Students Will
Cheer at Pep
Rally Today
Wally Weber Will
Take Emcee Spot
The Army game weekend will get
underway today as students cheer
around a roaring bonfire at the pep
rally at Ferry Field before the biggest
gridiron clash of the 1946 football
season.
Start at Union
The rally will be organized at 7:30
p.m. on the steps of the Union and
will proceed from there to Ferry Field,
following the University Marching
Band in a torchlight parade.
Wally Weber, coach of the 'B' foot-
ball team and one of Michigan's fa-.
vorite emcees will hold the limelight
during the evening's proceedings fill-
ing both the emcee and featured
speaker spots.
As a new feature in Michigan pep
rallies, the Varsity Committee, spon-
sors of the rally, has asked each stu-
dent to bring a piece of wood and
throw it on the giant bonfire at Ferry
Field as they pass by in the parade.
Carry Banners
The committee also has suggested
that houses carry banners in tonight's
parade and use them again for the
Homecoming Weekend rally.
The cheerleaders, headed by Bill
McGowan, will be on hand to lead the
crowd in the parade and in singing
and cheers at the field.
Use Amphitheatre
The committee is asking students
to take advantage again of the nat-
ural amphitheatre at the field. The
hill going up to the highway on the
south side of the field forms an ideal
grandstand and by using it, a com-
mittee member said, everyone will be
able to see the band and cheerleaders
and speakers on the platform on the
level part of the field.
The rally tonight represents the
work of the Varsity Committee and
the newly-formed Pep Club, who are
working with the cheerleaders to co-
ordinate student participation in
sports activitie.
Band Will Play
Tribute to Yost
At Army Game
In addition to its regular forma-
tions, the University Marching Band
will play a special medley of numbers
in tribute to former Athletic Director,
the late Fielding H. Yost at half time
in tomorrow's game.
The Band will also do a special ar-
rangement of "Varsity" by William D.
Revelli, conductor of the band.-
The performances of both Army's
Academy Band and Michigan's
Marching Band tomorrow should be
'especially interesting to spectators
because they will demonstrate two
distinct types of presentations,
George Cavender, publicity manager
of the University organization, said.
While the Academy group will exe-
cute precision marching and military
maneuvers, the Michigan Band will
display regular formations.
Entering the Stadium at 1:10 p.m.,
the Academy Band wil parade with

314 men from the First Class of the
U. S. Corps of Cadets before the game
begins. They will be led by Cadet
William J. Schuder, Brigade Com-
mander of the Military Academy.
The Michigan Band, led by Revelli
and Assistant Director Harold Fer-
guson, will then enter the field, form
a block "A" to honor Army, and
march to the south goal for the flag-
raising ceremony.
Freshman Pleads
Guilty in Auto Theft
Donald T. Itzov, 23-year-old Uni-
versity freshman charged with un-
lawfully driving away an automobile
belonging to his landlord has entered
a plea of guilty in the circuit court.
A student from Iron Mountain,
Mich.,' Itzov was remanded to the
county jail to await sentence for his
fifth Ann Arbor offense.

Bonus Hunters
Track Down
Wrong Arnold
Frederic J. Arnold, of Ann Arbor,
finds that the "wrong number" can
induce jangled nerves in no time at
all.
All day Wednesday Arnold and his
wife were besieged by Air Corps re-
serve officers in this areaseeking in-
formation on the $500 yearly bonus
announced by the Army.
Readers of The Daily had been di-
rected to a Capt. Fred Arnold, com-
manding officer of the Ann Arbor
Reserve Officers' Association, for
claffication of their status.
Frederic Arnold, who has no con-
nection with thedReserve Officers'As-
sociation, issued a call for help last
night.
For the information of prospective
bonus recipients, Capt. Arnold may
be reached at Ann Arbor phone num-
ber 2-7255 or 4289.

Village Moving
Req nests Will
Be Considered
Dean Joseph A. Bursley, Veterans'
Coordinator Walter Farris and Di-
rector of Residence Halls Francis. C.
Shiel will meet today to consider ap-
plications from several Willow Village
residents for permission to move into
Ann Arbor.
Although Village residents may
cancel their housing contracts with
the Federal Public Housing Authority
on three-day notice, students who
wish to do so must first obtain Uni-
versity administration approval. This
is necessary because of a Board of
Regents ruling which delegates re-
sponsibility for housing arrange-
ments to the Office of the Dean of
Students and the Offices of the Dean
of Women for men and women stu-
dents respectively.
The committee will hold "emer-
gency" need as the only valid reason
for permission to move into the city,
even though the applicant may al-
ready have found quarters in Ann Ar-
bor. They explained that it is ex-
tremely important for the University
to keep Willow Village housing units
allocated to students occupied so that
they will not be moved out of that
area.
Applications for transfer must be
filed at the Office of the Dean of Stu-
dents at least 10 days prior to the
moving date requested.
A letter from Vice-President Rob-
ert P. Briggs, fully explaining the
University's position, is published on

all other Danubian states and the big

the political articles in 45 minutes
with little difficulty.

mania's armed forces to 125,000 men
for the army, 5,000 men and 15,000
tons of shipping for the navy and 100
combat and 50 transport planes and

puted Danubian and commercial
clauses.

Packers Enter
Formal Petition
To Force Issue
Anderson Promises
Immediate Reply
By /!e Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-With the
question of easing meat controls to
the fore, President Truman went into
a huddle tonight with key advisors,
including the two who would draft
any executive order.
The decontrol issue was placed
squarely up to the administration in
a formal petition of the beef packers,
backed by sworn statements that
livestock on the hoof is plentiful.
Petition Anderson
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson,
to whom the petition was made,
promised a speedy answer. He pre-
sumably will be governed by the Pres-
ident's position.
That was emphatically against re-
moving ceilings two weeks ago. But a
question mark appeared today when
the President at his news conference
declined to comment when asked
whether he still holds that view.
No Decision
The session at the White House
reached no decision, press secretary
Chares G. Ross reported, and the full
Cabinet will review meat shortage to-
morrow. Ross sai tonight's meeting
"was simply a session in which the
President listened to these men."
They included both Attorney General
Clark and Clark Clifford, presidential
legal counsel, as well as officials di-
rectly concerned with meat.
Democratic chairman Robert E.
Hannegan was one of the conferees.
The others were Undersecretary of
the Treasury O. Max Gardner, Un-
der-secretary of State Will Clayton,
reconversion Director John R. Steel-
man, Price Administration Paul Por-
ter, Richard H. Field of the OPA and
Robert H. Shields of the Agriculture
Department. Anderson himself was
out of town.

commit himself on the question of
meat price controls today, in con-

LEADERS:
Melton Lauds
Progress in
Musicianship
The incentive of the American de-
mand for music-any kind-is pro-
ducing an amazing degree of musical
advancement in American youth,
James Melton said yesterday.
Pointing out the prevalence of
musical education in public schools,
the large number of musical scholar-
ships offered all over the country and
the excellence of the advanced train-
ing available to aspiring musicians,
the Metropolitan tenor said that
America has assumed leadership of
the musical world.
"There's no longer any reason why
a musician should study in Europe,"
he added.
Melton, who sang before a capacity
audience in the first concert of the
Choral Union Series last night, char-
acterized the increase in musical con-
sciousness as a long-time movement,
not just a part of post-war entertain-
ment craze.
"Every large city in the United
States has a symphony orchestra,"
he said, "and a good one at that." He
went on to explain that the growing

interest in music as such has rubbed
out the lines separating "long-hair"
and popular music. "Musical pro-
grams are becoming broader all the
time," he said.
