Lindsborg Community Sings the 'Messiah'
Handel's "Messiah" chorus has become synonymous with Easter in the minds of the Swedish settlers of Lindsborg, Kan., for, since 1881, the people of the community have sung it at this season. They sing it for their own enjoyment and for the pleasure it gives to the music lovers who make a special trip to Lindsborg each Easter season to hear it.
But one needn't be a music lover to enjoy the "Messiah" chorus, for the magnificent volume and richness of 500 well-trained voices singing together in the familiar oratorio gives pleasure to even the most unmusical ear.
First Chorus Had 50 Singers
Just as it has never lacked a receptive audience, the oratorio has never lacked an enthusiastic chorus. The original singers are no longer in the chorus, but their sons and daughters are carrying on for them in the traditional style.
Dr. and Mrs. Carl Swenson organized the chorus at the suggestion of a friend of theirs, Dr. Olof Olsson, who had heard a rendition of the "Messiah" in London. The first chorus numbered 50 singers, and during the first year they sang in neighboring communities.

Written in Three Parts
Handel wrote his "Messiah" in three parts. The first tells of the Savior's coming; the second, of Christ's suffering, death and exaltation on earth; and the third, of the resurrection from the dead and the assurance of immortality. Although the "Messiah" was presented 34 times during Handel's life, it was never presented on such a grand scale as it is today. If he were living today, Handel would probably be pleased with the Lindsborg chorus' version of his masterpiece.

Rock Chalk Talk
Down the hill came a little red wagon; John Moore Co-op volley ball players have made up for the humiliation of coming home last week defeated by the Sig Alph's. Monday night, the members took off immediately after dinner, announcing that they were to play Beta Yamma Epsilon, one of the newer Greek houses on the Hill. After a couple of beers, the boys returned jubilantly to the house. The BYE had byed and John Moore was victor by forfeit. Particularly happy over the triumph and overflowing with congratulatory remarks were Harold Harmon and Luther Buchele—both of whom are in for a let-down when they get hold of today's Daily Kansan and figure out that the defeated fraternity is as mythical as free beer on tap in Ad.

Not very mad: Margie Kerschen, Alpha O, was washing her hair when roommate Marilyn Voth brought her a coke. Marilyn put it down on the bowl and went away. Immediately struck with great thirst, Margie reached out for the glass. A mop of wet hair, however, limited her visibility and, missing the coke, she picked up a glass of shampoo. Without stopping to taste, she downed it.
***
At present, the two roommates are barely speaking. Margie insists she was maliciously poisoned, and Marilyn says that Margie thoughtlessly drank up their combined month's supply of rationed shampoo.

Oh Say Can You See? Richard Danneburg's yellow knit tie has been a source of trouble in the TKE house for some time. Intermittent outbursts of rebellion resulted in the sophomore TKE's favorite neck-piece's being stretched until both ends hung well below his belt.
Then came the night when the boys decided it should go altogether, Jim Proctor, Ed Read, Jason Dixon, and Reggie Robertson chased Danney out of the house. They caught up with him in front of the Sigma Chi house, and removed the tie.
About then a small black cat happened along and was taken immediately into custody. The yellow tie was converted into a leash and the cat was unwillingly led next door

"Turn up shirt collars before washing them...”
This fella has the right idea—it's just his technique that's a little sour. Shirt collars will last much longer if they are turned up before being sent to the laundry, for then the crease around the top doesn't get such heavy rubbing and consequently lasts longer before fraying.
Another fine point to remember—when you need new shirts, whether military or civilian, buy Arrow. They live up to their fine reputation for lasting wear and perfect fit. Don't forget the Sanforized label, which guarantees fabric shrinkage less than 1%.

to be presented to the Theta's. The girls thought the boys were very clever to carry out the prank in their sorority colors, yellow and black, and the boys themselves were beginning to feel pretty cocky. Then they went home, and saw their flag pole. Disturbed by the injustice done him, Danney had tied knots in all their ties and had run them up to half mast.
