A Cappella Choir In Hoch Monday
Featuring 78 voices in unaccompanied harmony, the annual home concert of the University A Cappella Choir will present numbers varying from classical Bach to Negro folk-songs tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium.
Dean D. M. Swarthout has placed in the opening group three examples of music from the early 18th century, including "Come Soothing Death" by Bach, the famous "Crucifixus" in six parts by Lotti, and the chorus "All Breathing Life" from Bach's cantata "Sing Vo the
Bach's cantata "Sing Ye the Lord."
The second group of choral numbers contains the chorus from Bortniansky's "Thine is the Greatness," in which the choir is divided into nine separate parts for rich tonal color. This group also includes "Carol of the Bells" by Leontovich, "My Heart is Not Haughty" by Tcherepinn, and closes with the widely-known chorus, "Sunrise" by Tanieff, which after beginning softly to depict the hush before dawn moves forward to a climax of overpowering volume and effectiveness.
Swarthout has included in the third group "Go, Lovely Rose" by Thiman, and "To Be Sung of a Summer Night on the Water" by Frederick Delius, British composer. This is probably the most difficult number on the entire evening's program, Swarthout said, because it is sung without words on the syllable "ah" (continued to page eight)

Maybe In 1943
Dandelion Day, 1942, will remain the rosy dream of a campus gardener, if student sentiment is any indication.
However, considerable energy has been expended on throwing the issue back and forth between various Hill organizations for leadership.
On March 31 the Men's Student Council decided to approach Chancellor Malott with the proposition that Dandelion Day be observed again this year. Council sentiment was not entirely (continued to page eight)
Hill Gives $100 For Navy Relief
More than $100 has already been contributed by members of the University staff to the local Naval Relief drive which began Thursday, E. C. Buehler, chairman of the K.U. committee, and professor of speech, said today.
The K.U. drive has to raise $200 as its part of the $900 Douglas county quota. The national movement is to provide $5,000,000 for the Naval Relief Society, which takes care of the needs created by deaths in the naval service.
Buehler wants the K.U. drive goal to be reached as quickly as possible, and asks that all contributions be turned in to him immediately.
The purpose of the society is to help the family of sailors killed in the war. It gives help in emergency operations and medical treatment for the family, provides continued aid to dependents who need care, and helps in the education of dependent children. The society operates through outright grants by regular payments while the need continues, and by non-interest bearing loans.

The World Student Service Fund drive, the only drive in connection with the war effort which is launched entirely by students for the aid of students, will be held on the campus Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week.
Headed by Jim Gillie, college junior, a central committee composed of University students has organized 35 teams with four to ten members each. Members of the teams include representatives from the faculty, organized houses, campus organizations, church organizations, and groups of independent students.

Money for the drive is used to send food, clothing, supplies for study in prisons, camps, and universities, medical aid, and material for leisure time leadership to students in the war areas. All funds for Europe are cabled to the European Students Relief fund in Geneva. All relief supplies are obtained in Europe with the exceptio of some books. Money for the strikes is shipped through the War Prisoners Aid of the International Y.M.C.A. by the special prisoner of war mail. This arrangement is provided for under the Geneva convention of 1929 which allows such

For the first time in twenty years the records of the Kansas Relays withstood the onslaught of the cream of college competition before some 5,000 onlookers in Memorial stadium yesterday.
The teams will compete in the program of raising the $800 quota set for the University in the drive to provide needs for Chinese and European students in prison and concentration camps as well as for American refugees in the war. The national goal for the World Student Service Fund organization is $100,-000.

The Prairie View (Texas) Teachers mile relay quartet almost toppled the college relay mark thanks to the anchor lap run by Louis Smith. Smith took the baton with a five yard lead, coasted the first furlong till he was threatened, then blazed
home in high to give his team a 3 minute 17.5 second mile—.1 second short of the Relays record.
Pole vault competition was keen with Harold Hunt, Nebraska, Bill Williams, Wisconsin, and Jack Defield, Minnesota, sharing top honors at 13 feet 5-3-4 inches. A stiff wind which persisted in blowing intermittently prevented the three vaulters' attempts to negotiate 14 feet, although they all came close to scaling that height.
Ralph Tate, crack Oklahoma Ag high hurdler, tripped and fell on the high sticks, which Bud Smith, Nebraska, won, but returned to win the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet $11 \frac{1}{2}$ inches and help the Aggies triumph in the university mile relay in the time of 3 minutes 21.2 seconds.
Boydston Takes High Jump
Don Boydston, ex-Oklahoma Aggie sportswriter, cleared the bar at 6 feet 2 inches—far below his average leap—to win the high jump. Big Elmer Auxissier of Missouri on the shot put with a heave of 49 feet 1 inch. He also placed fourth in the discus behind Minnesota's Bob Fitch, who tossed the platter 158 feet $ \frac{9}{12} $ inches.
