Fine Arts Faculty Members to Give Vespers Program
Professors Anderson and Moore Will Furnish Organ and Vocal Selections
YEAR'S FINAL SERVICE
Laurel Everett Anderson, University organist, and Miss Meribah Moore, of the School of Fine Arts faculty will offer the final Sunday suesfer organ recital today at 4 p. m. in the University Auditorium. The program will constitute the sixty-third, and final offering for this school year.
Professor Anderson will open the program with "Carillon" by Louis Vierne, one of France's foremost composers. "Carillon" properly defined is a set of bells upon which tunes are played by the machinery of a clock Carillon music, although a novelty in America is in reality an old art. From time to time Carilioneurs of unusual interest were built, and One of the most interesting of the older Carilions is found in the chapel of the Chateau De Lonpont and it is from the chimes of this church that Vierne received his idea for the composition.
Vocal Solos on Program
This selection will be followed by the Prelude to "Lohrengrin" (Wagner) The music is based on the single motive expressive of the sanctity of the Holy Grail of which Lohrengrin is one of the protective knights. The motive start upon the first high notes of the violin choir in the first section. Passing through these two sections, we perceive the entire orchestra rising to a climax and then dying away again to the ethereal harmonies which it began.
Between organ solos Miss Merish Moore will sing two selections, one by Walter Kramer the American composer "Eklog," and the other by Wagner it supplement Professor Anderson's Prelude, "Elasi" Dream* by the same composer and from the same opera "Lohengrin."
Anderson a Noted Composer
Concluding the program, Professor Anderson will offer the "Symphonic de L'Agneau Mystique" (Malaingruelou). He will play depicted the procession down through the ages of the Christian soldiers, the doctors, and the martyrs.
Some of the songs by Professor Anderson have been sung on programs by Miss Ruth Orcutt of the School of Fine Arts faculty. Two of his latest numbers "Poor Puswallowy" and "Content on a Bui" are poems received from the Lincoln School of New York City, which he has put to music. According to the University of Florida's Faculty Department, Vierne, the French composer many times sent his pupils to hear Professor Anderson play the organ.
Professor Anderson, who originated the Sunday Vegeers in 1928 is a graduate of the Oberlin College and has studied in the East and also in Paris. While in France he was the director of music and organist at the American Church of Paris. He has been writing music since 1918, and had compositions featured many times in concerts in the Auditorium.

Wants Shaw Dubbed, "Heap
Big Blather Blather."
London, March 25—(UP) -George Bernard Shaw must not be permitted to leave America "without being created a Red Indian chief replete with eagle feathers, a striped blanket and the tribal title of 'Heap Big Blather Blather,' the usually sedate London Morning Post said editorially today. He was arrived at San Francisco, the post said the United States was being heavily scourged first by bank failures, then by an earthquake and then by the fact that Shaw has "dodged the immigration quota and arrived in the country."
Should anyone have deplored the look of beautiful decorations, they would have found enough patchitude in the churning kaleidoscope of handsomely dressed young women to satisfy the most critical. White marble shoulders framed in rich colored gowns prevented the roving male eye from seeing further than two couples away. One gown at the party is deserving of special comment—it was a high-backed model.
Advisory Board Receives Jayhawker Application
The decorations were rather on the meagre side, but between the warm, drousy lights and the hipnotic music, the deficiency was not observed. (The good critic misses nothing—especially when it is free.) Judging from the rapt expression of dreaming, the brightness of the floor, a troupe of spotted elephants could have been playing leap-frog around the walls, and performed entirely unnoticed.
Will Select Editor and Business Manager of 19:34 Annual
Six Killed in Bombing
It was an unusual Junior From i other respects. Instead of the repress ing formality which the ordinary charac tories these affairs, the gay blades who had been publicly identified毫ently made up their minds to have a good time. And what a time they had Saber-toothed collars and cast iron shirt fronts were completely forgotten when Red Nichols placed an enchanted wand in his tips to lead his band *e* spell binders.
Names and "sales letters" are filed with the editor or manager of this year's book and are by them transmitted, with recommendations, to the advisory committee, after which a hearing is held and each candidate is asked to explain his plans for next year's annual.
"Of course, the whole question of "what sort of Jayhawkier, if any, the University can afford next year, is tied to the ability of students to now be made to induce the student body to put this year's Jayhawk over the top," said Professor Charnley. The committee has held to the belief that students want the Jayhawkler kept going."
Indications point to the usual lively rivalry for the positions, with about as many candidates entered as last year and a half dozen tried out for each place.

