Symphonic Band
"Students hear it at rallies, basketball games and various other activities, but they have not heard the call. I have heard it have heard it on the concert stage."
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1938
The foregoing statement was made yesterday by Prof. Russell L. Wiley, director of the University Band, in reference to its formal spring conformance will be given next Monday evening at 8 o'clock in Hoeh auditorium.

"I am especially anxious," said Director Wiley, "that the students take advantage of the fact that they are admitted on their activity tickets, and will come out and hear the band in its coming concert."
An exceptionally interesting and varied program has been arranged, which will include a group of recent publications written especially for the modern symphonic band, one of which, entitled "Rhapsody in Rhumba" (Bennett), is permeate with a distinctly modern rhythm.
'Jayhawk Trumpeteers' Will Play
Also presented on the program will be the three required numbers for the class A, B and C bands, respectively, for the national music contest to be held here in the spring. These numbers will be under the direction of three visiting conductors: Oliver Hobbs of the Lawrence Memorial High School, who will direct the class A number; Earl R. Ray of the Abilene High School, who will direct the class B number; and E. Thipper Gaston, supervisor of music in the Garden City schools, who is now doing graduate work at the University, and who will direct the class C number.
Mr. Wiley will conduct the band through three new English compositions by Haydn Wood, which were also written expressly for the symphonic band. Also featured on the program will be the well known "Jayhawk Trumpeters," composed of Robert Boyle, baft'le, Louis Maurer, fa'un; and Leo Horace, c'41 James Van Dyck, fa39, assistant director of the band, will play a baritone solo.

on the SHIN by Mitchell and Wire
A taxi driver told us this one, Upon arriving at Blank sorority house three hours after closing hours he was entreated to help get the rather so-gal in a second story window. A woman walked behind and the three started to work. Formation went something like this: barrel, taxel taxi, driver, and girl on top. The lad was wobblyly holding the wobby barrel, when the top went through and much noise ensued. Housemother Blank's hinter yard was cluttered and the housemother too (she wasn't barking). We wanted to know which house, but the cabby was stubborn.
The time is nearing for the senior to start looking for that elusive thing called a job. We inquired into the teaching situation just for fun and pass on the results of our labor as a warning to the prospective teachers. If you get a job you will be required to teach mathematics (algebra and geometry), tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade (英语), a little bit of general science, andably general science). In your spare time you will be expected to coach basketball, track, and squire a troop of Boy Scouts.
Your magnificent salary for this small effort will be about $85—unless you want to do the junior work, which they will raise the ratio to $86.

Car Crash Injury Fatal To Hutchinson Woman
Mrs. Edna Puckett, 57, of Hutchinson, died route to the hospital last night after being taken from an automobile that had collided four miles south of Lawrence on highway 59 with a car driven by Mr. K. E. Butler, 46, of 1521 New Hampshire street.
Butler was reported to be improving favorably, although he was suffering from cuts and bruises on the face and body. Claude Puckett, 60, driver of the Hutchinson car, received a few minor lacerations on the face. Neither man had completely recovered from the shock. Butler was driving north and Puckett was headed south when the two cars crashed head-on. Both cars were completely demolished. Apparently there was no witness to the accident.
Mrs. Puckett's body was taken to Funk's Mortuary.
Present Senior Recital
Orene Yowell, Pianist.
Gives Concert Before
Large Audience
The first of the season's senior recitals was ushered in Monday evening by Orene Yowell, fa38, with a program of piano selections presented in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall.
Miss Yowell, after considerable piano study under Easher Shaw Gibbon of Kansas City, came to the University in 1935, taking up the degree course in public school music but carrying on her piano work under Miss Ruth Orcutt of the School of Fine Arts faculty as a music teacher. Last year she earned her bachelor of musical education degree, returning this year to complete her bachelor of music degree in piano.
Brilliant Duet Performance
During her three years at the University Miss Yowell has been a leader in musical activities, appearing frequently in solo work as well as demonstrating on numerous occasions talent as accompanist.
Opening with the sombre "A minor Prelude and Fugue" by Mendelssohn, she moved into the Schubert "Bantasia in C major, Op. 25," a work not frequently heard today. She later wrote that effect was held of the Adagio movement. A light and rather modern smaller number from Sibelius, "The Birch," Op. 75, No. 4, and the melodious "Evening Harmonies." No, XI, from Liszt's "Transiental Etudes," made up the next group. To close the proseional music, Miss Orcutt, at the second piano, gave a brilliant performance of the difficult "Burleske" by Richard Straus.
Pleases Large Audience
Following each number Miss Yowell was enthusiastically applauded by the large audience and received numerous bouquets and gifts. The members of Mu Phi Epison musical sorority, of which Miss Yowell is president, attended in a group of four. And friends of the young artist from out of town were present for the recital.
The next senior recital in the series will take place in the same hall next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock when Mary Jane Bruce, fa38, pianist from the studio of Prof. Carl Preyer, will appear in a solo recital
Solons Adjourn Special Session
Topeka, March 1. — (UP) The special session legislature adjourned today at 3:45 o'clock after enacting legislation providing approximately $2,000,000 more sales tax revenue for distressed counties and vesting in them the authority to use the additional funds for relief purposes.
The session convened last Feb. 7. Gov. Walter A. Huxman, whose suggested program of pouring additional revenue into the state social welfare fund was ignored by the Republican-controlled houses, said he would sign bills embodying new emergency program "if I decide that it will be an improvement over the present law.
Although adjournment was scheduled for noon today, belated agreements by conference committees on clarifying amendments to social welfare law and a driver's license law made it impossible.
"But if I decide it is not, then I shall veto the bills," he added.
Texas Debate Team Wins Over Kansas
Ineshowner Tells of Red Scare Which Occurred On University of Texas Campus
The University of Texas debaters, Gerdes Idenhower and J. W. Neal defeated John Lister, c38; and Paul Koch last night in a two to one decision.
The judges for the debate, which was on the question of "compulsory arbitration by the National Relations Board in industrial disputes," were J. B. Wilson, local attorney; W. R. H. Hill, school district board; and the Rev. H. Lee Jones, pastor of the Unitarian Church.
John Lintner, c'39, the first speaker for the affirmative, was introduced by Martin Maloney, chairman. The first speaker of the opposite side greeted the speaker with words: "Comrades, we salute you."
Relates 'Red' Scare at Texas
The Texas spoke on the negative side of the argument. Last year the Texas University debaters and the University players battled in a no-decision contest.
Enishover told of a red scare that had occurred at the University of Texas concerning a liberal professor. The professor was a duly accused by the state legislature and questioned. Said Enishover: "He was asked: Do you believe in private property?"
" 'Yes,' said the professor.
"It's according to what you mean by communist."
Texans Hold Advantage
"The legislature could arrive at no conclusion as to what they meant by communist and that is what I want to ask my opponents, what do they mean by compulsory arbitration?" questioned Isenhower.
The Texas debaters were completely impregnable to the Kansas tack while they struck at their opponents with apparent gas and propane.
Following the debate last night
Isenhover and Neal left for Iowa
City, where they will compete
in the University of Iowa invitation
debating tournament. March 3, 4,
and 5.
The debates closed a series of forensic events that have been presented for the past month by Prof. John H. Kernan of the department of speech.

