An Italian spokesman told the As- sociated Pres that the concessions, portending a possible peace in Africa, were included in a statement given to Premier Pierre Laval of France. Italy's views of how the war could be settled, it was said, were outlined in the statement. The informant said although Italy still insists upon her rights for security and expansion, that the statement contains definite concessions from Italy's original po- sition. A discordant note from Ethiopia clashed with a conciliatory keynote in closing speeches today. An im- portant appeal arrived from the Ethiopian delegation for funds. (Copyrighted, 1935, by Associated Press) ADDIS AB~ABA, Nov. 2. - (A') - Daily attacks at dawn upon an Italian transport column, the Ethiopian gov- ernment claimed today, are forcing a Fascist retreat in the northeast. In one of its pfficial announce- ments of success in the month-old war, the government said guerilla tactics of the Assaifera tribe were resulting in numerous Fascist cas- ualties. The scene of the "retreat" was said to be northwest of Mt. Mussa Ali. Italians are establishing an aviation base there. Italians were said to be advancing toward Immemi plains but with Danakil tribesmen staying on their flanks and bothering the enemy with night snipings. Italian airplanes, in retaliation, were said to be flying over Danakil territory daily, using bombs and ma- chine guns upon warriors below. Authoritative sources said Ethiopia has made plans to rush troops into the central sector to prevent any Italian march upon the vital railroad running from Addis Ababa to Dji- bouti French Somaliland, Ethiopia's only modern access to the sea and the outside world. For three hours the emperor re- viewed thousands of barefooted war- riors. Shouting fanatical war cries, the tribesmen filed past the Emperor, who was seated on his throne on the balcony of his palace. Cure Is Suggested For 'Wild Thinking' PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 2. -(A)- Prof. Christian Gauss, dean of the college at Princeton University, said today that freedom of discussion is the best antidote for "wild think- ing" of undergraduates on political, economic and social subjects. In his annual report to Dr. Harold W. Dodds, president of the Univer- sity, Dean Gauss said the "campus playboy" is becoming an "outworn tradition'" and added that the "aver- age undergraduate is consciously, sometimes even too self-consciously, a young intellectual, a student and scholar." "It is fair to say the present gen- eration of undergraduates is more serious than its predecessors," he stated. "We must not forget that increased interest in economic and political problems is occasionally bound to express itself in extrava- gant forms." He nointed to changes that have The Campus--A Rowdy Old Place In Those Bygone Days Fumble On Three-Yard Line Delays Michigan Score Memories Of Sixty Years Ago Are Recalled By Veteran Bookseller By MARSHALL D.

Cowin SpeakTonight Meeting To Be Held At Congregational Church; Glee Club ToSing "Religion and Politics Look At War" will be the subject of a convo- cation at 8:00 p.m. tonight at the Congregational Church, sponsored by the Inter-Guild Federation. Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the history department and the Rev. Fred Cowin, pastor of the First Church of Christ of Ann Arbor, will be the speakers. Professor Slosson will discuss the topic from the political point of view, bringing out the significance of the present neutrality policy, the League of Nations, and the justifiability of war. Reverend Cowin, who has re- cently returned from Europe, will present the religious concept of the problem. This meeting tonight is the first of a series which will be presented by the Inter-Guild Federation which was organized last spring. The Var- sity Glee Club will be included on tonight's program. There will be a student forum at 9:45 a.m. the Presbyterian Church, led by Mr. Kunkel. The subject un- der discussion is "The Tide of Re- ligion - Going Out Or Coming In?" At 10:45 a.m. Dr. Lemon will preach on "The Crux of Christianity." At 5:30 p.m. there will be a student fel- lowship hour in the dining and recre- ation room of the Masonic Temple, where a plate lunch will be served.

At 11:00, (Coninued on Page 2) DRUIDS TO MEET Druids will meet at 6 p.m. today in the Union, it was announced yester- day by William R. Reed, president.i Those were the days when State street was a two-way dirt drive, when seniors wore high plug hats, when the cigar store had a wooden Indian in front, recalls Mr. Slater, who well re- members the cigar store because his present store is on exactly the same spot now. Pictures of the campus in those days, and of some of the prominent figures of the time have been dug out of an old album, and, in honor of Homecoming Week, are being dis- played in the windows of the College Book Shop by Mr. Slater. Among the more dramatic episodes in the spotty history of Michigan's undergraduates is the memorable time when students demolished the old Star Theater, which stood on Washington street between Main and Fourth. 'Twas a stormy day, recalls Mr. Slater, in a metaphorical way. "A pugnacious underclassman, sitting in the theater one afternoon with his feet in the aisle, had the misfortune of tripping the manager, who was un- popular with the students. The man- ager called the burly watchman and together they threw the offending student neatly between the doors and° onto the street. But revenge was not long in com- ing. The student, his dignity of- fended, told his story to the rest of the campus, and that evening from 500 to 1,000 young men, armed with eggs, jars of bad fruit, bad apples, and offended dignities stormed the theater, tore up the seats, tied a rope around the piano and hauled it into (Continued on Page 2) Effigy Of Quaker Wins Fraternity Decoration Prize An effigy of a Pennsylvania Quakerr firmly locked in old-time New Eng-t land "stocks" with only his feet, hands and square hat protruding wonE for Sigma Chi fraternity the inter-f fraternity homecoming decorationr cup, donated by Goldman Brothers,I yesterday.r In the center of the "stocks" was printed a large "Penn's" with a "D" printed below the "Penn's" and im- mediately above the protruding feetc of the Quaker-a subtle way of say- ing "Penn's Defeat."

