Tau Sigma Will Present Dance Recital April 29
Tau Sigma, women's modern dancing organization, is going into the last week of production and rehearsal for its spring recital, "A Symphony in Motion," which will be given in Fraser theater at 8:15 Wednesday night, April 29. This performance will include an entire program of the modern dance—a form of dancing chiefly concerned with the creation of beauty of line and the expression of an idea.
"A Symphony in Motion" will not portray one central theme as is usually done in performances of modern dance, but has been outlined to include a variety of themes and ideas to exhibit several forms of the dance to appeal to all tastes.
One of the outstanding numbers on the program will be "The Tyrant." This dance will be performed by the more skillful members of the organization. The lead, in the character of the tyrant, will be portrayed by Miss Melba Schilling, director of Tau Sigma, who composed the choreography of "The Tyrant."
The music interpreting the idea and routine of the dance has been composed by Robert Palmer, instructor in the School of Fine Arts. Palmer, who is interested in this new field of musical composition and who has seen talented artists perform the modern dance, is familiar with the technique of composing music to express the idea of a dance already in form.
Both the dancing and the music of "The Tyrant" are heavy in mood and expression. In the dance, the tyrant is at first one of the people, then, gaining power, he rises and suppresses the others. Unset grows until finally he is overthrown.
The music interpreting this idea begins with a low, dark mood. Then, in a steady trend, it builds up through the theme of the impelling force that struggles in resistance to the tyrant, until it reaches a thundering, fast tempo climax and crashes into silence with the fall of the oppressor.
Mr. Palmer said that composing music for this dance had been interesting work as well as good experience, and that he would like to do more work in this field.
Tau Sigma is presenting the recital to the public free of charge for the purpose of acquainting people with the techniques of modernistic dancing.

Fluorescent
★★★
RocksinDyche
BY CLARA LEE OXLEY
A new exhibit of 12 specimens of fluorescent minerals is now on display to the left of the door in the basement of Dyche museum.
The specimens were classified and arranged by Benedict Bagrowski, college senior, under the supervision of Dr. R. M. Dreyer, assistant professor of geology and mining engineering.
Fluorescence is the emission of visible light from a substance exposed to the radiation of invisible ultra-violet rays. The source of the ultra-violet rays in this case is a special mercury lamp. These 12 naturally occurring minerals are among the many which show the property of fluorescence. The minerals are mainly valuable for the elements they contain rather than their fluorescence.
The mineral scheelite, in which tungsten, a steel alloy is found, is located in the mines by using a fluorescent lamp to detect the fluorescent glow of the mineral. Another fluorescent mineral, wileyite, is used in green neon signs.
Two Seniors Receive Teaching Positions
H. E. Chandler, director of the teachers' appointment bureau, today announced the appointment of two seniors to teaching positions for next year. They are Phoebe Hahn, candidate for the degree of bachelor of science in education this spring, and Charlotte Loomis, candidate for the degree of bachelor of musical education.
Miss Hahn will teach commerce in the high school in St. John, and Miss Loomis will teach grade school music in Wamego.
Other recent appointments by the bureau are Elsie R. Penfield, master of arts, class of 1839, and Dave C. Massey, student in the Graduate School summer sessions of 1935 and 1938. Miss Penfield will be assistant dean of women at Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY; Massey will go to Elmore as superintendent of schools.
Nelda Budde, an Ottawa University senior from Meade, has received one of the Seldon Lincoln Whitcomb fellowships for study next year in the University's Graduate School. Miss Budde will study comparative literature.
Ottawa Senior Receives Whitcomb Fellowship
At Ottawa University Miss Budde was a member of the honor society; she was a prominent debater and speaker and served on the student council.
Thayer To Exhibit Books For Children
An exhibit, "Books Made For Children," of the American Institute of Graphic Arts, New York, and sponsored by the University department of design, the Lawrence public libraries, and the Lawrence P.-T. A., will be opened at Spooner-Thayer Museum April 27, and continue for two weeks. The exhibit had its first showing at the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Arts in New York last fall. The exhibition on Mt. Oread will be the first of this group in Kansas.
This is the first year that the Institute of Graphic Arts has arranged an exhibit of children's books, although for years it has sponsored a showing of fine workmanship in books for adults. The jury selecting the juvenile books for the exhibit included Anne Carroll Moore, famous children's librarian in New York; Louise Seaman Bechtel, for years a member of MacMillan's staff in the children's publishing department; Boris Artzybasheff, artist; and Larry June, printer.
During the exhibit, two addresses, open to the public, will be given—one by a staff-member of the department of design, and the other by Miss Sara Laird, associate professor of English.
Doctor for a Day Is Fate Of Psychology Instructor
Doctor of philosophy for a day was the fate of Herbert Humphreys, assistant instructor in the department of psychology.
Last Wednesday Instructor Humphreys was awarded his Ph.D. degree. Thursday Dr. Humphreys gave quizzes to his psychology laboratory classes. Friday Private Humphreys made preparations to leave for Leavenworth to be inducted into the army.
(Continued from page eight) long the manuscript has been in existence, but it is in a remarkable state of preservation.
IN BARROOM--
Evidently it was intended for publication because on the frontispiece is a notation "entered in the post-office of Bulgaria as very low class matter." Also a warning was noticed to the effect that the manuscript may not reproduce without express consent of the author.
The manuscript opens with a dialogue between the author and another character named Fristradius. They are heatedly arguing pro and con on "Do Scotchmen ever wear anything under their kilts?" However, before either comes to a decision, Zilch transgresses to the case of a woman who hired her husband a mistress out of pity for him. This last is a characteristic touch of Zilch, since he has never married.
The manuscript and 24 of the discoverers will be on display tonight at the Annual Zilch Award dinner. The students, we might add, are also in a well-preserved state.

After gaining fame as an All-American backline on the gridiron, southpaw Sam Francis won both the discus and shot put title at the Relays in 1936 and 1937—the only years he appeared at Des Moines. Nebraska failed to bag victories in only the high jump and two-mile run.
