Jayhawkers Primed For Revenge
Small Audience Hears Orchestra In Fall Concert
★ Karl Kueersteiner Directs Program Featuring Brahms' 'Symphony No. 1 in D Major'
To a semi-filled house last night the University of Kansas Symphony orchestra, under the direction of Karl Kuersteiner, played its annual fall concert in Hoch auditorium.
By a Member of the Kansan Staff
Featured reading of the evening was Brahm's "Symphony No. 2 in D. Major." The four movements of this delicate and delightful symphony are tops in musical literature but the rendition given them last night, though passing, left much desired. Either the orchestra lacked practice or the number is too difficult for the college group; or the direction was poor. Parts: Sparkling
Parts of the four movements were sparkling and clear, made more beautiful by contrast to the rest. The audience, however, gave director Kuesterlein strong applause at the end, and called him back to the stage twice for bows. They applauded, the efforts of the orchestra.
Saint-Auen, "Carnival of Animals," must have been designed for simple minds like that of the reviewer for we enjoyed it immensely. The illustrations are descriptive sections, most of which were played delightfully last night.
At the two pianos for the Saint-
Saens composition were Loren
Withers, fa 41; and Marshall Butler,
fa 42. Their two piano work, without doubt, was the hit of the evening. During sketch number 11 of the series, "The Fossil," the two pianos donned false beards and played in a manner designed to emulate the flourish of the piano players of another day. The audience got a tremendous kick out of the number and stopped the series with their applause.
Asa's Death Backwards
Director Kuersteiner announced, during the program, that he had decided to eliminate Strauss" "Tales from the Vienna Woods"; but loud cries from the audience re-inserted it in the evening's repertory. We were told later that the actor knew his listeners would draw it out of him.
An experiment on the program was "Hired Sasa" by "Girg." which turned out to be, as you can see if you try, "Aaa's Death!" by Grieg, printed in the folder and played by the orchestra backwards. It was the way we ever had hand the University symphony do that deliberately.
Other numbers on last night's program were: Barrios, "Roman Carnival Overture," and Brahms, "Academic Festival Overture."
The orchestra swung into the riel melody of this familiar Strauss waits in a manner entirely pleasing.
Individuals who stood out in last night's performance, beside the pianists, were Paul Stoner, concertmaster; Eugen Nininger, principal of the second violins; Vincent Bleecker, second chair violist; Sara Mohler, cello principal; Robert Form of the oboe section; and Robert Jeikus, marimba and tympanist.

Moon Takes Lead In 'Sky Night' Show
Second "sky night" of the department of astronomy will be held tonight from 7 to 9 o'clock if the weather is clear enough to permit views of the moon through the small six-inch telescope, N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, announced yesterday.
"It is now the half-moon period and clear views of the craters and mountains on the surface of the satellite will be seen by all who attend." Professor Storer said. He explained that this better view of the topography of the moon is due to the sun shining at an angle to the lunar surface, causing the mountains and sides of the craters to cast shadows which accentuate these marks on its surface.
Professor R. H. Wheeler of the department of psychology left Lawrence Wednesday afternoon to give Iowa State College at Ames, Iowa.
With the sun shining at a direct perpendicular direction the moon appears as a smooth surfaced body.
Professor Wheeler will lecture on certain phases of experimental work in Gestalt psychology that are being carried on at the University.
Cause of Blazes Still Not Known To Fire Officials
K.U. Professor To Give Lecture Series in Iowa

\* Investigation Has Been Under Way Since Oct. 30. Phil Delt Members and Employees Questioned
Cause of the five fires at the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house had not seen determined last night, although Id Smith, deputy state fire marshal, aid the investigation was still underway.
The state fire marshal's office has been investigating the blazes since Oct. 39. Smith had been questioning members and employees of the fraternity, although he said "nothing definite" had as yet been found.
House members succeeded in putting out the second fire on Oct. 29 without the aid of the fire department.
The first fire broke out at 8 p.m. on October 24 in a closet on the third floor of the house. Firemen had no trouble in extinguishing the fire.
The fourth fire came on Nov. 12 at 3:48 p.m. At 3:28 p.m. trucks had gone to a minor blaze about three blocks from the Phi Delt house. This fire was caused by defective wiring, the fire chief said.
Most damaging fire of the epidemic broke loose at 6:30 p.m. two later, on Oct 30. This time the blaze started in a trunk and lined close on the third floor, ate through the first floor, and reached the south end of the structure.
At this time fraternity officials estimated the total damage of the three fires at $4,000.
The fraternty blaze started in a closet on the third floor in the middle of the house. The closet opened into a room which was not occupied during that weekend. Investigators could not find the exact point of origination in the closet and deputy investigators were unable to no wiring of any kind in the room. The closet contained nothing but clothing and suitcases.
A few minutes after firemen arrived, another blaze, the fifth of the series, was discovered in another section of the third floor.
It was estimated by Phil Dhi
alumni that about $2,100 was added
to the total damages in the last
fire.
In all of the five fires there has been no damage to the structural unity of the $80,000 building.
A short-wave diathermy apparatus, a gift from the class of 1914, has been set up in Watkins Memorial hospital, Dr. R. I. Canutson, director of the student health service, ago yesterday.
This instrument will be used for electroautery and the treatment of sprains requiring heat. The machine will also be used for the removal of deep veins. The machine may be set aside for such minor operations, Dr. Camtenesa said.

