PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 12. 1937 Comment What Are We-- Men or Monsters? Paint on "Unele Jimmy" Green . . . Paint on the Kansas State campus . . . rumored extensive damage to Lincoln hostelries . . . $78 worth of damage to a local theater. . . It reads like the record of an invading army or a group of gorillas at large. But strangely enough, most of it can be traced to the student body of the University or to persons operating under those colors. The latest, of course, is the visit to the Kansas State campus with the ensuing difficulties, involving quite an expense to the University and possible serious penalties for those participating. Some mellowing effect might be cast on the case by the consideration that student enthusiasm has long been repressed by the Kansas athletic fortunes, but that does not give respectability to vandalism and rowdyism. Furthermore, the student body is bound by action of the Men's Student Council in a concoction with the governing body at Kansas State to refrain from all such depreditions. The treaty binds the council to severe action against the offenders. Out of respect for the council, the University, and for themselves as individuals, students must refrain from such assinine escapades. Also among the recent blots on the department record of the student body is the episode in which a local theater was damaged to the extent of $78 while offering a free show to students in celebration of the tie with Nebraska. It is possible that insurance will cover the losses. However, if it does not, the money will have to come from University sources. In spite of this the downtown show has offered another free show if the Jayhawks beat Kansas State. The Men's Student Council, facing a possible damage bill for the last free show, has appealed to the Ku Ku's, the "K" men and to the Lawrence police force for aid in keeping the crowd within bounds. It would seems, however, that students in the state University would prefer to be restrained by their own conception of such a student's proper conduct, their own respect for property, and, to a slight degree, by the possibility that free shows and rally opportunities will not long be offered if individual and collective actions continue to be as they have been. The Women Need A New Gymnasium Back in the days when calisthenics and dumbbells were the only physical education opportunities open to women, Robinson gymnasium was large enough. Classes of 80 or 90 could be accommodated easily. But today, with specialized elective courses offering a greater variety of subjects, classes are small and require more space. Intramural activity, which have grown from four teams in 1920 to 16 or 18 in 1937, need still more room. Games must now be played at night because desirable daytime hours are taken. The swimming pool is shared by men and women. The men's varsity of course takes precedence, so the Quack Club meets at night with great inconvenience to its members. For these reasons, the women are asking for a new women's gymnasium. If only indoor space were equal to the excellent equipment and outdoor layout, the situation would be ideal. Winter activities are curtailed because of this lack in indoor facilities. The new women's gymnasium would have adequate rest rooms for lounging and studying. There would be recreation rooms for bowling and ping pong. A dance studio hung with curtains and radiating the correct atmosphere, bocker space to take the place of the baskets now in use, and enough showers to eliminate waiting; these are the requirements. Will they get them? Despicable or Heroic, MacDonald Was Great "James Ramsey ("Judas Iscariot") MacDonald, the creator and destroyer of the labor party, despicable or heroic as you choose, a man of Olympian or Stygian loneliness. .." This is the description with which John Gunner starts his chapter on the great Englishman. In contrast there is the story about MacDonald's crossing the Atlantic to visit this country. The day before landing he wired the foreign office in England to find out what to wear when he disembarked from the liner to meet the critical eyes of America. The foreign office wired back that he should not wear leather leggings, that a top hat and morning coat would serve the occasion. From these two extremes you may deduce the fact that MacDonald was truly a great man to be both so big and so helpless. In any light you look at him he was great. His rise in public and private life parallels that of our greatest self-made Americans. He was born in poverty, quit school at 14 to earn a living for himself and dependents. He was a paistic, a liar, a politician, a social climber, and a diplomat. He hated the Nazi movement because Hitler had executed two beautiful women spies. He was lonely after the death of his wife and in his later years thought mostly of his own comfort and convenience, much to the consternation of the governmental officials. He retired from public life after the Golden Jubilee of the ruling family. His retirement came partly because of ill health and a most thorough defeat at the hands of English voters. An asset to the world, a hangover in England, was this very human man who died at the age of 71. The women who introduced Wally to Simpson will soon become Simpson's wife. . . Gertrude is now wondering who introduced her to Edward. . . Campus Opinion Page the S.P.C.A. The manifestations of school spirit at KU, have been becoming less barbarous the last few years. The introduction of animal acts into Hobe Day is an exception to this trend. It is to be hoped that it is merely a rumor that some of the mice entered into the race last year were in jetted with adrenaline to make them more excitable i.e. they could go faster than the rumor that after the duck race students attempted b throwing stones to drive hose fowl remaining in th pond, to shore. The missiles did not always omit wounding the birds. It was hit during the writer's brief stay upon the scene. It was his privilege to witness the highly eligible specie of a duck paddling feely through the water while jumping from one neckade a brilliant stride across its white feathers. Cruelty to animals is not a very civilized form of behavior that us eliminate in our programs or the student body.

