The program following the buffet-supper banquet in the ballroom of the Union building at 6 o'clock Saturday evening will consist of short talks by Chancellor Deane W. Malott and by assistant registrar Laurence Woodruff. There will also be a musical program sponsored by the School of Fine Arts.
Chancellor Malott has issued the following invitation to the parents of all the students enrolled in the University:
"In behalf of the University, I am happy to invite you to attend the Parents' Day celebration at the University of Kansas on May 2 and 3.
"These are difficult and bewildering times for your sons and daughters, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and to tell you some of the plans which the University is making so as to be of maximum service to your sons and daughters during this emergency.
"We shall welcome you most cordially."
Sunday, May 3, has been set aside by most of the Hill's organized houses as a day in which they will honor their parents. Many of the houses have sent invitations to parents inviting them to the campus May 2 and 3.
Miss Meguiar commented that it would take the cooperation of the entire student body to make the annual Parents' Day celebration a success this year. Students who have not yet written home personally requesting their parents to come to the University for one or both the days, are strongly urged to do so at their earliest convenience.

"Sunny Disposition Gene"
BY G. CRISS SIMPSON
Professor of Organ and Theory
The senior recital of Eugene Ninger, violinist, last night, was a de luxe, chromium-plated affair which drew one of the "classiest" audiences of the season to the auditorium of Frank Strong hall. Phi Beta Kappa's, Summerfield scholars, and serious young college instructors were generously sprinkled throughout the room. The select quality of his clientele speaks volumes for Mr. Ninger as a musician, scholar, and gentleman. Under the tutelage of his teacher, Karl Kusteiner, "Sunny Disposition Gene" had chosen a program singularly free from the tawdry and the meretricious. Mr. Ninger has a warm, vibrant tone and a technical equipment so finely-adjusted and well-oiled that there are never any creakings nor gratings in his phrases.
He began with a Bach group. The Allegro Moderato from the Concerto in A minor was conceived on broad lines and delivered in a sturdy, manly way. The arioso had an elevated lyricism without saccharinity. Although not impeccable in intonation, the Prelude for violin alone from the 6th Violin Sonata was a tour de force of springy, athletic playing.
The second group consisted of

Jim Surface, editor of the Jayhawker magazine, has announced a poetry page will be featured in the next issue of the Jayhawker. All poetry should be turned in at the Jayhawker office before May 1.
the "Minuet" in the style of Porpora of Kreisler, the same composer's arrangement of the "London-derry Air," the delicate, gossamer-like "Snow" of Tie-Szigeti, and Kreisler's "Preludium and Allegro" (in the style of Pugnani). These were discoursed by Mr. Ninginger with quiet assurance. The "Preludium and Allegro" came off in an aristocratic manner and with extreme facility.
The final offering was the Mendelsohn Concerto in E minor, that most elegant product of an elegant age. Mr. Ninginger played it with a gentility and polish that would have won a decoration from Queen Victoria.
There seemed to be a general aura of good-feeling in the audience. Every number was avidly received and the Concerto met an especially warm response. It is testimonial enough to Mr. Nininger's musical powers that he could enkinder such enthusiasm in his "brain-trust" audience.
A salvo is due Margaret Dunn, the accompanist, who kept the piano parts from banality by many subtle, artistic touches.