Rachmaninoff To Play Here OnWednsda Famous Russian To Give Second t Union Concert Pianist Choral The interest of music lovers in this section of the state will center in Ann Arbor Wednesday night as Sergei Rachmaninoff, famous Russian pia- nist, appears in the second concert of the current Choral Union series. Advance indications are that Hill Auditorium will be completely filled for the concert, as Rachmaninoff's numerous appearances in Ann Arbor previous to this engagement have made him a popular favorite. There are still a few desirable seats left in all locations however, which may be secured at the offices of the School of Music on Maynard Street, accord- ing to President Charles A. Sink. The program which Rachmaninoff will play Wednesday is as follows: 32 Variations, C minor, Beethoven; Three Sonatas, Scarlatti; Sonata, B minor, Chopin; Poeme, and Etude, Scriabin; Fairy Tale, Medtner; Scherzo, Borodin; Barcarolle, Ruben- stein; Etude, and Prelude, Rachman- inoff; and Etude - Caprice, Doh- nanyi. Rachmaninoff's fame as a pianist is only slightly greater than that which he has achieved as a composer, and the two selections of his own which he will play in the concert here are among the most popular of his compositions. He has been noted ever since he first played a number of his own compositions with the Phil- harmonic Society in London, almost immediately receiving international acclaim. Two noted pianists have been en- gaged on this year's Choral Union concert series,. Rachmaninoff being the first, to be followed after the hol- idays by Myra Hess. Wednesday's concert will begin at 8 :15 p.m., and President Sink issued a special request that all patrons be in their seats a few minutes before this time, as the doors will be closed promptly and there willbe no seating during numbers. He also warned that stubs must be retained and those leaving the building during the inter- mission will be required to show them before they will be re-admitted. New Deal Entering Most Crucial Era WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. - (P) - The Roosevelt New Deal is entering upon a period regarded by some of its principals as perhaps the most criti- cal in its history. Within a matter of weeks, probably before the last leaf is torn from the 1935 calendar, such questions as these must be settled: Will success or collapse write the Lawyers Balked In Attempt To Assert TheirMasculinity The elaborate scheme rigged up by the law students to re-establish on the gridiron their maligned mascu- linity has gone pffft! -at least for this year. With a large squad of experienced football players, a worthy opposing team from the medical school, and enthusiasm running high in both camps, the lawyers bumped bluntly against a dearth of equipment. They had been planning to borrow uniforms from the University sports department, but the University has refused them on the grounds that lack of conditioning for the game would make injuries probable. The lawyers argued, pleaded, and connived, even offering to charge ad- mission to the game and give the proceeds to charity, but their appeal was quashed. However, the University proposed that next year, when there is more time, both teams get into condition for a game. In that case, officials said, they will not only supply equip- ment for such a contest, but will also furnish a coach. Japanese Tighten Grip Upon China PEIPING, China, Nov. 2. -(V)- The shifting of the world's spotlight from East Asia to East Africa is giv- ing the Japanese army a chance to consider its recently-won gains in North China with a minimum of un- wanted ballyhoo. But in their efforts to set up a pro- Japanese atmosphere in North China, Nippon's militarists are running up against unlooked-for obstacles. There is that problem, for instance, of what to do about North China's new "strong man"-Gen. Suang Cheh Yuan-whose emergence to power has been one of the surprise developments of the year.

