Those who heard the brilliant and thoroughly satisfying performance of the First Piano Quartet Monday evening seemed to be unanimous in their praise.

Concert Course
It proved to be not a "stunt," but in reality an artistic achievement of the first order. We can well believe that his ensemble is second to none in its field, and we admire the resourcefulness, and in a sense, the courage of these men who have set out to conquer a relatively unknown frontier of modern musical expression.
This concert was the first of a series of six programs to be presented this year for the students and townspeople of Lawrence, under the auspices of the School of Fine Arts. Each season this series brings to the campus some of the greatest of contemporary musical genius, setting a standard of musical excellence which is surpassed by no city of comparable size.
When one considers that in addition to this we have a University a capella choir which is one of the finest in the United States, a splendid women's gloe club, a band and symphony orchestra of recognized excellence, and individual student artists of high caliber, one can well realize that our opportunities for the appreciation and understanding of musical art are virtually unlimited. The only source of dissatisfaction is that all to many people let these opportunities slip by.
The concert by the First Piano Quartet was an auspicious beginning for the concert season. If the succeeding artists are as capable as these just presented, we will enjoy one of the most successful years in K.U.'s musical history. Congratulations, and thanks, are in order to Dean Swarthout for the splendid concert course he has arranged.—O.R.
A president should be a "jolly good fellow" because a president must be human. But a president should be the most dignified man in the country, because he is the president. Truman has been the former. Now, with the nation restless with big reconversion problems, maybe he should remember he is no longer just Harry from Independence. He's also president of hte United States.

Rock Chalk Talk

Corsages may come and corsages may go, but poison ivy goes on forever. Muriel Stember, Watkins hall president was oh so eager to make her date's corsage for the Kappa Phi date party. While on a zoology field trip, she looked for some pretty posies. Everybody, including Professor Hoffmuster, tried to warn her, But at the end of the day Muriel had a beautiful case of poison ivy instead of the corsage.
Merrily we blaze along—While driving merrily down Massachusetts in their little jalopy, Sigma Chi's Dick Nelson and Stan McCampbell with dates Marilyn Steinert, Chi O, and Elloise Hodgson, Kappa, ran into a little warm mishap. Suddenly, the car was in flames. After much confusion the fire was out. A spark from the battery had mixed with the gasoline or vice versa. However, Stan and Dick are happy 'cause they sold the $40 car for $30 after a week of fun and trouble.
What's in a name—J. Bertrand Morris, Phil Delta Thea's claim to fame, has at long last received his happy greetings from Uncle Sam. Along with this greeting came Bert's lost and forgotten first name.
When Bert was a babe in arms his parents, trying to be diplomatic
The perplexed Sigh boy thought a minute—and it was a surprised bunch of loafing GPB's who were startled by his appearance at the smoker on second floor.
about naming him after his grand-fathers, Jacob and Joe, finally decided upon James, (at least it began with J). In the shuffle Bert's birth certificate was lost and so was his first name. So, until three weeks ago when his mother found the certificate, Bert has been known as J. Bertrand. . . Hi ya, Jimmy.
Young in heart and spirit-Anyway former V-12, Charlie Nash, with his shiny new stripe, was walking casually down Tennessee. He noticed a nice looking, gray-haired, middle-aged woman a few feet behind him. As she passed him, Charlie heard her whisper "hubba, hubba, hubba."
True to form—A young Phi Psi pledge ambled over to the Gamma Phi house and asked for Barbara Byrd. Atwood told him, "Why don't you just buzz up for her."

This Is Wubulu Dar Wee Hen, And Rorville Awberts Screeching
One of my regular tasks was the preparation and delivery of certain newscasts. I had ample time to prepare, edit, and pre-read the news, and thus reduce flubs to a minimum.
What Thay?—Thad Marsh, selected for service last week, is thinking about sending a weekly report to his friends on the campus entitled "Thad Thack."

Anticipating a summer of relaxation and comparative idleness, I spent the three months between summer and fall semesters as a radio announcer.
My one besetting sin was diction, First I was overly precise, and sounded like the treasurer making her report at the Ladies Art and Tart Club. Then, in order not to seem affected, I became purposely somewhat slovenly in my pronunciation, and sounded as if I were talking through a mounthful of mush, and possessed a fur-trimmed palate.
But the 6:30 a. m. news-cast, which immediately followed our station sign-on in the morning, was usually sightread, and the errors made by the teletypist at the point of origin of news transmission not being corrected before presentation, combined with my still sleepy condition, sometimes led to amusing items getting on the air.
The more I concentrated on correct vowel formation, the more disastrous and ludicrous were the results, for example, "This is Wubulbo Dar Ween Hen, Klorance, Lansas."
Arrangements being completed with WREN, the local radio station, I set to work with assurance and self-confidence, never dreaming of the hilarious incidents and the hard work that was to follow. Instead of a summer at a snap job I had a full-time assignment.
I then was beset by consideration of tone quality. But somehow a lightly spun and ethereal whisper, when used to describe pig-sloppers and screw-drivers seemed somewhat incongruous, so I adopted a graffu and coarse quality, which however seemed vulgar and unsympathetic when speaking of ladies "you-know-whats" at Gamble's.
"Mitschner's task force is moving toward the frog-surrounded islands."
"The dispute (labor) was submitted to the national meditation board."
Halsey's carriers are continuing to carry in the Pacific."
Dr. Leonard Axe, director of the University veterans bureau, will address the group and answer questions, he said.
One consolation there was about these slips, and that is that I was not the only member of the staff who made them. Lindley Hines one night announced that here were the latest Feather Warcasts. George Goldsmith announced once that later in the evening the radio audience would be privileged to hear the commentator, H. V. Kaltenborn, the "Newted Nose Analyst."
Even Verl Braton, the station's genial manager, joined the ranks of "slippers" when describing a football rally, told his listeners that "If you listen closely, you can hear the cheering and shouting of K.U.'s rabid roosters.

Being a radio announcer was going to be a snap. But—
