Experiments Show Women Are Less Talkative Than Sterner Sex
Are women more talkative than men?
Do women react more quickly than men? Will future airplane pilots be found to be a larger per cent women than men? No, say students of the psychology department of the University of Southern California, in answer to each of the above questions.
A recent experiment made by these students exploded the traditional theory that women are more talkative than men. In a rapid vocabulary test, in which men and women were told to write as many words as they could think of in a limited amount of time, the male students thought of the longer list.
Although an Eastern scientist has asserted that in the future the majority of airplane pilots will be women, the chronoscope has disproved this statement, for prospective pilots are judged a great deal on the result of the chromo-Periscope. Perhaps more Linbadog and fewer Angelica Earhart are forthcoming.
A second test to find the comparative speed of reaction of men and women was taken. An apparatus called the chromoscope was used, the vibration of the voice temporarily breaking the electric current passing through a sensitive diaphragms in the machine. A stop watch which measured to the hundredth of a second recorded the span of time between the administered stimulus and the spoken answer, and again the displayed quicked perceptive powers.
Many Present at Vespers
Eighteenth Century Instruments Heard on First All-Musical Program
A large audience assembled in the University auditorium Sunday afternoon to hear the first All-Musical Vesper program of the School of Fine Arts.

These two artists played two eighteenth century instruments, the viola damba and the harpichord. They were assisted by Professor Waldemar Geltch, a professor at Mount Sinai Medical M. Searshott, cellist. They presented a complete quartet by Teleman.
Mr. Abbas next presented "Tacenta"
by Prescobald. Mr. Abbas is one of the
few players of the viola damba.

University Pays Tribute to Late Dean J. G. Brandt
Students and Faculty Join in Commemoration of Former Head of College
The University of Kansas pusued today from its usual duties to pay tribute to the memory of the late Joseph Granger Brandt, for 12 years dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Regent, faculty member, student, and Chancellor, in turn spoke of the late dean's fairness, his honesty, his unselfish fish service, and a memorial in music came from the School of Fine Arts. He overflowed with faculty and students.
Drew McLaughlin of Paola, member of the Board of Regents, presided in the absence of Chairman C. M. Harger, and spoke briefly from experience as a patron of the University before he had been made a regent.
"I recall with pleasure Dean Brandt's kindly consideration for the problem which as a parent I brought to him. More than buildings, a university depends upon the spirit of helpfulness that its faculty brings to its tasks."
Dean J. G. Brandt will have a definite effect on the students and faculty of the college for decades to come, Dean E. B. Stouffer pointed out in paying his tribute to Dean Brandt today. He was speaking on behalf of the Chancellor's cabinet.
Dean Stouffer Speaks
"The college of liberal arts and sciences is the nucleus of the modern university," Dean Stouffer observed, "and the dean of the college is its guiding hand. Students in the college are preparing for all walks of life, and for advanced works in some of the specialized or graduate schools.
"Dean Brandt carried on the work of managing the college in a very efficient manner. He worked incessantly with a total disregard for his personal interests. He never evaded any responsibility, but was always careful not to overstep his rights," Dean Stoffer concluded.
Johnson Represents Senate
Dean Brandt's life was held on definite philosophical principles," said W. S. Johnson, speaking for the University senate and college faculty, "and the first of these was the Wordworthian principle of simplicity. In his daily life, in the upbringing of his children, this was always demonstrated."
"Another of these principles, according to the speaker, was the Greek ideal of measure and balance. Dean Brandt's idea of a broad, well-rounded culture as opposed to one that is unstructured unto practice in his own life, uphold his faith in the liberal education.
"I would not wish to overprise a man who stood always for the truth," said Professor Johnson. He spoke of Dean Brudnitz's sacrifice in giving up teaching to take over the administrative work which he considered his duty. "He was too conscious for his own good," the speaker declared.
NUMBER 48
"His day was filled with appointments, yet he was concerned that he had not met more of those discouraged students. He was so unselfish in the budgeting of his time that he never took that afternoon off that would have been so beneficial to his health. He never broke faith with himself or with his assol-
"Dean Brandt was never too busy to listen to the story of the discouraged student," said Maurice Rice, c 34, speaking from the students' point of view.
Lindley Recalls Acceptance
Chinchero-Jimmy Recalled his own coming to the University 13 years ago, with the first immediate problem that of the students. He recalled the College "I recall vividly the spirit of humility with which he assumed the assignment as dean. His attitude across the years has been that of the first president of Johns Hopkins—a great "inside" man. He did not seek public contacts, nor public praise for his work.
"Because of Dean Brand's influence this faculty has seldom developed 'temperament,' such as some colleges experience. Under his leadership, the faculty members discovered that temperament is not essential to culture.
"As dean of the College, he was responsible for the expenditure of great sums of the state's money, and for the relationship of a large faculty group to a small department of the absent interest, and was ever a part to every division of the University.
"It is the foundation such as has been said by Dean Brandt that will bring the debate to a climax."

