Three faculty members and two graduate students of the chemistry department are attending the spring meeting of the American Chemical society in Cincinnati. The meeting will end April 7.

Sig Eps Will Hear Herman

Mr. Herman is an alumnus of the KU chapter. He was honorarily initiated in 1947.
Upon being informed by Mr. Herman's agent that the band was in this vicinity and would like to play for a chapter dance at the minimum union scale fee, the members of the fraternity raised the money and planned the dance. The band will arrive in the afternoon so the dance can be held early. Permission was obtained to have a party in the chapter house after 8 p.m. on a week night.
The band will arrive about 5 p.m. and will be served a buffet lunch-eon at the house prior to the dance. The chapter then will take the musicians to dinner after closing hours.
The chapter has invited all Sigma Phi Epsilon alumni living in Kansas and Missouri to the dance and expects a number of them to attend.

Moore Talks on American Short Story Writers
In comparing American short story writers of the 1890s, Geoffrey Moore, visiting professor from England, said Tuesday that American writers felt they had to develop an American style.
He said, "When comparing these writers we are dealing with people of different levels of sensibility. Sensibility is the degree to which one's senses are trained to intellectual stimuli.
"Stephen Crane had a journalistic approach to short story writing. He wrote what he considered as true to reality, brought literature down to reality."
Prof. Moore said Jack London's life and writing was typical of the life of the West.
"London did everything with enormous vitality. He became a reporter for the Hearst newspapers. He wrote too much for purely commercial reasons," he said.
The major theme of Sherwood Anderson's work is that all the people in his stories go off to find the truth. Anderson constantly wrote about frustrated people. He thought that contemporary man has no channel in which to direct his energies," Prof. Moore said.