Quakers Rally, But Too Late Renner's Pass And Sweet's Plunging Give Varsity First-Half Lead Field Goal Clinches Game For Michigan Homecoming Crowd Sees Vastly Improved Team; Murray Penn Star By WILLIAM R. REED Two 60-minute football teams bat-s tled through the best game seen in Michigan Stadium since 1933, yester- day, with Michigan emerging the winner over Pennsylvania, 16 to 6. Scoring twice in the first half after they had taken advantage of a break on the kickoff to put the Quakers on the defensive throughout the first quarter, the Wolverines won with a superior display of hard, clean foot- ball. The first Michigan touchdown came late in the first quarter, but the play throughout the period was confined almost entirely within the Quaker 40-yard line after Ed War- wick had been nailed on his three yard line when he fumbled Chris Everhardus' opening kickoff. Michigan lost a touchdown afew plays later after passes from Captain Bill Renner to Everhardus and Matt Patanelhi took the ball to the Penn- sylvania three. There, on first down, John Smithers lost the ball as he went through the line to give the ball to the Quakers on their six. Play Is In Quaker Territory With the ball going outside the Pennsylvania 40 but once after that, Michigan took the ball on the Penn- yylvania 36. There Stark Ritchie, whose play during the current sea- son had never approached the prom- Ise made by him last year as a fresh- nan as the result of a broken ankle suffered in the first week of practice, replaced Everhardus at halfback. Taking the ball on the first play, behind a screen of blockers, Ritchie swept wide around his left end and cut back to run to the Quaker 12. On a reverse two plays later, Ritchie again carried the ball, to the three- yard line. On first down, Ritchie started a wide end run, lateralled to Renner, and with Art Valpey standing alone in the end zone the Michigan captain threw a touchdown pass to the soph- Bmore end. Steve Remias failed to -onvert as the ball hit an upright. Keeping the play evenly distributed ,nor the rest of the half, Michigan scored again in the middle of the second period when Cedric Sweet, whose line plunging was the feature oif the Wolverine attack, went over °ennsylvania's right guard for 18 lardsand a touchdown, after he bad evaded the Quaker secondary. Remias made his try for extra point. Penu Team Stages Rally After both teams had fought ;hrough a close quarter, Pennsyl- vania began a drive in the final, pe- riod which took them from the Mich- igan 37 where a fumbled punt by Bill Barclay gave the Quakers the ball, to a score, principally on the running of rank Murray, whose 25-yard run took the ball to a scoring position. Bill Kurlish went over from the two- yard line for the score. Near the end of the quarter, after Mel Kramer had recovered on the 17- yard line a Pennsylvania kick blocked by Ernie Pederson, John Viergever put the game on ice for Michigan with a field goal from the 10-yard line. For the fifth successive Saturday, Michigan showed tremendous im- provement to win its fourth straight game. Charging harder and blocking harder on offense, the Wolverines held the edge throughout the game, and on defense improved tackling (Continued on Page 6) 9,850 Students Are Enrolled In University, Figures Show A net total of 9,850 students or a total of 11,679 counting extension courses are registered in the Uni- versity of Michigan, according to a count of students made Friday and released yesterday morning by Dr. Frank E. Robbins, assistant to the President. This figure represents a gain of 853 from last year, or an increase of 9.3 per cent from the 1934-35 figures. 7,133 men are enrolled, and the coeds total 2,717. Leading the list of schools and col- leges in enrollments is the Literary College, with 4,558 enrolled, and the College of Enginereing follows with 1,533. The College of Pharmacy is the smallest of the 13 groups listed School was 1,455, with a 20.8 per cent gain over last year. The schools of Nursing and For- estry and Conservation are the only two groups on the list which are non- coeducational. Five'"women are en- rolled in the College of Engineering and in the School of Business Admin- istration, and 11 each in law and pharmacy studies. A report of the Summer Session en- rollment shows a total of 4,066, an increase of 794 students or 24.3 per cent over the previous session. The highest enrollment was that of the Graduate School, with 2,025 entered. Attendance at the School of Forestry and Conservation summer term at Camp Filibert Roth was exactly doubled, while the pharmacy group 8 a is t c t l r. t 1 'I u c k 1 n By RICHARD G. HERSHEY Charles Baird, '95L, the Kansas City banker who gave the University a $64,000 carillon, did not want to talk about his gift and wny he gave it in an interview yesterday. He en- joyed much more to tell about the time when he was helping the small Michigan athletic plant of the 1890's become the great part of the Univer- sity it now is. The first position Baird held in re- spect to athletics was the manager- ship of the football team during 1893, 1894, and 1895. "During these days," he said, "the student manager was elected by the student body and the manager and about twenty other students consti- tuted the Board of Ahletics. There Donor Of New $64,000 Carillon Prefers To Talk About Football ranged between Chicago alumni and Baird, and the stipulation of the profits that Michigan should receive was settled by the managers. After graduating in 1895, a mem- ber of Phi Beta Kappa, despite as he said, "athletes and men in ath- letic activities were frowned upon by the faculty men," Baird returned in 1898 and held the position of Grad- uate Manager of Athletics. Later this title was changed to the present one, Director of Athletics., It was during the period between 1900 and 1906 that most of the im- provements in the athletic equip- ment were made, Baird said. Prior to this time - very early in the 1900's - there was only a small playing field, with no stands, and only a fence
