The identity of the persistent puncher was revealed when news-hawks discovered that a letter to members of the senior class, urging association membership and signed letters, was the work of the short association.
Good ring generalism was indicated by the decision to go into the ring incomitata, as the adverse decision last week was attributed to
Fight fans suspected senior class heads of substituting for the weakened Association when the comeback bid appeared on class stationery. Investigation disclosed that expense of the letter were borne by the Association, weaving out of its corne well covered up.
Opinion conceded the Marvel a good chance of getting at least a draw in the subscription fight if he were avoided and rabbit punches were avoided.

Convocation Hears Ganz
Well Known Musician Talks on Appreciation Of "Music Today"
"To fully enjoy the art-work in music we must have two persons—the composer, who brings the music to life, and the interpreter, who must be educated to appreciate it," Rudolph Ganz, internationally known musician, said at the all-University convocation in the Auditorium yesterday morning when speaking on "Music Today."
"Today the United States has gone forward in a progressive way in educating of interpreters, the people are now asking for music. The musical background of American students is now so high that the audience needs to hear more than a musical background to make an impression," Ganz commented.
Transformation takes Place
Discussing the transformation taking place in the musical field today, Ganz said that modern music has had a severe set-back. Arts do not flourish in Germany today, and even in America all composers of talent are forced to Hollywood for contracts to compose a few light airy tones and swing music. He further stressed the futility of trying to create a new art without using the old one.
Transformation Takes Place
Disclosing the disparity in their economic backgrounds, Ganz said that, "When we examine the records of the great musical artists, they have come, almost without exception, from humble homes. Money can purchase comfort but not experience in life."
Concluding his speech with a discussion of the relative qualities of music, Ganz told his audience "Keep your eyes open, keep your ears open, and keep your mind open. What may today be beautiful to tomorrow."
Wilkins Sings Solo
Immediately preceding Mr. Gand's speech, Prof. Joseph Wilkins of the department of voice sang "La Danza" (Rossini) with an introductory accompaniment on the piano by Mrs. J. O'Connor and a enthusiastic applause from the audience, replaced a cello solo to have been played by Philipp Abbas.
Chancellor Lindley presided at the convolution. The opening selection of the program was "Marche Militaire Francieuse" (from "Algerian Suite") by St. Saens) by the University band. The audience of approximately 2,000 then joined in the first verse of "America" led by Dean Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts and accompanied by the University band with Criss Simpson at the organ.
At the conclusion of Mr. Gant's speech, Dean Swarthout led the audience in the first verse of "Crime and the Blue" accompanied by the band, followed by the "Rock University Townley, University cheerleader."
Hollywood, May 5—(UP)—Prospect of a quick settlement of the motion picture strike faded tonight when William Leissing, strike chief-owner of the film studio, "not even interested" in a peace proposal film producers had accepted.

Evidence was uncovered that pre-Civil War men as well as present-day men ate their morning repast of hot cakes. A cast-iron griddle, which probably dates back to the stormy years preceding the war of secession, was uncovered in the excavations near Miller hall.
Workmen, while digging east of the latest HILL addition, discovered the griddle and turned it over to C. G. B. its dependant of buildings and grounds.

Young Metropolitan Star Sing Ten Encores To Enthusiastic Crowd In Auditorium
The Metropolitan Opera Association's rising new star from the West, Josephine Antoine, captivated a responsive audience last evening in the University Auditorium. In her varied program of operatic, secular, and concert selections, Miss Antoine displayed the virtuosity and craftsmanship which won for her the prominent place on the Metropolitan's roll of artists which she now holds. Miss Antoine is the first American coloratura to appear with that organization in the United States, and one of the feature events of the Music Week Festival being held on Mt Orand now.
The possessor of a clear, rich coloratura voice, she used it with rare precision and feeling. Her low scales were mellow and comparatively even, and her high register and trills were bell-like in quality, although occasionally forced. She gave careful readings, full of warmth and color and the clarity of her diction was extremely unusual, to say the least.
Miss Antoine possesses a rare charm and grace which won her audience from the start. The appreciative applause of her listeners was rewarded with a total of ten encores. The favorite of the audience was one of the encores, late in the program, entitled "A Wife's Song."
Edward Harris, her accompanist,
played three selections of Claude
Debussy for his part of the program,
and two encounters, one of which was
his own "Galloping Music Box,"
played entirely in the treble clef.
Miss Antoine also included one of
his compositions in her last group,
entitled "It Was a Lover and His
Lass."
Among the other favorites of the audience, the best behaved one of the season, were "Chanson de Marie Antonette," "Uno Vue Pope Foe Po" and "Scrivile, Gries, Eventide" and "to a Messenger" by Frank La Forge.
The University Auditorium was fairly well filled for the program, with practically everyone in their seats before the first group was presented. Many comments were heard after the program, and it seemed to be the general opinion that the 22-year-old Metropolitan prima domna had exceeded every expectation and had presented a program which pleased all who were privileged to attend.
Zoologists To Spend Six Weeks in California
Dr. W. J. Baugmatter, professor of zoology, will conduct a party of students and teachers, starting June 14 by automobile, to the Pacific coast for the purpose of studying marine life.
The group will spend six weeks at Laguna Beach, Calif., where the seaside laboratories of Pomona College are located. While there any member of the party may earn a college or graduate or graduate work which he may apply on a degree at the University.
Field trips along the beach will comprise a major part of the summer's work. Courses to be offered, taught by Doctor Baumgartner and Dr. W. A. Hilton, are those in genetics, human biology, and research work.
While driving to California, vii the southern route, the group plan to stop at the Carlsbad Caverns, the Grand Canyon, and possibly Rosevelt veltam. Side trips will also include inspections of petrified forests and cliff dwellings along the way.
At Pomona College, located 50 miles south of Los Angeles, sea life will be studied especially. Biology studies and invertebrates will be studied.
While at Laguna Beach, many places of interest to biologists will be a part of the summer's activities. Possible jaunts to La Lola Biological station, Scris Institute at Pasadena, Catalina Islands, and the Zoological Park in San Diego are included in the plans.
An estimate of the total cost of the trip is $140. Accommodations for the limited number to be included in the group may be made through Professor Baumgartner, not later than May 15.

