The early fall sale, Henoch said, will offer the 'Ensian at a substantial saving for those who subscribe at this time. The price of the book is now set at $3.50 and payments for subscriptions may be made in three installments. A down payment of $1 is required at the time of subscribing while two subse- quent payments of the remaining $2.50 must be made before Dec. 14, at which time the price of the book will be raised to $4.50 and finally to $5 at the time of publication. Applicants Available Outnumber Jobs By 750 With the FERA quota of 903 student workers filled anda scar- city of board jobs prevalent, of fi- cials of the University Employ- ment Bureau today face the task of finding work for approximately 750 job-seeking students. Members of the FERA commttee are working day and night assign- ing jobs to applicants accepted. Yesterday 50 post cards were sent out informing students to report for work and it is expected that 75 more will be sent out tonight. Latest figures revealed that 1,- 500 students applied for FERA work and about 150 for board, room, and part-time work, through the employment bureau in the of- fice of the Dean of Students. According to Miss Elizabeth A. Smith, director of FERA place- ments, under the federal student relief agreement, 450 jobs must go to newly enrolled students while the other 450 jobs must be as- signed to old students. Of each 450, one third or 150 must be granted to girls. The minimum wage per month is $10 and the maximum $15. Gargoyle Will Contain Many New Features Add Short Story Contests And Subscription Offer' To Humor Magazine A monthly short story contest, new cartoons, photography, and articles in addition to a special subscription5 offer, feature this year's issues of they Gargoyle, campus humor magazine. Throughout the year, Gargoyle will sponsor a short story contest which is open to all University students, ac- cording to Eric Hall, '35, managing editor. The contest will be run monthly and will carry a prize of $10 each issue to the winning manuscript as well as publication of the story in the, magazine, Hall announced. The campus-wide sale of the Gar- goyle which began last week will con- tinue through Saturday. A double subscription to Gargoyle and Life for nine months is being offered for $1.25, thus giving a substantial saving on both magazines. In addition, a nine month offer of $4 for Gargoyle, Time, and Life is being made. Other magazines which are being presented along with Gargoyle at spe- cial prices include Colliers, Esquire, Vanity Fair, Vogue, and American. The deadline for the short story contest in the first issue is October 1, Hall stated. For the November issue, all manuscripts must be in before Oc- tober 20. Manuscripts should be of the short. short story type, and must not exceed 1,000 words. They need not be humorous, Hall said, merely because they are being written for a humor magazine. "The short story contest," he com- mented, "is the outstanding feature of the new Gargoyle, since this is an entirely novel experiment in college magazines." 400 Freshmen Meet Council Rushing Fee Singleton Outlines Plan For Reducing Waste In Pledging_ ystem Money Derived Will Be FairlyDivided Registration Is Merely To A c q u a i n t Fraternities With Prospects Approximately 400 students have expressed a wish to be rushed by fraternities by registering at the In- terfraternity Council files in the Un- ion, according to Alvin P. Schleifer, '35, secretary. Five hundred students pledged fraternities last year so officials of the Council are highly pleased with the number of persons who register ed under the new system. Phillip Singleton, '35E, president of ,the Council, said yesterday that many freshmen have an erroneous impression of the plan. "They seem to feel that by registering they are pushing themselves upon fraterni- ties and asking to be rushed. They do not realize that they are merely making their addresses and phone numbers available," he said. Another objection to the plan cited by Singleton is that rushees believe it just another tax for money-mak- ing purposes. "The money derived f om registra- tion will go for several purposes," Singleton stated. First, it is being 'used to provide an adequate set of files for fraternity use. Second, to eliminate to a certain extent "chis- eling" of meals by rushees who never have any idea of pledging. Third, some good men arrive on the campus and are never rushed, according to Singleton. Under the new plan, such an occurrence is un- likely. The taxing system helps fraterni- ties because the money taken in goes to alleviate the membership dues of the fraternities in the Council. The money is apportioned fairly because the houses pledging the most men are indirectly paying more reg- stration fees, said Singleton. The Interfraternity Council office, on the third floor of the Union, will be open for registration by rushees and for examination of files by frat- ernity members between 3 p. m. and 