In the interpretation of the march by the conductor and his instrumentation, the members of the percussion, tympani, and string ensemble went on in being chosen to occupy chairs in an orchestra of this type. an overture to "The Meisteringers of Nurnberg," by Wagner, was the second part of the program. The solo work which was outstanding in the woodwind section, gave conclusive evidence of fine technique on this part and made the more touch of the conductor's baton, it seemed that a well interpreted crescendo or diminutive resulted in which the strings took an important part. In the presentation of this overture the group of artists were divided into sections of melody. At one point, in the middle section, as many as five tunes are noticeable simultaneously. The first violins announced the familiar Prize Song theme about a third through the work. The woodwinds followed with a distinct development of the mocking paradox of the Meisteringers' theme. J.

QUENTIN BROWN Business Staff In presenting the second fall concert in 32 years the University Symphony orchestra under the direction of Karl Kuehrkeer kept the members of its audience under a musical spell throughout the entire concert which was presented last night in Hoch auditorium. Distributor of Collegiate Digest Russell Wiley, director of the University band, said in an interview after the concert last night that the orchestra was at its best throughout Entered as second-class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan. the entirety of the program presented. He worked on to say that the orchestra was to be recommended for its saxophone work this early in the fall, and that only by different work and co-operation could the task be achieved in such a short period of rehearsal. Presentation Outstanding BUSINESS MANAGER Carroll Nichols, fa29, and Homer Dodee Caine, fa39, violins, headed the string orchestra in its conception of Bach's "Alarne Flute from concerto" in *D-minor* for Two violins and Stringed Orchestra. The pitch and tone prevail in the work were unassumped in any undergraduate work portrayed for some time here at the University. The artistry became more complex as the role of a great organ with the conductor executing the staff and animals with great ease and precision. The execution and tone quality of the two men were outstanding in the presentation of Bach's work. Liat's "Second Hospitian Phantasy" gave many sessions an opportunity to show their talent, and every section called upon by the conductor, Karl Koretzstein, rose to the occasion without failure. Several short codices of the charioted, Zeichnoth Pewter, celtic, dissected and fine woodcut, were used in other sections. Other pieces outstanding in this part of the program were violin section, cello and bass section, and the French horn. Tschalkowsky's Last Work After a short interval, the audience once again recalled its attentive spirit and received Technikowsky's stilt symphony "Patience." At points throughout the presentation of this work, it is clear in which the orchestra took several grand passes, it would have been possible to have band a pin drop in the tumb-like silence. This sixth symphony, in the manner in which, was breathtaking in its variation. There the 25 minute it was, was even more dramatic. It evident that the entire orchestra was at all times holding something in reserve, and the audience was very much aware of the fact. At times, when the orchestra gave up bit by bit parts of its reserve, the audience seemed to be surprised at the extra amount of ability, execution mellowness, and tone displayed throughout the symphony. Sections doing outstanding work in this, the last of works presented, included: bassoon, percussion, first violin, oboe, clarinet, flutes, clooses, and string basses. Shaws Find Brothers Meeting Brothers In Barber Chairs Way back in 1961 "Phog" Allen go to shave. Nothing so unusual about the K.U. basketball coach getting a shave, that early in life. But it happened that on that day in 1901, Hiller also got a shave. Allen, his brothers of the now Dr. Forrest C. Allen, also not shaves. To make it more uncommon, another set of four brothers, Herbert, Edgar, the mayor, were the barriers who showed up in the brothers. It happened in Independence, Mo., where the four major brothers were operating a barrier The "Believe It or Not" incident came to light recently when a reporter interviewed Herbert Major, now dean of barbers in Independence.
