THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Songs and Yells Should Be Taught To New Students
The enthusiasm exhibited at several of the last football games proves that the students are eager to cheer, given half a chance, but one of their main troubles is that they haven't anything to yell. It isn't particularly inspiring to repeat "Hell, yes" in reply to the same old questions for two or three hours at a stretch.
With the ending of the K.U. football season, there comes a few weeks interlude before basketball games begin. This interval provides a good time to originate college yells and teach them and our K.U. songs to the freshmen and new servicemen on Mount Cread.
When some one player turns in a good performance, or the team as a whole works smoothly, the spectators are anxious to give acclaim. Outside of about four yells and the traditional Rock Chalk chant, the cheering section is devoid of anything to break the monotony.
The matter of school songs is slightly different. Besides the "Crimson and the Blue" our alma mater, we have at least three traditional K.U. songs—"I'm a Jayhawk," "The Kansas Song," and "Onward, Spirit of Kansas." But only a few dozen students on the Hill know the words to them.
The logical time to teach the students these songs and yells is at a special convocation during freshman week, but outside of the alma mater and the Rock Chalk yell, new students are never introduced to their school songs. Since it is too late to do that this year, it might be possible to have a pep assembly and get the students and the yells acquainted with each other.
Contributions or a contest to compose a new college yell might also be encouraged. Before the basketball season starts, students should become familiar with the names and faces of squad members so they will know for whom they are cheering. These next few weeks are the time to get this done.
Letter to the Editor
Editor's Note: All "Letters to the Edit" must be signed. The name will be withheld until proof is received but the editor must know what it is. All letters must be limited to 250 words.
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
While the other schools in the Big Six conference are out getting something which will give their school something to have a little pep about when football season is here, our own University "cries out" and that is all. No wonder the student body has no team spirit nor gets excited about a school that lets other universities exhort the best athletic talent in this part of the country.
The sooner the heads of the University get a little of the "old pep" and "school spirit" and start pulling for the University of Kansas, the sooner this spirit and pep will be transmitted to the student body.
And while on the subject of spirit and pep, have you ever noticed how "peppy and spirited" the band sounds at a football game? Let's leave the concert band for Hoch auditorium and those who like the "longhair," and take a pep or rally band to football games. Maybe the football team sets the pace by the music that is played by the band—slow and dreamy. No other college band in the country tries to entertain football fans with "funeral dirges." Why should the University of Kansas?-Robert Lee.

Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY ANNE GRAY
Perhaps by next year Betty Jo O'Neal will be orientated to the way we do things here on the Hill (this is just her third year up here). Everyone has trouble, of course, in getting classes straightened out at the first of the semester, but it seems that Betty Jo is still having difficulty.
Last Wednesday she was sitting over in the Shack waiting for her 10:30 class. At 10:30 she dashed over to her_class-room in Fraser, sat down, and began taking notes furiously.
Suddenly she realized that there was something wrong—either her teacher's voice had changed or she was crazy. Looking up, she saw that the voice belonged to a man and her teacher was a woman. Going more deeply into the matter, she checked over her classmates and told the girl sitting beside her in all seriousness. "You're in the wrong class, aren't you." She was informed that it was she who was confused. Now, this wouldn't be so bad if only
Anticipating the taking over of Austria by Hitler, he got out a year before and devoted himself to the founding of the now famous Palestine Symphony. Besides raising $80,000 for it himself, he also recruited musicians and trained the group to ensemble perfection.
At the first meeting of Huberman and the great pianist Artur Rubinstein, who appeared here last year on the concert series, Rubinstein played for Huberman who was a few years his senior. When the impromptu recital was over, Huberman patted the pianist on the shoulder. "You have talent," he proclaimed.
In 1933, when Hitler came into power, Huberman was invited to play as usual with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. From Austria, Huberman refused in no uncertain terms and added a few choice comments on Nazism on the side. As early as 1925, the violinist had published a book, "My Road to a United Europe," and he looked upon Hitler as the sure destroyer of the political ideal he set forth in that book.

He has been honored as few musicians have. Huberman, alone, has been granted the unprecedented privilege of using the original Pagannini violin for a concert. A special decree was necessary to remove it from the museum in Genoa. Huberman Is Political Emeritus.

Violinist Is Famous As Politico
The second regular attraction on the University Concert Series will take place next Monday, when another world renowned artist makes his first appearance in Lawrence. Bronisław Huberman, the great Polish violinist, is truly an international figure. As a child prodigy of twelve, he played Brahm's compositions for the great composer himself and heard him comment "I have never heard it played better."