5 p. m. every day. Union President Urges Immediate Registration With less than 1,000 students registered for Union memberships, President Allen D. McCombs, '35, urged that all men undergraduates who have not already become members for the current year reg- ister immediately. McCombs emphasized that stu- dents will be required to identify themselves in the future with membership cards, which they will receive at the time of registration, if they desire to avail themselves of the privileges of the building. All men students in the Uni- versity are eligible for membership and need only present their tuition receipts to register. Student com- mitteemen will be in the offices on the first floor of the Union build- ing from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. every afternoon for the purpose of regis- tration. Injury Will KeepRenner Out 5 Weeks Loss Of Quarterback Will Necessitate Change In Lineup And Attack Star Will Probably Be Out Of 3 Games Russ Oliver May Go To Quarter With Aug And TriplehornAt Half William Renner, Varsity quarter- back and passer, will be out of the line-up for from four to six weeks because of a fracture of a small boner in his left ankle received in Satur- day's scrimmage, it was reported late yesterday after X-ray examination of what was supposedly a slight in-i jury. Coach Harry Kipke was building his entire attack around an aerial game featuring Renner and said last .night that loss of the fragile quarterbackc would necessitate a complete revamp-t ing of his line-up and plan of attack.i Russell Oliver, made over from a fullback to a half at the start of this season, will now probably go to quar- ter. Regeczi will remain at full andr Vincent Aug and Howard Triplehornt will fill the halfback positions. Fer- ris Jennings, diminutive sophomore, will inherit the first string reserve quarterback post. Renner is virtually certain to be out of three games: Michigan State, Oct.e 6; Chicago, Oct. 13; and Georgia Tech, Oct. 20, but might be sufficient-I ly recovered to be used for a short time in the Illinois game, Oct. 27, and the Minnesota battle a week later.1 Kipke will probably use Renner when he returns in the same way he did last year, as a reserve quarter to be shot into the game when the stage ist set for a pass or when the threat ofI a pass is needed to spread the defense.1 Saturday's scrimmage took further toll among backfield candidates whent George Bolas tore several ligaments in his left leg while making a tackle., Bolas, who was a reserve quarterback last season, will be out for at least1 a month.r Dr. Frank Lynam, team physician, described Renner's injury as very similar to that received by Jack Hes- ton two years ago. A fracture of the same small bone kept Heston outJ for three weeks. Kipke yesterday gave RegecziOliv-I er, and Aug a long passing drill in the hope of developing a fair, if not brilliant, aerial attack before theI Michigan State game Oct. 6. How- ever, he will also place greater stress on building a capable running game around Triplehorn. Activity booklet Will Be Given To Engineers Pamphlet Giving Details Of Campus Activities To Be Gift Of Technic Designed to aid all Engineering students, particularly freshmen, who desire to participate in campus activi- ties, a booklet of information will be distributed at the Engineering As- sembly at 11:00 Wednesday through the courtesy of the Michigan Technic, Joseph E. Wagner, '35E, editor of the magazine, announced last night. The booklet, entitled "A Preview of Activities Open to Engineers," deals individually with more than twenty different lines of endeavor, explain- ing the requirements, the organiza- tion, and the complexities of each. Prefaced by introductory remarks by President Alexander G. Ruthven and Dean Herbert C. Sadler of the College of Engineering, the booklet is divided into sections on The Engi- neering Council, the Honor Council, professional societies, honor societies, publications, and the Michigan Union. The purpose of the pamphlet, ac- cording to Wagner, is to eliminate the apprehension and uncertainty which hampers most "green" men in going out for activities. At present, he added, a beginner must actually enter and take part in an activity before he really can find out just what it is like. The annual sales campaign of the Mimes Begins Planning 26th Annual Opera Name Oct. 15 As Deadline For Manuscripts In All- Campus Contest Preparations for staging the 26th annual Michigan Union Opera were made at the first meeting of Mimes of the Michigan Union held last week, according to William Bownson, pres- ident. Monday, Oct. 15 is the last date on which books will be accepted in an all-campus contest, it was decided. The members voted to award a $25 cash prize to the author of the book that is accepted by the committee of judges. Brownson requested that all stu- dents who have already completed manuscripts which they wish to sub- mit or are now working on them con- tact Allen