Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
Rachmaninoff Please
Crowd With His
Technique
By John Bondeson, cunei
Students in the University received a rare treat last night in the person of Serger Raeghmaninoff, 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.
**Selections in Minor Mood**
The program began with a lightly embellished "Fantasie", by Haydn. The rest of the first group was devoted to a selection called *Mood*, titled *felidieu*, which was written by Gluck-Sgambati. Here was the first suggestion of the predominant mood of the evening. With the exception of three, the 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 three sonatas by Scarlatti. The first, in D major, was a sprightly well executed piece suitable for mimeable fingers. The second in E minor, possessed varied tempos, but again in the minor theme. The last one, a soma in E major, was a brief display of frills lace, and decoration.
The remainder of the first hal was devoted to Chopira's Sonate, Op 58. The first movement, marked allegro, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replaced by a more meditative, morable. 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 solenity, but the finale suggested a restful original theme, rhythmic and melodic.
.
Plays Own Manuscript
After the internship, Bachman-roff returned to play first his own transcription of Bach's "Prelude," from his 1938 version. Here was dis-instrumental in 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 Frant Lüst, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a rapt audience. With the Lieberman title he delivered with goulette beauty, full of feeling and beauty. He treated it as a rare bit of bifrag china. Following, was the Value Obliehe, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selection, the Rapeur. The latter was also to be suggestive of a fantastic glove-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 frezzed applause, Rachmaninoff returned to his instrument and he embarked on 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 persons

Flint Guides Kansan--
All the faculty and students will testify that the one single personality outstanding in counseling the Daily News has been the head of the department.
He would shift the credit to the skill of the 30 instructors who have taught and to the energy of more than 1,100 students who have taken Professor Flint's course on the artimism. Professor Flint would have the world believe that he has had absolutely nothing to do with the paper's success . . . but such commendable modesty does not stand up under scrutiny, and the world knows better.
Continued from page 14 "hell" for the antics of his student editors and reporters—and although he has been the pilot that has guided the student paper off, not on, many shoals and reeds—he still discounts any credit that would come his way for the success of the University Daily Kausan during the past 25 years.
But in writing about the achievements and influence of a contemporary, one is liable to revert to copious dripping of sentiment and drooling futters of admiration. When one professor he finds a person who keeps mutual respect on a high plane, who does his share of chuckling and metes out reprimands and encouragement in the same breath. So an article does not have to become saccharine in order to impress the reader.

Of course, it is an easy matter to go to "Who's Who" and collect columns of factual material printed in six-point type about Flint, Leon Nelson, as principal of Olathe high school, publisher of the Manhattan, Kan. Nationalist, editor of the Graded Library, author of The High School Newspaper," "The Editorial," and the one authoritative book on newspaper ethics entitled "The Conscience of the Newspaper." But one doesn't really get to know Flint by observing him through a microscope, or by looking up his care and feeding. One example that shows the type of man heading the department is his own personal employment bureau. It is estimated that he has obtained jobs through his valuable contacts with professional newspapers men. Students have gone to the Asociated Press, United Press, the New
York Times, and the Scripps-Howard organizations, magazines have hired graduates of the department—and the continued excellence of Kansas journalism owes no little credit to the inspiration and teaching by the head of the journalism department at the University of Kansas.

After a time he pulled out a key-windwatch in a gold hunting case as large as a saucer and scrutinized its surface caually. Then he stepped from the verandah and went about the shadowy, weed-grown lawn, collecting dead branches which had fallen from the row of cottonwood trees bordering the carriage-way. Now and then he glanced at the lights from the fields and road below, but when he turned around he whispered or whomever he was waiting to come from that direction.
"They will frighten her away," he said once, under his breath. "Perhaps she will be afraid to come, with all the lights."
Unabashed at a conception of hospitality which called for a fire on the heart, even when the thermometer read above eight degrees, he paused and looked around. The sticks in a flask in the library, laying them so that they would be

Then, choosing a book from one of the long shelves which followed the walls of the room back until they lost themselves eventually in darkness, he read for perhaps ten minutes; when, as if at a prearranged signal, he drew forth his watch again, closed the book, and tossed a lightened match into the fire place.

Almost immediately the door opened, and Mary came into the room—silently, eerily, as she always did. Zeko looked at her longingly, remembering. She had not failed him after all. He wondered, oddly, if he would always love her as he did at that moment.
Of course not, he decided. Such things happened only in books. After a time, he would learn to forget; would not care any longer. . . After she had gone, however, he returned to his books and his fire with a sigh. He said, "You were so long, long time—she had been deed, now, for almost sixty years.
