UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXV . . Heifetz Will Give Concert Master Violinist To Present His Second Recital To University Students Tonight Jascha Heifetz will play his second concert at the University, in Hoch auditorium tonight at 8:20 o'clock. He last appeared here in 1933. Helietz is expired to arrive in Lawrence this morning and will leave by automobile after the concert for Kansas City. For his concert tonight, he will use either his Guarnierus or Stradivarius violin. In addition to these two valuable instruments, he owns several celebrated violins known to collectors and connoisseurs. At the age of three, the Russian-born artist began playing the violin. Two years later he entered the Royal School of Music at Vilna. When 8 years old he graduated from the Royal School of Music and became a pupil of Leoapel Conservatory in St. Petersburg. Within a year after he entered the conservatory, he played his first public concert. Soon after, he was solo artist with the symphony orchestra at the age of 18. Heffetz played his first New York concert in 1917. Accompanied tonight by Emanuel Bay, Heifetz will play: *Sarbandine, Gavotte and Munette* *Bach Rondo* *Mozart-Kreisler* La fille aux choix de Im* Debussy *Darlmann* *Hora Stacea* *Dinicus Introduction and Rouen* *Road-Saatra* *Transcribed by Mr. Heifetz* NUMBER 62 HAY by WIRE We don't want to kick or be unappreciative, but why can't the band throw away the funeral marches it has been playing and get a little peep into the thing? We have one of the best bands in the Midwest. Symphonic music is swell at the fall and spring concerts, but how about a few snappy matches and the noise at the basketball games? The band can go long way beyond these games. The students will certainly welcome the change Play 'em loud and forget about the echoes. The play given by the Dramatic Club is meeting favorable reception in most quarters, though some don't seem to enjoy history even when it is sugar-coated. So they invite the student east for its endearments in a difficult type of play. A little resin on the stage would have been in order Monday night to keep the players from looking like Lou Gehrig sliding into second base. The floor was too sliick. There will be tonight's concert tonight because of the concert. + + + Back in the days of James Gordon Bennett things were much different from today. To the present-day reader it may seem abused that a young woman should faint mention of her appearance, true that she did and did. Bennett started a campaign to end this false mode. A casual glance around the Campus today will convince the observer that he did a good job. Today they wear the pants. We have to admit that the skirts outfit are practical. We've often wondered how the male or of silk thread kept their legs Laughter is a funny thing. It is born of social contact. Whenever two or more persons who are somewhat alike-minded get together under agreeable circumstances they are apt to burst into laughter at any moment. When a person who is alone is heard to laugh long and heartily he is at once questioned, and if he does this frequently his sanity is suspected. Thus laughter roots itself in social conduct. We would rather attend a show when it is crowded. It is easier to laugh with a crowd. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8.1937 Ask the next person you see wearing ear muffs what station he has. Some of the answers are good. NOTICE There will be no Independent hour dance Thursday night. The nourth hour dance will be Dec. 14. The band will play Blackburn's Blackburn's band will play.

There are but a few seats on the periphery of the main floor and balcony for the two remaining performances of the Dramatic Club, tomorrow and Friday. The musical interlude between scenes has been shortened; wax on the floor of the stage, which caused several actors to slip Monday night, and had some minor changes in production and staging have been effected. After a first-night audience's reaction to the play, Director Rollau Nuckles made several changes in the production. He put his charges through another rehearsal yesterday afternoon to adopt the changes. Speaking of this, Director Nuckles said, "Just because a show has opened is no reason why work on it must stop. After getting an audience reaction there are always very definite changes to be made to improve the show. The main characters rehearsed Tuesday afternoon and I feel the extra work made for a more solid play."

Jayhawkers Run Up Score On Braves Ottawa Able To Score Only 17 Points Against Tight Defense; Kansas Talties 36 A tight defense and sporadic offense led by the veteran Fred Praille were enough to give the Kansas Jayhawks a 36 to 17 victory over the Ottawa Braves last night on the Hoch auditorium court. On the whole, the game was fast except for interruptions by the numerous substitutions, forty men seeing action for the two teams. Praile resumed his scoring stride by bagging four field goals and four free throws for a total of 12 points. Two of Praile's shots were from some distance back of the free throw circle and gave the crowd quite a thrill as they slipped through hardly touching the ring. George Gosling assisted seven points in assistance during eight minutes of play. For Ottawa, Meek led the Braves rather imputent offense with three field goals for a total of six points. Kansas opened the game at a fast pace and rang up eight points before Brenton finally got a goal field for Ottawa. At this point, both teams bogged down and there was no further scoring for a period of four minutes. Gosley got a tip-in and Morgan and Meek added goals in quick succession for Ot- After a free throw by Cestaro for the Braves, the game struck another lull until about five minutes remained in the first period. At this point, with several subs in the line-up, the Jawhaker offended him. He kick again and 10 points were wound up before the gun ended the kick. The second period was interrupted constantly by substitutions, and neither team was able to get up a consistent offense. However, after the first few minutes of play had elapsed in the second period, Ebling and Florell were put in at the forward posts, and the combination with these posts led them forwards, Schmidt scored for Praille and Johnson guards, scored to display the best passing of any combination used during the game. Among the Kansas substitutes, Ebling, Sullivan, Florell and Harp displayed good basketball. Florell did some nice passing and used his height effectively under the basket. Ebling was down but succeeded in making two baskets in the short time he was in the game. Between the halves the band entertained with several selections, one featuring Bob Hempel and his twirling of a baton with a colored flame on each end. Twelve hundred persons saw the game.

Hundreds Register for Wassermann Forty-Several Have Taken Test: Maximum of 200 Can Be Given Each Week With New Equipment One hundred students have applied for the Wassermann test at the student hospital since the equipment was first set up Monday. Of this number, 22 were taken as a test run Monday. Seventy-seven registers for the test today and blood samples were taken from 25. Those who have registered will be notified and given the test in the order of registration. Hospital authorities urged that all students register as soon as possible. With an ample number of applicants on hand the laboratory can function at its greatest efficiency. It will be possible to give a maximum of 200 tests each week. Dr. R. L. Camission, director of the health service, said that the new equipment, bought at a cost of $531, was entirely satisfactory, and that everything was running smoothly in the test. The institution of the Wassermann test in the University health service came as the result of a long campaign in accord with the national program against syphilis. Last spring a Daily Kansan poll indicated that students were 100 per cent in favor of a compulsory Wassermann test. The compulsory test, however, was turned down by the Board of Regents. The test now being given is a voluntary test and the equipment was bought from the regular funds of the University health service.

Japanese Troops May Delay Mass Assault Shanghai, Dec. 8 (Wednesday)—(UP) Japanese sources hinted today that Japanese troops were delaying a mass assault on Nanking in the belief that the Chinese troops are retreating in panic and therefore the city will fall without serious resistance. They said thousands of Chinese troops were crossing the Yangtse river in flight, blowing up munition depots as they retreated, indicating that they did not plan to defend the city. Foreign military authorities said earlier today that the Chinese forces had fight in Nanking because the magnificent buildings; there, costing millions of dollars, would be destroyed. The Japanese, however, were reported to be required to bring up supplies and heavy guns and strengthening their lines in the assault or long siege if the Chinese try to defend the capital.