D. McCombs, '35, president Although the organization was un- able to set a definite date for the local presentation of the production of the Union, at the student offices on the first floor of the Union. Students interested in writing either music or lyrics for the new pro- duction are also requested to com- municate with McCombs. William A. Dickert, who appeared in the production last year, "With Banners Flying," was appointed chairman of the book committee and will handle all manuscripts submitted, according to Brownson. the last school week in December prior to Christmas vacation was se- lected as a tentative date. Officials of the organization refused to comment on whether the produc- tion will make a road trip of neigh- boring cities. The Union opera was revived last year with the production, "With Ban- ners Flying," after it had been dis- continued because of financial diffi- culties following the 1929 show. The first production of the show was in 1907, and from that time until 1929 an opera was given every year except one, during the war. It grew from a local show with one presentation to a campus tradition! and became so popular that each opera was presented in New York, Detroit, Cleveland, and various other cities during Christmas vacation. City Council Plans New Sewage Plant At a special meeting held last night, the Common Council voted to adver- tise the sale of $345,000 worth of sew- age revenue bonds, thus taking one more step in compliance with gov- ernmental regulations for Public Works Admiiistration loans. With $120,000 more promised by the PWA if present negotiations are com- pleted, this means that Ann Arbor will have approximately $450,000 to begin work on its sewage plant, tenta- tively planned to start by the end of this year. A letter from Mortimer E. Cooley, state engineer, was read, in which he expressed himself as "very optimistic" that the government money would be forthcoming as soon as Ann Arbor had met qualifications. Will Take Stand Freshman Pot Is Doomed As Undergraduate Council Committee Votes Abolition Decide To Continue Class Games Under Direction Of Union Officials Committee Powers Made Last Spring First Time Tradition Has Failed To Receive Any Enforcement Ancient tradition of pot-wearing by members of the freshman class was abolished from the Michigan campus at a meeting of the executive commit- tee of the Undergraduate Council held last night at the Union, according to Carl Hilty, '35, president of the coun- cil. . COL. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH * * * Lindbergh Will Testify Against Kidnap-Suspect Case Against Hauptmann Defies Defense Claim Of Airtight Alibi (Copyright, 1934, by The Associated Press) NEW YORK, Sept. 24 - Three agencies of the law-detectives gath- ering fresh clues, prosecutors building an extortion case, and New Jersey officials pressing a murder charge- moved forward tonight against Bruno Richard Hauptmann, imprisoned as the key man in the Lindbergh kidnap- killing. On the defense side, attorney James M. Fawcett asserted he had informa- tion, which, if corroborated, would "split the case wide open," and term- ed an explanation of possession of the ransom money, received in a long personal conference with Haupt- mann, a "very good" one. Fawcett withheld details. The attorney said he had his own investigators at work over a consid- erable area and their inquiry would require several weeks. Meantime, he planned to talk to Hauptmann daily. Fawcett said he could not answer numerous questions because he had heard his client already had been indicted. He would not amplify that statement. District attorney Samuel J. Foley said he expected an indict- ment Wednesday, the day Col. Charles A. Lindbergh will appear be- fore the Bronx grand jury making the extortion investigations. Consulting with H. N o r m a n Schwartkopf, superintendent of state police, Attorney David T. Willintz of New Jersey said kidnaping and mur- der would be charged against Haupt- mann. Seven "John Doe" murder indictments already are available in New Jersey, but Willentz said it like- ly would be next week before extradi- tion proceedings would be started., Following up the statement of a physician that he had treated Haupt- mann in 1933 for a leg injury induced perhap's by a sprain or fracture, in- vestigators decided to X-ray Haupt- mann's ankle. The resolution of the committee was largely based upon the result of ast year's enforcement of the tradi- ion which showed, declared commit- tee meri'bers, that the tradition is "now out-dated." The council did not express disapproval of pot-wearing in itself, but decided that it was inad- visable to continue the tradition under present conditions. The effect of the action will be the same as an actual prohibition on pot-wearing, council members believe, as strong support has always been necessary to enforce it. This is the first time that the tradition has not been supported at least at the start of