Swing Music Goes Over Big With Audience
Music that was kinesitic drew over 2,000 students to the first concert of popular music in the University auditorium last night and gave the Meurs Rachmoffn and Karl Kreuger something to shoot at in the way of audience popularity this season.
"Goodman" rhythm. s w u n g l y lightly and with a d o w n boat,左 the audience rocking on its heels awingers' at last had their day.
Conductor "Louie" Forman, m39, in his best concert manner, gave the cues which marked the history of modern music from the "corry" to the "swing". The prehistoric jazz which originated in the shim-sham clubs in New Orleans was traced down through the "blues" era of Broadway harlem music—thrilla that danced nurses not to break a leg—and ended up in a truly "swing session" that used for its support the A.D. Fi trio, a male chorus and two kettle-drums.
The whole program, marked with the coni agitato of its rhythm and the simplicity of its themes, began, we predict, an era of the concert for the modern composers of "the eight-hai and two-chorus" menus.
Probably the outstanding single performance was the work done in the battery section by Charlie Dodds when he jammed the beechwood drumsikts into everything but the public address system.
Forman Leads
On the more saccharine side, the modern male chorus, under the direction of Ross Robertson, emptied saddles in the old coral with the commendable voice of Bill Bodley c'40.
Studenst Showmen
The jam session demonstration did not have the spirit of the hang-out basement affairs probably due to the absence of one of the most necessary ingredients which loses inhibitions.
Last night's entertainment, and it was just that from beginning to end, proved that students can be showman—that maybe there is something to this unorthodox idea of the modern dance musicians expressing himself—and that present-day artisans are less dependent on ward permanency in some form.
The swing concert will replace the abandoned W.S.G.A. musical comedy唯一需要它 it fulfilled a very inexpensive need here on the Hill, even if the needs of the football situation are still unfulfilled.

on the SHIN
Ruth Esther Purdy seems to be taking a regular bit of razning three times a week before her 11:30 class begins. She is a practice teacher at Oread High, and it so happens her class is held in Fraser Hall. Invariably, as she approaches the west entrance of the building, the high school wisecare make plenty of noise from the class-room windows. Remarks such as "Teacher's got a beat," and "I have a crush on you," out a crisonon on the necks of Purdy and her usual muscular companion Bob Doollitle.
Many are greatly relieved that Mr. Edward Dwind Wood, better known as King Edward VIII, has finally abducted. The reason for such relief is because the wife reliving to Mrs. Simpson stand a good chance of being discarded and forgotten. From now on, Mae West should make a quick comeback to take her former place as a leading joke personality.
The depression really must be gone if the ritz Christmas cards that are appearing on the Hill are an indication
There is a report making the rounds on the Hill that Maxine Wooden, winner of the trip to the Rose Bowl, will not be able to make the trip, because she is the "baby" of the Woody family and her family thinks that it is best for her to spend her vacation with them.

