THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Music Week Is Born Of Communal Singing
Closing the annual Music Week festival tonight is the banquet and initiation service of Pi Kappa Lambda, national honorary musical society. Beginning last Sunday, musical entertainment has been provided every afternoon or night with guest and local talent.
New York inaugurated the Music Week in America in 1920. At the University this custom was established in 1924 under the supervision of the Lawrence Musical Festival Association.
During the second University celebration, April 29, 1925, the Daily Kansan reported, "Music Week, born of community singing, has been inspired by the innate love of music common to all. Music Week, as we know it, is a direct outgrowth of the Great War."
This appreciation for community singing was developed in the mass singing of the doughboys, who communicated their enthusiasm for music back home on their return from France. Many communities started this custom then, and a greater interest developed in American composers and musicians.
1938 Music Week was nationalized, and last year it was called All-American Music Week. Before the whole week was set aside by the University, a music festival was held in May-for the first time in 1904. Its aim was "to provide music of highest quality and broadest scope for students of the University and the city of Lawrence."
In 1925 Dean D. M. Swarthout explained the change to a week of festivity, "In a certain sense music week is an outgrowth of the old May festival . . . It differs from its predecessor, however, in the fact that it seeks to a greater extent to elevate the general musical standards of the community rather than to cater to the desires of a few music lovers."
This year, in the midst of broken traditions and fewer entertainments, the School of Fine Arts arranged a full Music Week program.
Students Invited To Classics Meeting
English and romance language majors have been invited to attend the talks given in the program of the 38th annual meeting of the Classical Association of Kansas and Western Missouri at the University tomorrow, Prof. L. R. Lind announced.
The public and Physical Education majors especially have been invited to attend the talk by Clarence A. Forbes, associate professor of classics at the University of Nebraska, who will speak on "Athletics Now and Then."
In the afternoon Clarence Forbes will speak on "Book-of-the-Month or Book-of-the-Ages." Chancellor Deane W. Malott will speak informally after a luncheon in the University Club room.

Rock Chalk Talk
Life's Embarrassing Moments June Plumb, Pi Phi, and her guest Lt. Jack Smalley of Newton, former Kappa Sig at K-State, were calmly enjoying after-dinner coffee at her house Tuesday night, surrounded by admiring Pi Phi sisters. All was progressing nicely, June and Jack engrossed in each other, until some confused Pi Phi came up and remarked, "We'll be seeing you again Bill."
By PAT PENNEY
Navy Day: Alice Ackerman, Alpha Chi, was strolling home from Tau Sig the other evening with her out-of-town guest, Ens. Bill Brown of K.C., and the two were chatting merrily until they came face to face with Navy Medic Lyle Litton, Alice's KU attraction. Litton didn't look too happy about saluting his rival, who had to drop Alice's hand to return the salute. Tittering from sisters, Joan Power and Peggy
At that there was a dead silence while June got red, and Jack got red, and Pi Phil's snickered. The culprit hastily added, "Oh, I've embarrassed Patty." Here pendemonium broke loose in a deluge of hearty laughter; so now Jack calls June, Patty, and June calls Jack, Bill.

Barbara Huls, Fine Arts senior from Lawrence, will present her senior recital in violin at 8 o'clock Monday evening in Fraser theater. She will be accompanied by Max Hughes, graduate student, at the piano.
Huls Will Present Senior Violin Recital
On the program she will play as her major piece the Bruch Concerto in G Minor as well as shorter selections from Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Granados, Debussy, and Zaryzycki.
Miss Huls is concert master of the University Symphony Orchestra, and a member of the University string quartet.
Smith, who were walking behind didn't help matters any, either.
Pat Henley is the chief organizer and superintendent of nightly "slimming parties at the DG house. Pat has convinced all the girls that they should reduce, so every night after closing hours, they descend to the chapter room to go through various contortions for the sake of that girlish figure. There's only one catch to the deal—only the slim ones show up. The others haven't been back since the first night.
Another fad in the DG house is that of wearing men's pajamas. The bigger and louder the pajamas, the better. Bobbie Thiele, freshman, just couldn't conceal her embarrassment at Ober's the other day when she tried to purchase her pair of pajamas. The clerk brought out the smallest size he could find, but Bobye insisted that she wanted size D (elephant size to you).
The astounded clerk kept exclaiming, "Are you sure you want size D?—for yourself?" while Bobby's face attained a hue akin to tomatoes. She finally got the pajamas, and is wearing them in the proper style—with arms and legs rolled up.