the school year. Checked Movement Last Year A movement against the tradition was checked at the beginning of last year when, the old Undergraduate Council passed a resolution to sup- port the tradition and secured the active support of some fraternities and of student leaders in campus ac- tvities. Support of the lass games tradi- tion was pledged by the executive committee in a second resolution passed at the meeting. This action was based upon the successful. revival f the games last year after a seeming apse in popularity, council members stated. The games will be managed, this year at least, by the Union, which instituted the drive for the revival of the games last fall. Committee Empowered In the reorganization of the Under- graduate Council which was carried out last spring, an executive council of four members was created to carry on the active powers of the Council, one of which is the power either to enforce or to drop traditions. Mem- bers of the executive committee in- clude the managing editor of The Daily and presidents of the council, the Women's League and the Union. The committee, which was created to increase the effectiveness of the council as a promotor and co-ordina- tor of campus activities, carries on the ordinary work which the whole body has been dealing with, saving the necessity of calling frequent meet- ings of the more cumbersome group. First Meeting Wednesday The entire body is to be assembled by the executive committee when its members consider it advisable to se- cure a concensus in regard to any question and when officers and mem- bers of the judicial committee are to be elected. The first regular meeting of the entire Undergraduate Council will be held at 5:00 p.m.Wednesday in the Union for the election of judicial committee members according to Hilty. As well as acting as an organ of the council, members of the judicial committee also sit with the faculty disciplinary committee where they hold the power of recommendation. Other matters to be considered are the suggestion that class presidents be included in the membership of the Council. Borah offers New Plank To Liberty League GENESEE, Ida., Sept. 24- M)- Asserting "this move to preserve lib- erty is an important undertaking," Senator William E. Borah tonight said American Liberty League is "not I too early in the field," but suggested it include "economic freedom" in its Kipke Describes Zone System In "Watch That Lateral Pass" Men Of '38 Surpass Former Classes In Physical Condition Head Football Coach Harry G.+ Kipke has for the third time ventur- ed into the journalistic field, writing a long article entitled "Watch That Lateral Pass" for the Saturday eve- ning Post, on sale today. In his latest article, written with the assistance of Harold A. Fitzger- ald, Kipke comments on "grandstand quarterbacks" and their place in the game, saying that he likes the techni- cal interest in the game showed by the spectators. When spectators no long- er hold post mortems or tell us how to run our teams, football will be on the wane, he writes. The bulk of the article is concern- ed with the duties of the quarterback in calling plays. Kipke divides the on. either first or second down and use simple plays only, no passes. The area between the two 40-yards lines is described by Kipke as the zone where long passes are permis- sable. The quarterback should kick after two downs unless seven or more yards have been made on the two plays. The area of greatest scoring possi- billity, says Kipke, is between the op- ponents 40 and 20-yard lines. He writes that here the defense is spread and any play is permissable. All the best trick and long-distance scoring plays should be used. The last zone described by Michi- gan's head coach is that one between the opponent's 20-yard line and the orri.1;n ig Nar 1,n -m enn nliane This year's freshman class has, shown such marked improvement in physical condition over its prede- cessors that Health Service physi-f cians are greatly interested in it, Dr.1 Maurice R. McGarvey, class doctor,c announced today.I "Complete data is not available1 yet," Dr. McGarvey said, "but judg-1 ing from my own experience, these freshmen are in the best physical condition I have ever seen." More "A" ratings were given this year than in any previous year, and the number of freshmen who may be physically unable to go on with col- lege is very much smaller, he stated. Dr. McGarvey said that this class I o Q-rm nAthainf_ aefofth Nnlfs know the verdict for a week at least." Dr. William M. Brace, who was in charge of the Health Service during the physical examinations, stated that the usual high number of cases of colds, infections, and foot ailments is making its appearance. He estimated that 11,000 cases would be handled by the staff during September and October. Because of the rush the first two months, Dr. Brace advised some up- perclassmen who wish a physical re- check to postpone it until November or December.