Exams To Be Given For Civil Service Jobs
Seek Larger Appropriation Next Year
Larger Enrollment.
Building Needs and
Salaries Given As
Reasons
The University has requested an operating budget sufficient to carry increased student enrollment, to restore part of the depression salary reductions, and to train the nursing students that have been pointed out that even the present budget cannot be carried out without additional appropriations, since emergency and reserve balances have been drawn into the budget as almost to have exhausted them.
Enrollment at the University is larger this year than ever before, nearly 1,000 greater than in the low depression year of 1933, but the present appropriations are less. Compared with the 1929-30 year, the enrollment was about one cent greater, but regular appropriations are fully 25 per cent less.
Ask Salary Boost
It has been recommended that salary restorations be made sufficient t equal half of the reductions which began five years ago. The University scale is compared with, and shown to be materially lower than, the media in instructional salaries in 12 midwestern state universities. The salaries there were 11.6 to 19.9 per cent higher in 1800 than this, and here year the differential is fairly twice as great. It was found that in practically all neighbouring states, salaries have grown by at least 50%, and in some states substantially increased, while no increase has been made here.
The result is that the greatest number of students in the history of this school are being served by fewer teachers. The experience the experienced teachers are leaving for better salaries elsewhere, and that consequently, there is an inevitable dilution of the quality of education to the young people of Kunawa.
That much equipment is rapidly becoming chotele and must be replaced owing to the minimum department allotments for operations in the past six years, is another point which is stressed.
Need Two Buildings Here
Need Two Bldigns Here
 seven buildings for the Lawrence campground of Medicine at Kansas City are highly desirable, it was said. Two of them are urgently needed here this year as well as least four in Kansas City
Fifty thousand dollars has been requested for the repair of Dyche Museum, which has been closed for several months and is occurring to the exhibits from the museum in storage is offered to substantiate the request. Dust and mildew are taking their toll despite the repairs, making a possible under unfavorable condition.
Additional stack room for the library on the campus is the second request stated as urgent. Little additional space was gained for stack rooms on the campus in 12 years ago, and since that time thousands of books have been added to the collection. Now, through all available space has been utilized by means of makeshift shelving. 44+ books are in storage, unavailable to users, but this is the distressing facts that many valuable volumes are on unprotected shelves where they are subject to unhealthy hard wear, and only those books most in demand are kept where they are readily available.
Need Mugh at Kansas City
The appropriations for building
for the University campus at
Kansas City are:
Need Much at Kansas City
Completion of clinic, Children's pavilion, and warehouse,
$105,000.
Connecting corridor, $60.000.
Negro ward, $75.000.
Addition to power plant, $60,- 000.
Gifts to the University for the last two years were listed and included: $0,000 for a children's ward at the University hospitals; the new dormitory for self-supporting women at the University, now under construction as a gift from Mrs J. B. Wakkins; the Hodder and Dunnett laboratory; the Scribner laboratory; and the Frank Miller loan fund of $45,000.
Zoology Club Entertains

Night Halts Plane Search
While a falling barometer and threat of general snow storms pressured hazardous flying conditions tomorrow, half a dozen pilots grounded their planes to join the air squadron which provide the aid to a small group sealing the steep granite walls of the snow-clad Wash Mountains.
Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec. 15-
(UP) -Search for a Western Air
Express transport plane, missing
16 hours was halted tonight by
darkness. The search for the ship and
recruitment agents will be refilled

Regents Hear Ideas To Aid Sports Status
A program to broaden the coaching instruction of the University as an attempt to improve the athletic situation here was discussed last night when members of the athletic board met informally with members of the Board of Regents to confer with the director of athletics and Coaches Lindsay and Getto. The meeting was purely for the purpose of gathering information Ralph T. GONEL, chairman of the committee, led a brief committee on athletics, said that no definite action could be expected before Dec. 28, when the regents meet at Manhattan.
Attending the meeting were Ralph T. O'Neill, Dr. Drew McLaughlin, and Mr. M. Harris, members of the Board of Regents; Chancellor Lindley, Karl Klobow, Dr. F. C. Allen, Dean of the University; Dan Survey, of the athletic board.
Outline Problems
After the board members had received from Doctor Allen an outline of the general problems involved in expanding the physical education program, Coaches Ad Lindsey and Mike Getto were called in.
At the present time the University does not have a coaching school. A major in physical education is offered through the School of Education, in the junior and senior years. The school technically the same plan as the University. At Oklahoma there is a three-year course in coaching offered with opportunity provided for exceptional students to take a five-hour course in their freshman year. At Kansas it takes a four-hour year from your coaching school. Nebraska administers the school as a technical course in the teachers college.
Coaching Plan
A coaching plan for the University is still in an embryonic stage. Members of the Board of Regents had board the coaching school suggested as a possible solution to the athletic problem of the University and met here to gather information on the subject.
This meeting like the one held Monday night contained no discussion pertinent to changing the personnel of the athletic department. The financial question which was discussed at great length Monday high received only slight consideration at the meeting last night.