Red Hair Will Admit Bearers to Frost Frolic Without Charge
If you have been kidded all your life about having red hair, now is your chance to get even.
All red-haired couples who attend the Freshman Frolic next Friday night in the Memorial Union will be admitted to a rehearsal at 10am, then topped on orchestra leader, Red Nichols.
The Freshman Frolic, the first of the class parties, will have the dance band which scored such a hit at last year's Junior Prom. Red Nichols and his 11 students attended this class party as the first stand after an engagement at a Kansas City hotel.
"In view of the success Red Nichols had here last year," said Lloyd Lane, varsity dance manager, "we are expecting one of the greatest crowds of all time at a University party. With one of the best dance bands in the country and a four-hour party, we are looking forward to filling the ballroom."
Although Red Nichols usually carries an impressive group of entertainers with him, his own prowess with the trumpet always is the principal feature of his band. He is generally said to be the best concertian on this instrument in the world.
In making the announcement of free tickets for red-haired couples, Lane explained that there would be no quibbling as to the degree of color. He did warn against dying the hair especially for the occasion, however.
Hall Johnson to Appear With Eighteen Singers Popular and Folk Songs to Be Presented on Program
The Hall Johnson Negro choir which was on the University concert course last year is scheduled to appear again Thursday in the University auditorium. The choir is comprised of 18 singers, led by Hall Johnson. This group will present traditional songs and age-old Negro folk songs. They will sing the songs of their forehearers, not in Moody and Smoky hymn fashion, but in free, expressive harmonies that have held their previous audiences spell-bound.
Of the spiritual numbers that will be presented, Mr. Johnson says, "We attempt to present these traditional melodies in a manner that will reproduce the spirit and fervor of the camp meeting which gave them birth. My effort," he continued, "in the arrangement of these songs is to retain the spirit and experience of the campers deal with the simple amusements and honestly interests of the Negro and voice his effort to lighten his toll by rhythmic movements."
All of these songs, however, are not spiritual songs. There are "devotional songs," "episode songs," "songs of religious experiences," and popular numbers. There are numbers like "The Saint James Infirmary Blues," "The St Louis Blues," "Water Boy," and "Dis Ois Ole Hammer."

Blunt Resolution Passed by House at Special Session
Committee to Investigate Alleged Discrimination Against Negro Students
The committee will investigate especially the School of Medicine and the R. O. T. C. department.
Topeka, Nov. 21—(UP)—The Blunt resolution providing appointment for a committee of three to investigate charges of discrimination against Kenyan students at the University of Kansas assisted by the house of representatives.
Chancellor Lindley said today that the committee's investigation as to conditions will be welcome by the University.
Regarding admission of Negro students to Bell Memorial hospital, Dean Harry Wahl said that no facilities are available. The Medical School has for a number of years, petitioned the legislature for an appropriation to install adequate equipment at Bell Memorial hospital for the use of Negro students. These appropriations have not materialized.
In the last six or eight years no Negro students have passed the requirements for admission to the hospital. These requirements are the standard requirements that have been in use at the University School of Medicine for a number of years and all pre-graduate students must pass Ball Memorial hospital must pass them. At the present time no Negro students are enrolled at the pre-medic school. Last year only one Negro student was taking pre-medic work.
In the R. O. T. C. department, conditions parallel those of the School of Medicine, Major Koenig said that Negro students are welcome to take R. O. T. C. work at the University, but as there are also many law lyrery regiments, it is impossible to place them after graduation in any reserve officers unit.

The attractive covers for the magazine will arrive shortly and will be ready for distribution.