"Once in a blue moon," so runs an old Chinese saying—"we have a party like this."
In a dark week filled with depressing, mid-seester quizzes and gloomy weather, the Junior Program Friday night included courses in the fields of University students. After deciding that they might just as well be at home on the farm for all the fur they were having, along comes the spring break when students faith in the schools of a college life.

Old Man Depression Fails to Dampen Spirit of Frivolity at Junior Prom
Peiping, March 25—(UP)—Headquarters of general Hoy-Ying Ching. Chinese minister of war, day issued orders that he would airplanes had bombed a Roman Catholic church at Chien Cheng Ying inside the Great Wall south of Lengkou pass. Six noncombatants were shot and wounded, the communication said.
Applications for the positions of editor and business manager of the 1834 Jayhawk are now being received, according to Professor L. N. Flint, chairman of the Jayhawk advisory committee. Endorsements are being sought by each candidate, including at least two former instructors, in each case.
Red Nichols and his 11 pennies were the bait which lured enough students up on the second floor of the Memorial Union to crowd that imposing dance floor well high to overflowing Stranger for such pennants, there were even unimaginied men. Cagas' to you guys) to keep the girls continually in circulation.
Red Nichols was of course the primary reason for the success of the party. He displayed a fine sense of showmanship by not playing his trumpet continually, but only offering it at rare intervals as a delightful fillin. As a further attraction June Rae sang soulfully into the microphone to sit countless male bosoms. Then so that Tracy's vocal cues felt slighted, Tony Saco whispered sweet nothings into the metallic ear of the "mike."
Phil McKnight deserves an accolade for presenting a party which would have been notable even in more pro-gerous years. It required courage to put on a cost of an expensive band and in these trying cases a crowd of 500 couples that shouldered its way into the Union building Friday night prove the business acumen of the move. Not only a goodly proportion of the student body attended, but they were visiting town as far as upaTepee, Kauai, Punsua, Arkansas City, et al.
McKnight was aided in staging the prom by the two junior managers, Paul Jorgenson and Charles Smith. But it was the varisity dance impressario that made performance performing last minute duties a caunt two hours before the party began.
Chancellor and Mrs. Lindley attended the ashram as chariteser. Dean Agnes Husband and Professor and Mrs. Jack Klister also served in that capacity as chaplain. Ms. Klister c34, Lila Lawn, c34, greeted the arriving couples in the receiving line.
County Benefits by Frat Tax Law, Asserts Kennedy
Commissioner Secs Net Gain; Taxpayers League Will Insist on Collection
LANDON TO GET PLEA
"The county has given the real point it desired—the placing of fraternity property on the tax bills—and so I be- made sure that all those on the law of the recent legislature, cancelling the three years of delinquent taxes, to take its course," X. J. Kennedy, member of the Douglas County commissioners, told the Kansas yesterday.
"Somebody had to furnish the case," Mr. Kennedy explained, "in order to test the constitutionality of the old law (excerpting fraternity properties, and a history of Riley county furnished such a case). The case was long drawn out, and three years of taxes accumulated in the meantime. We had hoped that the supreme court would take some account of this in making its final decision. Unlikely, but necessary, is that in the state will start on an even footing, which, I think, is the better way.
"Of course the county could make use of its share of the past taxes, if they could be collected, but the city and school district have far larger interests. Out of the $33,000 yearly assault against the fraternities, only about $3,500 would come to the county—an amount that would not make a great amount of difference in the farmers' taxes.
"None of these fraternity taxes, since the matter was in litigation, were carried in the county budget, and therefore the cancellation of the taxes will not require the making up of the amount from other sources."
The subject of the back taxes against the fraternities was one of the principal subjects discussed at a special meeting of the Douglas County Taxpayers' League. This association, after discussion in which most of the speakers favored attempting the collection of all back taxes, in spite of the recent decision to extend an asking the county commissioners and the county attorney to proceed with the collection of all back taxes, thus testing the validity of the recent law. A copy of the resolution was ordered sent to Governor M. L. Landon.
Legal Phases Explained
M. A. Gorill of the law firm of Gorill and Larsen, who was a defense attorney for the county in the litigation which resulted in putting the fraeminis on the tax roll, explained legal phases of the cancellation law.
C. B. Hosford, of the Hosford Investment company, expressed the view that the best interests of all concerned were insured if the hack taxes were cancelled.
Remarks by C. H. Freeark from the fraternity angle were cut short by the passage of the resolution.
The Taxpayers' League will meet again before the end of the month.
