Oklahoma Band Concert Pleases
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1937
Bob Makovsky Directs
Symphony in Polished
Program; To Appear
In Kansas City
Boh Makovsky, director, spoke ele-
quently through the well-marshalied pieces of his Oldahoma A. & M
symphonic band, then spoke elo-
quently of his appreciation of the
band's reception here. He said,
"The visit . . . is for the purpose of
friendship, which is perhaps more important than the major subjects in our schools."
But the pleasure of the visit was at least equally shared by those who heard the symphonic renditions of the band. The outstanding feature is that each piece was true symphony of the numbers in the absence of violin, viola and cello.
By Morris Thompson
Two bass violins and a harp composed the only strings in the band Yet, the highly-trained and masterfully utilized clarinet section left nothing wanting in symphonic presentation.
Brickbats to the very few who cut themselves short of enjoyment by leaving before the concert was over
**Bouquets** should go to the conductor, both for his unusual command of his group of artists and for his sincere address to the audience. Add bouquets to Willard Johnson, tuba solort, who made his massive instrument speak with verse of "Beezleah, Air Varie."
The band played, "Senior Marsh," by Mr. Makowsky, as a special number, and the Kanaa "Alma Mater," by Alfonso Borges, as "Belford" by Alford as encore numbers.
The band is traveling by bus, and will leave here in the morning to attend the American Royal live stock show in Kansas City, where it will appear in connection with Oklahoma exhibits.

June Umlm claims that Barney Old field had better watch his stuff and she can't get over bragging about driving from Hutchinson to Lawrence in four hours but she can't tell the story with the whole "kick" in it. It seems that she went out Ouitaus so fast that the other drivers scattered in all directions, causing a traffic jam that lasted for fifteen minutes. It was just jail for that she still made it to Lawerence in this phinemal time.
Selom Hensler, AD. Pie vice-prey, has definitely decided that she's wasted three years of her life after watching Louie Ward administer oculator therapy to his bim but that he wouldn't be on the winning side in the Kansas-Iowa tilt. Hensler was invited to get in line, but declined
Stock Market Prices Soar After Drop Tuesday
Continued on page 2
New York, Oct. 20—(UP)—Buyers went into the stock market today, backing their confidence with millions of dollars, and sent prices soaring from $1 to more than $10 a share.
It was an orderly and persistent advance in contrast to the wild day on Tuesday. Social movement display changes and the lifted bond markets.
First Play Monday Night 'Beggar on Horseback' To Be Kansas Players Opening Production
The first performance of "Beggar on Horseback," the season's opening by the Kansas Players, will be given today night at 8:23 in Fraser theater.
The revolving stage being used in the production is completed and has been fitted with block and tackle for turning. Although it will carry as much as 1,500 pounds of scenery in a few of the 12 scenes, experiments have shown that the stage is more than stable enough to carry the load and still turn smoothly. It holds up well and does not pin in the center, which holds the stage in place while it turns on rubber-tired casters.
Four Men for Lights
Iden Long, in charge of lighting effects, has been training a crew of three men to handle the spotlights while he takes charge of the main switchboard. Some of the effects are unusual equipment and planning.
Mrs. Allen Crafton, wife of Prof. Allen Crafton of the speech department, has charge of costuming and dressing for the dress rehearsal Sunday. Her job consists of getting costumes for everything from court dress for the Prince and Princess of Xandu to tails and all—for 12 butlers.
Tickets on Sale
Reserve tickets for "Beggar on Horseback" go one sale, and will be available for exchange after 9 o'clock in the morning at office in Green ball Faculty and Lawrence people who have purchased the special season tickets and students having activity book tickets may exchange them for reserved tickets.
The office, in the basement of Green hall, will be open from 9 o'clock until noon, and from 1 o'clock until 4 o'clock today and Friday, and from Monday until Thursday next week.
Officials To Make Plans For Homecoming Game
W. L. Butler, '15, president of the Kansas City, Mo., KU. Club, and railroad representatives will arrive at the University to make arrangements for the crowds coming to Kansas City for the Homecoming game.
Officials of the University with whom they will confer include Glen Charleton, president of the Kansas Relays Club, Gwin Henry, director of athletics; Ad Lindsey, head football coach; and Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association.
Men Need Gals For Tau Sigma's Dancing Sessions
It was a record enrollment when 110 students, nearly all men, attended the first meeting of Tau Sigma's ballroom dancing classes in Robinson gymnasium. But what's a record line to do when the women don't come to do and give it a break?
No spectators are allowed—anyone who comes to the classes must do or die—and if the men have to "be led" all the time, they are likely to forget the hold, or something, when they try to do the leading.
The next class will be held Tuesday, Oct. 26, at 7 p.m. in the Memorial Union ballroom. All meetings hereafter will be held there. It is hoped that the change of surroundings or the statement (consider the statement made) that all students will draw the feminine lights from beneath their bushels for the ensuing meetings.
At the first meeting, the class progressed to the dance walk. Tuesday evening, the fundamental fox-trot steps will be taken up.
Officers Hope For $1,000 Reward Fund
Will Circularize Country
In Seeking Information
Leading Toward Finding
Of Kelly Slayer
Officers of Douglas and Shawnee counties and the superintendent of the Kansas Highway Patrol yesterday expressed the hope that a goal set by the agency would be served as the reward offered for the capture of the Russell Kelly slayer.
If the $1,000 reward can be raised, circularists will be printed and sent to every town in the state and elsewhere in an attempt to find any information which will lead to the apprehension of the killer who fatally beat the student last month on a road near Stull.
Yesterday the total amount of money in the fund, actually donated and piedged, was $877.89, and a sum of $102.11 is now required to make
The contribution boxes placed in various buildings about the Hill and sponsored by the Daily Kansan were opened yesterday for the second time and yielded a sum of $4.85. When opened Saturday for the first time, the contribution total of $12.55 contributed by students. At the present time, $0.45 has been given by faculty members and Monday the Men's Pan-Hellenic council gave $77.30. The University administration has sent letters to all officials and students, who subscribe to the fund and 13 repell have been received to the letters.

