XLIV No. 40 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1933 PRICE Students Plan A Pep Meet To Support Team Permission To Be Asked. Of Deans For Dismissal Of Classes Friday Coaches, Players, To Give Speeches Lack Of Interest Is Cited As Reason For Showing In Illinois Game King Of Violinists ,Because they believe the recent lack of enthusiasm shown by stu- dents for the Varsity football team may result in defeat Saturday when the strong Iowa team comes here, several prominent students are plan- ning a pep meeting to be held at 11:30 a. m. tomorrow on the steps of the General Library. Since the required permission of the deans of the several colleges to dismiss classes has not yet been ob- tained, it will not be known until some time late today whether the venture will go through. The stu- dents who are behind the meeting are confident, however, that the nec- essary permission will be quickly ob- tained. Present plans call for short talks by one or two of the coaches and a few of the players, cheers led by the cheerleading squad, and numbers by the Varsity band. "We feel that there hasn't been nearly enough student punch behind the team," one of the leaders of the group said. "Less than 200 welcomed the team back from Champaign. If we expect the team to keep up its string of victories the entire student body must get behind it." If permission is granted by Univer- :sity offlials the Undergraduate Council will sponsor the meeting. Extra Showing Is Planned For I. 'ca Brumm's Pla For the first time, Prof. John L. Brumm's third annual University Press Club play, "Why Print That," written especially for the convention. will be presented before the public. In past years the performance has been opened only to members of the club. Friday night the Lydia Mendel- ssohn Theatre has been reserved for Press Club members only. However, the special Saturday night presenta- tion will be open to the general pub- lic, at a radical reduction in prices, according to John Hirt, '34, business manager.. The box office in the Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre will be open daily starting today from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. Tickets for the main floor are on sale for 50 cents, and 25 cents in the balcony. Early indications show that the Saturday night performance will be a sell-out. Roosevelt Confers With Soviet Envoy WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-() Formalities brushed aside, President Roosevelt and Maxim Litvinov drove' straight toward the problem of Rus- sian recognition' today in a confer- ence that lasted almost an hour. Before and after his talks with President Roosevelt, the Commissar of Foreign Affairs for the Soviet Gov- ernment talked with Secretary Hull at the State Department. Aside from a formal meeting today, original plans had called for the first discussions between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Litvinov to be held tomor- row. The fact that no time was wasted was interpreted in official circles as meaning there had been no halt in the steady march of de- velopments towards Russian recog- nition.' 15 Killed In Election Struggles In Kentucky LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 8. --(P) - Repeal of the Eighteenth Amend- ment and approval of a state amend- ment authorizing the legislature to remove the state tax continued to lead as returns from yesterday's elec- tion in Kentucky came in tonight. As the tabulation proceeded into the nirht the state onnnted. its elec-- t i' r wftww,- FRITZ KREISLER * * * Kreisler Will Gi e Concert HereTonight Will Present Numbers By Schubert, . Tchaikowsky And Rimsky-Korsakov Fritz Kreisler, distinguished Aus- trian violinist, who has won renown as violin virtuoso, composer, military captain and author, will make his eighth Ann Arbor concert appearance at 8:15 p. m. tonight, in Hill Audi- torium. The "King of Violinists," whose last appearance in this city was on Oct. 13, 1930, will arrive in Ann Arbor today a few hours before the concert and will leave shortly ,afterwards, due to his heavy concert schedule which prevents a longer stopover. According to leading. American critics, no violinist of his time has equallednthehold which Fritz Kreis- ler has upon his public, and none has won and maintained such a hold through clearer "deserts or higher qualities. During his years in the United States he has played in every part of the country, in cities and towns that rarely hear .an artist of such distinction, as well as in the musical centers that annually pre- sent four or five "Kreisler Concerts." . A last-minute change in the pro- gram for tonight's concert calls for the inclusion of Ballet Music "Rosa- munde," by Schubert, which makes the complete program as follows: Sonata, C minor (for violin and piano), by Grieg; Chaconne (for vio- lin alone), by Bach; Impromptu, by Schubert; Ballet Music "Rosa- munde," by Schubert; Andante Can- tabile, by Tchaikowsky; Humoresque, by Tchaikowsky-Kreisler; Hymn to the Sun, by Rimsky-Korsakov-Kreis- ler; and Four Caprices, by Porpora, Wieniawski, and Paganini.

The meeting will be held at 6 p. m. Tuesday, Nov. 14, in the Union. Dr. McKean will discuss the "Complica- tions of Diabetes Mellitus" and Dr. Newburgh will speak on "Principle and Practical Management of Dia- betes."

'Benevolent, Patriotic, Social' TammanyHall In The Cold (By Associated Press) The Backdrop of the New York mayoral stage: Tammany - A "benevolent, patri- otic and social" body founded in 1789 by an upholsterer. Aaron Burr, duel- ist opponent of Alexander Hamilton, reorganized it into a political ma- chine. It has held almost continuously the ruling hand over city politics through its championing of the low salaried class and the "under dog." It generously dispenses favors in the form of political offices, charity do- nations and many holiday outings. The Players: Boss Tweed - In 1869 Tammany came under control of William Marcy Tweed and his ring of political graft- ers. Exposed by newspapers, Tweed was sentenced to 12 years in iail, Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst led his "turn the rascals out," element into' power. With the Tiger ranks disor- ganized and in a panic, Croker fled to Europe. On sailing, Croker said: "A change is a good thing sometimes, but Tam- many Hall will be here when we're all gone." Boss Murphy -Under Charles F. Murphy, Tammany once more built up its bulwarks and even began a campaign to influence national poli- tics. Boss Curry - In 1929, mild-man- nered, soft-spoken John F. Curry be- came Tammany dictator. He concen- trated on local politics. Curry openly supported the James J. Walker "jazz era" administration. It was a bitter blow to the Curry old guard when the reign of their.
