Seniors Slow In Response To Check-Up
"We offer them a complete examination including labatory tests, X-rays, tuberculosis tests and if they wish immunization against typhoid fever. This service would cost $25 an other time but it is offered free of charge. The examination will take 45 minutes."
The letters are being sent in alphabetical order but the seniors who are graduating at the end of this semester are asked to come and make their appointment any time. Many seniors are expected to come in next June, saying that they have landed a job and want a check. "But we will not be able to take care of all of them." says Canteuse.
"Many schools require a physical examination once a year but feel here that the average students health is high enough not to warrant it. However many students who will obtain jobs next year will find that they are expected to have a physical examination before they can start work. If they take advantage of this free examination they will not have to pay the doctor's fee," he explained.
The reason for such poor response to his health letters is due to forgetfulness. Dr. Canuteste believes He thinks that later on the students will make their appointments more frequent because the response will be better when the students understand what is trying to be done for them.
*Health Service Letters To Seniors Regarding Free Examination Get Little Attention
"The seniors do not seem to want a health examination," Doctor R. L. Canuttes said yesterday in an interview. "We have sent 24 letters this week and so far have had six replies."
The University health service is sending a letter to the seniors telling them of the service and asking them to make appointments for the examination which will be given each day during free class periods except Saturday afternoons and Sunday. The seniors will be reminded of their appointments the evening before.
Last year 300 senior students were examined free by the University but this year due to the hike of the cost, they are unable to offer this service to all seniors.

Jay Simon wins a worm-eaten acorn for his brilliant performance in attempting to mail his room's laundry bag. Jay knew the student post-office was somewhere in Frank Strong but that was all. Bag in hand, he went on to wear a mail box on the Philosophy office door. He barged right in and was chagrined at discovering his mistake. But Miss Anna McCracken.

Helen Gels and Bill Grant were walking past the anatomy building and Bill asked Helen if she had ever been inside. Helen said noope to Bill, Helen said why why Bill said, "Oh, maybe we can fan a bone to pick."
Harry (Scoop) Hill is getting to batorious as a practical joker. Not his latest, but one of his most annoying was pulled on a Dickinson theater usherette. Harry and a bunch of journalism majors were looking vainly for seats that Sunday night when the usherette offered her services. Scoop asked her where the rope-off section for his line-party was and the girl went to see the manager. When she returned, her embarrassment was exceeded only by her anger.
And speaking of practical jokes, Mary Fitzgerald was a victim of her Theta sisters' other night. The girls put a red light in her window on the sigma Chi side of the house. They tell me Mary's face was darn near as red as the灯 when she discovered $k$.

Outlook Bright, Says Burke
★Speaks to Engineering And Architecture Class On Visit Here
Promise of a brighter future for young architects leaving school now, and for modern architecture, was forecast by Eugene Burke, '33 of Burke and Kober, architects and merchandise engineers of Los Angeles. The University is a class of the School of Engineering and Architecture yesterday.
The opportunity for younger architects, Burke believe, lies in the fact that business is on an upgrade. With conditions normal much mod- elated, architects can be accomplished, and architects with a fresh viewpoint are needed.
Admitting the necessity for aesthetics in architecture, Burke believes the modern architect must take economies into greater consideration now. His firm, for instance, makes very detailed scientific studies of the building's lines and line of a plan. Such things as checking the location of the building, traffic passing it, the type of goods to be sold, and consumer habits.
Burke opened his office five years ago shortly after graduation from here. Since then the firm has designed such buildings as Desmonds a large department store in downtown Los Angeles; Goldwaters, a demeanor store in Phoenix; Azz Ney's clothing store in Opden, Utah and others.
Calling Car '12'
Investigate; Report
Back; That Is All
"Calling car ear 12, car 12, make an investigation at 1301 Ohio and report back. . . KQBM. . . 8:01, that is all," and Desk-Sergent Dicken the department snapped on the switch in their new two-way transmitter.
The final installation was completed last week on the new radio system which is comprised of one master transmitter and receiver, two portable car transmitters, each with a receiver connected on the same assembly, and a single receiver in the Chief's car.
The two squad cars are number 11 and 12. The equipment is carried in the rear trunk of the cars and the french-phone for two-way (communication is mounted on a lever to the right corner of the dash board).
The transmitter operates on a frequency of 31,500 kilocycles and according to tests has a carrying capacity of 10 miles. The apparatus including installation charges cost the city approximately $2,500.
A large loud speaker stands on the desk and is used most of the time for "call in". A French type phone is also on the desk and can be switched on for a private two-way conversation.
A log is kept by the Desk-Sergeant of all calls made over the station, which is required by the Radio Commission. All of the patrolmen were required to pass a third class radio operator's test.
The master transmitter is located in the station at eighth and Vermont streets and is enclosed in a heavy wire cage facing the sergeant's desk. It stands about 6 feet high and is in one unit that is very compact. The receiver faces the located on a small stand to the led of the transmitter.
New Terrors Drive Many Jews To Suicide
Hitler Will Officiate At Funeral for Young German Diplomat Slain By Polish Jew
★Hitler Will Officiate
Berlin, Nov. 16—(UP)—Score of a new outbreak of Nazi terror gripped German Jews tonight, driving many to suicide, as Fuehner Adolph Hitler prepared to officiate tomorrow at the "martyrs funeral" in Berlin. Von Roth, young German diplomat slain by a Polish Jew in Paris.
There was fear that Hitler's funeral oration would unlease another wave of mob violence against the Jews, despite his warning today that squares will be the answer to any fighting, rioting and destruction.
It also was indicated that Hiller might use the funeral services as an opportunity to strike at President Obama in the annexation of the anti-semitic drive.
The United States, it was learned, has made formal representation to the German government regarding the use of its property in last year's anti-semitic raid.
Ambassador Hugh R. Wilson, who left tonight for Le Havre, where he will sail Thursday night aboard the stewardship Manhattan for home in New York from President Roosevelt, did not personally make the representation.
The U. S. representations, like those made by Great Britain, were in the form of a written note in which Washington reserved all rights, including a demand for reparations.
Jewish fear of more terror to come increased when Natzis swarmed into the streets tonight, dancing and singing in celebration of the old Prussian holiday called "the day of repentence and prayer."

