Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
NUMBER 94
Rachmaninoff Please
Crowd With His
Technique
Selection in Minor Role
The program begin with a lightly directed vase, by Haydon. The rest of the first group was devoted to a selection, minor in mood, entitled "Melodie," which was written by Gluck-Sgambati. Here was the first suggestion of the theme, a scene from With the exception of three, the selections by Rachmaninoff for his University program were somewhat melancholy and, sad suggestive of his aspect throughout the entire recital. His second piece is Seaillat. The first, in D major, was a sprightly, well executed, deft air, suitable for a display of nimble fingers. The second, in E minor, possessed varied tempos, but again in the same manner as in E major, was a brief display of frill face, and decoration.
By John Bondeson, c'amel Students in the University received a rare cure last night in the person of Sergei 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.
The remainder of the first half was devoted to Chopi's Sonata, Op. 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a more muscular movement, more amenable. The second movement, musesto, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduced a mood of mournful solemnity; it suggested a return to the original theme, rythmic and melodic.

from his violin suite. Here was dis-
played a brisk firmness of touch
which accentuated the characteristic
style of the composer. The next
group was devoted to two of his own
compositions, "Daisie," and "an Ori-
ental Sketch." His rather moody
disposition was well illustrated by
the curious minor strains.
The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Lüst, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. The Liebstrasse colorful, full of feeling and beauty. He treated it as a rare bit of fragile china. Following, was the Valse Oulieh, No 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selection, the Rapposite. The suggestion of a grandly fantastic lyre-like motion.
Plays C-Sharp Minor Prelude
The program over, the pianist left the stage, but the audience felt that something was yet lacking. So upon the persuasion of frenzied applause, Rachmanioff returned his piano and preached the Prelude in C-Sharp Minor.
He attacked it vigorously and firmly, playing it somewhat more slowly than usual. After a final encore, the pianist was permitted to leave, and nearly four thousand person

Virginia Taylor happily announced to her Gamma 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 affective letters in a gift other than an explanatory 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 of

Kansas Sour Owl First Saw Daylight At Grid Smoker
"And now, men, we have one more attraction for you this evening. You have never before seen, or heard tell, of what is now to fly forth." Everyone at that football smoker, in the fall of 1914, waited and watched and then Vol. 1, No. 1, of the Sour Owl fluttered forth.
With the most interesting history of any of the University publications, the Sour Owl has survived many vicissitudes. Six students had started out long and not out their magazine and had worked secretly and quietly at night in the Kansas office setting type. Yellow paper was selected as the most important periodical as important as theirs was to be.
A name had to be found, and "as all work was done at night, the Owl Publishing Company" became the operating organization with the "Sour Owl" for their magazine. It came off the cover of the football game so the publishers decided to let their pet fly at the smoker.
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1937
University authorities began investigating the source of this new "bird" that had the audacity to fly around the campus without their knowledge and consent. After a bit of investigation by Chancellor Strong, and by the student auditor, the matter was dropped as no convincing information as to the "sulkrits" were forthcoming.
This only stimulated added interest and sales, and made it easy for the next issue to be a complete sell out.
An article, "Can Eight Billion Dollars Remain Neutral?" by Ernest K. Lindley, and Chancellor Lindley, and Washington correspondent for the New York Herald-Tribune, appears in this week's Saturday Evening Post. The article considers the question of the United States' remaining in spite of its investments in other countries.
The Owl Publishing Company was later changed to the Sour Owl representative committee, which had charge for a number of years. In the spring of 1924, Sigma Delta Chi was given charge of the magazine

Original Statute Kept Mon and Women Students Separate
Back in 1864, when the legislature passed the act providing for the University of Kansas, there were many old moralists in that memorable meeting who thought that the presence of men and women in the same class would be derogatory for both. And with this in mind they tacked a Section 9 of the Act Providing for the Establishment of the Universi of Kansas at Lawrence, which res[
"There shall be two branches of the University, viz., a male and a female branch. The female branch may be taught exclusively by women, and buildings for that branch shall be entirely separated from the buildings of the male branch. And to the male branch shall be issued a male female branch, the regents shall annually appropriate a sufficient amount of funds of the University."
PEOPLES STATE BANK
But from the first day of classes down to the present time there has been no discrimination against women in the University, although the original law was on the statute books until the second revision of the state statutes in 1889, when this section was repealed.

cieties, made its debut on Mount Oread in the spring of 1914, in the form of a pamphlet. It was published as an annual until 1920, when it changed to a quarterly technical magazine, making it the first publication of its kind west of the Mississippi.
In 1915 the department of Chemical Engineering put out a publication known as the Kansas Chemalurgist, which continued to operate under that name until April, 1919, when Prof. F. B. Dainais announced that it would not be issued because of lack of funds. It was aware of most critically important amendments of the chemists. The Kansas Engineer turned over a section of its magazine in year to the interests of Chemalurgy.
The history of various other publications seem lost in the past save the dates of their origin and of their death, and many lived for just a few issues. A list as far as the records are in the office of the Kanan show:
