... Steele Chooses His Career
... Who in Hell Sent Us This!!
... What's Left.
It all shows to you that it's sometimes very nice to have a brother—the other day Carleton Dickinson was driving around and happened to run out of fuel. He could not wait to receive a surprise when he found that the famous Dickinson theater name was not so well known to the attendant as might be expected and that Dick could not charge any gas to get home on. A little bit more clever, he received a mighty bright idea-Carleton got brother Junior's logic text book from the car and hooked it to the filling station man for a half-jolt of gas to get there. The man has at last found a use for text books.

I been wanting to write to you for a long time now but Joe I have been so busy and I knew you were getting along well, but I just wanted to know that I have been pretty busy and haven't just been neglectful Joe, and that I haven't had time to write you. Joe, I would not want to have you think I was too proud, because you know better than that Joe.
Don't quite see the permit to this letter unless it's a little ribbing for us, but here 'tis, anyway.
Dear Joe:
The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
Do you still collect match boxes and string them around over the ceiling now that you are in college Joe. And do you still have that collection of little china cups? No, they're always said joe that you had the finest bunch of toy pupps in the world and I've backed you Joe, against the best in these parts. Oh, I've seen big collections joe, but dog for dog, there aren't none of them. The town folks in town towns are mildly around of you. Joe
I saw by the paper that you won a race of some sort on a seater at a carnival or something up there. Joe, what! wow! Bessie send you? Are you ashamed of it? Has college gone to your head joe? I wudge hate to think that of you, but I have never done that. Who don't know you as well as I know you, Joe, and you know how people jump at conclusions so I do wish you more careful and be sure to make my write soon.
P. S. Was that your Señor?
Well, there's not much of an answer we can make to the above epistle except-it does sound a little like the English department doesn't it?
Your neglectful friend
A. N. Oynmus.
The Fellow who Told us this was just Run over by a Beer Truck! Hear that the Kappa Sig chinney was neatly removed by the lightning night before last ... wonder what they'll entertain us with next. . . Lucy Lee Hawk took an idea of those over-backwards things you know. . . we understand she got more fun out of it than anyone else. . . Do you know why they call her the Captain of the R.O.T.C.? ask her. What a woman, Tatty Fay, we were reading over her shoulder yesterday and she said she hadn't heard before she turned the page. . . sounds impossible doesn't it? . . They have an awful wing at the Kappa house. . . some kind of a davernport affair that separates into three chairs. . . the height of modern furniture, the smart thing to have around-and solid aside.

VOLUME XXXII
Audience Acclaims American Pianist In Program Here
Dalies Frantz Induced to Play Six Encores in Concert Presentation
By Gladys Iryine, c'unch
"It will either be very good or very bad," commented Dales Frontz, young pianist, with a smile as he chatted informally just before he began his concert in the University Auditorium has evening.
“Perhaps,” she said with a monchhachar,
“still it will be one of my best-bet
tomorrow night. I will write it again in
a long winter of cocaine. Celebrating—where or
how? I don’t know—perhaps we shall end up at a circus, and the young artist laughed
Mr. Ersault did offer his best to his audience of University students' and faculty members of the American Guild of Organists and did prove his right to be acclaimed the foremost American-born pianist. With his amazing technique he brought out tone shaded by a superlative touch, played with power and beauty, and had unusual clarity even in the most rapid passages. He put his whole self into his interpretations showing his keen imaginative insight. His program was varied offering opportunity for display of differing musical styles, both older and modern composers.
This was the last concert offered by the University Concert Course and was also the last which Mr. Frantz will play this season.
Life Spent in Music
Mr. Franzt has spent his whole life with his music. "Music," exclaimed the fair-haired athletic man, "twenty going on nineteen," as he said, "yes, I love it." America has a great future in music. She will flock here for concert tours. America will let you in this field. And jazzi? Yes, I like it—but not too much of it for all has the same rhythm. We have to get the singer. Gimme In Your Eyes, for instance.
"I do compose?" Yes, but it is awlf. I arrange some too," and Mr. Frantz pointed to the number on the program, "and I am always ranged himself. My Frantz chatted on about various things, the movies, his early beginnings as a concert pianist at the age of nine, experiences working his way through the orchestra of Michigan, humorous experiences which have occurred in his concert tour, and his anticipated vacation. He showed off stage the same dynamic over-change that he experienced interpretation at the keyboard revealed.
Mr. Frantz was induced by the enthusiastic audience to add six encores.

"the only thing we do not understand now," said Mr. Watson, "is our own position. We are masters of all but ourselves."
Mr. Watson discussed the position of the development of the various arts today. "Most American cities," he declared, "are expressions of madness. We have scarcely developed our architecture at all. Other art have also been neglected, for example sculpture." Mr. Watson also pointed to the degree of the University of Kansas, saying that he has done more than any other American alive for music.
(Continued on page three)
"We are beginning today in our new art," Mr. Watson continued, "a new translation of beauty of the old masters told in new terms. In the movie we have a new field of expression. The movies have been much different from what they were even a year ago. In sixteen months everything will be in full color. In the
