--one of the highlights of the evening's program came when James Van Dyke, solo baritone player of the band, stepped to the conductor's place to lead the organization in his own composition, "The Spirit of the Red and Blue," a march dedicated to the University. The march is one to commend its composer, and the University of Virginia's choir, as well as its contribution to the list of University spores.

Fan Mail on the Pi Phi-Phi Delt
Banquet . . We Never Mention
the Beta's. Who Swiped Ling
Po? . . Things and Stuff.
We don't want to bore you with another installment of the same thing again and again but this happens to concern the Pi Phi's and the Pi Deltis and we know you'd be interested in the Pi Phi's anyway. It's a letter received in this morning's flood (?) of water here goes.
Dee Joubery:
A. Diner
Remember the Pi Phi invitation the Pyle sisters gave the entire Phil Delt chapter for dinner last Sunday? Well, it was accepted to the tune of about 30 unexpected and hungry guests. (We already know it was accepted you dove—didn't you read yesterday's paper?) They sweeped down en masse (or is it mousse) and bodily took possession of the fair damselfly 'abode in a too successful attempt to scare the poor girls into thinking they were really going to dine. And were they surprised when the ladies fair announced dinner!!'
I know it isn't your policy to throw bouquets around—but since this one goes to Mrs. MacLean for being the perfect hostess, perhaps an exception will be made. She could very easily and politely have put a stop to the joking, but instead she turned the tables on her nephew. The meal fit for a king, and a good time they'll never forget. (Excuse us, we almost said, "Oh, Yeah?")
P. S. It's too bad you couldn't have been there to give a play-by-play description, because it was really very entertaining. (And that doesn't sound at all like one of the Phi Dells might have written this does it!) To show that water is not just for glasses of water were turned over in the first ten minutes. A.D.
Well, that probably fits that little bit of excitement between the two clubs—they'll get a bill for this advertising the first of next month.
A friend who borrowed our Union fountain costume this morning told us that he saw Lyman Field and Charles Anderson "in the Union with their political heads together—looked almost like they were kissing each other!" Now we know politics is necessary but after all boys. . .
For years we've heard about the way Beta Theta Pi means to the lads than a million bucks would to a starving musician and we believed it until we heard the following story. Of course you'll have to take into consideration the fact that the principal officer of the band actually felt that fact alone still doesn't make it seen right. Last week Jack DeMotte went down to the Beta house with some friends and after a while happened to fall asleep on a divan. Well, that happened to be the day that the house party in the City was to take place at the Nichols cabin and the boys were leaving the house without one no one left but Jack and it didn't bother him much because he was still asleep but we understand that he did feel a little strange when he was wakened the next morning by the house man and told that he and Buddy the canine had been the only "boys" in the house. How could a fraternity leave their poor dog alone in the basement? You'd have to still think they had an organization to be looked up to". suppose they think they can have all the fun and not let Jack and Buddy have any at all.
Things and Stuff: Saw a lad at a party Saturday night complete in white flannels, dark coat, stiffly-starched white shirt, dark tie dark, and a couple of high school class pins on the lapel of his coat! . . saw a Hi-Y pin yesterday in the library—some people just won't give up . . . The way the girles of a local lodge roared about to one Plymouth couple and then go down the campus with one or two standing in the rumble seat reminds us of the two girls singing the "Stars and Stripes Forever" in front of Fraser the other day and also of high school days that would be better in the past.

Band Concert Pleases Appreciative Audience
Athletes Who Will Appear in Relays
Varied Program Presented Under Direction of Prof. Wiley
The University of Kansas Band, a symphonic band under the direction of Prof. Russell L. Wiley, entertained and delighted a large and appreciative audience last night in the University auditorium. Playing a difficult but extremely well rounded program, the band proved itself the capable organization that Professor Wiley has built up this year.
The program opened with the beautiful, melodic "Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 2" by Franz Liszt. This composition is an arrangement of the most famous of the fifteen Hungarian Rhapsodies for piano by Liszt. By the use of characteristic folk themes and the peculiar rhythms, the spirit of the Hungarian people is displayed in a remarkable way.
Perhaps the most difficult and enjoyed number of the entire program was the overture, "The Year-1812," by Tichałowsky. The composer wrote this celebrated overture at the institution of his friend Nicholas Rubinstein for the dedication of the Temple in 1880. The temple was erected to commemorate the stirring events of the year 1812, when Napoleon found Moscow in flames and was compelled to undertake his disasterous retreat. The overture, reflected these same events. One of the striking features of the overture is the remarkable example of the composers ingenuity in instrumentation when he initiates the cheering of his audience. This was worked out most effectively by the band and merits great credit for Mr. Wiley and his organization.
The concert was closed by the band playing the "Crismon and the Blue." The band has developed into as fine an organization of this kind as can be found in this part of the country and certainly the University should be proud and honored by the performance that was given last night.

To Enforce Probation Rule
Participation In Extra-Curricular Activities Will Be Prohibited
Historic Easter Season Brings Joy to Millions
The administrative committee of the College of Liberal arts, to which was referred the matter of barring students on scholastic probation from participation in extra-curricular activities reported to that body yesterday afternoon that such a regulation had been in the course of being enacted. The faculty voted to enforce the rule.
The faculty also adopted a new rule governing the taking of foreign language for credit by students who had begun the study of the language in high school. Students who had taken a year of a language in high school, at least two years previous to the time they waived to resume the study in the University, may enroll in the beginning University course for full credit if they have had two years of education there. You must either the first or second semester of the language in the University. Credit thus earned is provisional, requiring that the student complete an additional course in the same language.
The old rule, permitting students offering units of high school foreign language to take the University course for three-fifths credit still stands.
Elaborate Spanish Festivities
Probably one of the most elaborate and
festive events in Mexico.
As American college students are anticipating the return to their homes to celebrate the joy of Easter with their families, in the children of the church and in the will, the customary egg hunts and the changing stories of the Easter bunny and his adventures it is timely for us to think of the variance of Easter customers in different parts of the world.
By Eleanor Winters, c'unel
This Holy Week millions of Christians throughout the world bring to a close their special Lenten observance in preparation for the great Easter festival, which is second in importance only to Christmas. Again, millions of Christians look forward to hearing the story of the resurrection of Christ.
the world, is the one which is held each year in Scillie, Spain. For a week preceding Easter Sunday, there are parades, games, songs, bands, and bull fights; anything that is noisy is included in the festivities. The parades include expensive costumes, magnificent floats, and large wooden statues, and they are known the world over for their grandeur and beauty which have done so much to help make Spain famous involve the usual guaiety and gambling.
Other parts of Spain have celebrations little different from our own. Hunting Easter eggs, a custom followed practically all over the world, is popular in Spain, and of course, there are services in the church and home.
The French recognize Easter as having the same importance as Christmas.
