Band Concert 'Listenable' Days Uncritical Critic
Bv ROSCOE BORN
There were a lot of cars in front of Hoch Auditorium last night. So many cars, in fact, that from the outside you could not tell if the University band was playing a concert or "Phog" Allen's basketball players were fighting for the league championship.
But if you managed to get inside, you'd know what was going on. Russell Wiley and the band were putting on a show.
Now I'm no music critic. I couldn't tell you (even if you'd be interested) about any errors the band might have made, or if the music was this, or that, or any of the other things critics like to write
about.
All I know is I spent an hour and a half in the auditorium, and the time seemed more like 15 minutes. Somebody one row back said it was "certainly a listenable concert" and that comment seems to cover things.
Only two things about the evening that I regret: It was so difficult to find a parking place near the auditorium that I had to miss the first part of the concert; wise man Ed Garich, the man who ordinarily would be filling this space with knowing comments on the concert, was* sick abed last night and didn't get to take in the show. Might Not Have Liked 'Pavanne'
Don't know what the ailing Garich would be saying about the concert now, but chances are he'd be talking about the way the band executed the "long-haired music" on

Czech Exchange Student Finds Variety At Kansas
By BOB VIATE
Jerry Holy, an exchange student from Czechoslovakia, is spending his time at the University in a novel and unusual way.
The Interfraternity Council is sponsoring his graduate study and providing for his stay at four different fraternity houses in one year.
At Delta Chi House First
During the first half of the fall semester, Jerry stayed at the Delta Chi house. Naturally these first few weeks were the most difficult for the exchange student, but Jerry took it all in stride Because he speaks excellent English, as well as five other lan-
After staying at the Delta Chi house until mid-semester, Jerry moved to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house. He will stay there until the semester is over. Then he will move in with the Phi Psi's and Phi Gam's during the second semester.
Gains Numerous Friends
Although Jerry stays in each house only a short time he has gained numerous friends. Besides being an excellent scholar, Jerry is a good athlete. He is especially proficient in tennis, ping pong, and basketball. He also goes to a majority of the social functions on the Hill.
Jerry must believe in a wellrounded education, for he has studied in Chicago as well as abroad before coming to Kansas.
Fair and warmer for Eastern Kansas today and tomorrow.
Favorite College Word Is "Hello"
Alfred, N.X.—(UP)—The Alfred University survey has made a startling discovery. The word "hello" is spoken 175 times a day by the average student.
The high for one person is reached by some girls who give the salutation as many as 350 times on warm spring or summer days. This average, though, is brought down by some of the timid youth who speak only when spoken to.
Smith Recovering from Injury
Verner F. Smith, professor of architecture, who was injured in an automobile accident three weeks ago, is recovering at his home at 1821 Mississippi. It is expected that he will have to wear a cast on his leg for five more weeks.
the program. He might be saying that the band lost tempo on "Pavanne."
Here's Wishing You All a Swell Vacation. A Happy Christmas - And a New Year Filled With Happiness.
But not me. I and the 3,500 others in the audience will be talking for some time about—
How Director Wiley was up to his usual P. T. Barnum self.
From the boys with the "Gas Tailor-made for Kansas" and Hood Tires, guaranteed 15 months.
How the Jayhawk Trumpeteers twiddled their tongues on the Boilero.
MOTOR-IN
The One-Stop Service Station — Skelly Products
How masculine the music sounded when the band boomed out with that "Shoulder to shoulder" stuff in the Sigmund Romberg medley. Foot Say 'Let's Dance'
Feet Say 'Let's Dance'
How satisfying it would have been to dance when the K.U. Saxet, plus a bull fiddle and a drummer, set about to bring down the house with "T'll Never Smile Again."
How Wayne Ruppenthal probably never played his trumpet portion of the sax number the same way twice. And how it would be good any way he happened to play it.
How Wiley always seemed able to get more power from the band when you'd swear the "Procession to the Cathedral" was taking all the band had already.
How bass-drummer Bill Ward managed to keep an ordinary right arm going in that double-jointed swing.

'Phog' Allen Speaks To Pharmacy Students
Whether students in the School of Pharmacy were throwing test tubes in waste baskets this afternoon has not been reported. At any rate, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Jayhawk basketball coach, addressed the pharmacists at their convocation today. Allen spoke on "Physical Fitness for Efficiency."
