Four Concert Dates Set For Orchestra
Four concerts are included in the spring schedule of the University of Kansas Symphony orchestra which was announced yesterday by the group's director, Karl Kuersteiner.
On April 4, the orchestra will present the first performance of "Fairy Suite," composed by Carl Preyer, professor of piano, and orchestrated by Mr. Kuersteiner. The program will be climaxed by the symphonic suite "Scheherazade," (Rimsky-Korsakov).
In announcing the spring concert schedule, Mr. Kuersteiner also listed the names of 15 new members of the orchestra, and, saying that in some few instances there were still openings in the group, urged those interested to see him immediately.
Highlighting the annual Music Week, the orchestra will offer on May 1, an all-Bach program which will include the "Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F Major." The Westminster A Cappella Choir will join with the orchestra to present the German composer's "Magnificat."
A concert of original orchestrations on May 9 will be followed by the final presentation of the season, a program in the Kansas City Municipal auditorium on May 18.
New members of the orchestra are: violins; Morton Green, gr; Jean Entriken, fa'42; Eunice Lovett, b'41; and Mrs. Mildred King. Viola: Louise Greenlee, fa'40. Cello: Kathryn Cooper. Bass: Velma Cassel, fa'41; Joseph Langworthy, c'40; William Jackson, fa'40. Oboe: Robert Pine, fa'41. Flute: Olga Carl, fa'42. Brass Lloyd Reist, fa'41; Jack Miller, c'40; George Dewre, Herbert Hamilin, e'41.
You Said It!—
(Continued from page six) mand that practically all classes of society have created, I feel that the college should offer a course in the study of the game of cards from any moral standpoint; I wish only to observe that social amenities require some knowledge of this game.
In our university the practice of offering practical courses of this nature is not new. The department of speech now has a course in movies. The department of physical education offers courses in social dancing, fencing, equitation, golf, tennis, and swimming.
Educators for years fought the introduction of the above mentioned courses to the curriculum; they should now realize their value, as well as that of bridge, as essential to well-rounded, cultural, development.

Campus Patrolman Issues A Final Warning to Motorists
Campus Patrolman George Snyder issued a final warning to campus motorists yesterday that all traffic and parking regulations will again be enforced beginning tomorrow.
Snyder said all stop signs and the speed limit of 20 miles per hour must be observed. "Parking in the wrong zone, also, will be penalized," the officer concluded, "for it is just as wrong as parking in the street."
Hell Week Was Abolished in 1937
But Ask a Greek Neophyte
By Wandalee Carlson, c'42
Mt. Oread's annual Hell Week will take its usual toll in tortured pledges this month, although the activities of Greek initiation ceremonies will be somewhat subdued, unofficial and in some cases masked by virtuous names.
This was indicated yesterday as some fraternities and sororites prepared to carry out plans for the mid-year hazing of new initiates even in the face of opposition from the administration and of discouragement from the two Pan-Hellenic councils. Most organizations have been warned also by their national headquarters to cease Hell Week activities, as it was giving fraternities on the whole a "black eve."
In 1937 the men's Pan-Hellenic council passed a rule to the effect that Hell Week was to be abolished and a three day pre-initiation ceremony substituted, with the ceremony being held on the premises of the organization. Penalty for violation was to be a $50 fine.
In the past the fraternities and sororites have subjected their pledges to tortures that have resulted in both physical and mental anguish. The sororites used somewhat gentler means when they reduced the pledges to a state of humility. Physical exposure, seavanger hunts, and even branding with a red hot iron were favorites when Hell Week was at its peak in fraternities.
Those who indicated that they planned to make things generally uncomfortable for their pledges were keeping their plans a secret. This week of ordeal will be disguised under such names as "education" "health," etc.
During the '29-'30 Hell Week some 31 pledges were arrested with the complaint that they were prowling around dressed as hoboes. One group was even found in a poultry house counting chickens. The point was that the "hoboes" could not be listinguished from real chicken
