New Officers Take Over Council Reins
LAWRENCE KANSAS FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1941
Newly elected Men's Student Council President Bob McKay and his 20 councilmen were officially installed in office at a new-and-old council banquet in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building last night and new council officers were elected following the dinner.
After the banquet, the new Council's first meeting and the last meeting of the year, was held in the Pine room. Paul Yankey, business senior and outgoing Pachacamac representative, introduced a bill providing for a plaque to be given to Homecoming house decorations winners instead of the usual money prizes. The bill was passed and a committee appointed to attend to minor details.
Jim Burdge, PSGL representative-at-large, introduced a resolution providing for a $100 appropriation to be given to the Jayhawk Co-op for its fund to purchase a house. The resolution was voted down because the Council is so short of funds at the end of the year, but Hal Ruppenthal, Pachacamac representative, introduced a resolution for the Council to go on record as being in favor of the appropriation and it will be considered again next year.
The new Councilmen elected Dave Watermulder, Pachacamac college representative, as vice-president for next year. They also elected Fred Lawson, Pachacamac representative, secretary, and Dorus Munsinger, Pachacamac representative, treasurer.

Engine Faculty Gives Job Tips
Faculty chairmen of four departments of the School of Engineering took part in a half-hour broadcast over radio station KFKU this afternoon, discussing general vocational guidance work and prospects of employment for graduates in the various fields.
Others taking part were Earl D. Hay, chairman of the department of mechanical engineering, Joseph M. Kellogg, chairman of the department of architecture, and W.C.McNown, chairman of the department of civil engineering.
Greatest Panorama
V. P. Hessler, chairman of the department of electrical engineering led the discussion.
Dyche Has World's Largest Mounted Animal Display
The great panorama of mounted North American animals, shown in their antural habitat has a painted background that, according to many art critics, is unsurpassed. ings: Dickenson has
When Dyche museum of natural history reopens Monday morning to allow students to see the exhibits before summer vacation begins, some of the finest scenic painting in the country will be seen.
The panorama pictures North American animals in natural surroundings: Dickenson has painted a blending background to each of these groups, making a continuous oil painting 550 feet long.
S. T. Dickenson, a student in the University from 1904-06, painted the background while the building was being rebuilt. The panorama, first of its kind, is the largest single unit group of mounted animals on display in the world. It formerly had only one small section with a painted background. Dickenson has now completed a background for the entire panorama.
The painting blends with the mounted surroundings, and is practically impossible to distinguish. Although Dickenson had never seen the mountains, his background gives the impression of a great distance.
The painting covers approximately 11,000 square feet of space, making it one of the largest oil paintings in the country.
Painting Blends With Specimens
Home Interests Features China, Pottery, and Art
(continued to page eight)
The second conference on home interests, sponsored by the departments of home economics, design and the extension division, is being held on the campus today and tomorrow.
Anyone interested in the subject may attend. Registration took place this morning from 10 to 12 p.m. in the main hall of Spooner-Thayer Museum, and those attending the conference were conducted on supervised tours this morning in Spooner-Thayer and Dyche museums. Collections of china, porcelains, old glass, Oriental and Indian rugs and coverlets were on display at Spooner-Thayer. Guides assisted the parties touring each museum.
This afternoon a general session was held in the auditorium of Spooner-Thayer museum. Harold G. Ingham, director of the extension division, gave an address of welcome. Maud Ellsworth, supervisor of art in the Lawrence schools and instructor in art education at the University, gave an illustrated lecture on "Beauty Without Expense," showing what could be done in the home at little expense. She discussed the approach that should be used in educating children to appreciate art. Gladys Bate, instructor in ceramics, spoke to the conference group on "The Art of Pottery Making," a lecture demonstration showing how pottery is made and decorated. Miss Bate demonstrated the pottery wheel and made a piece of pottery during the demonstration. A two reel sound motion picture, "The Making of Spode China," was shown during the session and Bernard Frazier, instructor in sculpture, ended the session with a lecture on "Sculp-
Editors Teach Classes
Angelo Scott, publisher and managing editor of the Iola Register, and Frank C. Clough, managing editor of the Emporia Gazette, took over the classes in the journalism building today.
Scott told his 8:30 class this morning that a journalism school could not make a journalist out of some one if he didn't already have the stuff to make the grade.
Every year the journalism department invites four or five journalists from papers in the state to take over their classes for a day.
Will Tibbett Appear Minus Throat Crick?
Barring unforeseen circumstances such as "larryngitis", Lawrence Tibbett will present his concert of baritone solos in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 o'clock Wednesday evening, Dean D.M. Swarthout announced today.
Refunds have been made for some tickets, Dean Swarthout said, but all tickets are being resold as fast as they come in.
The concert, if presented Wednesday, will have to be good. Last year the concert was cancelled, and this year it was postponed after 3,-500 persons already had assembled at the auditorium.
Now University students are growing impatient and are demanding Tibbett's best for the recital.
He also requested that the engineers refrain from whistling at crossings, so the great singer will not be disturbed on his journey back to Kansas from his California concerts.
One student has written to Union Pacific and Santa Fe railroad managers, beseaching them to keep Tibbett's pullman well heated.
Advance copies of "Across the Years on Mount Oread,"the Seventy-fifth Anniversary history written by Robert Taft, professor of chemistry, have arrived.
200 Years Progress
Keyboard Recital Ends Music Festival
A few of the books were returned from the binders yesterday afternoon. The rest will come in early next week and will be put on sale for $2 in the alumni office, the business office, and the lounge of the Memorial Union building.
Taft Book Out ★★★ On Sale Soon
Closing the University's Music Week (unless the Lawrence Tibbett recital next Wednesday is considered part of a Music Week hangover), Gwladis Luloff, Detroit, played a recital of sixteenth and seventeenth century music on ancient instruments in Frank Strong auditorium last night.
Miss Luloff began her program with an explanation of the instruments upon which she was to play, showing the type of touch necessary for best tonal results and explaining points about the compositions, many of which she had studied from original manuscripts in European mu-
manuscripts in European museums.
Virginal Surprises
The program began with a group of six numbers played upon the virginal or spinet. This instrument surprised many with its contrast in volume and tone.
The clavichord responded with a sweet, delicate tone when Miss Lu-loff played early Bach compositions. Plays Modern Piano
After a short intermission Miss
Luloff returned to the stage to play three numbers on the modern piano, showing what progress has been made in keyboard instruments during the past two centuries.
Following the concert Miss Luloff explained the inside mechanisms of these two ancestors of today's piano.
Another exhibit was a collection of original editions of early music, many of which dated back to the first part of the eighteenth century.