Last year the church was unable to accommodate the crowd.

Arabian Filly
Likes Things,
Three Being Beer
Snowball is a pure white Arabiai
filly owned by George G. Wanish
Canterland business man.
Cortland, N. Y.-(UP)-This is the story of Snowball and her sever passions.
1. A glass of beer
3. Hay.
5. Men's neckties (on the hoof).
6. A second glass of beer.
4. Sugar lumps.
An indulgent owner grants six of Snowball's wishes, but the seventh is refused because the 2-year-old filly may forget she's a lady.
Snowball likes beer better than oats and hay. She can quack a bucket of suds with the flick of an eyelash, and licks the foam from her upper lip with relish. She'll grasp a glass of beer in her teeth and gulp down patients with a loss of her head, shutting her eyes as the breeze goes down.
7. Another beer.
Snowball like sugar, will nibble at tobacco and will even make a grab for a necktie if it's bright enough.
Dyche Museum To Have Heat Work on Permanent Remodeling Will Begin Monday
Installation of temporary heating equipment in Dyshe museum was begun yesterday. Next Monday work on the permanent remodeling will begin, and the building will be ready for occupation about the middle of
Because of limited funds available, finishing of the workshops and classrooms has been omitted. The halls and stairways will be competely finished, and cases for the exhibits will be put in. Electrical equipment will not be installed until more money is obtained.
Next week will be the first time for six years the building has been heated. The temporary arrangement for heating will enable completion of two months of the month, two months earlier than the contracts originally called for.
After the building is complete the assembling of exhibits will take at least two years, said Dr. H.H.Lane. Curator. Although all the specimens and other exhibits are stored on the Campus, all the parts must be reassembled carefully in the places they are to occupy.
George Wood, ph, will speak on "The Open Door for Pharmacists" and James Robinson, ph, will speak about Customers to Habit Buying."

The property of Mrs. Jacqueline Genry, Jiggs had been in motion pictures two or three years, in recent months appearing exclusively with Dorothy Lamour. Miss Lamour was making jungle pictures (usually on the desert) and Jiggs added to the atmosphere.
Doctors Discuss Bone Tumors
This disease was chosen for discussion because of a recent case in the study body, one of two in the past five years.
Jiggs had led a civilized life in every particular except one. He fled outdoors and this fact led to his demise. He caught several days ago, and the end came quickly once uneumonia developed.
Osteogenic sarcoma, from the standpoints of the orthopedic surgeon, the pathologist and the radiologist, was discussed by Dr. C. B Francisco, Kansas City; Dr. H. R Wahl, Kansas City; and Dr. Galer M. Tice, Kansas City. General discussion followed.

