Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience

Rachmaninoff Please Crowd With His Technique

Students in the University
received a rare treat last night in the
person of Seeney the pianist. In a program
compiled largely of selections
in minor moods, the composer-con-
duor-pianist displayed a virtuosity
seldom heard on this campus, and a
weeklong series of concerts explains the reason for his many
years of unparalleled popularity.
**Selection in Minor Mode**
The program began with a "high chase," by Hydyn. The rest of the first group was devoted to a selection, minor in mood, entitled "Melodie," which was written by Gluck-Sgambatt. Here was the first suggestion of the predecessor, and thus the exception of three, the selections chosen by Rachmaninoff for his University program were some what melancholy and sad, suggestive of his aspect throughout the entire recital. His second group consisted of two sets, one as Coelotti. 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 minor range; the third major, was a brief display of frills, lace, and decoration.
The remainder of the first half was devoted to Chopi's Sonate, Op. 58. The first movement, marked aliquet, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a more melodic work that is more movable. The second movement, muscato, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduced a mood of mournful solemnity, but the finale suggested a restful, original theme, rhythmic and melodic.
Plays Own Manuscript
Plays Own Sketchbook
After the internship, Rachmaninoff returned to play his own transcription of Baldi's "Prelude," from his piano. Here was disia-
bility as 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 Minor Prelude
Plays C-Sharp Minor Preface
The program over, the pianist left the stage, but the audience felt that something was yet lacking. So upon the persistence of an app-up, the saxophonist returned to his instrument and played the beloved Prelude in C-Csharp 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

The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Liatz, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. The Liebstraume color, full of feeling and beauty. He treated it as a rare bit of fragile china. Following, was the Valse Oubliee, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selec-tion. This seemed to be suggestive of a fantastic gyros-like motion.

POPULAR HILL HANGOUTS HAVE COME INTO BEING ONLY IN RECENT YEARS
Governor Walter A. Huxman yesterday affixed his signature to a provision of the appropriation bill for buildings and improvements at state institutions which will provide $53,000 for completion and restoration of Dyche museum. At the same time he vetoed part of the bill providing for an appropriation of $100,000 which was to provide for a connecting corridor building between the clinic or dispensary building and main hospital for the University School of Medicine at Kansas City.
Prior to the beginning of the 20th century there were only a handful of fortresses and sororities in op-operative hospitals that were not as we know them today.
None of these groups had houses, but occasionally all of the members of the group would rent rooms in the same house so that they could practice with a common practice to have to a meeting hall similar to the lodge-hall of today. The organizations were very select, with a membership of only six or eight persons, and one fraternity was situated upon both buildings had 15 members.
In the year 1890 some enterprising person opened up a sandwich shop in the basement of Fraser hall, but the venture was not a success; feel sad, and it closed less than a year after its opening.
As a rule, students ate in boarding houses, a practice which is followed to no small extent today, and 21 moa weeks a week. The meals cost $2.75 to $3.50. During the early part of the life of the University, continuing up almost to the beginning of the World War, Wiedemann's was the only place to which the young blades took their dates for refreshments. This was before the time when persons thought of eating ice cream in the summer season. Ice cream served ice cream sodas in the spring and summer seasons, and oysters and other cold weather foods in the fall and winter months. The place

When we casually step into one of the several eating places adjoining the campus, we should occasionally try to visualize where those persons ate who went to school "way back in the "dark ages," when the University was an up-and-coming institution of 400 students.
Students who desired to eat on the full brought their own lunches; those who wanted to eat in restaurant had been taken town to satisfy their appetites.
During the early days of the school, there were no such things as " joints" within blocks of the camps. In fact, there were only one block of a building in each of the University buildings surrounding Mount Oread.
During the "gay 90's" there were three restaurants, all of them on the main street, which drew the lion's share of the student trade. Two of these places were in the 700 block and the other was owned by the father of W. G. Hutson, present owner of the Hotel Eldridge.

was redecorated twice a year to fit the season.
Around 1910 Lee's College Imm was opened at Fentworth and Tennessee streets, and from then on until it burned, it was considered "the place to be" before the fire, but it never regained its immense popularity, a trait peculiar to the restaurant business. The place is now known as Coe's number 2, and is one of the most popular places near the campus.
Shortly before the advent of the United States into the war, E. C. Bricken built a restaurant near the north edge of the campus and called it "Brick's," and although the place was relatively new, it times in the past decade, it has always been known by this name. Because of its location near the campus and on top of the Hill, the place took immediate favor with the students, and held it until the saturation of its population. Brick's was a byword and a favorite gathering place for students for many years.
The period beginning with the close of the war and continuing up to the present saw the opening of several new "joints" on or near the top of the Hill, among them the Rock Chalk, and the Jay-sawk.
The Rock Chalk began as a lovely hamburger stand on wheels at 14th and Tennessee streets. J. C. Ramsay, then a student in the University, bought the wagon and moved it to Twelfth and Oread, the
site of the present café. Business was so good that he had to enlarge his establishment, and he did so by building what is row the west hall of the place with counter seats and using it for games and a chicken. He later rebuilt the whole place, enlarging it to its present size.

the fountain in the basement and one needs only to go there some morning between classes to see how popular the place is.
Several other places deserve mention, for while they did not enjoy the sanction of the University officials, they certainly had their share of the business as hang-outs for University students.
Among the places there was the "Cow Shaw." Lawrence's one and only attempt at a night club. This place was located in the basement of the Dickinson theater building, and the interior was finished in the "stable motif." The place remained open only a short while.
Then of course there has been the Mission, the R&M, and the more recent "Street Car," not to mention several others where the students go for a little relaxation and prepare the ancient art of "elow-handkind."
The coming of the automobile to the campus made it possible for the
students to out of the city limits also, and it marked the rise of such places as the "Teepees," Midland, Milers, Six Corners, and even the places in Kansas City City to enumerate. The week's business over the week-end.
These "joints" have played no small part in the lives of the students here at the University. Many of them have become by-words to the students, but the popularity of such places change as the students come and go, when they are in the future is a problem for someone with a glass ball and a turban to figure out. No one else knows.
Only 3650 had paid their fees yesterday morning. A 50 cents a day fine has been added. Approximately six hundred have yet to pay their fees before Tuesday at 5 p.m. After Tuesday all enrollments not paid for will be cancelled, according to Karl Klooz, bursar.