The Windsors Will Travel
Duke Expects to Resume Roe of "Ambassador or Good Will" for Empire
NUMBER 148
Monts, France, May 5—(UP) –The Duke of Windsor will resume his world travels as the British Empire's "good will ambassador" after his marriage to Mrs. Willis Warfield from Copenhagen today at the Chateau de Cande.
After a journey at the "honeymoon cottage" in one of Europe's most romantic spots, Edward and his American-born duchess—the woman he sought to make his queen—probably will visit the United States. Mr. Windsor has spent many thoroughly Windsor's intention to play a role in British public life.
He intends to accompany him on his travels, and is anxious to take him back to the United States to be introduced to Washington and Baltimore.
Edward, it was said, will allow a year to elapse before he emerges again as the empire's "ambassador of good will" and will not return to England until his brother and sister-in-law - King George VI and Queen Elizabeth - thoroughly entrenched themselves in the hearts of the British people.
Court Plan Not An Election Issue 'Wait for F.D.R. to Ert' Will Be Party Strategy For Campaign
Washington, May 5.—(UP)—Republican leaders have declined to make President Roosevelt's supreme court reorganization plan one of the main issues of the congressional election's campaign next year if it fails to be enacted stantly as proposed by the White House, it was learned tonight.
While congress and the capital buzzed with speculation over the future of the Republican party, its chiefs opened a struggle over a wide front destined to end only after the ballots are counted in the forthcoming congressional elections. Already more than $100,000 has been clipped from the party's $800,000 deficit through small contributions.
Republican leaders explained tonight that the strategy agreed upon to fight the second new deal after Governor Allen Landon's crushing defeat. The president Rosevelt makes his first mistake before opening fire."
They said this development occurred when Mr. Roosevelt proposed his supreme court plan early in February. Fearful that the GOP would be used by the administration as what one official described was a “waste of time,” the proposal strategies agreed that the Republicans should withhold their fire until the measure reaches the floor of the two houses.
The same tactics were ordered for Mr. Roosevelt's government reorganization program. GOP leaders are depending upon a coalition block of conservative Democrats and Republicans to defeat the court bill and drastically revise the re-organization program.
Dr. R. J. Canseton attended the 78th annual meeting of the Kansas Medical Society in Topeka yesterday where he gave a brief discussion on "Progress in the Treatment of Epilepsy" and also attended the meeting. He presided at the roundtable lunchroom held at the Hotel Jayhawk.

Next Year's Jayhawker Heads Named
Pearson is Editor, Seitz Business Manager; New Policy Will Feature Use Of Pictures
The editor and business manager of the 1937-38 Jayawkwer were selected yesterday afternoon by the Jayawkwer advisory board. Robert Pearson, c'unel, was named as editor and Bill Seitz, c'38, as business manager.
The yearbook next year, according to Pearson, will feature extensive use of pictures. "It's not just more pictures," said Pearson. "Every editor within the memory of man has promised that. The magazine will be a happy combination of the best in literature and the news in pictures."
Pearson explained that the plan is to illustrate news and feature stories with pages of candid camera shots. It is, he admitted, the influence of Life. Another innovation will involve the amateur standing of the writers who contribute to the magazine. Printing costs have been high in the past because copy was late getting to the printers. Pearson plans to pay a premium for the tenth of a cent per word, for copy, thus putting the magazine in the position of an employer, able to demand that writers meet deadlines.
It was understood that Seitz recommended to the board that exemptions to Jayhawker subscriptions be made easier for students to secure. The difficulty of procuring exemption slips in the past has met with some student criticism and was a political issue in the recent M.S.C.election. The board took no action on the proposal.
Voting faculty members of the board are Prof. L. N. Flint, chairman, Dean J. H. Nelson, Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, Henry Werner, and Karl Klooz, John Chandler, c37, and Bob Kenyon, c37, last year's editor and business manager, Grace Valentine, c38, of the W.S.G.A., and Earl Dearborn, m40, of the M.S.C., are student members.
Big Geological Map Of State Is Issued
A geological map of Kansas has been completed after eight years of work and was issued yesterday by the Kansas Geological Survey. This map is the first large scale map of the state to be issued. It measures 40 by 51 inches and its scale is approximately 8 inches to one mile.
Ninety-one outcutting geologic units are shown by means of colors, patterns and lines. Drainage, towns, drainage and map lines are also shown on the map.
The map, which was published in Washington, D. C., may be obtained in several forms. The least expensive is in plain heavy paper. It may be had mounted on cloth, with protecting rollers, or in dissected form with units 4 by 9 or 8 by 10 inches. This map has made it ever to be published. Such a map will prove very valuable in the search for mineral resources of the state such as oil, gas, coal, gypsum and many others.
