September FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24.1933 VICTORY! After consideration the college faculty has seen fit to grant academic credit to members of the University band, placing them on a par scholastically with the orchestra and the glee clubs. This victory was for the band, accomplished, not by high-handed methods, but by a logical and intelligent argument and a sane procedure. The first public announcement by the musicians stated that if their requests were not complied with by a certain date the band would refuse to play at future University functions. Before that time, however, the ultimatum was withdrawn and the band paraded and played pending anticipated action on its request. This was an intelligent move, because had the band-gone on a "strike" it would have met with disfavor among both the students and the faculty. The members should be complimented on the intelligent and understanding way in which it acted. More would be accomplished, and greater results obtained, not only on the campus, but throughout the United States, if such procedure were the rule rather than the exception. THE FOOTBALL QUEEN The University has never gone into the queen electing business as seriously as many neighboring schools. Some educational institution choose a queen of this or that on the slightest provocation. But since a football is king of collegiate sports, it is no more than fitting that a queen should reign as well. Of all the many occasions when various schools have chosen a queen, there appears to be no better time than at the homecoming football game. Unlike most elections of this kind, the football squad has chosen the woman whom they wished to honor—a proceeding which resembles the selection of an honorary colonel for the R. O. T. C. It is further gratifying to learn that the presentation of the varsity football queen at the Homecoming game will be a relatively simple affair during the between halves intermission. A mock coronation, a throne, and attendants in an elaborate ceremony would have been absurd, although such an occasion is sometimes staged that way. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE CAPS? Where are the freshman caps? Probably better, where have they been all year? Don't the merchants in Lawrence stock them? Or are the freshmen ashamed to wear them? Or don't they want to wear them? At the start of the present school year a few caps could be seen displayed on the heads of first year men, but those few have dwindled to almost none at the present time. Not more than a dozen can be counted on a trip from Fraser hall to the administration building between classes In past years the caps were numerous and almost every freshman wore one, partly because of fear of being paddled and partly to uphold a life-long tradition of the University. A few men were a trifle self-conscious of their position and didn't care so much for the idea but wore them just the same. The blame this year for no wearing the caps cannot be placed on any one single thing. It is partly the fault of the K club, the Men's Student Council and Sachem, for not enforcing the rules and it's partly the fault of the first year men themselves. The merchants have the caps, in fact it's safe to say that a big majority of the Freshmen already have the caps in their possession, but just plainly refuse to wear them. They are not forced to do so and evidently enough is not thought of the university traditions to uphold them, consequently the caps are few and far between. WHAT OF DEMOCRACY? Governmental developments of recent years have been marked by a very pronounced tendency toward dictatorship. Mussolini was the first. Today he is as firmly established in Italy as any king of old, and his methods are strongly akin to those of the despots of the dark ages. Hitler rules Germany with a hand of iron encased in a glove of steel, mocking the ideal of popular government with his race persecution, his farce of elections, and his muzzling of the press. Austria, Poland, Roumania and other of the smaller European nations cringe under the rule of modern trvants. Russia, potentially the greatest nation on earth, turned in the other direction, seeking an escape in Communism, and in fifteen years has made astounding, and in a way, terrifying progress. The recent recognition of the Soviet Republic by the United States heightened the growing realization that the experiment is no longer in an experimental stage, that the communist philosophy is with Russia to stay. What means this revolution against democracy? Are the principles of freedom for which the founders of our government fought outmoded? In 1918 America sent three million armed men to Europe to "make the world safe for Democracy" and brought the entire resources of the wealthiest of nations into play for the cause. We are still paying and will continue to pay for many years the price of our sacrifice. Is it all to go for naught? Did 9,000,000 men die for a dream that is not to come true? At the Concert "His arms and shoulders are so expressive; it is as if the singers were puppets and he had strings to their mouths." That was the comment of a young woman who heard the Hall Johnson choir recital in the University auditorium last night. The term "special" was applied to the audience because it was one attending a concert not on the activity ticket schedule, and for that reason, might be regarded as being a more critical group because of the special interest which led it to buy tickets. During the first half of the program, the balconies were filled, but most of those seated there moved downstairs at intermission. At concerts and programs on the activity ticket schedule the lower floor is usually filled while the gallery seats are nearly empty. That expressiveness, transmitted into the co-ordination of the richly colored voices of the choir which were blended in the interesting arrangements of Nego spirituals by Hall Johnson himself, mae the concert one that brought much repeated applause from what might be termed a "special" audience; an audience which was not satisfied until the choir had rendered five encores. Besides that, there were other encores during the program itself. This choir is most noted for the unusual effects it presents in the singing of Negro spirituals, most of the arrangements feature solo singers with choir background, the entire group gradually working up to a climax and blending with the single voice of the soloist in a thrilling finish. The first number, "What Kind o Shoes You Goin' to Wear," resolved itself in a different fashion, however, as OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Want twenty men to work on turnstiles at Kansas-Missouri game.

Just a noteworthy incident—at the first meeting of a club recently reorganized on the campus no one present gave his address as 1439 Tennessee and his phone number as 721; at the second meeting at which the election of officers took place ten gentlemen gave the above address and phone number; three of this received nineteen votes for offices; one received nineteen votes for president; one of those defeated received seventeen votes and the other only ten votes; the gentleman elected president is a next door neighbor of the other ten, nominated one of the ten for an office, and won by three votes.

