Miss Swarthout's Concert Appeals To Whole Audience
Bv ANN ALLEN
Gladys Swarthout in her concert Wednesday night gave a performance that has been equaled by few artists in the history of the University.
Her program had an appeal for each member of the audience. It was divided into five groups, and was well balanced.
"Romance De Solita" (Pittaluga), a wistful Spanish number brought
Romance De Solita out the full tones of Miss Swarthout's voice. The low notes were big and powerful interpretation was dramatic and skivvy.
"Les Lettres" from "Werther" (Massenet) tells of a girl who finds that all her dreams have failed. The music is nostalgic, and sad. Miss Swarthout used both her hands and her lovely mezzo-soprano voice to express the deep emotion of the unhappy girl.
She proved herself a master of interpretation and effect in 'E Se Un Giorno Tornasse' (Respighi) 'This is also sad and of unusual beauty.'
A light touch was added to the program by "Declaration of Independence" (Dougherty). In contrast to its rather serious title the piece is free and gay. It is the clever story of a little boy who refuses to do the things he should and declares his own independence. Miss Swarthout sang this with lifting ease and gavety.
At the request of the audience Miss Swarthout sang two encores, The Lord's Prayer" (Malotte) and that the "Hanaera" to "Carmen" (Bizet).
"The Lord's Prayer" was simply and devoutly presented. "Habanera," however, proved to be one of the most popular numbers of the evening. "Carmen" is Miss_Swarthout's favorite role, and she brought the colorful, vicarious gypsy to life with brilliant enthusiasm.
Miss Swarthout's graciousness and poise on the stage was commanding. She has beautiful expressive hands, and uses them to add to the mood of her songs. Her voice has an extreme range. It is sweet, but also warm, strong and rich.
Senior 'Bible' Is Available
"Senior Reminder" leaflet has been prepared to supply information to graduating seniors. It is being distributed at the alumni, Bursar's, and registrar's offices.
The leaflet will serve as the senior's "bible," said Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary. It tells the senior how to perform those small intricacies which determine whether or not the commencement is successful.
The caps and gowns will be issued in Frank Strong hall Annex A on Saturday, June 4, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Two commencement tickets will be given for use by the senior's family at that time. These will not be needed if the weather will permit exercises in the stadium. If it is necessary to hold the exercises in Hoch auditorium, the family tickets will be the only means of admission for parents or other family members.
Mr. Ellsworth said that the traditional senior breakfast has been changed this year to a senior luncheon. Each senior who has paid his class dues will receive a ticket to the luncheon when he is issued his cap and gown. Additional tickets may be purchased.
The "Senior Reminder" will tell on which side of the cap the tassel should be worn. The do's and don'ts about the procession are given, also.

Three Named To Teach Law
Three visiting professors for the two five-week summer terms of the School of Law have been named by Dean F. J. Moreau.
Alexander Hamilton Frey, professor at the University of Pennsylvania since 1930, will teach "Business Organizations" the second term. Eugene E. Buchanan, K.U. alumnus and now with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development in Washington, D.C., will teach "Bills and Notes" the first term.
John M. Speca, member of the law faculty at the University of Kansas City for the past three years, will teach "Conflict of Laws" during the second term. Speca received both his bachelor and law degrees from Notre Dame.
Professor Frey studied at Oxford university in England two years while holding a Carnegie fellowship in international law. He received undergraduate and graduate degrees from Columbia and Yale. His case studies on the nature of business associations have been widely accepted as texts.
Mr. Buchanan was elected to the Order of the Cofin when he received a bachelor of law degree from the University in 1940. He earned his master of law degree from Columbia in 1941.
Lipkin Concert In Hoch Tonight
Seymour Lipkin, winner of the Rachmaninoff piano award, will give a concert at 8:20 tonight in Hoch auditorium.
Mr. Lipkin is one of the guest artists at the University during the annual Music Week festival. The Rachmaninoff award, a difficult one to win, was not awarded the past year because no pianist could meet the high qualifications demanded.
The program will include works of Chopin, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Scarlatti, Debussy, and Ravel.
Activity books will admit students.
Tickets are on sale at the School of
Fine Arts office for $1.
Better Know Your Date's Name
A more embarrassed man cannot be found than the one who, at the Gladys Swarthout concert in stock auditorium Wednesday rose to present his girl to another couple—and forgot her name.
For a few moments he blustered,
vainly trying to remember her
name. Finally, in desperation, he
turned to his girl and asked:
"Honey, just what is your name?"
She told him, and then burst out laughing.
He looked quite relieved.

Neff Jurors Resume Seats
Neff's third trial went to the jury late Wednesday afternoon. The jury was excused by district Judge Wendell Ready when it failed to reach a verdict in 31 minutes.
Neff's first two trials in the poison death of Mrs. Jessie Neff and fatal shooting of Kenneth Wynn ended in deadlocked juries.
Final arguments Wednesday required about two hours.
State Sen. John Potucek, representing the defendant, said his client was a "dummy" and a "chump" in his relations with Mrs. Olevia Wynn, widow of the slain man and admitted partner of Neff in an illicit romance the past 20 years.
The confession which Neff signed and later repudiated, Potueck said, was signed in a state of "despondency and despair."
Defense counsel Harold Goodwin was critical of the state's prosecution of the case because it did not subpoena Mrs. Wynn.
"This is probably the first time in the history of the state," Goodwin said, "where the defendant had to subpoena the accuser."
The judge instructed the jury, as he did at Neff's first two trials, that the confession was "freely and voluntarily" given and was evidence of the highest sort.
But, the judge added, it remained for the jury to decide "what weight and force" to give the confession.
