Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
NUMBER 94
Rachmaninoff Please
Crowd With His
Technique
By John Bondson, cured Students in the University received a rare treat last night in the person of Sergi Rauhmannino, celebrated Russian pianist. In a program composed largely of selections in minor moods, the composer-conductor-pianist displayed a virtuosity seldom heard on his 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 lighthearted theme 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 predominant mood of the evening. Following this, two other selections 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 a series of movements, first in D major, 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 theme. The last one, a song in B major, displays a display of fills, lace, and decoration.
The remainder of the first half was devoted to Chopin's Sonat. Op. 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by more pronounced melancholy and morable. The second movement, mastose, 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 real original original theme, rythmic and melodic.
Plays Own Manuscript
Play Over Mains
After the intermission, Rachmaninoff altered his first 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 Minor Prelude
The program over, the pianist left the stage, but the audience felt that something was yet lacking. So upon the persuasion of freerized applause, Rachmaninov returned to his instrument and played it in the C-Sharp Minor. 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 Lüst, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. The Liebstein adaptation was colored full of feeling and beauty. He treated it as a rare bit of bifrag chima. Following, was the Valse Oubliee, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selection, the Rapsodo, No. 12. The latter was a dramatic face of a fantastic gym-like motion.

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 affection she had sent her to 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

The Busy Kansan News Room
Campus and Foreign News Gathered By Complex Organization of Student Reporters, Editors, and Featurists
The SOUR OWL, younger brother of the Kansan, wishes that paper the heartiest congratulations on its 25th Anniversary and desires to state that its own birthday will be celebrated in the May Issue.
Read the Kansan Classified Ads.
Reporting I students have regularly assigned laboratory periods of two hours each week, during which they report to the particular editor in charge of the desk at that time, to receive assignments. Sometimes these assignments consist in reading a book, during time the reporter is on duty, and which the desk man has previously received knowledge of through his tip-sheet or future book. Sometimes the reporter is asked to convert into news information received over the telephone, or by a personal interview; and sometimes he is made to rewrite articles which have all been acquired in some other publication, and which have to be revised to emphasize some angle of local interest or to provide for the addition of more recent information.
"The University Daily Kansan makes the proud boast that since it has moved into rooms formerly occupied by the Medical School it is disinfected by formaldehyde. Huh, that's nothing. We know a lot of papers that are disinfected every once in a while by the faculty." —Drake Delphic. Taken from the Kansan files of Jan. 25, 1912.
To cover the more important prov-ence of campus activities, however, the Kanan employs a battery of more than one hundred student reporters, enrolled in the three reports directed by the journal department.
The Kansas, in spite of the extensive editorial campaigns which have characterized it lately, is, of course, primarily a news gatherment organization. Its entire set-up is arranged to give its readers access to all of the important happenings in the various worlds in which they live, as quickly and as accurately as possible, and by for the greatest number of those helping to get it out are engaged in some phase of this process of gathering, assorting, and presenting the news.
Of course it is first of all concerns, with that particular world for which Mt. Oread serves as axis, and news of Hillin happens fills the bulk of its columns each day. However, it does try to summarize the most important national and international news as adequately as possible for those who rushed or unconcerned to consult the metropolitan dailies. In order this it maintains membership in the United Press. The telegraph editor of the residents handle this wire news, reporting it from telephone or radio, editing it, and submitting it to the managing editor to use as he seen fit.
100 Student Reporters
Beats Cover Hill
Every day each Reporting II student evens a regularly defined best which includes offices and departments where news is known to originate more or less abundantly. There are many of these beats, and they combine to form an adequate net of news coverage encompassing every important news source on the Hill. The reporter canvashes his sources, receiving information to be released immediately, tips for future stories, and sometimes mimeographed public stories. He then uses the newspaper's notes into order for the next day's paper.
One change in the Kanani's news gathering organization has been affected this year by the withdrawal of Reporting III students from the active part which they formerly played in getting out the paper. This year they will concentrate more on the field trips which they make to several of the larger dailies each term, although they will undoubtedly handle some special assignments and material feature which would lie outside the scope of the regular report-
Minor news sources include dispatches received from other schools and organizations throughout the country, and the Kanan library, or "morgue." Every week the Kanan receives volumes of typed and mimeographized articles from publicity departments of other colleges and organizations. The editors read this, throw most of it away, and sometime select certain parts of it to be condensed or rewritten and printed in the Kanan. The library records such stories concerning events resurrected from the past, such as obituaries of fa- maus men or resumes of previous court cases which have been revive
