NUMBER 94
Rachmaninoff Please s Crowd With His Technique
By John Bondson, c'unel Students in the University received a rare treat last night in the person of Sergei Rachmaninoff, celebrated Russian composer largely of selections in minor moods, the composer-conductor-pianist displayed a virtuosity seldom heard on this campus, and a warmth and feeling for his many years of unparalleled popularity.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16. 1927
Selections in Minor Mood
The program began with a lightweight dance by Huyad. 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 predominant mood of the course: a melancholy, yet selective, selection chosen by Rachmaninoff for his University program were some what melanohole and sad, suggestive of his aspect throughout the entire recital. His second group consisted of a very varied set, first in D major, 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 theme. The last one, a soma in B minor, displayed the drama of frills, lace, and decoration.
The remainder of the first half was devoted to Chopira's Sonate, Op. 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a melodic second movement. 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, but the little suggested a real original theme in original theme, rhythmic and melodic.
Plays Own Manuscript
Popular Band to Campus
After the internship, Rachmaninov returned to play first his own transcription of Bach's "Prelude," from his violin suite. But Rachmaninov played a touch of French in what accentuated the characteristic style of the composer. The next group was devoted to two of his own compositions, "Daisie," and "An Oriental Sketch." His rather moody disposition was well illustrated by the curious minor strains.
Anson Weeks' Band To Play for Junior Prom
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 they had written but not other than an 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 steadily. The letter closed with this bit of

The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Liast, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. The Lieberstein wrote that he felt the least relief, full of feeling and beauty. He treated it as a rare bit of bifrag china. Following, was the Valse Outhie, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selection, the Rapage, No. 12. The latter was a fantastic gym-like motion of a fantastical gym-like movement.

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, Rachmaninov returned to his instrument and played the last two bars 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

Back in 1912 baseball was a leading sport at Kansas and the Jayhawk nine started the season in
MASON VIEWS SPORT HISTORY
MASON VIEW Writer Discloses Football Problem Is Not a Novelty; Famous for Track, Cage
By Horace Mason, c'37
The track team had a poor season, dropping indoor and outdoor dual meets to the Missouri Tigers and an outdoor duel to Baker. The Hawkeyes din an outdoor meet but finished fourth in the conference meet
souri, Nebraska, Drake, Ames an Washington.
The football problem which occupied so many gallows of type in the University Daily Kansan during 1936 is nothing new, it would seem from a perusal of the records for 1912. Then, as now, the basketball team rode proudly at the head of the parade while the football team struggled along as best it could.
The Jayhawkers did not achieve sole possession of the conference basketball championship in 1912, but this was through no fault of their own. The conference, it was the Missouri Valley conference then, played basketball in two divisions
northern and southern. Kansas was the winner in the southern division and the Cornhuskers of Nebraska led the boys up north. The customary practice was to have the two division winners meet to decide the converse championship but play first through there, then playoff in 1912. Concurrently the 1912 season went down in the record books as a tie between Kansas and Nebraska.
The Jayhawkers of beef and brawn who cavorted on the gridiron played only three conference games in 1912, defeating Missouri and bowing to Nebraska (does that sound familiar) and Drake. Kansas also played but at that time these two schools had not yet become members of the Missouri Valley conference, which included Kansas, Missa manner which raised great enthusiasm on the part of the student body. Unfortunately, however, a flurry of injuries struck the team at a time when the campaign was at its height and the Kansas nine lost two games to Missouri which sent their chances for a championship glimmering. The senses were for the team was 11 games won and 6.

The coaching staff during 1912 included A. S. Mose, football, W. O. Hamilton, basketball and track, and Mr. Sherwin, baseball. Captains were Harold Brownlee, football, D. J. Dousman, basketball, Carl Hicks, baseball, and Will French, track.
During the 25 years that have elapsed since 1912 many athletes have won fame wearing the Crimson and Blue. Glenn Cunningham has won world renown on the track and is regarded as the greatest miler of all time. Jim Bausch after finishing his athletic career at the University went on to win the Olympic decathlon championship in 1932. Year in and year out Kansas basketball teams have ranked among the country's leaders and Jay Hawker stars have studied at Iowa and All-State colleges. The Kansas Relays were born and have developed into a track and field carnival of national repute.
Presses Are Kept Busy
Many Publications Besides Kansan Printed in Department
Besides grinding out the Daily Kanan five times a week, the department of Journalism Press takes care of various other University magazines, bulletins and supplies. The university alumni publication, which incidentally will celebrate its thirty-fifth birthday in October, is printed by the Press. It also takes on the task of printing the Kansas Engineer magazine for the engineers. The KFKU News letter is handled here every week, besides the weekly publicity letter, released by Professor Dill. These are all permanent publications and in this department for years.
Occasional bulletins, by various departments of the University, are printed here. They include the University research bulletin, The School of Business news letter, the Mid-Western Band Festival publicity, and the quarterly publication of Human Studies, released by the University.
Stationery and supplies for the use of the various departments on the Hill are printed by this department. The press does no printing for fraternities, sororites, or for outside interests of any university; only the press is placed to supply the needs of the University publications.
Follow in Their Footsteps
Four Students in Journalism Department Are Children of Majors
The adage, "like father, like son," has been affirmed in the case of four University students in the department of journalism whose fathers majored in journalism while attending the University.
Marvin Cressler, 64, father of Betty Creager, e37, is managing editor of the Milwaukee Journal at Milwaukee University where she was formerly Helen Alder, 90.
William M. Huff, 10, father of Wayne Huff, c'40, is publisher of the Chailin Charlion. While in school Mr. Huff received a "K" letter in baseball. Wayne is working in the Journalism Press as one of the three student linotype operators who set type for the Daily Kansan.
Roy Riley Moore, '07, father of Helen Moore, c'38, and Riley Moore, c'37, is now advertising manager of the Kansas Farmer, a Capper publication. Mrs. Moore, the former Birdie Greough, was graduated in 1966. Mr. Moore was business manager of the Joachina Kesten, a member of the department of Helen and Riley, was also a major in the department of journalism. He is now in the advertising department of the Wichita Beacon.

