Harp Student Shows Talent At Concert
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1938
Lewis Maseer, fa 39, assistant conductor of the orchestra, directed the players at the beginning of the concert in the spiritus Overture to "Oberon" (Weber). The light flute and clarinet runs depicted the spirit of elves and fairies, their romances and their quarrels.

Splendid Performance
Last Night
Star of the concert was charming Elizabeth Searle, harpist. Her rendition of "Concert Piece" (Pierne) was the finest bit of solo work we have seen on Hoch and titulum stage for many a season Other stars of the concert were: Joe Vansickle for his excellent horn work in the second movement of the symphony; Gordon Terviller and his clarinet in the first movement of the symphony and Alex Fielder, flutist, who has been a concert star for years.
The "Concertpiece" is a work cast in a sing movement making use principally of three contrasting themes which were played first by Miss Searle and later taken up by the audience. A big response by the audience who seemed to recognize the difficulty of the harp concerto.
Harp Solo Pleases
Elizabeth Searle, fa'39, showed much talent as her nimble fingers gracefully picked the strings of her harp. She played the "Concert-piece" (Gabriel Pierni) with the entire orchestra softly accompanying.

There was a time when we would have thought that if the University Symphony got into anything deeper than "Narcissus" or the Beaurette Bid Dumba, the Our beautiful depth last night in a half-filled auditorium the Symphony kept its head well above water in several difficult selections, the least of which was Tchaikovsky's magnificent old "Fifth Symphony."
The dark and gloomy andante movement introduced the migo theme which was repeatedly heard throughout the symphony sounding the threat from which there was no escape. The andante contabile was softly played by the strings who in turn, made way for the barbary dance theme of the horn.
Third Movement Changes Mood
To conclude the first part of the program, the orchestra played the gypsy-like "First Routaniian Rhapsoy" (Georges Enesco). A short intermission rested the players for the second section of the concert which consisted of the "Symphony No. 5 in E Minor" (Tchaikowski).
The third movement brought a break in the tension of the audience as the orchestra changed into a simple wise, somewhat humorous libretto.
Z-229
The finale of the famous symphony was a bold, vigorous emotional transition as the key changed from the minor to the major. It was here that Prof. Kuehrer showed his mastery of conducting when he brought all of the instruments into play. In the town, were inverted and pitted against each other. The speed was quickened and many difficult scale passages created a high emotional excitement to climax the brilliant symphony.
ON THE
Dear Reader: On the definitely serious side for a change, if your friends ever do something amusing or funny or embarrassing, why not send me a note telling me of the incident. Possibly they would like to have their names mentioned in your book, but true, I never discover the source. If it's not—well. Or if you want to tell something on yourself, it's still better.

Chancellor Lindley Receives New Honor
Student Once Sent Byrd A Phoney Radio Message
In all, 403 jobs were assigned to students, who earned $2,476.46 in these jobs. Until this month the record for jobs assigned was 305 in March, with an amount of wages earned was $2,064.1 during March, 1938.
Upham took to this like a duck to water and emerged somewhat of a personage in 1926 when he sent a phony message to Admiral Byrd at the South Pole. He at that time was working for a radio distributor, as a trouble shooter, having been forced out of high school for lack of funds.
The Chancellor will visit Washington on University business be fore he returns to Lawrence.
Stuart Upham, e'unci, has been everything from a "ham" radio operator to district sales manager for a large radio corporation.
During the month of October the Men's Employment Bureau found jobs for more students and a greater amount of money was earned by these students, than any month in the history of the bureau, Mrs. Frank Parker, secretary, announced today.
Of the 403 jobs given out by the Bureau, 16 were new, permanent jobs, 90 were permanent jobs assigned earlier in the year, and 207 were old jobs. From the opening of the Office on January 8, 1954, of November 645 men registered with the Bureau. Of this number 149 did not enroll in school this fall.
Ruth Olive Brown, c40, and Leo Roy Fugitt, c39, are co-chairmen for this year's commission. The will be elected Sunday evening.
A new honor was accorded Chancellor Lindley yesterday when he was elected vice-chairman of the board of trustees of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Science its annual session in New York.

However, the deposition forced his company into receivership and he lost that job. But an official of the company who transferred to Westinghouse, got him a job similar to his old one with that company. He stayed there several years, but returned to Kolster when that company was revived by International Telephone and Telegraph.
Upham had the temetery to ask Byrd if his Kolarzer equipment was working all right. He signed the message with the Kolarzer president's name. Byrd wirelessed to the president of Kolarter that the equipment was all right. There was much attention from other officers over the incident. Upham then got a job with Kolarzer as a field engineer.
By helping correct some mistakes in one of the models Kolster put out, Upham again got the attention of the powers that were in the com-

Engineers Hear Dr. H. E. Riggs
★President of A. S. C. E.
Speaks at Convocation
Yesterday
The courage and the indomitable will to build that has made Kansas engineers a potent factor in the progress of America, were yesterday re-stated by a distinguished alumnus, Dr. Henry Earle Riggs, 86, who after 52 years, returned here to address the junior-seigner engineering convoction as president of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the highest honor bestowed in his profession.
Doctor Riggs, as a young engineer, helped肌 middle western villages with railroad steel into an area of towns and cities. His research work in public utility valuation brought light on their true worth.
To other pioneer alumni of the school, Doctor Riggs paid tribute Joseph Jacobs, 87, who was picked as one of the three experts of the country in hydraulics to estimate the cost of the Passaquamda dam project. Jacobs was recognized nationally as an expert on water supply in arid regions.
There was Arthur Adams 86, who rebuilt the waterworks of San Francisco and other towns of the bay region after the disasterer earthquake. Lippincott, 87, who beheaded engineer of the Norfolk navy yard.
"We had one building when I was in school, Fraser hall," he said. "The engineering school occupied the top floor—the northeast corner. We had three classrooms in one room without confusion. And it was easy for Professor Marvin, who was the total faculty of the school, to teach them."
Dr Roger Riggs will be guest tonight at the joint banquet of the state section of the A. S. C. E, and the student chapter here.
Following that he will continue his tour of engineering schools. As president of the A. S. C. E. he has visited some 42 ranking from M. I. T. in Bostin to the University of Hawaii in the Pacific.

'Sititis' Is Public Ailment Says Bagley
★Speaker Presented by Sasnak Club Gives Analysis of Need for Physical Education
"Sittite" was declared to be the great American ailment by Mr. Arthur E. Bagley, director of physical education for the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, in a talk held by Hooke spoke at the Sasaki Club an organization of students majoring in physical education.
The talk, entitled "Physical Education Out Front," was a very informative and interesting analysis of how students can get education throughout the nation.
According to Mr. Bagley, Americans are rapidly becoming more and more health-conscious. They realize that to be a success in life, one must have not only a good mind, but also a healthy body to provide the great store of energy that is needed to maintain one in the never-ending drive for success.
"When you teach physical education you sell life," said Mr. Bagley, "for good health is the most valuable and useful commodity in the world."
" 'Sittit' is the most prevalent disease in our modern world. Modern man has become so used to inactivity that he berates the architect for not providing a how mirror showing, and the accessible executive borrified at the suggestion of walking three blocks to a movie."
According to the speaker, it is the duty of teachers of physical education to cure Americans of their lethargy, and to instil in them an interest in active, health-giving sports. He argued that physical instruction leads to a progressive man-kind, one in which the people work to develop their bodies as well as their minds.
