UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Critic Meets His Waterloo At Sunday Music Vespers
By ED GARICH
Confessions of a disillusioned critic (7).
My days as a music critic are numbered. I can see the handwriting on the wall.
After all, what kind of a music critic can come out and bald-facedly say he likes something, especially music, and retain the respect of his fellow writers?
I have absolutely no complaints against the 666 vesters which played to an audience of about 360 in Hoch auditorium Sunday afternoon.
The University symphony began this Waterloo of mine with the "Eury-anthe Overture" (Weber). The number sounded good. Of course, the orchestra had one previous public performance of the work under its belt, so they've got an albi.
The Wilkins' carried on with
Come, Ever Smiling Liberty" from
"Judas Maccabeus", a thing one
George Handel whipped up in a weak
moment. To my notion, the Wilkins'
are about the best think musical on
the campus.
The University A Cappella Choir then trouped onto the stage for their contribution. The only rough spot in the group of four numbers came in the "Autumn" (Gretchaninoff), when they were almost led astray by the overly-active finger of their conductor. The other three numbers "Cherubim Song" (Muzicheski-Tkach), "My Soul There Is a Country"

(Parry), and "Gladsome Radiance" (Gretchaninoff) were worth orchids. Leader of the group, Dean D. M. Swarthout, says he received more compliments on yesterday's work by the choir than any other time he can remember.
The string quartet, composed of Waldemar Geltch, (he of the mellow G string), Eugene Nininger, Karl Kuesterstein (eraswhile keeper of the up-bread for the symphony), and Raymond Stuhl, gave out with the "Quartet Opus 11" (Teichalkowsky), a little number part of which is better known to irreverent barbarians of Tin Pan Alley as "The Isle of May."
The wind-up of the afternoon was "An Abraham Lincoln Song" written by the grand old man of American music, Walter Damrosch. Based on Walt Whitman's poem, "O Captain, My Captain," it featured Irene Peabody as soloist, with the symphony and the choir helping with the heavy work. Miss Peabody gave a good, stout performance.
Well, there it is, and believe it or not, I really enjoy being able to wrap up a big bunch of orchids and present them to the members of Sunday's cast. Evidently I'm not the only one who liked it, for the audience applauded several times,
which just ain't supposed to be done
at vespers, don't you know.
College Faculty Meets Today
A report on all proposed changes in the College curriculum will be made by the administrative committee at the meeting of the College faculty in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall this afternoon, Dean Paul E. Lawson said this morning.
Here's hoping the high standard set Sunday is maintained.
A special committee, appointed last year to study the changes to be made in the music major in the College, will make its report on the revision of the music major.
All departments in the College upon the recommendation of Dean Lawson, have made a thorough study of their courses and are preparing a revision and re-evaluation of their courses. The changes to be made as a result of the curriculum survey will be reported to the administrative committee at each College faculty meeting.
