Glee Clubs Sing to 1,000 In Hoch Program Popular With Audience
By JOHN CONARD
A program which sank from good to bad, then rose to highly superior, was the offering of the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs to an audience of 1,000 in Hoch auditorium Last night.
Above "Good" Music Level
Giving the listeners reason to expect an evening of fine music, the combined glee clubs sang an impressive rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" and followed with the lighter "Carnovale" (Rossini).
ABOVE GOOD MUSIC LEVEL
The 60-voice Women's Glee Club stayed well above the level of "good" music with their group of sixteenth and seventeenth century numbers, singing with especial freshness and spontaneity the number from Lully entitled "Sombre Woods."
The Men's Glee Club, either cold
on its first number or trying to sing music out of its class, left a definitely dark brown taste in our mouth when they struggled without success to make joyful Gretchani- noff's "Song of Joy."
"Steal Away" Is Program Peak
arts junior, supplied keenly sympathetic accompaniments to all the selections sung by the Men's Club.
They redeemed themselves later in the evening, presenting what proved to be the peak of the program, "Steal Away," a Negro spiritual. Then men, singing with enthusiasm and plenty of tonal power, sang "Steal Away" with excellent interpretation and fine regard for expressive details.
Interlude Numbers Popular
Piano accompaniment was outstanding in both clubs. Winifred Hill, fine arts senior, did excellent work throughout, almost stealing the spotlight from the vocalists in H. C. Leighter's "My Lover Comes on the Skee." Marshall Butler, fine
The interlude numbers were most welcome. Georgia Ferrel, college sophomore, and Spencer Bayles, college junior, cleverly acted and sang the "Grand Opera at the Breakfast Table." Bob Jenkins, fine arts sophomore, and Eltrude Elliot, fine arts senior, played "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise" as a marimba duet, and were applauded so heartily that an encore was granted.
Y.M.-Y.W. to Hold Fellowship Supper In Union Tonight
The combined glee clubs, under the direction of Douglas Tarbet, graduate, sang the traditional "I'm a Jayhawk" and the "Alma Mater" to close the program.
Giving 'students and faculty a chance to become acquainted is the main purpose of the fellowship suppers sponsored by the Y.M.C.A.-Y. W.C.A. committee on personality and the family every Tuesday night at 6 o'clock in the Memorial Union building, John Moore, executive secretary of the Y.M.C.A. said today.
The committee invites a cross-section of the student body, including freshman, foreign students, faculty, Greeks, and independents. The two organizations pay most of the expense of the supper while each guest contributes 10 cents.
Margaret Learned, college junior,
is chairman of the committee.
Tonight's supper was arranged by
Eugene Dix, college freshman, and
Helen Martin, college sophomore.
Give NYA Men Building Course
N. Y.A. men working on the Engineering Research laboratory are being given special training in subjects related to the building trades. Courses offered are drafting, estimating, and plan reading.
The classes are being held in Marvin hall under the direction of Fred Stubbeck, former city building inspector, and will continue as long as the men remain on the building project. No professional or college credit will be given for the objections, which the men take in their spare time.
The expense of training the men will be taken by the federal government through the state board of vocational education.

Child Encyclopedia Ask Me,'Says Beverly,3 And Right Answers Flow
Chicago—(UP)—"I," said an assured little voice over the telephone, "can tell you anything you want to know."
This was Beverly Jordan speaking. Beverly is 3 years old,
as years are counted, but her black-curled head is far wiser
than her years. ↵
Rumors that Beverly was the prodigy of her neighborhood had reached the press. A reporter, assigned to investigate, telephoned the Jordan residence to make an appointment.
A childish voice answered. The following colloquy ensued:
Reporter: "May I speak to Mrs. Jordan please?"
Reporter: "Who is this?"
Voice: "My mother has gone out but I can tell you anything you want to know."
Reporter: Who is this
Voice: "This is Beverly Jordan,
and I am 3 years and 9 months
old."
The Planets? That's Easy
The Planets? That's Easy
Reporter: "I hear you're a smart girl, Beverly. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions? Can you tell me the names of the planets?"
Beverly: "There's Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, Mercury and Earth."
Reporter: "Do you know any more?"
Beverly: (scornfully) "Why I thought everybody knew there are only nine planets."
Reporter: (hastily) "Of course, Beverly, of course. Now can you tell me the names of the state capitals?"
Beverly: "Yes, the Statue of Liberty. I was there once. Have you ever seen it?"
Reporter: "That's fine, Beverly. Do you know what is on Bedloe's Island?"
Beverly: "Augusta, Maine; Concord, New Hampshire; Montpelier, Vermont; Providence, Rhode Island; Boston, Mass. ."
Reporter: "That must have been very interesting. Tell me, Beverly, when are you going to start school?" School Procedure Mapped
Beverly: "When I get older. I'm going to go to kindergarten and then to grammar school and then to Catholic school and then to college."
tions for one small girl to answer at a sitting and the interrogator was willing to take on faith the assurance of friends and family that Beverly refers to her head as her "cranium" and her nose as her "proboscis," that she can identify any President of the United States, recite the names of all the Vice Presidents, discourse on Greek mythology and lecture on Edison and Marconi.
Beverly's thirst for knowledge was said to have been stimulated when her mother read to her six or seven hours a day while she was confined to bed by illness at 16 months. She can't read yet but is an omniverous listener to her mother's reading.
