Serkin Gives Splendid Performance
Russian Pianist Becomes Completely Absorbed in Music; Expresses Many Moods
The audience gathered in Hoch auditorium last night received a rare treat in hearing Rudolph Serkin Russian pianist. Completely absorbed in the music which he was producing, Mr. Serkin gave a performance which anyone who heart is unlikely to forget.
The program began with two sonatas, A-minor and C-major, by Scarlatti. The first of these was a sprightly, lifting air, which the youthful artist executed deftly and with feeling. The second was in a more quiet mood, presented with restraint and calm.
The second group was that of Bach's "Capricciopo La Potenza-anza del Sou Fratello Deltisimo", the capriccio on the departure of a friend, and then senting the coxing of friends to abandon the journey was at first softly, and then more strongly plodling. In the second part, the pianist presented the colorful vision of what he travelled the traveler in foreign countries.
Pieces Are Varied
Sadly, lamentingly, the artist brought forth the melancholy of the friends at the traveler's departure. Then, changing the mood abruptly, out smoothly, the song of the stagecoach driver, and the fast, sprightly fugue imitating the horn of the stagecoach were played.
The third selection was Beethoen's Sonata in C Major. The three variant movements were executed with color and, in the first two movements, sollemmy. The third was awaken a wiffle and was the moodiness by the artist's execution.
Pianist Gives Encore
The first selection in the last group was (Johsuman's) **"Theme on the Name 'Abe'g.'** This name represents the four notes, the last repeated, making up the theme of the piece. Starting slowly, almost tenderly, M. Karim carried the theme proceeded and with increasing feeling to its climax.
Concluding his program, Mr. Serkin left the stage, only to be recalled repeatedly by aplause from the appreciative audience. He finally re-emerged in the band as an encore number Mendelssohn's fraggle, fleeting "Rondo Capriccioo."
The final numbers in the second group were composed of selections in widely divergent moods, ranging from upbeat melancholy to wailing melancholy. The pianist, losing himself completely to the moods, executed them with an abandon that made the audience forget the music and made the success of the performance rested.
Only when Mr. Serkin had returned to the stage repeatedly after his encore did the audience stop the deafening applause with which it expressed its regard for the truly great artist which it had heard.

From all observations in the Huker capital the Kansas kiddies really quite sufficiently celebrated their half victory over the conceived Corn boys. Beverages fowled freely and local Jayhawkers stormed Hotels Lincoln and Cornhusk along with the famous "Turnpike." Bill Bright, Harwil, Wolf and others did the honors of her birthday—this one being at 3 am, in the mezanine of the Lincoln. Marguerite Myers is nursing a dislocated jaw—she was in such a talkative mood Saturday eve! Anne Reynolds had double reason to celebrate, her birthday being Saturday—we still wonder how the garden corsage she was wearing stood up after the atmosphere to which it was exposed, Ku kru Prey, Bill Bailley takes honors for playing the music he direction were slightly turned, however, and he yelled, "Let's go north" when the Jayhawkers were trying desperately for yardage to the south... suc school spirit!

Lincoln Sidelights

When the Nebraska R.O.T.C. formed a circle around the Cornshaker gridron Saturday to prevent the veryly enthusiastic Kansas supporters from mobbing the field with their arms, its efforts were almost in vain.
Five gentlemen from Kansas who were bent on paying personally their respects to the morally vicarious position and blasted a hole in the army defense through which they and a thundering korea of Kansans poured out onto the field to the hands of the Jayhawk griders.

tale of Elizabeth and Essex.
It is a historical drama of
court intrigue.
The New York Times critic said, "... freely imaginative in its use of history, clearly thought out and presented in dialogue of notable beauty.
"Elizabeth the Queen" is one of the most dramatic plays I have ever read," said Mr. Nuckles. "There nothing in the play of the light, so glowing and so powerful, was Thing Loved Love, which the Dramatic Club did last year. But I imagine the audience will like it even more, because of the better lines and dramatic situation, written by one of the greatest playwrights of our time, that the players will not only do credit to themselves but to the play."

Dr. Schwegler Speaks On 'The Meaning of War'
Dr. R. A. Schweiger, dean of the School of Education, spoke on "The Meaning of War" Sunday night at the annual American Legion union church service held in Memorial auditorium in Ottawa.
Dean Schwegler approached the question of the "why" of war from the point of view of the psychologist, pointing out that when the seeder attacks a society, that society reacts with fear. When its freedom is endangered, it reacts with wretch. When both freedom and security of a society are endangered, it reacts with a mixture of anger and wretch, which becomes hate.
Dr. Schwegel indicated the solution depends on the substitution of intelligent behavior for the instinctive behavior which governed man's primitive action. "Treaties may be scraps of paper," he continued, "but first, they become rules that rule at large, then and only will war be overcome."
The services are held each year in Ottawa with all the churches of Ottawa and the Franklin county ex-service mnn participating.
