan's colorful 100-
piece Varsity band marches on the
field Saturday afternoon for the
Chicago game, it will have at its
head, Frank 0. Riley, '33E, who, for
the second successive year, will act
as drum major for the organization.
Riley last year was adjudged one
of the leading drum majors in the
Middle West and was highly praised
for his work in Boston when the
band went to the eastern city for
the Harvard-Michigan game. Since
his installation last fall, he has not
failed to astound the crowds be-
tween the halves with his maneu-
vers and ability to lead the band.
Coming to Michigan in 1929 from
Pontiac where he was drum major
of the high school there, he was
immediately made understudy to
Joseph Narrin who filled the posi-
tion that season.
Last year, in a competition with
nine other aspirants, Riley was
picked as permanent leader of the
band and has acted in that capaci-
ty ever since. Since many novel
maneuvers are planned by the band
this year, football crowds are ex-
pected to acclaim him still more.
IDENTIFICATION CARDS
Student identification cards,
similar to those issued by the
office of the dean of students
last year, will be available in
room 4, University hall, this
week, assistant of Joseph A.
Bursley, dean. of students, an-
nounced yesterday.
Students whose names begin
with the letters A-M may get
their cards Thursday, and the
remainder may apply Friday. It
was stressed that the cards are
to be compulsory for admission
to football games, and that any
student may be required to iden-
tify himself by showing his' card
at any time in any University
institution, such as the Health
service, the Union, and the like.
?rum Major Again
ce Band Saturday
The tradition of throwing the
baton over the goalposts between
the halves, which was started at
Michigan a number of years ago,
will again be continued Saturday
and Riley's record of "catches" still
remains to be broken.
This rite is looked upon by the
fans as an omen depending on
whether the drum major catches
the baton or not. If he catches it,
good luck is foretold for the team
while if he happens to miss, a sure
sign of losing is in the offing. Last
year Riley batted 1000 percent and
Michigan was undefeated.

Thursday, October 20, 21 and 22.

EYE WITNESS WRITES
A 19-year-old hobo, William E.
Smith, claims to have been an
eye witness of the torch slayings
August 11 near Ypsilanti in
which two young girls and their
boy companions were creiated.
An illiterate mesage was received,
Tuesday, by Sheriff Jacob Andres
from the youth stating that he
saw the whole affair. "The girls,"
he said, "were prayin' to God for
help."
The youth wrote that he was
sleeping in a hay stack when he
was awakened by the screams of
the girls and the pistol shots. "I
got a good look at all of it. I saw
the pictures in the Detroit papers
later and they *ere the rite
ones," he wrote.
Smith said that he did not say
anything of the crime because
he had witnessed murders in
Kansas City, Mo., and Chicago,
and each time had been lodged
in jail as a suspect. The letter
was posted at Coldwater, Mich.
Sheriff Andres said he believed

Hoover Sets Forth New Program
for Massing Private and
Public Resources.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-(IP)-A
new program for the massing of
gigantic private and public re-
sources in support of a business
revival was proposed tonight by
President Hoover to the leaders in
Congress.
Making his most sweeping gesture
for financial recovery since the
moratorium proposal, the Presi-
dent sought Congressional concur-
rence ein a plan of stabilization
worked out after long conference
with the captains of American
finance.
Although details were kept confi-
dential, it was disclosed that Mr.
Hoover's hopes pointed definitely
toward a freer movement of capital
and credits, with a consequent sig-
nificant upturn in public confi-
dence.
Flow the project was received by
the senators and representatives
likewise was undisclosed, but it was
apparent that the Democratic lead-
ers among them were inclined to
ask for time for careful consider-
ation. At a meeting during the day,
these leaders had formed a plan
to confer among themselves again
tomorrow before giving final assent.
Meantime, signs of encourage-
mont spring up on every side. In
New York, the security markets
swung upward with a confidence
unequalled in many weeks, and
Washington was filled with high
anticipation.
Tomorrow another detail of the1
same problem will be examined by
a gathering of bankers and real
estate men, members of a finance
committee of the President's con-
ference on home building.

BUYING DISCUSSE
Committee Appointe
for Investigation of

Possibility that deferred rushir
may be postponed was revealed 1
Howard T. Worden, '32, president
the Inter-fraternity council, in
special meeting of this body, he
last night in the Union, to discu
the co-operative plan of fraterni
buying.
Worden stated that at the regi
Jar meeting of the council, wh c
will convene at 8 o'clock next We
nesday night, there would be, '
discussion as to whether we will g
ahead with deferred rushing th
year or not."
He asked that the letters regar
ing the financial status of t
houses, which have been sent out
the various fraternities, be answeri
frankly and truthfully so that t
council could tell if it were advi
able to modify or put off deferri
rushing.
"I think that if the financial coi
ditions are bad enough, we et
modify the plan so that freshm
can be pledged sooner than t
rules allow," he stated.
As the meeting was a special or
no official business could be tran
acted. Therefore a discussion w
carried on as to the feasability a
economy of theco-operative buyn
plan.
House managers agreed that a
or 12 per cent discount on fo
products would be very desirea1l
but many of them seemed wary
joining any sort of a trust in whic
if one fraternity in th'e group e
bankrupt, the others would have
pay the back bills.
A local produce merchant e:
plained that the discount could
allowed to eight or ten houses th
bought co-operatively, because c
of delivery would be decreased sin
all of the orders would be taken
the same time. He said, howev
that bills should be paid by t
week, instead of by the month,
is the custom now.
A representative from a Bost
wholesale canning house statl
that large discounts would be e
fected 'if a group of fraterniti
would do business through a lar
warehouse which dealt with cann
goods and staple supplies.
It was decided at the meeti
that a man should be appoint
from each of the five groups'of fr
ternities that make up the cou:
cil, to form a committee to invesi
gate prices and discounts offered
various companies, and to report
a later date to the council.
