Teachers Meet Tomorrow
Four Standouts To Be Here
E. Power Biggs, Theodore Harrison, Cecil Burleigh and John Thompson are the four outstanding teachers and recitalists to appear on the Kansas Music Teachers' Convention program at the University tomorrow and Tuesday. Their recitals and master classes will climax a series of events during the two-day meeting.
Biggs is recognized as one of America's most gifted organists, and although he has performed both abroad and in the United States, he is best known here for his Victor red-seal recordings of organ music. Harrison has appeared many times as baritone soloist with the Philadelphia, Minneapolis and Chicago symphony orchestras. His broad experience as a teacher in Italy, Germany and England has particularly equipped him to train singers.
Burleigh, foremost American composer for violin, will appear in the three-fold capacity of performer, teacher and speaker. He will present a program of his own compositions in Frank Strong auditorium at 1:30 p. m. tomorrow.
John Thompson is an outstanding figure in the piano field. He is known equally well as artist teacher, concert pianist, composer and lecturer. He, too, has appeared as soloist with the London, Boston, St.

Wheeler Again
According to Doctor Wheeler, folk songs and numbers with heavily accented rhythms are written during periods when the climate is warm.
Dr. R. H. Wheeler, professor of psychology, will explain his theory of "Cycles in the History of Music" in an address to members of the Kansas Music Teachers' Association in Frank Strong auditorium at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.
80 Journalists Dine--what weather beaten type-stick.
Chief rosy spot during the evening was the presentation of the Zilch Award to Stanley Stauffer, college junior, and Betty West, college junior. The award was a somewhat weather beaten type-stick.
This music theory coincides with Wheeler's theory on democratic periods, times of international war, times of civil war, and culture in general, as related to the varying climatic cycles.
Elmer A. Zilch Presents Award
Zilch, who flew from New York by carrier pigeon to speak before 80 journalists last night in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building, was warmly received by the hey-deying newsmen. He spoke of his adventures along the Amazon while on his recent trip to Africa, and his days on the University Daily Kansan back in '04.
With all the force and drive of a steam-driven angleworm Elmer A. Zilch, New York journalist, told University journalists last night that journalism is journalism and facts are facts, and never the twain shall meet.
Debuted during the evening was a one night performance by the faculty of the department of journalism, who gave an enlightening expose of a regular Monday afternoon faculty meeting in the department.
During the course of the evening the guests were somewhat taken aback when they discovered their guest of honor was Ed Garich, college senior, now playing wet nurse to the "Sour Owl."
Also adding merriment were student stunts consisting of take-offs on the life of a student journalist. A student band of three pieces furnished mood music for Gerald Tewell, college sophomore, who passed out cigarettes and played the part of a pink skirted cigarette girl.
Music Educators Hold Banquet
Munching, music, magic and merriment—all for 85 cents. That is the offer convention officials are making delegates to the Kansas Music Teachers' Convention which is being held on the campus tomorrow and Tuesday.
If you haven't guessed, it's a banquet. A banquet for music teachers, music lovers, music critics, and just plain folks who known a good thing when they see it. The feed begins at 6 p. m. tomorrow; the fun begins after a reasonable lapse of time. It's in the Memorial Union ballroom.
After munching is finished, music comes first in the form of "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" by a Negro quartet consisting of Rudolph Rhodes, fine arts special student, first tenor; Arthur Brock, college freshman, second tenor; Sidney Dawson, fine arts freshman, baritone, and Lorenzo Fuller, fine arts senior, bass.
Magic will be provided by Bob Ramsey, college junior, teh Ramsey of gold-fish gulping fame. He will
Led By Stoland Kansas Wins Third In Track
Led by Bob Stoland, who broke the high jump record and captured two first places, the Kansas tracksters squeezed into third place in the annual Big Six indoor track meet at Kansas City yesterday.
Nebraska copper first place with 47 points, Missouri was runner-up with 26, Kansas scored $20\frac{1}{2}$, Oklahoma was fourth with $18\frac{1}{2}$, Iowa State was fifth with 14, and Kansas State finished last with 6 points.
Stoland leaped 6 feet $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches to set a new mark in the high jump, and also took first in the broad jump with a 22 foot $7\frac{3}{4}$ inch effort. J. R. Jones, last year's broadjump champion, gave the Jayhawks second.
Eight records were broken in the meet, which attracted only a small crowd.
Other Kansas point winners were Don Pollom, who took fourth in the 60-yard low hurdles; Bill Beven, with a third in the pole vault; John Michener, who tied for fourth in the pole vault; and Dick Edwards, who came in second in the mile run.

Paleontologist Builds Mechanical Animal
To be successful in the field of paleontology, one must be a jack-of-all-trades.
To prove it, Orville Gilpin, a preparator in paleontology from the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, finds that an understanding of mechanics, artistry, clay modeling, use of ingenuity, and a great deal of patience are all a great help when it comes to mounting speci- mens.
Gilpin came to University from Chicago to mount some new specimens for Dyche Museum, which reopens this spring, and found that some of the necessary equipment he needed was lacking—and here is where Gilpin showed his ingenuity.
Needing something to support the bones of the specimen while setting it up, Gilpin went to the local junk yard and bought some parts from old automobiles. Included in his purchase were several universal joints. Using these pieces to mount
leg bones, Gilpin can adjust the legs to any position that he desires. Part of the steering column of one car serves as the backbone of his "mechanical animal."
At the present time Gilpin is mounting a small rhinoceros skeleton upon his "model". The bones of the animal were so broken and disconnected that more than 2 months have already been spent upon the specimen and it is still not completed.
—That's where the patience is needed.
