Case, Croff Win Dance Contest
William R. Case, College sophomore, and his partner, Rozanne Croff, College junior, won the grand prize as the best dance couple at the War Memorial Underworld party Saturday night in the Union.
Alvin Haggard, College special student, and Constance Cultra, College sophomore, received a cigaret tighter and a necklace for being the best rumba dancers. Case and Miss Croff also won the waltz contest, and Case was given a pipe and cigaret tighter and Miss Croff a choker and nylon hose.
Names of the jitterbug contest winners were not available at the Memorial office today.
Only half of the organized houses have reported to the office and of these only three have completed their drive, and the independent teams have not turned in their results either, memorial headquarters said this morning.
Receipts for the student War Memorial drive today totaled more than $7200 including the money collected in the spring drive of 1946.
The "mop up" will continue until all houses have reported and the independent teams have completed their solicitations, Memorial head-carters said.

Moscow. —(UP)—Russia insisted today on a precise accounting by the western allies of the bequest in gold they recovered from Germany, an issue tying in closely with reparations, one of the knottiest problems in the drafting of a German treaty.
Pittsburgh—(UP)—The United Mine Workers' 400,000 soft coal diggers will answer John L. Lewis' call for a six-day work stoppage to mourn the deaths of 111 miners in the Centralia, Fll, mine explosion.
Washington. —(UP)— The state, war and navy departments today announced adoption of a policy to help orient the German people "toward peace and democracy" through exchange of students and cultural leaders.

They met in the first formal Big Four session of the fourth week of the Moscow conference, which now was coming to grips with the basic issues in drafting the German treaty.

Actual production loss was expected to be comparatively small because the memorial stoppage falls on Holy week when production normally falls about 50 per cent. But the loss—estimated at 5,000-600 tons for the nation—will cause some industrial cutbacks.
Under the policy, American experts and specialists may visit Germany to work with Germans in education, religion and public opinion.

Edward Utley Is Pianist By Choice, Profession
Edward Uley is a pianist by choice and profession and public opinion terms him an "organ-player" first, last, and always.
"People have the wrong impression and it's no wonder. I play the organ in Danforth every day from 4 to 5 p.m. and make two weekly broadcasts from Danforth at 2:30 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays over KFKU,
Easter Vespers Show Inspiration In Music
Palm Sunday affords the only good opportunity for the musical expression of the spirit of Easter to University students. As in years past, the School of Fine Arts this year presented an inspiring afternoon of music befitting the Easter season.
By WALLACE ABBEY
Miss Peabody's Women's Glee club added beauty and harmony to the afternoon with two numbers, Scherber's Loe Lot, Loe Lot, Shep-horn, and "The Artisan," by priest Ware. The return of this group April 16 will be eagerly awaited.
Sunday's concert began with the University Symphony orchestra playing the familiar "Andante Cantabile" from Tschaikowsky's Fifth symphony. Truly outstanding were the treatments of its rich, warm solo parts and delicate cross-rhythms.
Add Beauty and Harmony
The string quartet has been a Vespers tradition for many years. Their performance of Sibellus' long and difficult "Quartet" ("Voes Intimae") was welcomed by the audience.
The A Cappella choir ended the
program with four sacred pieces,
three of which have already been
presented this year. The fourth "Hail
Gladdenning light," added the per-
feture, bridges to a beautiful
and inspiring hour.
An afternoon of music of any sort would be far from complete without a soloist. E. M. Brack's tenor solo, "If With All Your Hearts," with orchestral accompaniment, was superbly done.
Sing Four Numbers
Easter Vespers have been a University tradition for 24 years.
Business Buildings In Need Of Repair
The building survey of the business research bureau has discovered that the remodeled fronts of Lawrence business buildings are an average of 30 years younger than the buildings themselves.
This conclusion was among the results of the survey conducted last week by the bureau, under the direction of Leslie Waters, associate professor of economics. When a professor of economics other than his sas towns and cities is completed, Professor Waters plans to compile group averages.
"The information will be extremely useful to realtors, building contractors, and insurance salesmen," Professor Waters explained. The survey is investigating such aspects as the age of the structures, their condition, type of equipment and appliances, adequacy to the occupants, and history of repairs.
To Survey Cities
To Survey Cities
Cities yet to be surveyed comprise a representative group, varying in size, location, economic interests, and social conditions. Among those mentioned by Professor Waters are Olathe, Great Bend, Parsons, Burton, Athol, and possibly Hutchinson or Wichita. He expects the entire project to be completed in about two months.
The initial sample in Lawrence indicates that 9 out of 10 buildings are over 50 years old. Population increased rapidly until about 1900, and then tended to level off. Need Is Urgent
"This need for new or improved business buildings is not to be overlooked just because of the housin shortage," he said.
All Lawrence build ed by the 15 agents less than a week.
And at all the knot-tying ceremonies which take place there, I am mustered out to play "Here Comes the Bride."
According to "Ed", the posters showing him at the Danforth organ have confused the issue even further: "Those posters went up early this fall and have been up ever since! It's always a shock to see my own eyes leering back at me from the bulletin boards.
Real Interest Is Piano
"People have begun to associate my name only with the Chapel organ. All my likenesses have been decorated with mustaches by my organ-loving fellow students," he said.
"My piano playing began at the age of six, and I've stayed with it for the past 19 years," he relates. "My experience with the organ began during my senior year in high school.
"It's true that I enjoy organ music and am greatly interested in my work at Danforth. However, my real interest has always been in the piano. I spend more time at the instrument with the peddles that don't pump." Utley said.
Plaved Organ In Army
"When I entered the army, pianos weren't available, especially in Italy, where I served with the ski troops. I found a Hammond organ in every army chapel, and used it." When Utley returned to K. U. last spring, his experience led him to the Hammond organ at Danforth.
This fall Utley won the cash award which is presented each year to a outstanding student in the School of Fine Arts. He won it by playing a recital on the piano. Senior Recital Is Tonight
"Later, I presented recitals on the piano at Chanute, and in Bartlesville. Okla." he said.
His senior recital, on the piano, will be presented tonight in Frank Strong auditorium.
Utley will be graduated this spring, and he plans to go to New York next fall for special training on the piano.
"However it looks like my future may lie with the instrument of 26 keys which operates under its own oxygen," Uiley says.
Installation Services Held For Y.W.C.A.
Installation services for newly elected officers of Y.W.C.A. were held Friday afternoon in Danforth chapel.
The entire service was in the form of a prayer, Octavia Walker, retiring vice-president, led the call to worship. The prayer of gratitude was led by Mary Breed, retiring president.
Prayer for vision was led by Ema-louise Britton, newly-elected president. The prayer of dedication by all the candidates to Dr. Traicia Graham, new vice-president.
Edward Utley, senior in the School of Fine Arts, played the organ prelude.
Members of the 1948-47 cabinets, executive officers of 1947-4', and advisory board members all attended the service.
The newly elected executive officers will meet later to select the remaining members of the new cabinet.
