THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Grace Moore, known for her splendid soprano voice, will present the first concert of the season tonight. Activity tickets will admit students. Similar announcements have been made as long ago as the average student can remember. In fact, he expects the concert series, the lecture course, and the famous convocation speakers.
Student Tickets Only Admission Needed Tonight
Miss Moore is known to music lovers everywhere for her exceptional record of concerts, movie and operatic roles, and radio appearances. Her program, published last week, will offer entertainment for a variety of listener's, from exacting music critics to thoroughly unmusical college students.
To see and hear Grace Moore with no additional cost to the regular student fee is indeed a privilege. Not that other entertainments have not or will not this year offer much the same opportunity, but after the student leaves the Hill the chance of seeing a concert free is a rare one, certainly.
Do students appreciate these concerts and lectures? Do they realize the benefits to be gained from possession of an activity ticket? Do they plan their work ahead so that they might attend the extra-curricular activities and keep their studying schedule up to date, too?
Some do, of course, but too often a speaker or musician of extraordinary merit has faced an audience of few students. Of course, some students don't appreciate music, they say. But have they really given the concerts a fair chance? Would they rather say that they "could study so much better while others were at the 'concert,'" or that they had heard Grace Moore?
Convocations, lectures, and concerts offer a kind of learning not in text books. They are part of college life. Don't miss Grace Moore.
Ruth Reisner Still Hopes
For Return of Billfold
Miss Ruth Reisner today still is hoping that the person who found her billfold and approximately $190 will return it to her. The amount represents not the gift from her father, but a savings of summer work. She last remembers having the purse while she was at A Cappella Choir practice.
Applications will be received for Varsity Dance Manager from Nov. 6 to Nov. 13 by Elinor Kline, A.S.C. social chairman. Applications may be left at the Business office or at Miller hall—Elinor Kline.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY EXAMINATIONS. Foreign language proficiency examinations will be given on Saturday, Nov. 11, at 10:30 a.m. in Frank Strong 107, in French, German, Latin, and Spanish. Students who have had at least two units of credit in any one of these languages in high school are eligible for examination in that language. They may complete the College foreign language requirement by passing the examination. The examination will consist of exercises in translating foreign language material of moderate difficulty into English with the aid of a dictionary. Registration for the examination may be made at the College office any time before 2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9.

Rock Chalk Talk
By PAT PENNEY
PENNEY
V-12 G.Q. (General Quarters to you) last Friday night launched the KU Naval students into the new semester with the usual orientation talks by officers and so on. Lt. Fitzhugh, executive officer, asking if there were any questions anyone wished to ask, was confronted by slow-moving, easy-going "Tex" Langford, who dragged himself from his chair, drawled out a not too brilliant inquiry, and was answered dutifully by the exec. Tex just stood there leaning on the chair in front of him, taking it all in, and at the culmination of the explanation, came out with, "Oh—okay," and sat down. Strictly regulation, sir!—that's our boy Tex.
Also at G.Q., the boys enjoyed a Community Sing, especially those places where the parts were supposed to be taken by boys and then girls. The general public would have been a bit amazed at their Navy hemen, of they could have heard the lovely (?) soprano choruses issuing from Hoch auditorium. "I'm Just Wild About Harry" proved a popular number, and on the chorus where the singers were to insert the names of their favorite girls, a number of the fellas came forth with "I'm just wild about Garver. . . ." It's really touching, (to say the least) to see the V-12's exhibiting such affection for their superior physical trainer. Overwhelming!

BEAT SILO TECH
Friday night found the Phi Psis with no water in the house due to a broken water pipe, so they called up the Thetas and inquired if they might all come down to the Theta house to take their showers. "Oh sure," said the Thetas, thinking, of course, that they were kidding.
Taking them at their word, the Psis descended in full force upon the Theta house, garbed attractively in robes and slippers, with towels over arm. R. J. Atkinson, Psi prexy, marched into the housemother's quarters, plugged in his electric razor, and commenced to shave, while Tommy Sinclair ascended to third in search of a shower before he was nabbed by several surprised girls. One girl looked closely at Tommy, and remarked dubiously. The Theta finally succeeded in getting the bathing beauties out of the house, and the Psis finished their showers in Robinson gym.
During the course of half-time conversation at the game Saturday, Mary Breed, Pi Phi pledge, innocently inquired of Barb Varner, "What do the football boys do during the half?" Barb replied vaguely, "Oh, I guess they rest," and turned to Dottie Warren asking, "What do the boys do at the half, Warren?"
BEAT SILO TECH
Dottie also answered vaguely that she thought the coach told them what they had done wrong; then she repeated the question to her date, Kirk Scott, V-12. Kirk looked a bit agast, but leaned over and told Mary very sweetly and quite bluntly just what they do do. Mary's face was still red Saturday night. Nothing shy about Scott!
The overly cautious Sig Alphs, wary of Halloween pranksters, circled their cars at the house early Halloween evening, armed with 22 rifles. The fact that they took pot-shots at passers-by was definitely in interest of the protection of their autos, you understand! It was the wee hours of the am. before they wearily turned in. No tricks or treats for them—at any cost!
