In Concert Tonight
LAWRENCE. KANSAS, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1934
Evelyn Swarthout, who has just returned from two years in England, is the daughter of Dean and Mrs. D. M Swarthout.
Mr. Preyer's piece is an unusual composition. It has melodic themes and, in the first passage particularly, quite modern tendencies. It is rich in harmonies. The first portion seems German in style with wide sweeps of color, but the piano is the most orchestra contrast, one against the other, again and again.
The orchestra and Miss Orcutt gave splendid performances. At all times each complemented the other skillfully.
Following the "Konzertstuecke" the three Hilger Sisters, Maria, Greta, and Elsa, guest artists of the program, appeared together in "Trio, Op. 40" (Mana-Zucca), which exhibited the unity and perfect harmony of the Austrian musicians.
The first number of last night's concert was the maiden voyage of Professor Carl Preyer's new composition "Konzerntaecke" for piano and orchestra, played by the University Symphony Orchestra, with Karl Kueisterstein directing, and Miss Ruth Orcutt taking the solo part at the piano.
Iilger Trio and Preyer Number Please Audience
The third group of numbers consisted of two cello solos, "Kol Nedriel" (Bruch) and "Moses Fantast" (Paganini-Hilger) by Elsa Hilger. The second number, played on one string, was characterized by unbelievable harmonies and gave full opportunity for the display of the artist's brilliant technic.
Presentation of 'Konzert stuecke' Precedes String Music
The final number was the masterpiece "Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano, Op. 56" by Beethoven, played by the Hilger Sisters accompanied by the University Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Dean Swarthout.
The University of Kansas golf team will compete in the Inter-Collegiate Golf Championship, held in conjunction with the Heart of America Championship, in Kansas City May 17. Play will be a 36 hole medal competition over Indian Hills and Milburn golf courses. There will be individual competition, two man team competition, and four man competition.
During the concert a storm had arisen and when a rumble of thunder sounded during the final number Elsa Hilger found it amusing, smiled, and tossed her head as she continued playing. Her work was characterized by a vibrant energy throughout the performance.
The University Symphony orchestra gave an exhibition of fine orchestral work in the Beethoven number. Its performance greatly aided the artists in the excellence of their presentation.
Golf Team Members Named
Walter Emery, Oklahoma star, who won the Inter-Collegiate last year, will be back again this year. He will also lead the Oklahoma team that won the team matches last year. Many other schools have entered and the tournament promises to be a fast affair this year.
The following men qualified for the University of Kansas golf team: Ned Emby, c34; Johnny Walker, l36; Dore Reed, c1uml; and Heinie Gleigy, c43. These mmen were the low four that qualified over 36 holes of medal play at the Lawrence Country Club Tuesday and yesterday.

Engineering Vote Heavier This Year Survey Indicates
Controlling Council Charges Made Against Fraternity in Handbill This Morning
at 2:30 p.m. today the number of votes cast in the annual Engineering election had reached 200. Election judges said that if the men continued to cast their ballots in as great numbers that a record vote would probably be recorded. The Engineering polls were to close at 8 p.m.
At noon today 150 engineering students had cast their vallots for members of the Engineering council for next year. The candidates to be elected include those of the major offices, and departmental and class representatives.
The appearance of a handbill, alleged to have been the work of an unknown coalition group, and which set forth charges against one of the professional engineering fraternities this morning, broke a precedent for that school. The handbills were said to have been posted and subsequently removed sometime between 12 p.m. yesterday and 8:20 a.m. today. Only shreds of the bills remained in Marvin hall, where the balloting is taking place, this afternoon.
The early vote indicated that the balloting this year would be much heavier than last year when a total of 222 votes were cast. Indications pointed to a close election.
Members of the engineering school, as a body and individually, denied any knowledge of the handbills, although there were numerous witnesses who said that the bill charged Theta Tau had controlled the Engineering council for the past few years and was attempted to abolish it. One of the other professional fraternities of the school, also denied any knowledge of the handbills.
It was rumored that the names of all this year's candidates who were members of the fraternity were listed on the bills, and that the voters were admonished not to let themselves be governed by a "group of 30 men."
Election officials called attention to the fact today that the name of John Romine, c'unel, candidate for mechanical representative had been omitted from the list of candidates previously printed. Loren Craig, c'36, and Frank Neal, c'35, are the men who will oppose Romine for the office.
Howard Is Banquet Speaker
5. C. Art Institute Director to Address Fine Arts Group
Rossiter Howard, director of the Kansas City Art Institute, will be the principal speaker at the Fine Arts Day banquet which will be held this evening at 6 o'clock in the Memorial Union building.

