Flint Dinner Acceptances Pouring In
Answers to the invitations for the dinner to be given June 5 in honor of L. N. Flint, who is retiring as chairman of the department of journalism, are coming in fast, members of the Flint committee said today. To date, about 125 acceptances have been received.
William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette, will preside as toastmaster at the banquet, the committee announced. He will also give a short talk immediately following the dinner.
Raymond Clapper, noted Washington correspondent, a former student in the department, will be the featured speaker.
Clapper's speech will be broadcast directly from the ballroom of the Memorial Union building over KFKU, the University's broadcasting station. Doors of the ballroom will be opened five minutes before his address, so that persons other than dinner guests, may hear the columnist speaker.
A total of 1,500 invitations have been sent out to department alumni, students, Kansas editors and newspapermen, and personal friends of Professor Flint.
Immediately following Clapper's speech, those attending will hold an informal visiting period with Professor Flint.
Since the announcement of Flint's retirement as head of the department, he has received several hundred letters of congratulation, which will be bound into a gift volume and presented to him at the dinner.
CONCERT IS A SUCCESS--man, Slack On De Line” (Enders), was a typical Negro folk song in which Tibbett dexterously portrayed several different characters as he sang.

Minor" (Bortkiewicz). Mr. Wille was called back twice, and each time he won the audience anew with two well-chosen encores.
"Eri Tu," from "The Masked Ball" (Verdi), a more lengthy operatic interpretation, constituted the fourth group on the program. Very ponderous and intensely dramatic, it provided an opportunity for Tibbett to display his famed operatic technique.
Combines Acting With Song
The fifth group contained two Tschaikowsky compositions—"Pilgrim's Song," and the slow, appealing "None But the Lonely Heart." Also in this group were "Wander Shoes" (Warren), a quaint song of the wanderer, and "Edward" (Loewe), a dramatic song in which Tibbett artfully combined singing and acting.
The usual encores were forthcoming at the close of this number, and Tibbett pleased everyone by singing the dynamic "Iako's Credo" from "Othello."
Following this group, Tibbett climaxed the program by singing for his encores two typically American compositions, "An American Lullaby" (Rich), a modern tune that had his listeners laughing continuously, and "All Day on the Prairie," a cleverly arranged cowboy ditty, in which he made use of another of his talents—that of whistling.
Again Tibbett was called back, and this time he made no announcement of his selection, because the audience knew from the first few chords on the piano that it was the ever-popular "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes."
Folk Song Popular
Burleigh's "Deep River" opened the final group of selections. "Betsy's Boy" (Wolfe) was a unique Negro tune which scored a direct hit with the audience, and the concluding scheduled number, "Hangman, Slack On De Line” (Enders), was a typical Negro folk song in which Tibbett dexterously portrayed several different characters as he sang.
SUMMER COURSES---secretary before summer school enrollment.
In answer to the bediam of applause and shouts for "more!" Tibbett smilingly answered with "The Glory Road" (Wolfe), which served to wind up his conquest in a fitting manner and left his audience feeling that the best things in life, are, after all, worth waiting for.
Other courses which will be offered for the first time in the summer session will be Sculpture I, II III, and IV, taught by Bernard Frazier, artist-sculpturer; fungi taught by A. J. Mix, professor of botany; War Economy Problems taught by F. T.
