A Cappella Scores At Spring Concert
By JOY MILLER
The most accomplished musical unit on the Hill, the A Cappella Choir, presented a brilliant, artistically perfect program last night in Hoch auditorium before an audience of music lovers and fine arts students.
Dean D. M. Swarthout had chosen a group of 16 selections designed to appeal to as many emotions as music has the power to elicit from its hearers. $ \textcircled{*} $
Before the program began, Swarthout announced that the program was dedicated to three young men who had left the choir to join the nation's armed forces: Edgar Haage, Lloyd Wilson, and Leslie Breidenthal. The "Star Spangled Banner" followed, opening the program.
Sing Serious Numbers
The first group began with "Come Soothing Death," one of the loveliest of the Death chorales. Subdued solemnity characterized the presentation. The "Crucifixus" was given warmth and deep spirituality, and the concluding number in the first group, "All Breathing Life," was a rousing vigorous chorus from the Bach cantata "Sing Ye to the Lord."
The most deeply moving of all the groups was the second—Russian music. The flexible choir moved from "Thine is the Greatness," by Bortniansky, a profound, yet tuneful number, to "Carol of the Bells," a cheerful Christmas number, portraying the ringing of the bells.
**Add Russian Music**
"My Heart is Not Haughty," by Terepennin, combined all the mystery and mysticism of Russian music into one composition. Tanieff's "Sunrise" was a brilliant, powerful chorus descriptive of the calm before dawn, moving toward the crowning of the Sun.
Twentieth century and contemporary music comprised the third group, distinctive for its descriptive beauty. "Go Lovely Rose" was a song of exquisite charm and fragility; and Frederick Delius."To Be Sung of a Summer Night on the Water," a six-part serenade, was a difficult number well-performed.
Robert Louis Stevenson was well-treated last night in Noble Cain's arrangement of his "Windy Nights," and in Bantock's setting of his "Requiem." The final number of the third group, "Bells of St. Michael's Tower," was a gay, lively number that concerned a man and his shrewish wife, with a background of chiming bells.
Folk-Song Finale
The program closed with a group of Negro and folk-song arrangements. Clayton Krehbiel sang a striking tenor solo part in Dett's "Music in the Mine." He's Gone Away," an arrangement in six parts of a southern mountain song, was sung with rhythm and harmony, and "De' Sheepsol" was made more effective and tender by the incidental solo of Minerva Davis.
"Eabylon Is Fallen," arranged by Noble Cain, brought the last group to a jubilant, dramatic close.
As an encore Dean Swarthout led the choir in Franz's "Dedication." This number the choir sang with an ethereal quality and the same perfect tones that characterized the entire evening's performance.
WEATHER
Precipitation within the next 36 hours is expected—good weather not to go on picnics.
Music Fest Will Bring 1800 to Hill
Fifty-three high schools will be represented by more than 1800 students in the annual music festival of the Kansas State High School Activities association held Friday and Saturday on the University campus, Neal M. Whrery, principal of Liberty Memorial high school and manager of the festival, said today. arranged so that each school is present only one day of the festival.
The festival schedule has been This eliminates driving home Friday night and back again Saturday morning, as has happened in years previous to the present tire shortage.
On Friday 23 high schools and junior high schools will present large group numbers such as band, orchestra, glee club, and a cappella choir numbers in Hoch auditorium and Frank Strong hall. Lawrence will present its groups on that day, but its soloists will be presented Saturday to better balance the length of the program for the two days.
Groups coming Saturday will enter smaller numbers, such as octets, quartets, and solos.

Summerfield Scholars Entertain Candidates
Thirty high school senior boys are very busy today. They are taking the written examinations for Summerfield scholarships after having had interviews with faculty committees yesterday. From this group of 30, perhaps 10 or 12 will be selected for the awards, carrying up to $500 a year for four years. The boys taking the tests today are finalists, having competed in regional examinations at Colby, Salina, Dodge City, Wichita, Lawrence, and Chanute.
Yesterday a luncheon was held in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building for the group and last night Summerfield scholars on the Hill gave a dinner in the Kansas room for the boys.

Dean Lawson's remarks were enthusiastically seconded by the 50 members present at the organization meeting. It was felt that sufficient reduction of the number of dandelions on the hill could be effected in two or three years, and that the work might then be taken over by the buildings and grounds department as part of its regular duties.

Yet the significance of insects to the average person might take new importance if they would consider that three fourths of all living animals are insects, and that the average size of all animals, including man and elephants, is about the size of an ordinary house fly.
