Organ Recital to Be Today Laurel Everette Anderson Will Present Program in University Laurel Everettte Anderson, University organist will present an organ recital this afternoat m 4. 0'clock in the University auditorium. His first number will be "Canzon" by Joham Keapas Kerr. The canzona is one of the earliest known forms of instrumental music, which was developed in the course of the adaptation of the chorus music of the church to instrumental music. This particular canzona was written about 1680. "La Chanson du Berger" by George Jacob, a French shepherd's song, will be Mr. Anderson's second number. He is the narrator of Prolude on a Calvinist Hymn. The composer of this number, Leo Sewerius, is one of the youngest of the composers in the new American school of composers. His work had a rapid rise in the past decade. The last number will be J. S. Bach's "Pseudalium in A Minor." The work is based on a single rhythmic idea, which, with its various developments, furnishes the entire content of the composition. In contrast to this, Mr. Anderson will present us his next number, "Amurayllis" an excellent example of the old French rondo, in which one theme reappears again and again in alternation with contrasting themes.

The letter appears on the back of the tablet, taken from old North College, commemorating the building. Some sort of a note to iDo authorities was expected in keepin with the imna destruction, but wa not found. The Rock Chalk Cairn, which has been the scene of impressive ceremonies in the life of the University since its erection in 1292, spread in an仰仗 shape toward the north of the Administration building today. Stones and upturned dirt art churned into a mess of twisted debris, while the proud bronze plaque, which preached its inspirational message, lies with its face buried in the soil. Officials Search for Clues School officials and prominent students were at a loss to account for; a motive. Whether the act was a futile gesture of revenge against the University or a perverted desire for excelsiorism, the attendant publicity, is not known. Othaliae Secrets for chiefe Early early day morning when an emergency call comes to the hull to class discovered the cattered monument, scores of persons have visited the ruins. Among the first to view the scene were officers of the Douglas county sheriff's office who with George Snyder, campus bulldozers, shortly afterwards, Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chanelleen, Pro Senator Goffi Dies CONDENSED WIRE NEWS Thomasville, Ga., Jan. 7.

Bank Failures Increase New York, Jan. 7. —(UP)—An in crease in bank suspension throughout the United States was reported by the American Banker for the week end Thursday Jan. 5. During this perio 51 of the country's banks closed the doors, making it the heaviest wee since last February. Five previous suspended institutions reopened business. (essor J. J. Wheeler, University marshal, Henry Werner, men's student advisor, Professor W. C. McNowan, professor of civil engineering, and T. A. McManaim explored the debris in an effort to learn the means by which the pile was wrecked. Professor McNown and McManaim, who recently returned from Canadian coal fields, also helped give us their opinion no explosive was used. Their theory is that the earth was showed out from under the foundation until the vandals were able to topple over the cairn. As evidence for their belief, they pointed out the fresh soil and the unscarred rocks. Two or more persons were needed for the job they agreed. The original theory that dynamites was employed for the destruction gained credence because several of the stones were as for 40 feet from the monument. Also, two women, one man and an unidentified an explosion in the night. Their house was the nearest to the Rock Chalk Pile, and although in separate rooms, they crenudated on the time of 1:15 and between 1:15 and 1:45 am. Saturday. Dinmore Alter, professor of astronomy, who lives in the other direction from the Rock Chalk pile on West Campus, also heard an explosion close by. Alter spoke of the noise as something like the firing of a cannon. Captain J. P. Zauzick, explosive expert , a military science department, could not be reached yesterday for an opinion on the method of destruction employed. He returned to avonage last night after a hunting trip with Major W. C. Koenig, head team of the H.W.C. expected both would be called in today, to examine the ruins and give their theory. Carmil was constituted in 1928 Professor Werner was successful in finding a solution which may lead to the apprehension of the criminals. A Jan. 3 issue of the *Kansas City Star*, in which the pain can be carried, revealed several fingerprints. The fingerprints and samples of the paint were sent to Tepocha, where the prints will be photographed. Chemist John Porter succeeded in learning who manufactured the paint and where it was sold. The paint used in the defacing of the campus some years ago was likewise analysed. The manufacturer and retailer were traced in this way. According to Raymond Nicolas, this is the first use of vandalism on the campus of the model of the *demoral Union* ten years ago. Vandals destroyed the cardboard model while it was on display. The Rock Chalk Plain was constructed in 1928 by the joint efforts of Schemel, senior men's honorary society, and the more "white" Student Council. The purpose of the plaque is to record the traditions of the University. As an additional feature, stones were to be added commemorating important events and distinguished graduates. The inscription on the bronze plaque reads: "Dedicated to the vision of the founders of the University of Kansas and to those who helped faithfully to Scene of Many Events In past freshman initiation and graduation exercises, the cairn has occupied a prominent position. Glenn Cunningham, ed34, Olympic star, was one of the visitors yesterday who viewed the fallen monument. Only last fall, he visited the tomb from the cairn to the stadium where the freshman initiates watched. A few years ago, hoodlums removed the bronze plaque from the monument, and carried it several blocks away. It was deposited on the front porch of a house, where it was found the most secure. It is cairn Cunningham. The culverts are never found. Student leaders were unofficially discussing today the possibility of the Rock Chalk Cairn being rebuilt. It was believed that it would not be difficult, since the materials were at hand, and masonry would be at, or would be required. At me, this early week student orientation is taught such a course, although defacation depends on the attitude of the Men's Student Council and Sachem.
