SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
"Jubilee" Concert List Is Planned
Series for '37-'38 Has Seven Musical Numbers and Two Extra Events; Opera Opens Season.
Seven outstanding musical events, together with two extra attractions, will make up an unusually fine 1937-38 concert series at the University, it was announced today by Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts, who has charge of the series.
Slated as a "jubilee year" array of musical talent, to commemorate the 35th consecutive annual season of the course and the 15th consecutive year under present management, the series will have several more numbers than in past school terms.
Opening the season on Oct. 26th will be the Century Grand Opera company, New York, with a group of celebrated singers including Leonora Corona and Annunciata Garrotto; an orchestra composed of former Metropolitan Opera players; and a chorus from the Philadelphia Grand Opera company. Its contract here calls for "Pagliacci" and "Cavalleria Rusticana."
Rudolph Serkin, pianist, who has achieved renown both in this country and in Europe, is listed to play on Nov. 8th, while a big event of the year will take place on Dec. 8th, a month later, when Heifetz, world-famous violinist, and considered one of the three greatest on his instrument, appears in concert. The other two, Kreisler and Elman, have played here during the last two years.
An event of great interest is expected with the appearance Jan. 14th of Marian Anderson, Negro contralto hailed as having perhaps the most beautiful voice of any 20th century singer.
Karl Krueger's Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra, annual headliner on the concert series, is scheduled in February.
First of the two extra attractions is the Monte Carlo ballet, known also as the Ballet Russe, a company over 100 persons with its own orchestra, which makes a one-day appearance in the auditorium.
Two major attractions are listed also for March: Emanuel Feuermann, European 'cellist', and Vronsky and Babin, sensational two-piano team noted for their dash and ensemble on the two instruments. They were featured during the past season on popular radio programs, including the Rudy Vallee and Bing Crosby hours.
The Clavilux or "color organ," which Dean Swarthout introduced here 12 years ago, will be brought to the auditorium during the first week in May. It gives on the screen a recital in color instead of sound. The Clavilux excited great enthusiasm when it was shown here before, and is expected to thrill audiences again with its beauty. It will be the second of the extra attractions.
Miss Estelle Engle, of the fine arts office, is making reservations, and will be glad to take any from persons desiring to secure particular seats for the series.
The best turnout of the summer season resulted Tuesday night when Prof. Bert Nash of the education faculty addressed the education forum.
University Graduates Land Jobs At Encouraging Rate, Report Shows
Jobs are more numerous in many lines of activity this year than last, or the year before, according to reports from several placement bureaus at the University.
"Calls for men from the School of Engineering and Architecture were 100 per cent greater than last year," reports F. A. Russell, chairman of the executive committee."More calls than could be filled came for men in the top one-third of the class scholastically, with good character and personality."
Early Placements
L. N. Flint, chairman of the journalism department, said that graduates of that department were being placed unusually early this year, since June graduates often have had to wait until fall to find openings. This year, practically every journalism major is at work already.
Frank T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business, had the same report for the graduates from his school.
Demand for teachers is somewhat ahead of last year, says H. E. Chandler, of the teachers placement bureau. "The fields in greatest demand this summer have been in music, home economics, commerce, and physical education," said Professor Chandler, explaining that these departments were curtailed during the depression, and now are being resumed.
Places All
T. H. Marshall, professor of chemical engineering, said all his graduates had been placed, and in some instances men who have another year of college have been interviewed, with prospects of placement a year hence.
In connection with the situation in engineering, Professor Russell said there were numerous calls for engineers to enter sales work. Oil companies are absorbing an unusually large number of new men, and the railroads are employing them for civil and electrical engineering.
"Items stressed by interviewers,"
said Professor Russell, "are: above average in scholarship, personality, character, industry, and traits of leadership."
Starting salaries for engineers have ranged from $110 to $135 a month.
Contributors' Column
"I am very sorry," he said in a calm polite voice, "but I am going to put you and my friends to considerable trouble. I fear my end is near."
Marconi
So said Marconi to his valet, on the evening of his death. We are so accustomed to excusing genius for its bad manners. Rudeness, crudeness and downright selfishness are the expression we have learned almost to expect from genius.
Thus an expression so generous, so humble, so polite—coming from one to whom the great paid homage—is refreshing and inspiring. It is interesting to note that 50,000 of his friends were "put to the considerable trouble" of attending his funeral—and that Mussolini was first in arriving to pay respects to the dead body. L.G.

There is a crippled boy on our street. Although young, his face is old, his twisted feet.
Are dragged along by crutches. Eyes that are kind
Watch you and me arm-in-arm. His mind,
Near genius, they say. Yet why must he cling
To mortal gifts that seem so trivial, while everything
I need, I have? Why was he so born
I need, I have? Why was he so born
And not I, destined to fill this piti-
able form
That makes me ashamed of my free
Body and strong legs? Will there ever be
A compensation great enough in life for
Him to whom love will be an eternally locked door?
What does he think of when he sees you kiss
Me in the starlit shadows of the tall lilacs? Does he miss
The petty human desires that I would want and need?
Or has God been kind to him and given him the seed
Of something, not to be held in the palm of one's hand.
But a thing far more beautiful than I shall ever have, or know, or understand?
Joan Short.

OH-0-0-0-
Earl Shaffer.
I walked to town with a poet friend And window shopped for hours on end.
But she had not a word to say Until we saw a gas display
Of brightly colored cotton frocks
And matching hues in curtler skins.
"My dear, how perfectly entrancing."
Her eyes were brown and dancing. "Those pretty greens and small white checks
With quaint puffed sleeves and square cut necks
With that she turned and went inside
Exactly match my pantry shelf. I'll have to have one for myself, And now let's buy a dress for you To match your pantry paper too." With that she turned and went in
side,
I felt a blush I could not hide
And shivers crept up to my hair—
She does not know my shelves are
bare!
Series Ends
Yesterday saw the conclusion of a three-day series of discussions on stage and speech topics. Professors Allen Crafton and E. C. Buehler of the department of speech and dramatic arts addressed groups in Fraser theater.