UNIVERSITY PUBLICATIONS SHOW A MARKED PARALLEL TO THE SCHOOL'S GROWTH
First Annual Was Published in 1873 and Nine Different Magazines Preceded the Present Jayhawker; Eight Other Publications Have Come and Gone in the Course of Years
By Marvin Goebel, c'uncl
If there were no other record, the growth of the University could be gauged by the number of publications. The first Kansas College annual was the "Hierophantes," published in 1873-4, a 40-page paper-backed booklet, five by eight inches in size. It contained the names of the faculty, undergrads, secret societies, members of literary societies, and much poetry.
In May, 1882, the next annual, the "Kansas Kickabee" came to or rather in its own words, "It was kicked into existence,
In May, 1882, the next annual forth, or rather in its own words named the 'Kickabee', kicked by an able-bodied opposition, and after being kicked out by night maudraurs, the first edition was kicked off (price $5 cents a copy) at the rate of 100 copies daily." Total enrollment in the University, including seven law students and 52 Normals, was 211 students.
The "Cyclone" followed the "Kickabo" in 1883 and the "Cicala" in 1884. After sleeping for five years, another annual, the "Hellanthus", appeared and had a distinction and had the distinction of being the first elth-bound book.
The editors of 1894 came forth with an original drama in five acts, instead of the regular college annual.
The "Kiwer" book of 1808 was a paper-backed book of 50 pages, containing cuts and cartoons, resembling animals in their degree, and was the first to use colors.
but it must not have "taken" for it was the first and last issue of the drama type.
The annual of 1897 was called imply "K.U."; that of 1898, "The University That Kansas Built"; 1899, "Oread"; 1900, the "Galaxy"; and n1901 the name "Jay Hawker" was adopted. The Jay Hawker of 1892 was the first annual bound in hardcover; it continued up to the present time.

Great Improvement In Printing Equipment
First Kansan Made Up Of Hand-set Type; No Presses
The type for the first Kanan was set by hand by student printers, and then the forms were locked and loaded into Prof. Olm Templin's buggy, and were hauled down to the offices of the Journal to be printed. The manuscript is now a copy of the Endowment association at the University.
In contrast to the meager printing equipment, which consisted of a few cases of type and a grim determination to "guot out" the Kansas, is the equipment of the department of journalism press today.
Four lineup machines, one Duplex printing press, and many cases of type are available for use in today's issue of the Kansan.
The Kanan office, which was originally in the basement of Fraser hall, was moved to the present Journalism building. The University bought the equipment which was owned by the Alumni Association, and added two linotypes. The building has been occupied by the department of physi-
Guy Pennock, now superintendent of printing in the department, was working on the Kansan then. "We always had plenty of copy, and the editorials were in a day ahead of schedule." Mr. Pennock told the Kansan reporter. "The advertisements and most of the news were set by hand, and all the machine had to do was to set the news."
The department then employed ut three men, two to set the advertisements, and one to run the inotype. Today, seven regular men are employed and part-time work is given to 15 University students.
1911 Files Reveal Flint-Buzz Saw Duel In Fowler Shops
Kansan Files, Dec. 24, 1911.
Buzz-Saw Worked Again. And
Now Professor Flint Wears a Large
Bandage.
'There was a young man from Chicago.
Who wanted to see a buzz-saw go.
He put up his face so near to the
place.
The doctor said, "Where did his jaw go?"
The windows in line with the buzz-sun in Fowler shops are perforated from blocks of wood that have gone through on hurried trips. Yesterday Prof. L. N. Flint, of the department of journalism, got in line with this machine and suffered a bad cut on the forehead.
Christmas is near and Professor Flint's little son wanted Santa Claus to bring him some building blocks. Although the Professor is a newspaperman, but not from Chicago, he had some inclination toward the carpenter shop. Accordingly he tried to help the carpenter shops and the block did the rest.
Now the craftmen at the shops are telling just how to stand in front of a buzz-saw when cutting blocks.
