Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
NUMBER 94
Rachmaninoff Please
Crowd With His
Technique
By John Bondson, c'urel Students in the University received a rare treat last night in the person of Serger Rachmaninoff, celebrated Russian pianist. In a program composed largely of selections in minor moods, the composer-conductor-pianist displayed a virtuosity seldom heard on this campus, and a warmth and feeling for color that explains the reason for his many years of unparalleled popularity.
**Selection in Minor Mood**
The program began with a lightly embellished "Fantasy," in which the group was devoted to a selection, minor in mood, entitled "Melodie," written by written by Gluck-Sgambati. Here was the first suggestion of the predominant mood of the evening. It was followed by the selections chosen by Rachmaninoff for his University program were somewhat melancholy and sad, suggestive of his aspect throughout the entire recital. His second group consisted of three members; the first, in D major, is a sprightly, well executed, deft air, suitable for a display of nimble fingers. The second, in E minor, possessed varied temps, but again in the minor second. B Major was a brief display of riffles, and decoration.
The remainder of the first halt was devoted to Chopin's Sonata, Op. 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a more melancholic and morable. The second movement, musestoch, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduced a mood of mournful solemnity, but the final suggested a regimental original theme, rhythmic and melodic.
Plays Own Manuscript
After the intermission, Rachmaninov returned to play first his own transcription of Bach's "Prelude," from his violin suite. Here was displayed a brisk firmness of touch which accentuated the characteristic style of the composer. The next group was devoted to two of his own compositions, "Daisies," and an "Oriental Sketch." His rather moody disposition was well illustrated by the curious minor strains.
Plays C-Sharp Miner Prelude
The play goes on, the pianist left the stage, but the audience felt that something was yet lacking. So, upon the persuasion of frizened applause, Rachmanninoff returned to his instrument and asked the pianist to C-sharp him. He attacked it viciously and firmly playing it somewhat more slowly than usual. After a final encore the pianist was permitted to leave and nearly four thousand person

The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Llust, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. He colored with flesh and gentle color, felt of feeling and beauty.
He treated it as a rare bit of fragile chima. Following, was the Valse Oubliece, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selecture. The latter seemed to be suggestive of a fantastic gypsy-like motion.

Virginia Taylor happily announced to herGamma Phi sisters that she had received a valentine gift from her boy friend in a distant town, and showed them the large box as proof. When the box was opened it was found to contain all of the old letters of affection between her and written gifts other than an ordinary letter from the friend telling that he had never loved anyone as much as Virginia, and in the next breath saying that he had a new girl and was going steady. The letter closed with this bit

As part of yesterday's requirements for being initiated into Sigma Alpha Epsilon each pledge had to make a trip to the Union fountain to purchase an ice cream cone and deliver it back to the house. Some fast food vendors kept to keep the ice cream from melting but it was not divulged which pledge won the race, or whether the loser suffered any consequences.
From numerous sources comes the information that the Phi Psi's are to conduct a humane initiation—there will be no paddling and no "Hellfire" initiated, initiates will simply be stabbed and the principles of Phi Kappa Psi.

One night last week Corbin hall decorated its tables by placing one rose on each table and after the meal various girls took them to their room for souvenirs. This was too much for those in charge of the ball, so an investment was started and each person called down and questioned and asked to bring back a rose if she had taken one—the roses came back, but they had evidently been lying on radiators because they were well wilted. It is reported that investigators were exceptionally well satisfied when they heard please when a co-existence-since girl brought back a wilted daffodil she had taken the week before.

Many students who were enrolled last semester have not had their identification cards stamped with the official Bursar's stamp for the spring semester, it was announced yesterday by the Business Office. These students will be admitted to the Ruchmaninoff concert or any other university event unless they call at the Business Office and have their cards stamped. Because of this neglect many students were turned away from the last student forum.
IDENTIFICATION CARDS
NEED TO BE STAMPED
a wint price alsofresn! It seems that a couple of girls from the Alpha Chi house were wending their way homeward from the campus during the mid-se semester lull, and were whiling away a bit of time in the Wichita Grand Central School district. To make minutes fly they had carried with them a deck of (unmarked) cards and were indulging in a game of old-fashioned rummy. It seems that a strange man stood nearby and seru-tized them quite diligently for the better part of a half hour, but soon became hysterical at the nasty man, but hewed sighs of relief when he finally wandered over to the soda fountain and chatted with the attendant. His train arrived and he was whisked off into the night. Thereupon the soda-jerk approached the lady and followed her who was stowed watching you so long!" Now Reba Corbett and Mary DePew are probably kicking themselves for ignoring Leslie Howard for almost a half hour. Seems that he couldn't figure out the game of cards they were playing and asked the lady for help. It is that the two young ladies reduce to look at cards any more.

Radio Play Tells History of Organized Liquor Crusade
"Down With Demon Rum," say ten members of the cast of the radio play to be presented tomorrow night on one of history's playful histories of Katherine.
Just what hearing history may have in the state legislature's recent move toward the abolition of all alcoholic drinks may be revealed in this installment of "To the Stars Through Difficulties," which is being directed by Prof. Allen Crafton of the department of speech and drama. This play organizes the first organized fight against liquor in Mount City and is dated 1863. The scene is Mound City. In this city and in Monica women smashed saloons in much the same manner as did Carrie Nation, famed drug crusier.
Will those women students who are interested in employment please file their class schedules Monday, Feb. 15, with the Women's Employment bureau, 220 Administration building. (Signed.) MARIE MILLER assistant to the adviser of women
