A Cappella Choir Shows Skill In Concert
By ANN ALLEN
One of the finest concerts of the year was presented by the University A Cappella choir, Monday evening. The choir was directed by D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
"The Lord's Prayer, Op. 107, No. 3" (Gretcheninoff) was sung by Harriet Harlow, soprano, with the choir as a background. Miss Harlow's voice, with its clear, rich tone, gave this number special beauty. The entire effect of the song was that of a litany, in which a prayer is given by the minister and the congregation answers.
Two short songs seemed to please the audience. "Shoot False Love, I Care Not" (Thomas Morely) is in the form of a madrigal, similar to a round, and was written for five voices. This song is gay and has several verses and a chorus. The choir's diction was especially clear in this number and though the piece was written for five voices it was well suited to a large choral group.
"The Turtle Dove" (arranged by R. Vaughn Williams) is a folk song about a lost love. Jerry Delicath, baritone, gave proper pathos to the piece in his solo. The melody is wistful and lonely.
"Song of the Andes" (Nina Marcelli) seemed unusual in this program of rather serious music. The tango rhythm of the song was emphasized by the soprano section in giving the effect of clicking castenets while the rest of the choir carried the melody.
One of the most familiar and popular Negro spirituals "Deep River" (arranged by Roy Ringwald) concluded the program. This spiritual was given strength and power by the voices of the choir, and was one of the best sung selections of the program.
Malott Tells About Jobs
The process of elimination is the best way to select a job, Chancellor Deane W. Malott told 25 students March 25. He was a speaker in a series of programs sponsored by the lectures committee of the All Student Council.
"Several points should be considered," he said. "Students should decide where to live, what size company they prefer to work for, and if they should return and work for Dad."
"After elimination, the next prob-
lem is to find a job." Chancellor
Malott told the group. "Anyone can
get a job, even during a depression.
Of course, you must use ingenuity
and intelligence."
The Chancellor warned the students to avoid politics, discussing personalities, and taking sides in office quarrels. "Back up the people under you and give credit when it's due," he said.
"A balanced life is the best," the Chancellor concluded. "Be willing to give a great deal to business, but not everything."
Education Dean To Make Study
Dr. George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, has been appointed to a national six-man committee of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education.
His duties will include the study of the desirability of college courses in general aviation for prospective or in-service teachers.
As a member of the committee, Dr. Smith will go to Washington, April to draw up recommendations regarding work in this field.
The committee is sponsored in cooperation with the Civil Aeronautics association.
Pressman Enjoys Handling Fish To Kansan Type Lice
Peaceful days fishing. Noisy days in a print shop. These are the extremes in the life of J.E. Barnes, University pressman.
Mr. Barnes has divided the past 50 years between catching fish on the Kaw river and running presses in print shops. He says he prefers handling fish to printer's ink; however, he has no serious objection to type lice.
"I like the print shop fine, but it gets too danged noisy," he shouted over the roar of the Kansan press. He was working on the Graduate magazine at the time.
The greyhaired printer began his work in the newspaper business on the Lawrence Journal in 1900. He quit in 1903 and traveled around the country as an itinerant printer, working as far west as Albuquerque.
In 1909 he came back to Lawrence and entered the fishing business. For the next 10 years he spent peaceful days catching fish from the Kaw. Mr. Barnes said he earned a fair living during those years, but in 1919 fishing became poor, so he took up his old trade again. This time he got a job with the University Press, where he has worked ever since.
Mr. Barnes, who has held a pressman's union card for 40 years, is the second oldest man in years of service on the University Press. Guy Pennock, University Daily Kansan foreman, has been here 38 years.
When Mr. Barnes came to the University in 1919 the Press occupied only the two rooms that are now the composing room and the press room. It now occupies six rooms, including a bindery and the stenographic bureau. The bindery in 1919 was a classroom, he said.
Although he is no longer in the fishing business, Mr. Barnes "drops over to the Kaw occasionally for a little relaxation." He says he still has pretty good luck with the hook and line.
Mr. Barnes is now press room foreman, and spends most of his time working on books and publications, since students, who work part-time, run the press for the University Daily Kansan.
Mr. Barnes has one son, George, who is also a pressman for the University Press.
Asked if he had anything to add to the story, Thos. C. Rythet, University Press superintendence, said, "Only this: J. E. Barnes is the best pressman I ever seen. And you can say that in bold face, caps."
Daugherty To Give Recital Tomorrow
Mary Carolyn Daugherty, mezzosoprano, will present her senior recital at 8 p.m. tomorrow, in Frank Strong auditorium.
Miss Daugherty has sung in the A Cappella choir for the past three years, and is a member of the choir of the Congregational church, Lawrence. She is also a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, women's national music sorority.
The program will include works by Handel, Durante, Schubert, Brahms, Strauss, Lully, Verdi, Chausson, Franck, Rachmaninoff, and a group of American songs. Helen M. Dunkelberg, fine arts senor, will be the accompanist.
Two professors from Kansas State college visited the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information and toured the University print shop today. They were Prof. Ralph R. Lashbrook chairman of the department of industrial journalism, and C. J. Medlin, associate professor.
K-State Men Visit Journalism School
Miss Daugherty is a student of Joseph Wilkins, professor of voice.
Professors Lashbrook and Medlin studied University Daily Kansas operations in connection with a plan for beginning the publication of a daily newspaper at Kansas State next fall. The Kansas State College is now a semi-weekly publication.
A group of University journalism instructors had lunch with the K-State professors in the Union.
Fund To Honor Crash Victim
A scholarship award has been established in memory of Daniel Webster Taylor, engineering sophomore who was killed Feb. 20 in an automobile accident, Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the Endowment association, said today.
Taylor and two other persons Gerald H. Chapin, College sophomore, and Mrs. Chapin were killed when their car collided with a truck on U.S. highway 50S, 14 miles southwest of Ottawa.
The award has been established by friends of the family of Dr. and Mrs. C. G. Taylor, Norton, parents of Dan Taylor. It will be known as the Danny Taylor Scholarship fund.
The annual award will be made by a scholarship committee which is to be appointed by the chancellor. The provision was made that the committee would include the president or some other officer of Acacia fraternity, of which Taylor was a member.
It is expected that the annual award will be about $50. The first award of the scholarship will be made in the spring of 1950, Mr. Youngberg disclosed. Contributions are still being received.
Two Elected To Offices
Two members of the University extension staff were elected as officers at the business meeting of the Kansas Adult Education association recently.
Gerald Pearson, director of extension classes, was elected president and Miss Ruth Kenny, director of correspondence study, was reappointed secretary.
Mr. Pearson succeeds Eric Tebow, director of admissions at Kansas State college, who remains a member of the board.
Other officers elected at the meeting were Dr. Hugh Burnett, Fort Hays Kansas State college, vicepresident; Dr. C. B. Huff, Emporia State Teachers college, treasurer; and Velma Huston, Kansas State college, director.
Mr. Bergstrom was formerly employed by the Kansas Power and Light company in Topeka. He received his degree from the University in journalism.
