Chamber Music Concert Starts
The second concert in the Chamber Music series will be presented at 8 p. m. Monday, Nov. 16, in Strong auditorium with a performance by Pro Musica Antiqua from Belgium.
Classed by critics as one of the foremost chamber music groups of today, it was founded in Brussels by its director, Safford Cape, in 1833. Under the sponsorship of the Belgian musicologist, Prof. Charles van der Borren, Pro Musica Antiqua devotes itself to the study and performance of medieval and Renaissance music.
The group consists of a vocal quintet (soprano, contralto, two tenors, and baritone); a quintet of early instruments (three voles, lute, and recorder), and the director.
The New York Times said of one of its concerts, "The effect was entrenching, and credit must go to all the performers for their unfailingly restrained and elegant execution."
The entire repertoire from the 13th century to the end of the 16th has been studied and performed in hundreds of concerts in Belgium, France, Holland, Great Britain, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Italy, Germany, Canada, and the United States.
Tickets for the performance here are $1.79 each and are on sale at the Fine Arts office. ID cards will not admit students.
Court Defines
(Continued from page 1)
ASC constitutional provision giving juried trial for the Kansan Court, and that further the Kansan Board was an instrumentality of the state and as such could not be sued without state permission.
Each of the four points of the defendant's demurrow were being taken up separately and decision rendered after each. The Court retired to its chambers for an hour and a half to decide on this point that the Kansan group ASC definition and is not an instrumentality of the state.
Before reaching this holding for the plaintiff, the Court returned to question both counsels further. Ten years later, the decision was reached before the decision was reached.
The first action of the Court shortly after 7 p.m. was considering the qualification of Justice Letty Lemon, journalism senior and member of the Kansan Board, to sit on the court for the case.
After an hour of discussion in chambers, the Court disqualified Justice Lemon by a vote of 4-0. Presiding Chief Justice Andreas expressed "complete confidence in the integrity and lack of bias" of Miss Lemon, but said the Justices found she had to be disqualified according to law.
Alan Kent Shearer, third year law, disqualified himself as chief justice at the Oct. 28 court session. At that time both parties of the case asked for more time to prepare. The trial was set at that time for Nov. 18.
Early in the evening the courtroom was well-attended. After midnight only the two counsels, a Dally Kansan reporter, the court clerk, and a tired Court heard Andreas read the decision.

The gauge of the railway tracks on British railways—four feet, eight and a half inches—was copied from the ruts made by the wheels of Roman chariots on Emperor Hadrians' wall more than 1,800 years ago.
To provide faster travel on British railways 126 trains will be sped up from 10 to 60 minutes, and 27 start-to-stop train will be run at 60 miles an hour compared with three last winter.

SpanishCivilWarDeath Caused KU 'Witchhunt'
By CHUCK MORELOCK
The Spanish civil war of the 1930s is a dead issue to most Kansans today. But the death of one of its participants led to one of the biggest uphears that has ever hit the KU campus.
The main object of its proceeding was to find out the source of the money which enabled Henry to travel to Spain. A search of his trunk in Dodge City resulted in the discovery of membership applications for a Young Communist league at KU. Then two mysterious letters from his triptych were fashioned by Regroups in Kansas City or New York. This point, however, was never cleared up.
On Sept. 3, 1937, Don Henry, a 19-year-old University student, died of wounds suffered during a drive by the Communist-backed Loyalist forces against the Facists. The Dodge City youth was a member of the Loyalist Lincoln battalion—a volunteer outfit comprised primarily of 500 American college students. His death raised no stir outside the state and campus; he was regarded as just another casualty.
Such was not the case in Kansas, however. Immediately upon hearing of the tragic death of his son, Ed Henry demanded an investigation of possible communistic activities at KU. For he suspected that his son's enthusiasm for the Loyalist cause was fanned by his associates at Mt. Oread and that a Red organization operating on the campus might have provided funds for his travel expenses.
A probe was launched by Chancellor Lindley which disclosed that Henry had communist leanings before he made the fatal decision to fight in Spain. Witnesses said that his first contact with communism came during an innocent high school international relations course.
In the sophomore year, Henry became president of the KU chapter of the American Student Union, a so-called liberal group formed in Jan. 1936 from a merger of the Communist National Student League and the Socialistic League for Industrial Democracy.
In the middle of his freshman year at KU, they said, he drifted into association with "libersal" on the hill. Then somewhere along the line, he obtained a volume of Karl Marx and became one of his followers.
Public interest in the investigation became so widespread that the state legislature voted 92-4 to appoint a special committee to further explore charges that KU was a "hot-bed of subversive propaganda."
Meanwhile, leaders of almost every
University Daily Kansan
branch of organized student activity signed an open letter deploring the investigation, charging that the probe was resulting in a "witchhunt."
Additional protests led to a calling-off of the committee investigation on the grounds that academic freedom was being threatened.
The affair finally blew over with the conclusion that a few followers of Communism were probably inevitable in a student body of 4,500. The Reds today, however, can claim a Jayhawker as one of their martyrs for Communism.

Hawks Stage Peaceful Raid In Land of the Purple Cat
A "peaceful" raid was staged at Kansas State last night by a group of University students with the cooperation of the Manhattan police
The group had just arrived when they were intercepted. They were distributing leaflets and banners in a parking lot when officers stopped them. The Hawks explained their presence and peaceful intent.
The cops thought it all quite funny and directed the group to the campus and pointed out the locations of buildings and organized houses where the students could do their best work.
Weapons consisted of red and white banners which read, "Wreck Silo Tech!" and black-edged "funeral announcements."
The invaders reported a multitude of glass doors, windows, and mirrors which afforded a medium for plastering on the banners. They armed with clubs and by students armed with clubs and by K-State students in cars.
One Jayhawker said he saw another group of University students who had firecrackers and white-wash. He said he reminded the group of the peace pact but didn't succeed in stopping them.
No hand-to-hand combat was reported. however.

Panmunjom —(UP)— The Communists accepted today a United Nations proposal for informal discussions of staff advisors in an attempt to break the deadlock in the talks on arrangements for the Korean peace conference.
A UN spokesman said it was the "sense" of the Allied proposal that the meetings should be secret.
On Thursday the Communists tentatively had rejected the proposal by U. S. special ambassador Arthur H. Dean.

Students Riot Against U.S.
Rome —(UP)— Police today fired 15 tear gas bombs into a rioting mob outside the American embassy in Rome as 20,000 anti-American and anti-British demonstrators surged to Trieste.
Mrs. Clare Booth Luce, the United States ambassador, returned from a special conference with Premier Giuseppe Pella as the riot flared outside the embassy.
Angry students, inflamed by yesterday's and today's killing of nine Italians by Allied-trained police in Trieste, roared through downtown Rome smashing windows, overturning cars, and shouting insults against Britain and the United States.
Police told her it was "too dangerous now." She agreed to meet the students later. However, she remained in the embassy grounds and refused to return inside the building. Police in Rome said they arrested 200 rioters today.
In a white overcoat, blonde Mrs. Luce stood in the embassy courtyard behind huge iron gates and offered to see a delegation of the students immediately.
The first wrath was directed against the British, but after three hours of rioting the United States embassy became the main target.
