DUDLEY BUCK PRAISES STUDENTS OF KANSAS
THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
Famous Voice Instructor Thinks Fine Arts School Does Good Work
"I have seen a marked improvement both in technical ability and in musical appreciation in my students from Kansas and the Middle-west is the past fifteen years," said Dudley Buck in an interview recently.
"When I first held my teaching courses in New York during the summer, some twenty years ago, the western students who *Zime* to me were so poorly trained, so ignorant that I marveled they had the nerve to sing. In one of our classes, we gave good voice teachers all over the country and Kansas has its share. In the field of singing, I think the United States leads the world in the number of good teachers. Of course one still goes to the European masters for the finishing touches, but for technical training, it takes a lot of work. And there are good ones in all parts of the country; Kansas is no exception."
the way in which the people respond to music was commented upon favorably. They show an enjoyment of really good music, Mr. Buck said. "The appreciation of good music is a matter of training and not necessarily of native taste. Good music, artistically presented, is in time bound to be understood and liked by the public. It is a matter of education. And in that respect again, Dean Butler is doing a splendid thing for Kansas students. The artists brought here for the concert courses so the very best of their opportunity to have them in Lawrence. Men and women who attend the concerts in these courses cannot help going out of the University with a greater appreciation of music than that which they had noon entering.
In regard to the instruction and training given in the School of Fine Arts here, Mr. Buck said, "Dean Butler has done a fine work here and is building up the school all the time. He has made a very strong school of it. It is like any other school in the University; its aim is to teach you how to study. And the graduate of the School of Fine Arts do know how." The training given here is equal to that of similar schools in the East. The students who come to me for lessons are intelligent, well trained, and appreciative."
Speaking of the taste of people, Mr. Buck said, "Jazz will go. It is noise, not music. Rantime will probably stay in one form or another. It is syncapation and that has always been found in musical usage."
Phi Mu Alpha, honorary musician fraternity, added another celebrated name to its roll when Dudley Buck, the noted teacher teacher from New York City, was initiated into mem bursahin Thursday night.
What is the Beast, And Why is it Kept There?
No small amount of speculation has been advanced as to why the goat. (or is it a sheep) is being kept in Snow Hall. Some maintain that he is being kept there to chase out the rats.
Gats had been used before for this purpose but the rats had grown so big that it became impossible to keep a cat inside the building for a period long enough to do any good. Small rat dogs were then tried, but soon they too were out grown. Students fervently hope that the goat will be more successful. The rats are really dangerous situation. They are going so tame that someone may stumble over one and receive a fall resulting in bodily harm. Luck to you Billy—may your whiskers grow longer.
"READING HABIT IS DYING"
That is the View of Indiana Novelist
"People have just about quit reading. In a few years, perhaps, they will not think it necessary to read at may drop out of the children's curall, and the first of the three R'iculum."
That is the view of Meredith Nicholson, Indiana novelist, expressed while a visitor in St. Louis. He blames the movies, auto and radio.
"In my earlier years, people thought reading was one of the best ways to spend their time. When the slitting room lamp was lighted, and his slippers were adjusted, my grandfather would read for the entire evening.
"Perhaps some grandfathers are still doing that now, but the present generation has found other things to do," she said. "I think mobile to keep the people on the move."
"Then came the movies, which take further time which might otherwise be given to books and periodicals. And now comes the radio, which not only offers music reading, but it appears unnecessary for most people to read at all.
“As we eat our breakfast in the future, the news may be recited to us with perhaps a showing of pictures by some person installed on the television with the radio.
"It is a serious matter for writers of books, and perhaps for newspapers also. Perhaps we shall have to handle the politicians' motto: 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.' Some of us have already done that to some extent, by our contribution to the movies."
Nicholson's fiction successes include "The House of the Thousand Candles," "The Port of Missing Men," and "A Hoover Chronicle.

The two avoided the signs as they cut across the grass and reaching the other side of the road they passed the Law Building with quieted pace. "If I only dared, I believe I can have a good story in them," said one.

"That's not a hobby," he objected. "it's an acquisition."
"Better not sit them up again," returned the other. So the two wended their way toward West Ad, where hobbies are substituted for specialization. They passed two ladies who were burdened with great papua nuts. The women glanced at the building the other side of the road.

As they hurried on they passed a
professor through whose classes
they had slept for eight hours. She
wanted him to not hit him but
he did not notice them. The second
cub scratched "observation" from his
list.

The two next found themselves before a door of a department office in West Ad. One of them, having written nothing about that department for several days mustered up enough courage to enter. There was no one in the room but on one of the desks was a large memorandum pad. The cubed added "memory helps" list and an essay about the memorandum laid out of the pad was written "Questions for Friday's quiz." This was scratched out and just below was written, "needed for the summer's fishing trip; 1, twelve foot canoe, 2 army blankets, water proof sleep bag, 4 mosquito bars, herb
leaping bag, 4 hoodquito bars, near corse, George Washington evaporated coffee, beaten biscuit, pup test, to compare notes the first gave up in small aluminum skillet, cup, knife, in despair. The second attacked then
surfing, rent, suit and jeep.
This enterprising cub entered from the department just in time to see his companion carried in the jam of students as they hurried from their class rooms. He drew aside to wait for the professors As he heard some still still holding out in their class rooms he wrote viciously, "hold classes overtime."
10Fk and spoon; fishing rods, fresh shrimp, rifle, salt and pepper."
The second cub fell in behind two professors and was quite surprised to hear one of them say, "yes I used to play here on the campus but I sliced so many balls into Potter lake that the authorities ordered the location of the links changed in order that the water in the lake might be conserved for protection against fire in the campus."
When the cub reached the news room the items in his note book included "golf, fishing, shooting, base ball, home brew, study of birds, story writing, movies, horse-back riding, liking, carrying, personal help to stay inside late hours at theater, special meetings on Sunday, after-afternoons."
But to return to the first reporter; when he reached the sidewalk he was able to get out of the jam and was about to re-center the building to a nice, sunny day. My shot on us a quiz that would make Socrates feel like an idiot."
Hiring season short now. Better let us help you.
At this time we solicit especially degree teachers.
"Yes, that's a hobby of his," returned the other. With note book and pencil in hand the cub followed. He dodged in and out among the students and when he finally arrived the girl's arm fell over him, that the following additional notations in his book: "long dry lectures, work and more of it, jokes; women and married men preferred, reminiscences, razzing the unprepared, note books; learning about science,ferences, helping students to get a job and keeping track of old grades."
