PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, FEB. 17, 1937 Comment Obligations of an Audience Sergel Rachmaninoff must have played before hundreds of varied audiences since he first laid a finger on the piano at the age of four, but it is doubtful if he ever met with greater discourtesy than was shown him Monday night at the University of Kansas. Eight-twenty, the hour announced for the concert found little more than half the people in their seats, and groups continued to stray in even after the third number. This resulted in a constant state of confusion with creaking seats and audible whispers. Rachmaninoff was not allowed to finish a piece without bursts of applaure between movements. Twice, his hands were still poised above the keyboard in readiness for the next note when he was interrupted by clapping from the audience. During the encores which this great artist was gracious enough to give, rippling notes from the piano were punctuated by the sound of banging doors. No one should be permitted to enter or leave while a performance is in progress. gress. The performance of the artist was magnificent, the performance of the audience was disgraceful and disgusting. Reforms are badly needed before the next public appearance of the latter. Moral: Patience Pays With much ado and lots of ceremony, the Kansan revisits its platform. You've seen the platform, of course? We mean, you've noticed it? Well, remember that one about Dyche museum? We're taking it out! At long last something's going to be done about it! The Governor has okayed things! There's to be a sum of money forwarded so that Dyche may be reopened. the ghosts and bats and dust will have to go And that's why we're altering our luscious little platform. Now let's see, what's next? Baseball Is Back After a five-year lapse, baseball returns to the campus in reply to the demands of the students. Many could not see why we have not had a team all along, and point out the number of good players who have come to the campus and gone without having ever been used, but the sport was not discontinued here because of the lack of material, but rather because of a complete lack of interest on the part of the students. Now that the officials have reconsidered and have given the students what they demand, it is up to the students to go out and support the team. The last year in which the University participated in Big Six baseball, the team played their home games before stands almost devoid of patrons. While it does not cost as much to finance baseball as it does football, it is a rather expensive sport. Since it is costly, the University officials decided that such a lack of interest justified their discontinuing the game. Quiz for Drivers Tis with our judgments as our watches, none go just alike, yet each believes his own. —Pope, Essay on Criticism. Thus is headed a series of questions asked by an insurance company, which all of us who drive cars might sit down with a pencil and sheet of paper to answer: 1. How much more than forty miles an hour does a sign, "20 Mile Speed Limit" mean? 2. Give two meanings of "Go Slow—School Ahead," other than step on the gas and let her out a little more. II 3. Upon encountering a "Slow Down to 25 Miles Per Hour" sign, how much more than sixty miles an hour do you regard as permissible? 1. What are brakes for and do you consider a born just as good? 2. What is the meaning of the words "No Parking," and if so, where? 3. Is there any difference between a sign reading "FULL STOP" and reading "NO SPEED LIMIT?" 4. If you are a pedestrian, define the difference, if any, between an automobile driver and an hssassin. The Kansan Platform 4. An adequate building program, including: a. Construction of a medical science building. 1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program. 2. Betterment of student working conditions. 3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore. 3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore. b. Addition to the stacks of the library. 5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries. 5. If you are a driver of an automobile define the difference, if any, between a pedestrian and an insect. 6. What is the difference between a speedometer and a clock, and which do you look at to ascertain how fast you are driving? III Which Is Proner: "The collision was all my fault," or "Where the hell did you learn to drive an auto?" But in all seriousness, says the insurance company, why not give the other fellow the "brakes" and resolve to make 1937 an accidentless year? Why not? Let's all do our part?—Alton Democrat. Kansas Laws Now the issue will probably be tied up in the courts until too late to do anything about the amendment. On the statute books of our state and of others are many obsolete and contradictory laws. Not often is the effect so dramatic and serious as the occasion at hand. This blocking of important legislation should be a lesson in the necessity of cleaning up our records. Campus Opinion Attention Fine Arts Faculty Editor Daily Kangan Editor Daily Kansan A few weeks ago my free-hand drawing teacher (?) affixed his initials to what I supposed was my free-hand lettering. We didn't do the work, it made no unfavorable comment so I had every right to believe I had not the requirement. But until enrollment time came and the teacher told us that my work was not up to "standard." The worst of it is that there is no "standard" for the student's work. Then we went through copy from our text (which absolutely must be of the latest edition) and, after two hours' work, we were told that we could just wear regular clothes proper fashion. We were then told to use our eye and make the letters so they looked good to us. Of course that makes a delightful guessing game out of our life. Our make-up classes are even worse. One teacher said, "Look at your plate and see what is strong with you. Try to make it more robust and more helpful than that. Besides how can a dumb freshman see an difficulty that the teacher has to explain to him? If the teacher considers himself unexcuseable, I am sure the tax payer would like to have his salary for spend on these classes." it is interesting to note that after one semester of drawing I was able to locate every lesson in my book. My students all know how to support some drawing teacher. Our numerous “impressions” and changes in problems for descriptive geometry is a pure example of the book selling successes. University students thousands of dollars each year. Despite these difficulties I enjoy my drawing and boope that soon I will no longer be It's Still a Long Story Editor: Daily Keesar It is unfortunate that the earnest attempt at clarification of the editorial stand questioned by J. B. Lawrence should have been based upon the fact that the attempt actually touched on the issue raised. It is also deplorable that a childish attempt to beittile Mr. Lawrence could have been considered a reply to his own. The definition of liberalism upon which the attempted elucidation was based was, apparently, in the political armament and the welfare of the individual beestyle that of the state. If this defines the term correctly it is very comforting to the individual and he should be concerned at the idea of labor amendments is indeed the true liberal he considers himself, and is liberal in virtue of his concern with the labor movement-mongers as the New Republic and the Nation have sometimes darkly hinted that individual well-being is generally subordinated to that of the individual.

Eastwood Art On Annual Display In Spooner-Thayer The annual exhibition of paintings by Professor Raymond Eastwood of the School of Fine Arts, and one of the midwest's leading painters, is now on display at Spooner-Thayer Museum. Mr. Eastwood spends his vacations at Provincetown, the picturequeer center of the Cape Cod country on the Massachusetts, and a baker in New Hampshire, excelses and life studies among the sand dunes of that region. In addition, there is a huge portrait and a pair of figure studies which add variety to the exhibitions. "Buried Forests' Draws Attention" One canvas which captures immediate attention and which overlays its neighbors by a goodly margin is entitled "The Woodie, curator of Spoon-Thayer, relates that hundreds of years ago—possibly thousands—the Cape Cod area was blanketed by a dense forest which has since given way to sand dunes. Perhaps centuries from now this will be nothing but ban rok. In the far corner of the north gallery is the imposing face of a huge greyish-white slope shadowed on side by one its own image and surface on the other by the water of Englund's Cape Cod. It is "Cape Landscape, Third Version", and is a beautifully arresting study.