Two cows browsing gently near Green hall yesterday morning gave the Campus a pastoral air it hasn't. The girls walk to Manhattan sank the goal posts.
Unabashed by rude stares from early-class students, Beatrice and Tilde (the cows) went about getting breakfast with calm mien. By noon, the cows scarcely had disappeared leaving scarcely a trace of their short stay here.
'Contact' Starts Flight Training
★ Two Men and Two Women
Fly New Acronicas; Helen
Hays Flies from Cincinnati
With the signal of "contact" two women and two men students of the University Aeronautical training course began their actual flight instruction at the airport yesterday morning.
Arrangements for this phase of training were completed Tuesday with the arrival of two more of the five Aeriona planes ordered. These planes were flown back from Cincinnati by instructors of the Ashcraft Brothers fiving school, the company that was granted the contract for the air training in the aeronautical course.
Helen Hay Flies Back
Helen Hay, c'40, civil aeronautic student, and daughter of Prof. E.D.

The Wassermann test was established as an optional part of physical examinations at the University in December, 1937, as a result of a student campaign initiated by the Daily Kansan.
This number, Dr. Cautenus said, is considerably less than the number of students who had applied for the diagnostic test at the same time in this year. The number increased with the completion of senior physical examinations, in which the test is a routine part. New students applying for Wasserman tests this fall at the time of entrance examinations were
Coach Bill Reinhart is bringing a dangerous outfit to Mt. Orcad to do battle with the Crimson and Blue. The Colonials have turned in only two wins, in five starts, but the last time out they were barely beaten, 13 to 7, by Clemson, one of the strongest teams in the South. Heading the invaders will be Bob Nowakey, a bruising, 200-pound, rated one of the best in the East. Many think he is of all-American caliber. In addition to his yeoman labor on defense, Newasky lends a very helping hand to the offensive department. When he gets a pass tucked under his arm, he hugs it like a seasoned halfback.

Several objections were raised to the test at that time; first, that syphilis would not be found among students; second, that the test would be unreliable. Third, that the school; third, that it would be evidence of low moral standards and

If the Jodyhawks play the type of ball they did last week against Nebraska, local fans should be in for an entertaining afternoon. At that time Kanea flashed the best brand of football it has shown since last fall's dombyrow at Manhattan. The tacklers were tackling and the blockers were blocking.
During that year, a total of 1,815 students were tested, including 1-277 men and 538 women. Five positive Wassermann reactions were found in this number, four of which were men students and one a woman.
In no case did the student know he had been infected prior to the examination, physicians at the hospital found, although a definite history of exposure was obtained in each situation.
Coach Henry expects to send the same bunch to the wars that started against the Huskers, with the exception of Jack Turner, who will get the green light at right neckle. Steve Renko and Rush Chittie open at ends, Dan Rhule will start opposite Turner, and Quido Massane and Jay Kern will bulwark center Den Pierce. The secondary quartet will be composed of Milt Sullivant, quarterback; Dick Amereine and Frank Bukaty, halbbacks; and Ed Hall, fullback.
Last year, with less publicity given the free examination, 627 students were tested. Of this number 130 had positive Wassermann results.
George Washington may be first in war and first in peace, but not in the hearts of the countryside around these parts. When Kansas tangles with the Colonials at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in Memorial stadium the Jayhawkers will be withholding even the customary love of the host.

Treatment must be continued for at least 72 weeks, physicians have found, before the patient can be pronounced cured.
Syphilis cannot be recognized without careful examination, and untreated cases always lead to physical and mental disability relatively early in life. The disease is quiescent for a long period of time after vaccination. It does not develop which leads patients to believe that they are no longer affected.
