Band's Spring Performance Is Versatile
Euphonium Solo, Guest
Conductors, Five-Baton
Exhibition Are Featured
In Program
Rv Morris Thompson, c'38
A large, slightly noisy, but amply appreciative audience heard an outstanding band concert in Hoch auditorium last night as the University Band, under the direction of Russell Burson, with thirty-second annual spring concert.
Outstanding features of the concert were an euphonium solo by James Van Dyck, fa39; the presentation of three guest conductors, leading the band in this year's national contest numbers; the final number. Mammin Veen (Dear Isle of Man) by Haydn Wood, performed by band and organ with Prof. Frank Cunkle at the organ; and the fire baton exhibition by Robert Hampel, e40.
Heavy Clarinet Background
Van Dyck's solo featured strikingly dexterous manipulation of a somewhat unwieldy instrument. But to this reporter, Van Dyck's most laudable accomplishment was the accompaniment which he arranged himself, although it seemed at times too much effort. His background of clarinets was a bit too much competition for the mellow tones of the solo instrument.
Oliver Hobbs, director of the Lawrence High School band, directed the University Band in overture to "Beatrice and Benedict" (Berlioz), the Class A contest number. Earl R Ray, director of the Abileme High School band, directed the Youth" (O'Neill) the class B number. E. Thayer Gaston, director of the Garden City Junior College band, led the band in the overture to "The Caliph of Baghdad" (Boeliedien), the Class C contest number. These numbers were all well directed and pleasing.
Bouquet to Hampel
Robert Hampel's four-color baton exhibition gave the edge of the-seat touch sometimes lacking in a symphonic band concert. Hampel used a series of colors for the handling of the baton, but for developing the colors used.
The remaining numbers were not outstanding simply because all numbers on a program cannot be扫标签. Valge Caprice, a trio for cornetes by Short, arranged from the top of a large piano played by Boyle, Lewis Master, c38, and Leo Horacec, c41, presented a pleasing arrangement well played.
The closing number with band and organ was a fitting climax to a moving concert. The organ added a powerful on-piling of ponderous phrases.

Discovery: -A trio of last year’s top journalists which included Dave Hamlin, in the Grill, or “Basement at 622” on Topeska's main drug. We must say the spot is quaint. Booths from Parece, low ceiling, and full wall mirror for the ladies. And to top it off, a “draw” man who might have stepped out of a picture of the Bowery.

Remodel Mining Lab
The mining engineering laboratory in Haworth hall is being remodeled and condensed so that the same space will also contain the metallurgy and metallography laboratories.
New equipment will be added to the present dress-educating laboratory, and it will be condensed. Another floor is being built in the rear hall of the room for the two new laboratories. A catwalk near the ceiling of the building connects the main part of Haworth hall with the Kansas Geological Survey building in the back, so that will not be necessary to walk through the laboratories as formerly.
The new laboratories will be occupied late this spring, according to C. M. Young, professor of mining engineer<sup>1</sup>g.

The attempted murder of the 42-year-old Yezhov, who is the most feared man in Russia because he springs the trap of Dictator Joseph V. Stalin's purge that has taken 1500 lives, was revealed by a group of medical experts called into court by Prosecutor Andrew Vishinsky.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1938
Yezhov lives the life of a hermit within the pink stone walls of the Kremlin, and until his picture was printed in newspapers a few months ago, after he received the Order of Lenin, knew what the short, pale and bushy-haired master-mind of Stalin's purge looked like.

Shore's 'Invention Of the Week' Keeps Spring Fever Away
Close friends of Schiller Shore have asked him to put the production of his new inventions and research on a basis of one contribution to humanity per week. "If necessary, do as Edison and allow yourself only four hours of sleep each day," they insist.
The marvel consists of an eye dropper suspended around the neck with a red ribbon. When the student dozes, he drops his head, allowing the chin to make contact with the bulb on the dropper. The machinery is simple, but also very effective when a shot of ammonia is released under the would-be sleeper's nasal apparatus.
This week Mr. Shore, well-known Campus philanthropist, offers to the public a new marvel. The invention is named, "Dopey Dose Drop" and is designed to keep the spring-flowering student awake in class.
Among those students who can testify that the machine works perfectly, are the Chelsea Club and George Church, journalism laboratory supervisor.