★Spectators Aid Gridmen In Free-For-All After Game; Police Restore Order in Ten Minute
Memphis, Nov. 16 — (UP)—Mississippi defeated Arkansas to 24 to 10 today in an intersectional football game which ended in a free-for-all with players of both teams and hundreds of spectators fighting on the gridiron. The general fight started when Arkansas players swarmed over to the Mississippi bench immediately after the final whistle. Several players of both teams were knocked down and hundreds of spectators ran onto the field and joined in the fighting.
High feeling developed among the players early in the fourth period when Zook Smith, Arkansas end, was knocked unconscious by a hard tackle. He was taken to a hospital in April and remained unharmed but had not been injured seriously and X-ray pictures showed no signs of skull or neck fractures.
Half the galsomed pants and jackets and, for the night, became as arrogant and officious as the puffiest male on the Hill. Others remained "just girls" and let their pasu-masculine dance partners dangle around him boo-dow rhythmized by Clyde Byson's "all boy" orchestra.
Policemen on duty at the game restored order after the fighting had been in progress for about ten minutes.

ELIZABETH MEGUIAR,
Honorable mention for unusual costumes went to Helen Gex, c'40, and Virginia Sheldon, fa '40, for their dress in tacky costumes. Probably the most noticeable headgear of the evening was worn by Helen Gex, who had on a summer hat that was all-straw-and-a-yard-wide; what was lacking in quality of her straw hat was made up in the quantity. The dressing came when the jitterbugs contest and several gold selections sung by the band's vocalist Barbara Edmonds, $^{40}$.
Miss Ruth Hoover, director of physical education for women, "chaperoned" the dance. Add in congenious effect: Virginia Gear, c'42 with her boy friend (Margaret Brown, c'40 on a lounge in the theater) and Madeline Gear and perchin' while Mice Meguari, advocate of women, looked on.
Describes Interesting Personalities
*Mrs. Hawkins Addresses Annual Matrix Table Banquet Last Night At Evans Hearth
Christopher Morley, Frank Lloyd Wright, Dorothy Dix, Stephen Lea-cook, and many other interesting personalities were presented by Mrs. Lucey Rogers Hawkins, editor of the Matrix, national magazine of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary professional sorority, at the annual Matrix Table banquet yesterday evening at Evans Hearth.
Mrs. Hawkins, who has done extensive work in the field of journalism, also teaches a class in Women's Problems in Journalism at Northwestern University, and handles publicity for Chicago firms. She spoke on "Interesting Personalities I Have Interviewed."
The Matrix Table banquet is sponsored by the University chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, and each year brings to Lawrence an outstanding woman journalist, Elizabeth Deming, c. 39, president of the sorority, introduced Mrs. Hawkins to the audience.
The most exciting personality she has ever met, declared Mrs. Hawkins, is Jena Jensen, who recently retired from his life work of landscape artist, to found a school of arts and crafts, "which will train people in crafts for their own homes." His strength of character helped him position himself as this most outstanding characterities.
Mrs. Hawkins has interviewed many authors, the better known among them by Christopher Morley, Vera Brittain, Clemence Dane, novelists, Stephen Leasecock, political scientist and professor at McGill University, Montreal, Canada, and Dorothy Dix, columnist. Miss Dix has the longest record for daily columns, having written her "advice to the lovelorn" for 41 years without missing a day.
Frank Lloyd Wright, noted architect, and Professor August Picard, the French scientist who has made many balloon flights, were two more of the many persons whom Mrs. Hawkins has met in her journalistic work. Mr. Wright gave her some advice on how to fly, she has never forgotten; that the greatest sin of the heart is hate, and the greatest sin of the spirit is fear.
A very unusual person was Jennie Quigley, who at 82 years of age displayed as "the world's oldest living midget" in the Midged Village at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933 and 1934. Mrs. Hawkins was impressed with her attractive and youthful appearance.
The speaker's interesting life exemplified her closing statement, a quotation from William Lyon Phelps, noted author and commentator, that "life should be more exciting for us, so that after the high school graduation youth have faded, we will begin to show the fruits of experience."
Mrs. Hawkins will speak to some of the journalism classes today on opportunities for women in journalism, and will be honor guest this fall at The University by *Thuiz Sigma Phi members* to the Memorial Union building.

