No Decision Yet On Ellis Trial
Judge Hugh Means has not announced when he will make his decision on the Ellis library case. Final arguments for the University and Mrs. Ralph Ellis over the possession of the $200,000. library were given April 28.
"The judge probably will announce his decisions on the Ellis and Ricker hall suits at the same time," Mrs. Mary Simmons, clerk of the court, said.
Zaremba Gives Brilliant Recital
By ORPHEUS
Wednesday night an enthusiastic, hough not exceptionally large, and, indeed heard a recital by the brilliant young pianist, Sylvia Zaremba.
The program opened with the Liszt transcription of Bach's magnificent "Organ Prelude and Fugue in A Minor." For once this great work was played at a sane tempo with profound dignity and precision. Missamba revealed a deep insight into the interpretation of the master's works.
The Beethoven "Sonata in C Minor (Pathetique)" ended the first group. The opening grave movement was considerably under tempo and was noticeably so when it re-occurred later in the movement. For a time in the second movement (Adagio) Miss Zaremba seemed to be a proponent to the "note for note's sake" style. The concluding movement, Rondo: Allegro, was taken at a brisk tempo, but its overall timing was, unfortunately, somewhat distorted.
In her second group Miss Zaremba proved herself fully capable of handling the literature of the Impressionistic period. In the Raval "Jeux d'Eau" she effected glorious masses of tone colors which seemed to paint a realistic picture of water playing on the fountain. Ravel's striking "Toccata" was brilliantly executed.
Following a brief intermission the program was resumed with a Chopin group. As is often the case there was an overabundance of Chopin, but it was, nevertheless, exceedingly well-played. To the "Nocturne in F Major" Miss Zarentae imparted a tone of extreme beauty and polish.
The group was concluded with the invitable Folonise in A Flat, the instantiable Foumise in A Bolt.
The last group consisted of Liszt's "F Minor Concert Etude" and his transcription of the Paaganiini "Caprice in A Minor." The latter in particular was an incredible display of flash and technical facility.
A combination of amazing technique and genuine musicianship made this program one of the finest that K. U. music lovers have been offered in recent years.
Encores included "Clair de Lune"
(Debussy) "Toccata" (Khatacourian)
and "Etude in G Flat"
(Mozskowski).
Members of the Kansas City, Mo. chapter 57 of the American Society of Tool Engineers met with the student affiliate group at Lindley hall Wednesday to hear discussion on new methods of are welding. Guests at the meeting included members of the American Welding society of Kansas City, faculty members from Kansas State School of Engineering and engineering students from Haskell Institute.

Oklahoma City —(UP)— From a jail cell Jimmy Scott, state representative, said today that he shot and wounded an aged state senator. He "thought" the senator Tom Anglin drew his pistol first while they stood talking on the senate floor yesterday.
Rep. Jimmie Scott, 34, is a freshman
minister and author of a series
of 30 months in the South Pacific.
From a hospital bed where he was reported in "good" condition from a flesh wound, Scott's victim, Sen. Tom Anglin, 64, said he drew his 25 calorie automatic, from his pocket. Sen. Anglin said he drew only after he was shot and fell to his knees on the red carpet of the senate floor.
Faculty Members To Speak At 105 Commencements
The gunfire was attributed to a hometown feud.
More than 105 commencement engagements will be filled by speakers from the University, Gay V. Keeler, director of the University lecture course bureau, said today. At least one-fourth of the high schools in the state having commencement speakers will have University faculty members, he estimated.
Comedy Film Shown Tonight In Frank Strong Hall
An Austrian musical comedy, "The Merry Wives of Vienna," will be shown at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Frank Strong by the German club.

The public is invited to attend.
