Lester's Concern For People Shown In Forceful Talk
Blaming Your Misfortune on Others Leads to Self-Pity, Says Lecturer
By Patricia Lock, c36
"Blaming others for your own misfortunes only leads you into a morace of self-pity and laziness," said Miss Muriel Lester, eminent London social worker, speaking yesterday afternoon before a large audience in Fraer theater. The topic of her address was "Four Elements." Forcelful, uncompromising, yet imbued with a certain silly humor and a wealth of human sympathy, Miss Lester is the embodiment of the philosophy she preaches.
Aid Was Investment
The people are her concern, people of any race or nationality, the workers who build the foundations of our civilization and perform the tasks for which others reap the profits. In her work, as head resident of Kingley Hall, and alderman of her borough in London's West End, she helps to task help to help men and women of the laboring class toward a constructive solution of their problems.
During her term as alderman and later, Miss Lester has seen the people of East London build up an intelligent community, while borough operates its own electric light works, furnishing the district with cheaper electricity and paying higher wages to the employees of the plant The "Metropolitan Boroughs Financial Authority" will establish clinics throughout the area. A free milk fund of $5000 a year was set aside for undernourished small children. "It was not a charity, but a national investment among families because certain income level," said Miss Lester.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1984
When Gandhi stayed in London at Kingsley Hall, it was the dawn time it the history of England that a plenipotentiary of a foreign country, coming on a mission to the court of St. James had so sought out the common people Other emissaries from India demonstrated, on the grounds that they disliked coming to London's East End in order to see him. Gandhi's reply was "We are not going to work is getting to know the people of Europe."
Duke Jubal Dudham Eqian Kingley Hall was founded as a sort of "teedeee" for women, the duke and the dutman were equally welcome." There were no barriers of class, nation, color, or religion. During the War this policy of freedom to all was difficult to maintain in the face of the anti-German propaganda which took the country. But in the words of Ms. Loewe, "the cliciple if it changes with the varying alignments and alliances of a government. Human nature is so grand, so diverse, and yet so simple, when it is not exploited. Without encloyed and prejudices human beings can be deceived by those who would guard one another. There is no division between man and man of different race, except that of temperament."
Miss Lester Believes Wrong Impressor of Europe Have Been Given
NEWSPAPER REPORTS DENIED
"Newspapers sell better when they tell about murder, war, and misery, but the newspapers aren't telling what is really happening in Europe," said Murler Lester yesterday before the night luncheon forum. "The Non-Violence Movement in Europe" was the subject of her speech. She recommended the book, "Young Oxford and War," which has a focus on the lives of a museum, a conservative, a liberal, and a socialist. The book is pacifist through-out.
The Youth Peace Movement started in Switzerland during the War, and has been carried to Britain, France, Germany, and other countries conceived as an international army for the betterment of mankind rather than for destruction. Miss Lester told of the Youth Peace Crusade of 1922, in which she trumped in groups through Western Europe. Their paths converged on Geneva and the disarmament counterpart in London. The difference of vegetarians to which the delegates are all butchers" assist."
They found the common people every where were overwhelmingly pacifist. A cross-section vote in England revealed

Morsacur, Barbara Jane Gallier; Madame, Avanell Bushmeyer; Collette Florence Lebrecht; Madane Bagnausse, Mary Margaret Wei; Le Taurel Juthie Arligh Beidend; Juliana Leppe de Causse, Dovely MoHart
It was a modern audience that heard the great Hangman violinist, Joseph Seigel, playing on the University Concert Course in the auditorium last night. The musicians and music were thrilled by the artists' tunes, the difficult Kreutzer Sonata by Beethoven and Mozart's beautiful Concerto in D Major, but it was the second group of numbers, the modern compositions, the unique music and music brought forth warm applause.
Szigeti Thrills Audience With Forceful Interpretation ♪ Kreutzer Sonata and Group of Modern Compositions
The Brewethen Sonata displayed the marvelous technical skill of the musician, who seemed to put his whole body behind each note giving even the lightest tone a forcal quality which made her movement one. In the second movement one thundered again and again with the same rhythm and emphasis, yet with an imperceptible variation of feeling which made it a passage of beauty rather than of monotony. The concertor brought out the deeper tones of the violin, and the accented passages emphasized the artist's delicate sensibility to tone shading.
By Lena K. Wyatt, c'53
Saiti) by Bloch did not hold the great technical demands of Beethoven, but the music came from the artist, not his instrument, and found a response in the listeners which grew as the program continued.
"The fauna of Arehane" took shape and played again in a月光 garden under the fingers of the musician. The house was lit by candles, to isolate shading, and orient atmosphere was the lowest of the evening. "Bagnetsle in Rouenan Popular Style," with the rhythm and whirling sounds, with the dance was en-hastily received.
A marvel of incessant motion was "Kude in Thinde" by Scribian, arranged by the artist. Finches and bow moved with believable rapidity, and at the end of each piece the plaused until the violinist graciously complied with an encore. The fast vigorous rhythm of the Russian peasant dance characterized "Dame Russie," the music that was written by Stigel was called back several times and replied with three encores.
Sharing honors with the violinist was his accompanist, Nikita de Magaloff. He danced with tense fone tone as brought out in his solo palances gave him a place in the applause.
Records Approved
GLENN CUNNINGHAM
The indoor 1500-meter record or
3:52.2 and the indoor mile record of
4:09.8 which Cunningham set last spring
and celebrated Saturday by the A. A. U.
 convention.
A.A.U. Group Approves Cunningham Records
Former Winner of Sullivan Award Cannot Have Medal Again
Cleen Cunningham's world record mile of 4.679 was approved by the A. U. conference meeting in Miami, Fla., Saturday, along with his marks of 3.522 for the indoor 1500-meter run and 4.088 for the indoor mile.
The convention also established the precedent that no former winner of the Sullivan Memorial medal can receive the award a second time. Although Cunningham was among the four candidates to determine the final list of candidates for the 1934 medal, his name, therefore, was arbitrarily omitted from the list of candidates. William (Bill) Bonthorn of New York, whom Cunningham decem- dated last year by one vote, appears to have received the candidate for the Sulluan award.
Cunningham, who has recently returned from a tour of Japan, has taken up residence in Lawrence again, and will be the teacher's degree in education. He will also review his attempt to run a 401-mile under the supervision of Coach H. W.
Hargira believes that Cunningham ran his record mile at Princeton more than a second better than the official timers' watches showed.
"Lawson Robertson, coach of the American Olympic track team, came to me after the race and said his watch, just out of the jewelry's shop, caught Alonso at 4:06.5. My own watch showed time, but no official time of 4:06.7," said Hirsch.
"I am saying this only to show that they are getting more than 4.04 mark Glenn and I believe he or someone else can achieve."
Colech Hargins argues that Bill Brombrow, Jack Lovehack of England, or Cunningham is capable of doing a 6404 miles with conditions just right. "And it might as well be Cunningham," he added.
Cunningham has decided to compete in the eastern indoor carnival again this winter. Last year the first meet expected to start earlier than expected to start earlier than预期。
When he carols in the Graduate school next semester, he will list his schedule of appearances so that they can be heard by all of the clubs. There is some doubt that he will be allowed to robe as many trigs as he did last year, the reason being that he must have been more time than the undergraduate work which he was doing last year.

It was brought to the campus to satisfy a popular demand for a production of the mystery type that began in 1975 with a double door in the Van Bret museum in which the play is laid. It is from this door that the title of the play is taken. The principal characters around whom the play centers are the Van Bret Brooks and Jane Fletcher and Bernita Brooks, and their brother, Rip Van Bret, played by Farrel Strauss.