MATHEMATICS CLUB: There will be a meeting of the Mathematics club Monday, Nov. 27, at 4:30 in room 211 Administration building. Prof. Seba Eldridge will speak on "Mathematical Procedure in Sociological Work." Visitors are welcome. The soprano singers, the matronly woman who looked as if she could cook wonderful pancakes, and whose voice had the purity of amplified flute notes, and the wilky young colorature voiced girl who sang "It's All Over Me" deserve special mention. So do the contralto with the wavy hair, and the little tenor on the first row of men. PREMEDICAL STUDENTS: did one or two others. In it, the chair sang more softly as the query progressed, and the final notes had an echoing illusion of distance that brought the audience to half-breathing attention. One song in the last group of encores, "Old Black Joe," was sung in a deep bass voice by a very young looking, tail boy in the back row. While his voice did not have the closely knit timbre of the other bass singer, it had something else, a splintery huskiness that became a living thing as it descended to the depths of vocal range in the last part of the song. The audience held its breath when he settled into the two lowest notes. The annual medical aptitude test will be given on Wednesday, Dec. 6, at 1:30 p.m. in room 101 Snow hall. This test is a part of the requirement for entrance into most medical schools. All students who plan to enter medical school next fall, either at the University of Kansas or elsewhere should arrange to take it now, since it will not be given again this year. A fee of one dollar will be collected from each student taking the test. PARKE WOODARD. ED. THOMAS, Vice President. There were so many solosists who demand special attention that there is not space to indicate the true quality and interest of their voices. There was the deep barrel voice of the very black gentleman on the back row; a voice as big and round as the mast of a great sailing ship, and as deep as an almost bottomless pit — perhaps the most distinguished voice in the group The pictures reflected in the interesting arrangements were many: in "Little Black Train," the choir had almost the effect of a gale of wind sweeping across the earth into the sky; in "Mule on the Mountain," the swing of the hammer was reflected by concerted panting that brought considerable amusement to certain chord minded big-wings in and in "Slous Bluetooth." "St. James Intercambio Espanol," the rhythm and chord progressions of jazz went into the audience and was reflected by a concerted swaying and tapping of feet there. A favorite of the audience, principally because he was featured in so many invigorating, rhythmic songs of personal episode, "Eastman - Negro Reel." "Free at Las!" with its "Tup It. I'm Down, sometimes I Almost" Touch the Groun," "Satan Is Mad an 'I'm Glad,' and "Scandalize My Name," was "Glad." down moon faced man whose high bight vocals tone enveloped voice swung high and low above the choir and quickened the imagination of the audience. There was the fine contrialt voice of the woman on the second row who sang the "St. Louis Blues," and won surge after surge of applause from the audience, but whose real beauty of voice was not fully revealed until it again rose out above the voice of the hoir in "Fix Me, Jesus." ELIZABETH HINSHAW, Vice President With what seemed like ironic wit, Hall Johnson presented his last number, "Scandalize My Name." If there was any humorous thrust in that selection, he need have had no worry. There was no one in the audience, if outward manifestations are any indication, who would have scandalized his name or his music after hearing the concert last night. Elliott Penn. gr. Our Contemporaries ... PERSONALIZE YOUR WORLD WITH ... A PERSONAL ACCESSIBLE The repeal of the eighteenth amendment can be either a release or a challenge to American youth. Many have seen in the return of legal liquor an end to hypocrisy and disrespect for law. Others consider the removal of restraint another type of moral danger as well as a decided physical hazard. Certainly laws against drunkenness and against drunken driving in particular, must be much more carefully enforced than before. Arrests for disorderly conduct may prove a more efficient means of protection than technical arrests for "possession" or "transportation" of liquor. But liquor presents to the university student and to university authorities a different problem. In addition to his personal responsibility as a citizen, each student must see that his conduct does credit not only to his institution, but to education throughout the country. It is a recognized fact that most people still consider high education an experiment whose value has not yet been proved. Liquor has never been a stranger to college students, and more than a few tumor magazines have exaggerated this act until the public is more willing to relieve unfavorable reports than favorable ones. University authorities have a problem of their own in this respect. They have the choice of ignoring the liquor question or of imposing unpopular restrictions. The first alternative would place the responsibility entirely upon the students themselves. The second would show less faith in the good judgment of students, and would arouse a certain amount of resentment; nevertheless, it might be an effective blow for the cause of education throughout the country. A California statute prohibits the sale of liquor within one mile of a state University campus. Similar restrictions on the part of the administration would have no effect on the student except when he is actually on the campus. Thus it appears that no matter what action is taken, the ultimate choice rests with the student himself. Whether the University's reputation gains or suffers its principal responsibility of every one of its representatives - California Daily Bruin. COLLEGE STUDENTS AND THE NEXT WAR The question is so complicated that it cannot be solved by a simple formula. The first step must be taken by the public. If the masses of people wish to cease paying the cost of war with their own blood and wealth, then they must increase their interest in foreign affairs. To do this, students must know more about world events if he does not choose to be suddenly swallowed up by them. Earlier in the week the Daily Tar Heel raised some pertinent questions on the subject of war. The first of these questions was about war. Doing—what can we do—about it? With an increased knowledge of world events will come a deeper interpretation of them; and the public—the college students—will begin to appreciate the fallacy of armed intervention to protect “interests.” With a deeper interpretation of events will come a reversal of public opinion. In the final analysis public opinion is the most powerful force in the world. The reason we have had war in the past and the reason why we are likely to possess today is because public opinion has condoned, supported and encouraged war. Thus a reversal of public opinion, brought about by a deeper interpretation of world events, is the first step towards the solution of the war problem. Not until the world is genuinely sick of war can the world be rid of it—Daily Tail Heel. "What'll we do?"