Symphony Orchestra in First Concert
★Initial Appearance Will Feature Elizabeth Searle In Harp Solo; Program Is Widely Varied
An unusual concert will be given tonight at 8 p.m. in Hoch auditorium by the University of Kansas Symphony orchestra. According to Prof Karl O. Kuersteiner, director of the symphony orchestra, from the standpoint of the average listener as well as the musician, should prove to be unusually attractive. It has a combination of considerable novelty in the harp concerto and the simple tunes which will begin the program; and also it will beMusic lower deep concentration in the final number by Tachikwala."
Lawrence audiences will hear for the first time, a concerto in one movement for the harp, Elizabeth Searle, fa'39, will be the artist, Miss Searle has majored in music and has played the harp in the symphony orchestra during her four years at the University. She will be accompanied tonight by the entire orchestra.
The opening number tonight will be directed by the assistant orchestra conductor, Lewis Maser, fa.39 Overture to "Oberon" (Weber) depicts the spirit of the opera from which it is taken. The opera relates the spirit of elves and fairies, their romances and their quarrels.
Solo Harp and Orchestra
The second part of the concert will be the "Concertpeice" (Gabriel Pierni) for solo harp and orchestra. The Concertpeice of Pierni is a work cast in a single movement making use principally of three contrasting themes which appear in turn in the orchestra as well as in the solo instrument. The work is one of considerable power.
"The First Roumanian Rhapsody" (Georges Encsox), is constructed on a number of Roumanian folk songs and dances which are played in a free rhapsodic manner, sometimes by a single instrument and other times by the full orchestra. The first version of this movement is developed throughout until the stirring climax at the conclusion of the composition.
The final part of the program will be the "Symphony No. 5 in E Minor" (Tschakowsky). it is four movements, Andante-allegro con anima, andante-allegro con cagno, cenza, Valse, and the Finale (andante maestoso-allegro vivace)
Clarinet Takes Melody
The first movement begins with a dark and gloomy and angle melody played by the clarinet. This melody is repeated throughout the entire composition and it acts as a threat to fate from which there is no escape.
In the second movement, Tashi-
kowky creates one of his moments of rarest beauty. Soft chords in the
tone that famous melody for the horn.
The usual scherzo of the third movement is supplanted by a simple valse, somewhat lujubious in character and erratic in tempo, as if in an effort to be light and gay but never with complete success.
In the finale, there is a marked emotional transition, especially in relation to the fate theme, which now appears in the major key instead of the minor. It is no longer a symbol of weariness and foreboding, but bold, vigorous and self-confident. The orchestra launches into a sturdy march theme, followed in a few moments by the barbaric dance theme which was introduced in the second movement. The two themes are then repeated and pitted against each other in a long development, in which by quickening speed and the use of brilliant scale passes a state of high emotional excitement is created as the symphony's final climax.
Morris Becomes Assistant Editor
Announcement has been made in "The Insurance Magazine" of its new assistant editor, Kenneth L. Morris. Morris was graduated last year from the department of journalism at the University. The offices of "The Insurance Magazine" are in Kansas City and Denver. Morris will be stationed at the Kansas City office.