Journal-World Contributes
Sheriff Fred Vogler of Douglas county, Sheriff Roy Boat of Shawnee county, and Col. Jack B. Jenkins of the State Highway Patrol said yesterday that they would like to see the fund completed very soon so that work of circularizing the country may begin.
The larger part of the money in the fund at present has come from Topeka. The state of Kansas gave $900; Lawrence McTurpan, Indianapolis,pd, a cousin of Mrs. Kelly, gave $190; two Teal City citizens gave $600; two Teal City workers Standard Oil company office in Topeka, where Kelly's father works contributed $25, making a total of $723 at Topeka.

Italy Offers Co-operation Even Fascist Diplomats Surprised by Il Duce's Conciliatory Move.
London, Oct. 29—(UP) —Premier Benoît Mussolini, running up against a dangerous Franco-British threat, suddenly dropped his defiant attitude tonight and agreed to collaborate in a plan to withdraw his Fascist black-shirts and other foreign "volunteers" from Spain.
11 Duee's conciliatory gesture, which came as a surprise even to Italian diplomats, held out hope of solving a three-way depleck within the non-intervention committee and the inter-commission crammed with possibilities of war.
The b. e-intervention delegates, quick to seize upon Italy's consent to sending a "volunteer committee" to Spain at once, agreed that it constituted a substantial "degree of progress", and asked that immediate steps be taken to put the proposals into operation.
Italy and Germany announced that they had withdrawn their objections to Franco-British proposals, whereby belligerent rights would be withheld from both the Spanish faction until the end of volunteers had been carried out.

Aim Given In Petition
The money, if granted, will be used in the promotion of intramural activities and an enlarged free-play program to be built up over a period of several years. The petition calls for a similar appropriation, though possibly no larger, every year in the future.
Am Given in Petition
The aim of the plan as set forth in the petition follows:
"It is an undisputed fact that a larger percentage of students on the Campus participate in intramural sports than any other activity. These intramural sports are a spontaneous type of activity which provides recreation and play for the participants after the school day is over. They provide a diversion which is most beneficial to the student. Revenues from this activity increase in the interest for play facilities and at the present time we are faced with a situation which should not be overlooked.
"The student body is interested in intramural activities—as much as in plays, debates, lectures, concerts, and the like. Every year, we pay a sum of money for an activity ticket. The proceeds for this ticket are spent on carrying on these debates, lectures, etc. And we who have an interest in intramural activities, get none of the money that we pay to carry on the activities which we engage in every day.
To Use Reserve Fund
"In recent meetings, a group of students representing well over 700 new men students and decided to put forth a definite program—to build up the proper facilities on the Hill for play. Realizing that we could not build up these facilities in one year—never five—we decided to attempt to build the foundation for an efficient program.
"The start we advocate will not cut in on the present lecture and concert courses. It will not deprive any organization of any funds which it now receives from the activity ticket. Instead it will advocate an appropriation from the reserve fund which has been built up in the past years from the proceeds of the activity ticket Inasmuch as this is valuable to the present student body has provided—has no evidence use and is money that belongs to us, feel that it could be spent for no better use than to provide us with play facilities in which we are interested."
Improvements To Be Made
Improvements To Be Realizing that we cannot expect to make the same demand upon the reserve fund every year, we look upon this as an emergency measure for the present year.
"We ask for this appropriation for better play facilities for over 80 per cent of the student body who are now participating in some of these activities. We feel that if we left behind us a start for a better system of intramural sports and free play facilities, we need to incentive for future student bodies to build onto this program and make it one of the very best."
Some of the improvements which the program calls for as set forth in the petition are: Concrete tennis courts; handball courts; permission backstops for playground base-ball diamonds; sanding the beach and improving Potter lake for swimming; grading and leveling the entire intramural field; and general improvement of the tennis courts.
To Start Immediately
The petition blames the poor condition of the intramural field for the major part of the injuries caused to student players and points out that the proposed improvement will cut the number of injuries due to these defects.
The petition will be submitted to the two student governing bodies for immediate action. If the plan is ap-