Cunningham To Run Here Again
Kansas Miler May Take
On Don Lash in Two
Mile Race as Feature
Of Relays
Gleem Cunningham, former Jay-hawker miler who cracked the world's indoor record in the 1500-meter run last Saturday night, will have her appearance on IU of Kansas track this spring in Kansas Relays.
Cunningham, Coach H. W. Hargiss most shining pupil, says in a letter to his former coach, that he will be on hand to match strides with any-one selected by the Relays committee. The popular Kansan is making an effort to bring Don Lash back as his opponent in a two-mile race, which would take the place of the usual mile feature.
This war horse of many indoor and outdoor campaigns says that he never before felt better. He confidentially related to Hargiss that he believed that if he had been pushed in the Baxter mile of the New York Athletic Club games, when he missed his own world mark for the indoor mile by a fraction of the distance, he did better than 4.07. Cunningham was far out in front and breezed home with little effort.
He is completing his thesis at present for his doctor's degree and has enrolled in a couple of courses at Columbia University. In addition to his college work, Cunningham will be with the New York Curb exchange.
To Popularize Union Building
In order to provide more services and activities at the Memorial Union building for the students of the University, Henry Werner, chairman of the Union Operating Committee, last night announced appointment of a student sub-committee which will take action on new proposals.
Possibilities which are to be considered under this new plan are the organization of intramural competition in men's and women's pool, bridge, chess, checkers, and ping pong. There will be tea and coffee hours for Mortar Board, W.S.G.A. and other groups. Social parties will be offered for already organized groups such as departmental clubs.
A browsing room and book rental facilities are to be provided along with decorations, pictures and exhibits. The purpose of the committee is to help the Union to keep pace with developments in this broadened program.
The group that was chosen yesterday will be headed by James Bounda, c.39. The remainder of the committee will consist of Miss Elizabeth Dunkel, assistant professor of physical education; John Blocker, associate professor of economics; Robertia Mitchell, fa 39; Frank Warren, c.38; and Gwene Landrith, c.39. The chairman will consider at a later date the possibility of forming a permanent sub-committee to handle new projects under the direction of the Union management.
WEATHER
Prior to the organization of this group, plans from the University of Indiana and Purdue were studied by Mr. Werner and his committee to determine beneficial points which have been adopted under University conditions.
A report will be made by Bounds March 12, to a special operating committee meeting.
Kansas: Cloudy Wednesday,
colder in west portions; Thursday

Committee Analyzes All Sports
Senate To Act on Proposals at April Meeting; Chancellor Lauds Kansas Press
A lengthy analysis of the functions of the senate committee on athletics, and the senate relations with the University athletic board, was presented by the senate advisory committee at a meeting of the senate yesterday. The report was received for consideration, and made special order of business for the April meeting.
Intramurals Have No Sponsor
Chancellor E. H. Lindley presided at the opening of the meeting, and spoke briefly on recent legislative action. He told the senate that the press of Kaisa had shown a most positive picture of the University, expressing great confidence in the integrity of its instruction.
In its report, the advisory committee presented comments on the place of athletics, and more especially intramural athletics, in the sport's history and made a dozen or more recommendations under various headings.
"The intramural and physical recreation program as now existent seems to have no recognized sponsoring body," the report says. "It is at present carried on by the department of physical education, whose responsibility is obligation in the physical education curriculum in all its phases."
The report points out that the Physical Education corporation is a chartered body organized to promote intercollegiate athletics, and to encourage the physical education and development of the students, and that minutes of that organization are kept in a common file to include seven faculty members, three alumni, and two student members.
(Editor's note: The Kansas Board of Regents, by resolution adopted Jan. 3, 1937, directed that the faculty be elected by the senate, and elsewhere in the resolution provided that no coach of the major sports or employee of the department of physical education be a member of the athletic board.)
Program Is Inadequate
After a paragraph setting forth the lack of direct control by the senate over acts of the athletic board, the report turns to the "student physical recreation" program which, it says, is inadequate in comparison with those of other institutions, the result, the report says, of insufficient funds, inadequate equipment, and insufficient personnel.
The report adds that no definite information is available as to the actual number of students served by the present intramural program, adding, "It is highly probable that not more than 50 per cent of the total student body is served by such programs, and that disparity exists in respect to the proportion of students organized from families or those not so organized who are involved; also there appears to be a disparity in respect to the number of men as compared to the number of women served."
Two Plans Recommended
Continuing, the report says:
"in view of the fact that it would seem that the senate does have certain responsibilities and should be informed in regard to the activities and welfare of all students of this University who participate in inter-unit activities as well as in regard to the physical well-being of the student body as a whole, the advisory committee recommends two plans to the senate."
One plan provided for expanding the athletic board to cover all functions listed; the other would leave to the athletic board the intercollegiate affairs and name a committee to co-ordinate all athletic affairs.
To Improve Hazardous Games
Regarding the intramural sports and the physical recreation program, the senate would like to have complete data including number of students involved, by sexes, schedules of games, nature and adequacy of