He held this position for three years.
Later he became educational director of the Minnesota Institute of Arts; and from 1921 to 1925 was curator of education work and classical art at the Cleveland Museum of Art. In 1925 he was made assistant director of Cleveland Museum, and served in this capacity until 1930. He was chief of the division of education at the Peninsula School of Arts from 1930 to 1932, and in 1933 he served as principal of the School of Industrial Art in Philadelphia.
The Entomology Club will hold a picnic Saturday, May 12, on the west side of the Lake state. The members are to meet at Snow hall at 8:30 a.m. The picnickers will hunt specimens for their collections in the morning.
In order to permit faculty and students to attend the funeral of the late Prof. A. L. Owen, no班 will be held Friday afternoon.

Nelson Art Gallery For Middle West, Says J. C. Nichols
Speaker at Convocation Believes Museum Will Be Most Beautiful in World
"The William, Rockwell Nelson Gallery of Art is not for Kansas Citians alone, but for the whole of the middle west," J. C. Nichols, Kansas City Architect, said in an address before an all-University convocation in the University auditorium this morning. "14 trustees intend to add to it until they have made it the most beautiful museum in the world."
Aim to Portray All Ages
Special music for the convocation was furnished by the combined glee clubs and the University band. Chancellor Lindley announced the names of the six Fine Arts students who had been chosen from the highest 25 per cent of the senior class in music to membership in Pi Kappa Lambda, national honorary musical society. The followingRaymond Lawrenceen, Theo Russell, Raymond Lawrenceen, Joelsen Jensen, Mudge Craig, Wilma Stoner, a and Charles Wilson.
Continuing his talk, Mr. Nichols said that representatives of the art gallery have "journed into the glories of Greece and the grandeurs of Rome for specimens of the civilization of those people." We have endeavored to represent the Middle Ages of Europe, the Renaissance, and later centuries. We have also searched our own continent for examples of our native art. We are particularly anxious to make our gallery excel in American Indian art."
"From the prehistoric cave man down to the present hour," Mr. Nichols declared, "it is interesting to note how each civilization evolved its art. After the struggle for food and shelter, man has ever turned to artistic adornment of physical objects in his daily life which is evidenced in his mode of living, the clothes he wore, the design of his canoe, and his weapon of war."
Calls Art Vital and Active
The speaker continued by saying that art becomes a wonderful record of history which is important in filling in the missing links of the past.
Calls Art Vital and Active
“Art,” he said, “is a message from the millions who have gone before us. It is vital to you in art.” It tells your soul with the story of the past and give you a better understanding of what has gone before.”
"We wish this great institution to become a rallying place for higher ideals and aspirations in the Middle West," Mr. Nichols asserted, "and to crystallize a great love for beauty and a fresh enthusiasm for living. It will enhance our lives as well as the achievements of the people of the past, and cause you to face your own lives with a greater determination to achieve."
"We want you to come to Kansas City frequently," the speaker concluded, "and make the Nelson gallery and collection your own."
Mr. Nichols showed some illustrated slides of the various rooms of the gallery and some of the famous paintings and objects of art.
Salt Lake City HI
Ten Members Discuss Plans for Reorganization of Club
A recent meeting of K.U. alumni in Salt Lake City—alumni whose graduation dates range from 1899 to 1932 —seems to prove that Kansas loyalty is as permanent in later years as it was when proud graduates domned the cap and gown and marched down the slopes of Mount Oread.
Salt Lake City Alumni Meet
Ten members of the K.U. Alumni association of Salt Lake City, and two guests, met at the home of Mrs. Delia Keeler Culp, "22, to discuss new officers and re-organization of the club. Time was also taken to examine the University, material which was contributed by the alumni association.
Twenty-seven persons are on the roll of the Salt Lake group. The 10 regular members were present at the meeting. The guests were Noll Reeze, '32, of Kansas City, Mo, and Phil Keeler, '32, of Scottsdale.
Finish Spraying Trees
The spraying of the trees on the campus for the canker worm will be finished today, the department of Buildings and Grounds has announced. Tulip beds, which have finished blooming, will be replaced by ceraniums.