Fontiac, Mich., March 7—(UP)—The Rev. Leland L. Marian, who is calling in a spade a spade and “the average church a third rate amusement joint,” blamed the *Black Legend* tonight for causing him to lose his pulpit because he included statements common law marriage
"The Black Legion," the handsome, militant minister of the First Christian church said today, "invaded my church services last night, and a police officer came to me and they can't make me worship the gospel as I see it."
His parishoners raised their eyebrows last week when the fire Rev. Mr. Marion announced from the pulpit that God condones common law marriages. Some were shocked when he added his view:
"The average church is just a third rate amusement joint—just a social church."
Indignant deacons stalked from the church to the office of Judge Frank L. Dotty, who issued an arrest order that Marion from reentering the pulpit.
The Rev. Mr. Marion required to an abandoned store building for services last night. He said several hundred attended. Of the ouster, he

"Mal Hallett is keeping up his fine reputation as a swing band producer. This bunch he has now swings, and swings so much that you're pretty dizzy by the time it's listening to most of its repertoire."
"Give plenty of credit to the brass," the review continues. "All five of the boys sock everything right on the rose; there's no holding back." You're in it, at you and it's the one kind of sock this review reverbs in taking. And don't miss Mickey McMichael at his own little slangbam action. This lad

Thus did Metronome, leading popular music magazine, characterize the "name" band which plays at Friday's band time at Friday's Juniper Prom.
Hallett, famous in New England, has been known throughout the country among musicians as a great producer of swing bands. His present-day edition has been doing quite a bit of barnstorming, and has appeared at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City and the Meadowbrook in New Jersey with CBS wires." States Are Good"
'Saxes Are Good'
Washington, March 7.—(UP) —The supreme court today abandoned its 16-year-old position on tax immunity and, for the first time in history, gave the federal and state governments reciprocity protection derived from land, which they have leased to land operators.
Court Grants Reciprocal Tax Powers High Tribunal Quits Its 16-Year-Old Position On Tax Immunity; The Case Favors Wyoming
Dizzy After Hearing Repertoire Of Mal Hallett and His Swing Band
Three students, whose names will be announced later, plan to give talks on subjects related to the central topic. All students are invited to attend the discussion, which should be particularly interesting because of its relation to questions brought up by the recent proposal for a "red investigation" in state educational institutions.
Lawrence and King in Forum
The state under the lease got 65 per cent of royalties from gas and oil produced on the land, the money to go into the state school fund.
The court reversed its stand in a case which had attracted little attention in legal circles. It involved a challenge by the Wyoming Oil Association of the legality of taxes imposed by the government on income on so-called 'land land' leases to a company by the state of Wyoming.
A panel discussion of the topic "Freedom and License," led by the Rev. Joseph F. King, pastor of the Congregational church, and Raymond Lawrence, assistant professor of journalism, will feature the next student forum, to be held this Thursday evening in the men's lounge of the Union building. The meeting will commence at 8 o'clock. Some of the phases include an interview with the forum include the following. How free can professors be in expressing their views to their pupils? What freedom can we give to Fascists and Communists in America? Will dangerous ideas corrupt the plastic minds of American students?

regard for his lip and which really lands."
The band's arrangements, done mostly by Frank Ryerson, the first trumpeter, are "good and much fun to listen to."
"The four saxes are right in there, too. The boy phrase well together, and they're accurate on some pretty tough passages, too. Standout火 man is Andy Anderson on tenor; he doesn't elist the off usual bunch of copied figures and instrumental instruments on tenor playing. For balance of the band in general, especially on smooth tunes, the four saxes can't be beat."
Praise in the review is given to Hallett rhythm section. "Joe Carbone, for years a standby with Hallett, plays lots of bass, and also turns in some crazy comedy stuff," Blake on drums, swings plenty."
Rhythm Section Praised
"Vocalists are good, with Miss Lila Rose going over plenty big with crowds. Buddy Welcome delivers in a buddy reminiscent of Jack Teague-inspired manner," while Clark Kenzon brings back memories of Kevin Sargent's work."

Bruce Gives Senior Recital
Program Given in Frank Strong Hall S u n d a y Afternoon
Mary Jane Bruce, fa'38, played before a large audience in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall Sunday afternoon, in' the senior recital of this year.
Opening with the Schumann "Carnival," with its some twenty or so characterizations of carnival life and spirit, Miss Bruce added to the interest of her listeners by the use of interpretative notes quietly flashed on a screen at the side of the stage, which not only defined the sketch being played, but in most cases added a few words of description as well.
next came the Debussy "Suite Bergamasque" with its four divisions, followed by Chopin's "Andante Sainato and Polonise."
In her fourth group she presented a touch of the modern tendencies in five short pieces which included one composed by Miss Bruce herself. Two numbers by Eugene Goossens, "Dance Memories" and "The Marionette Show," and a similar number, "A Gilded Girl" by the Sumner composition. Libert, were next. The number of this group, "Bathers in the Sun," by Severac, was a more pretentious effort in modern writing.
Closing the program, Miss Bruce honored her teacher, Carl A. Preyer, by playing his concert transcriptions with the waltz, "Thousand and One Nights." $^{15}$
Among those attending the recital were some guests from Kansas City, Kan., including Miss Bruce's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. Oscar Cruse, and Ms. and Mrs. Katherine Bruce. Miss Bruce had her training before coming to the University
