Concert Numbers Increased to Six For This Season
John Charles Thomas Lates
Addition to Course; Don
Cossack Chorus in
Return Program
Six major attractions make up the offerings for the season 1043-35 of the University Concert course as announced by the college. The first season was unfertilized successful last season to warrant bringing two additional attractions for next season which will be presented to the student body and outside holders without an advance in price.
New attractions not previously announced include a concert by John Charles Thomas, considered by many as America's finest concert baritone. For years there has come repeated requests that this great American artist be brought to Lawrence. He is considered everywhere to be the equal of Lawrence Wilson in the quality of his voice. He will be one of the attractions of the Music Week festival, and the date of his recital is April 29.
Don Cossacks Open Course
Another attraction which will create the greatest interest is the recital by Winifred Christie, well-known Scotch pianist, on the Double-Keyboard piano which attracted such attention at the Century of Progress a year ago. By the use of the combined keyboard and a series of pedals most unusual and sonorous, produced by a talented pianist, Christie will also appear during Music Week on May 2.
The course opens on Nov. 9 with a return engagement of the celebrated Don Cossack chorus which made such a sensational performance, "The Singing Horsesmen of the Steppen," brings some 30 singers, all of them former officers in the Russian Imperial Army: Nothing like this group's singing harp has ever attracted Lawrence.
On Dec. 10 comes the brilliant Hungarian violinist Joseph Liszt, an artist of great concert ability and one who has been decorated with the Hungarian Crusis of the "Odre pour le Morte," the bassoonist of the French "Léon d'Honneur."
Symphony Orchestra Coming On Feb. 20 comes the Kannas City Philharmonic Symphony orchestra in a concert of musician music under Karl Krueger, which will be one of the high lights of the musical season.
The famous English two-piano team Bartlett and Robertson appeared on March 4 in an evening of music for two pianos. They rank equal to Maier and Pattison, the American two-piano combination who played here some four or five years ago. They play with Gabrielle and Winifred on the two-keyboard piano complete the list.
The activity ticket for KU. students means that most of the seating capacity of the auditorium is taken. A limited number of center seats on the main floor and in the first and second balconies have been reserved and set aside for faculty, townpeople and those from out of the city.
Sept. 17 through 19-12,30 a.m.
Sept. 20-10,30 p.m.
Sept. 21 and 22-12,30 a.m.
Sept. 23-10,30 p.m.
Reservations have been coming in for some time, and there is a strong interest already manifest in the attractions billed for the coming season. Season tickets sell for $40, up from the sell for $30 at $45, and $30, according to location, was charged last year.

Kuersteiner Announces Orchestra Organization
Tryouts for Membership in Two Groups to Follow Enrollment
Two K. U. symphony orchestras will be organized this fall under the direction of K. O. Kuerstein. The K. U. Symphony will rehearse twice each week, on Tuesday from 3:30 to 5 o'clock, and on Thursday evening; 7:30 to 9. The K. U. Little Symphony will meet on Wednesday from 3:30 to 5.
Enrollment during the regular enrollment with or without credit is required of all students interested in orchestral music. Auditions will be allowed each member for proper placement. These tryouts will be announced later and held at an early date. Complications resulting from poor enrolment will be with individually by the conductor.
The main purpose of these orchestras is the serious study of the great literature available for such groups, and the history of their music from the classic and romantic schools, will include numbers of a definite modern quality. The "Sorcerer's Apprentice" by Dukes, and "Call of the Beast" by Baxter are planned for an early appearance.
Both orchestra will broadcast from time to time over the university radio station, KFKU. Joint appearances of the two groups are again planned. Dean Swarthout has already expressed his desire to have the orchestra participate in the All-Musical Vespers. Credit is allowed for orchestra work by the school, School of Education, and School of Business. The credit for the Symphony is one hour per semester and for the Little Symphony, one-half hour.
This year, for the first time, pledge lists of the fraternities and sororites are available simultaneously. Hereofore, the men have completed their rush season by Sunday night, and have "yelled in" the new members at 10 o'clock on the same evening, while the women's organizations have taken until Monday no to complete their selections. The women's preferential dinners, which previously have been given Sunday evening, with final selections made Monday noon, were advanced to Saturday night, with the final selections at the office of the dean of women late Sunday afternoon, followed by pledging services in the several houses at 8 p.m.

Endowment Office Robbed
Stamps and Summerfield Scholarship Checks Taken in Theft
Ten dollars in stamps and a number of unsigned checks were taken from the office of the Endowment Association in the Administration building Friday noon by robbers who pried open the door while the secretary of the association, Prof. Olin Templem, and his assistants, Floy Boynton, were out to lunch.
Professor Templin and Mrs. Boynton believe that the thieves were after the money which is to be paid Summerfield scholars at this time. The checks which were taken by the robbers had been seized, but since they were not signed, they are worthless unless an attempt to forge the signatures is made. Friday was a busy day for the Endowment association, and it is thought by authorities that the thieves believed that payments to the Summerfield college would be received cash. Selecting a time when there was no in the office, the burglaries pried the door open with a heavy tool. Every desk in the office had been ransacked in the hunt for valuables. The checks were lying on Professor Wiley's desk in the library, waiting to arrive.
It is believed by the police that the robbery was done by persons who were familiar with the business of the Endowment association.
Hospital Will Give Tests
All New Students to Receive Thorough Physical Examinations
The University of Kansas Health service will again this year give through physical examinations to all new students, whether they are freshmen, students from other colleges, or graduate students. These examinations will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 18 and 19, on appointments made at the time of registration. These examinations are sufficient for life insurance or army entrance.
Examinations will include a test for tuberculosis. The University of Kansas in common with several other universities throughout the country which have student health services, is giving students a second reaction to tuberculin tests. The result of such tests will be published in the latter part of the year.
