Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
Rachmaninoff Please
Crowd With His
Technique
By John Bordenson, c'unel Students in the University received a treat last night in the person of Sergio Rachmaninoff, a program composed largely of selections in minor moods, the composer-conductor-pianist displayed a virtuosity sodomed hear on this campus, and a sense of urgency to explain the reason for his many years of unparalleled popularity.
NUMBER 94
**Selections in Minor Mood**
The program began with a lightly embellished cover by the first group was devoted to a selection, minor in mood, entitled "Melodie," written by Gluck-Sgambati. Here was the first suggestion of the predominant mood of the evening. The second group consisted of 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 selections in which 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 tempos, but again in the minor theme, the second group was a brief display of riffs lice, and decoration.
The remainder of the first hab was devoted to Chopi's Sonate, Op 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a more restrained movement, more morable. The second movement, musosto, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduced a mood of mournful solenity, but the finale suggested a real original theme, rythmic and melodic.
Plays Own Manuscript
Plays Own Manipulations.
After the intermission, he maneuvered it回 return to play that his own transcription of his work "Prelude." In his 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.
The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Lazt, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. He played with deft and gentle color, full of feeling and beauty.
He treated it as a rare bit of fragile china. Following, was the Valse Obluele, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selezione, and this latter seemed to be suggestive of a fantastic gyros-like motion.
Plays C-Sarp Minor Prelude
The program over, the pianist left the stage, but the audience bites that something was yet lacking. So upon the persuasion of frenzied applauds, Rachmaninoff asks the pianist to play the beloved Prelude in C-Sarp 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 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 written to her gift other than an ephemeral 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

Frost on the Bough
Bright and brief
as glimpse of fawn,
or frost on leaf
when night is gone,
or sudden showers
in rainbow weather,
were the hours
we had together.
White dream known,
in the fleeting night
died with blown
embrys spark
lost soon too
on the quiet river . . .
Under the moon
the hushed mouth's quiver
consumed the mind;
and always thin—
always the waxy
estatic kiss.
What is left
now the kis is gone,
and love bereft
was handered on?
Is it nothing now
that we long remember
frost on the bough,
and the dying ember?
During the years, 1878-79, three papers ran simultaneously. The Kansas Collegiate and the University Courier were strong rivals, especially as they were the official organs of the state courts of debate between which there was much jealousy. The Pasteur, the third paper, was published

independently by two undergraduates.
Merge Into 'Kansas Review' Eventually after Carnash's reign, the Courier and the College combined their forces and the new publication was called the Kansas Review.
The next paper was the University Times, published by a fraternity group. This was countered by the first Kansan, put out by an organization of non-fraternity men. The Kansan and the Times merged in 91. This early Kansan was a weekly, and first made its appearance in 98.
a first make its appearance.
The Karen grew in popularity.
She started a semi-weekly.
In 1960, the paper started on
a three-week—week basis.
The daily started as an entirely new organization. Though it was to be run under the sponsorship of the University, many of the positions were thrown open to all students in the University. A governing body, called the Kansan Board, was established, the memorial service were elected by the staff and faculty.
On Jan. 16, 1912, came the first issue of the Daily Kansas. A large cartoon on the front page portrayed the infant seeking admittance, with the caption "They'll be glad when they see who it is."
Second to Harvard Crimson
By spring the fledgling was well
on its way. On May 21, the Kansan
carried a table showing the stand-
ings of most University publications
of Kansas and was seated in circula-
tion only to the 40-year-old Harvard
Crimson. It had a circulation of 1683.
It was fourth in size and had the
lowest subscription price of two
dollars.
The Jan. 26 issue carried the story that the Kansan was to be the official publication of the University
At times the Kansan Board was made up entirely of men of one party affiliation. This tended to make the Kansan merely a political organ. In 1915, a change was brought about in the election committee which selected Board members with the idea of making the selection entirely on an ability basis. With this change, Kansan in Kansan policy, that of political non-partisanism. This has been followed closely since that time.
The years just before the war, were prosperous ones for the Kansan, and many men later to make themselves nationally known in journalistic circles had their turn at the helm. At first, the appointments to the staff had been for an entire year, but to give more attention now, new dealing a chance at the experience, the periods were shortened. The length of these varied from a month to a semester.

In 1925 the campus opinion column was revived. There had been similar columns under different editors and that was the time as a new and novel feature.
The department returned to normal following the war, and new interest was aroused. On Sept. 18, 1923, the first Sunday Kansan was published. It was planned as a feature similar to commercial Sunday sheets.
In February, 1955, the position of publisher, to be elected by the Kansan board, was added to the Kansan staff. The publisher was to secure co-ordination of the news and editorial staff and formulate policy. This position was for an entire semester.
An interesting note on the changing status of the profession is the rise of women on the Kansan staff. Though the women had practically run the paper in the war period, there had never been a feminine managing editor until 1933, when Martha Lawrence was elected to that position. Since that time, five others have held the post.
Changed to Morning Paper
Changed to Morning Paper In 1935, the Kanan was changed to a morning paper to better serve the needs of the student body.
Now we come to the present Kusan. The governing organization is the Kusan Board, composed of students chosen for their work on the paper, and representing those who have demonstrated their loyalty by holding staff positions; though this is not necessarily the case.
The Kansas Board elects the publisher, the editor in chief, and the managing editor. The latter two appoint their subordinates.
President William Howard Taft visited the University on his tour in 1912.

Twenty-five years is quite a stretch to render efficient service as you have to the students of K. U. and the people of Lawrence. We have watched you through all this time, for we had been on the job giving the students and faculty of K. U. the best we knew how in laundry service for eight years before you arrived.
We are still doing our best to give them the last word in laundry and dry cleaning service and hope to for many years. We feel sure you will be here too to help us tell them about it. Best wishes for long years of usefulness and prosperity in the years to come.
