Not a Chain Letter—Just One of the Usual Grips From a Satisfied Reader . . . Let's Go to the Horse Show . . . Graves Lost.
Dear Joe:
Here's another of those "I'll grip plenty but I won't sign my name for you, because even if I do want you to get someone else to tell me my name I'd get some myself letters. (Can you figure all of that one out?)
Why is it that these Phi Deltas are always getting so much publicity? You print their letters as though we other students would tell us. We admit that they need more than publicity can ever hire them, but it gets tireome reading about insidious things that happen.
So why not give us some news about other lodges and about the fair damals? It bet that the only persons in town who were there yesterday were Phi Delta and Betty Lu.
Hoping for the best in future issues, Typical Reader.
Whether our friend the Typical Reader is aware of the fact or not we don't know, but yesterday's was the second time I had to explain how to manage business, the man who wrote the letter at least did the work it required. He helped us to fill some space without being asked, and he has the necessary tools to do that. There are any possible way and not stoop to making nasty, back-hitting remarks about the others. Seems pretty commendable to us and we don't in the least mind helping him with that. The reader, that enough is enough, but we feel competent to judge when that is far as this pillar is concerned; so it looks pretty much as though you stick your own nose at a funny noise at yourself, doesn't it?
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Have you seen the poster on the Library bulletin board advertising the normal Nazifera horse show? My oh my my! That would only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only
Here's a tale of a lad who was called but didn't quite get there. A pretty and affair but we must give him credit for trying at least. Tuesday the Sigma Delta Club hires a luncheon in honor of the university Varsity Club. As is the usual procedure, all members were notified of the event and where it would take place. Theo Graves, being an upstanding member of the lodge and desirous of hearing the guest speech, hied himself away to a place known as the University Club. It was a great day, and, to rumor has it, it waited until about 1:30 for the other members and the guest to arrive. From what we heard the lunch was still held at the University Club. Theno
We've been requested to ask Skeh Chambers not to stand outside the windows of the reservoir at the library for a meeting of our tracing to the studios and anyway even though he's doing the whining only for Eleanor Nolan, the other fair ones in the building. He hopefully out the window also. Very, very disappointing to the poor girls.
We hear that Prof. Skillon requested all of the members of his histories of music class to help the cause of the Fine Arts School along as much as they could participate in it, while they have their picture taken. Then people who read articles and look at pictures can gaze at the photo and say, "Oh for goodness sake, will you just look at all the organ blowered?" May the cause also demand that the cause also—and request that all students who feel so inclined call and find out when the picture will be taken and get into the picture if they have time. May be your only chance to be a visiting artist?

The bill which is officially known as No. 2, an amendment of varsity dance Bill no. 14, has in its most important feature the section on varsity dance manager greater power in contracting for orchestra and giving him a continuity of office that will secure a greater efficiency in hiring bonds. This will result in fewer contracts to the studio and Lloyd Metzler, his year's varsity dance manager.
Dances Under Joint Auspices
Dances Under John Ainsley
Section 1 of the bill as amended requires that "All varsity demands be conducted by an official dean of theemplessmen (the WS, GA, the M.S.C., and the Memorial Union Operating committee)."
The amendments to section 2 provide that the manager of the varsity dances shall be selected by a committee composed of the Memorial Union manager, the chairman of the varsity committee, and the retiring varsity dance manager, with the approval of the Union Operating Committee. The Varsity舞 dance manager must be chosen from a state of five candidates nominated by the university of candidates to be drawn up not later than the third meeting of the ewly-elected council. Lloyd Metzler, dance manager, has indicated that he will not serve on the committee since he was appointed as a member of a political office.
Dance Manager in Charge
The amendment to section 2 further provides that the varity dance manager, shall, with the advice and consent of the social committees of the W.S. G.A. and the M.S.C., decide how many dances shall be held in accordance with contracts for music, decorations, and other necessary expenses shall be negotiated by the Memorial Union manager, under the supervision of the auditor of student funds. All other duties not specifically designated herein shall be performed by the dance manager under the direction of the Memorial Union manager.
An amendment pertaining to profits as set forth in section 7 of the bill requires that any profits accruing from the operation of the varity dances shall be deposited by the management funds. At the end of the year any balances remaining shall be transferred to the Kansas Memorial Union fund and in section 8, that any deficit remaining at the end of the school year from the operation of the dances shall be born by Kansai
In connection with the vardity舞 bill amendment, the council passed an ordinance that requires all general activity fee to eliminate the ambiguity of phrasing by placing a period after the word "houn". Also, the ordinance prohibits admission charge for regular variates of 50 cents with the activity book and one dollar to all not presenting an activity fee.
General Activity Fee
The bill will be put into full force and effect following its adoption as provided for in the constitution.
Lloyd Metzler, this year's varsity dance manager, expressed his satisfaction over the amendments with these comments: "I am grateful to the Student Council of the amendments concerning variety舞姿 is most gratifying. It indicates the desire of the council to conduct its business and the students to participate in an efficient and non-partisan basis."

Representatives to Meeting
At last the spending money problem has been solved, with a system that seems to be agreeable to all and that is benefiting all who participate—the dletter lestes. Post Office officials report that hundreds are standing in lines to mail dletter lestes. Post Office officials are complaining about the system, for the stamp buyers are demanding quick service without rest periods.
Alexander W. Graham, postal authority of Kansas City, reports that for the week of April 22 to April 28, inbound mailments to the city totaled $10,107.64 over the corresponding week of 1934 has shown. The increase probably cannot be credited entirely to the chain letters, but largely. The increase is likely to be under the last week's record.
The letters have been circulating on the campus for a few days now, and I have to remind them of the members of the chains. If they are not, perhaps the ones sending the letters are to blame for not giving their letters to persons who will play the

Dalries Frantz was born in Denver, Colo; his father was a business man, his mother a fine lieder singer, native of Wisconsin and trained in this country at Columbia University general education. At 7 Dalies began study of piano; at 9 he was a prodigy. His elementary general and musical education were obtained in Denver, there and in neighboring cities the Dalries and children were often heard 'in concert'.
Studied in Berlin
Going to Berlin with his mother, Dales entered the Huntington School there, earning his way through from 16 by music. Most of his study of the piano was done with Guy Mauer, Arthur Schnabel, and Vladimir Horowitz. He has always been fond of sports, swimming, and wading, swimming several championships as captain on the Huntington School swimming team.
Entering the University of Michigan, he again worked his way through with his music, graduating with highest honors in the competition for solo appearance with the Detroit Symphony orchestra, the Naumburg Foundation competition which carried the opportunity of a New York City competition, the Schubert Memorial Foundation prize. These have given him many important public appearances. Already it has been claimed that Dalies Fraser is deceased and that much work has been achieved by an American-born pianist.
