'We' Review Fall Concert OfSymphony
To the slow, morose, minor strain of Tachukowski's "March Slav," the University of Kansas Symphony Orchestra launched its first fall concert last night in the University Auditorium.
By Ken Postlethwaite, c'38
The pult created by this dishinheart-
number stayed with us during
the rest of the evening except for a
free isolated and memorable in-
fusion.
In its second number, Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5 in C Minor," the orchestra came out of its lithering, especially in the third "Allegro" movement. Throughout this number, however, it was evident that the brass instrument was smothered and they held the upper hand most of the time.
Relief in Harpist's Number
Belief can immediately intervene following a sudden fall, fa 38, harpist, came on the stage for the first time. She was wearing a black gown with a circular skirt. The only color in her dress was a gold and red strip at the bottom. Since a harpist remains idle during so much of a show, she may not just be attractive. Masure Soar must meet most exacting requirements.
But the harpist was not the only well-gowned woman on the stage for many stunning dresses were worn by members of the orchestra. A lackless affair on the front row of the first performance a great deal of admiring comment

Flutist Displays Technique
Fultish Displays Technique
Alex Bolefiel, buster, flutist, was featured in the orchestra: Chamimade "Concertino." Mr. Fieldier, wearing tails (other "tails" were worn by Alex's brother Arthur and Dean Swearthbound a buttoniere and a goatie, played exquisitely and received much applause for his efforts. His tone and techiness were nothing short of remarkable.
"The Call of the Plains" (Gold-mark) was the sort of music one hares in the better western movie epics. In it, the band plays a drum with a vengeance to the finish. We closed our eyes during the last straits and could see the sun setting on a string of covered wagons sweeping down an ash blade to the western landed land.
KFKU
Moussorgky Indices Squirring
"A Night on Bald Mountain" (Moussorgky) may have been very good. It made us so nervous and squirrel that we could tell whether he was trying to pose or by accident. We're sure Moussorgky was worried about a thimmingate.
The last number had its frightened when we saw it on the program. It was to be, so the program said, "a canta band on Walt Whitman's 'O Captain! My Captain!" This presentation featured Irene Beaucoy, so旁听的 the Westchester A. Capella Choir, Dean D. M. Searbowtail
The orchestra was pushed back to either side of its platform and the choir was inserted in the middle. We were all very impressed with how well the body was artificially outworked.
Vies Vanity With Orchestra
Our fears were not in vain, for half the cantata had passed before we heard one note from Mihai Pevac Body. Nearby there was to derast a word except for an occasional "O Captain!"
The thee looked stunning in its dress costumes and on the occasions when they could be heard above the noise, impressed with their unfailing ability.

Washington, Nov. 17 - (UP) —A representative of striking eastern seamen tonight consented to proposals by the U. S. Conference of Mayors for arbitration of the maritime strike in progress on both Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Jack Larson, secretary of Strike Strategy committee in New York City, said his group was "ready, willing and able" to accept negotiations for strike settlement.
Coast Strikers Agree To Confer On Settlement
The Sailors' Union of the Pacific previously rejected the offer on the grounds that it would not arbitrate "the fundamental principles involved." The telegram came from Jack Larsonn. It said:
"Rejection of the terms contained in your telegram by the alleged officials of the LS.U. based on arbitrary, unreasonable and unwarranted statement make further discussion of you charged by you unnecessary at this time."
"We represent the overwhelming majority of the LSU, and are ready, willing and able to prove this to your satisfaction. We also are prepared to prove that there is no valid agreement enforced with the ship owners on the Atlantic and Gulf coast. As such representative we are ready, willing and able to help you work together with any representatives chosen by the Präsident and all other parties concerned to negotiate an agreement."
Ready for Settlement
The Sailors' Union telegram sent from San Francisco by Secretary Harry Lundberg said:
"Your wire received requesting both sides to arbitrate.
"This will inform you that the Sailor" Union of the Pacific is on record to unanimously reaffirm its stand to night in a general membership meeting of 160 members, that it cannot be compromised, fundamental principles involved."
Owners Want Peace
Owens Wine
A telegram from T. G. Plant, chairman of the Coast Committee of Shig Owners, San Francisco, said;
"We acknowledge receipt of your telegram of Nov. 16. We are concerned solely that a just settlement of the differences between employers and employees shall be made and that a lasting peace shall result.
"The employers will willingly accept your suggestions to submit all issues in dispute to arbitration by an impartial board to be appointed. The employers will then comply with your request the employers then will be prepared to discuss the necessary arrangements for return of the men to their jobs, and for arbitration, which needles them most adequately protect all interests."

A man who has been preaching all his life is very apt to have something to say. William Hard, who will give a lecture tomorrow night in the Auditorium, tells in his autobiography that he was first shocked when music stounded in the streets of Ajinjir, India, with his father, a Christian missionary.

Henderson Gives Answer to Problem, 'What Is Swing?'
"What is 'Swing Music?' "
Fifthier Heatonson, colored "king of awil," who swift, play the Freshman. Friche, here Dec. 4, is often asked this question.
Although "swing" has never been defined to anyone's satisfaction, Houderson recently declared, "It is produced by a group of musicians who, given a musical theme, try to interpret the tune with rhythmic variations and trick intentions, as they soifiably feel it."
"Swing music is the only field where the solist is given free rein to play a melody as he sees fit. If the syncopated patterns move the listeners to rhythmical feelings, then it swings." Henderson declared. Probably the best example of Henderson's interpretation of "swing" is his own original radio theme song. "Christopher Columbus."
Famous Diva Is Near Death
The 75-year-old diva was pronounced "noticeably weaker" by her physician, Dr. F. M. Alter, after a blood transfusion failed to react favorably. The singer was too weak to be removed from her home to a hospital. Mme.

Hollywood, Nov. 17, (UP) "The white-hairred Mine. Ernestine Schumann-Henck, internationally famous opera singer, converted to the screen a year ago, tonight clung to a thin threed of life as she fought the ravages of a blood disease which became acute last week.
Dr. Aler, after reporting that a series of blood transfusions beginning early this week had failed to counteract the inroads of blood dyscrasia, from which the disease has subdued, summoned members of her family.
The singer had not lost consciousness late today as they gathered around her, two of her friends, her grand-chief and a great-grand-

The establishment of a book store to be owned and operated by the students of the University will be discussed at a special combined event held on Friday, January 21 was announced by the W.S.G.A. last night.

This event will be presented by members of the women's student government.
The possibility of the proposed book exchange is not fostered by any Hill political movement but will be encouraged only if the part of both organizations. A committee composed of representatives of the W.S.G.A. and the M.S.C. will probably be appointed to oversee the handle design work in the project.
In discussing the matter with a W.S.G.A. representative last night, John Milton Phillips, president of the Men's Student Council, made the following statement: "A student book store would satisfy universal need and, its benefits being so wide-spread, should be based upon united student opinion." A student political connection, such an actm must be supported by all the students in order that its success may be complete."

The greatest change, which will become effective in the spring semester, were made in the German department by counting amounts to 25 hours were dropped and 8 courses totaling 24 hours were added. In effect, this change amounts to nothing more than reimagining of seven present courses.

These will be on a slightly higher level than the present ones which are open to sophomores.
