TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1931 YOUR COLUMN Spring is in the air and laziness reigns supreme, but there is one thing that everyone ought to do and that is think occasionally. Without being rash enough to suggest any long labious thought, may we invite just a little speculation on affairs about the campus? Not everything in the University is absolutely perfect; and a dash of constructive criticism might do a little bit of good. The power of the press is not omnipotent, but the University Daily Kansas has accomplished a few reforms. Once upon a time the library doors opened in, and we talked enough in this column that they finally opened them outwards, and we remarked so often and so pointedly that the clock was not running that we finally got it started. Last winter during the long snow this benevolent paper fed hungry birds with seed that Lawrence merchants donated, and there was enough left over so that the mice in the journalism building were well fed this winter while the birds outside were enjoying our California weather. This paper, official student publication as it is, runs a campus "Campus Opinion," which is designed to be a place where student opinion can express itself freely. The names of writers are withheld from publication, but must be signed as an evidence of good faith, and the only limitation is that purely personal attacks and obscene language is prohibited. This column is the peculiar property of every student or faculty member on the campus, or any other interested person. Communications are published as they are written, and if they conform to the stated conditions of publication and are not subjected to any revision. There are many things about which students have definite ideas, and they are urged to write them out and contribute to the student column. Plenty of controversial subjects offer opportunities for differing opinions. One can always talk about the liquor situation, politics (there are always the old people like you) or how inefficiently the "in" are running things) and there are always faults of our educational system that can be discussed. Whenever any set of circumstance-produces a mood of rebelliousness or protest and there is a desire to "tell'em a thing or two," we offer you "Campus Opinion" as a place to express your convictions, subject only to the limitations mentioned. The Kansan likes to print constructive criticism or merited commendation for work done, but all contributions, regardless of point of view, are welcome. MUSICAL OPPORTUNITY We are in the midst of the annual music week, which brings a host of entertainments to those who appreciate good music. Albert Spalding, the master violinist, last night thrilled his audience by the power and delicate beauty of his art Wednesday night Percy Grainger, who his four-day rehearsals in Lawrence, will present some of his own compositions with the glee clubs, the symphony orchestra, the organ and several pianos. But it is not renowned artists only who will entertain us. Mac and his band will give a band concert this evening at 7 in front of the Administration building. Perhaps this is the last month of school but every student should avail himself of some of these programs. Through the efforts of the leaders in our cultural life, this week has been made possible. The University should be grateful for their efforts. FROM A DISGRUNTLED BACHELOR An embittered young bachelor has written his idea of the modern young woman in an article in a popular magazine, and judging from his remarks he must have encountered some exacerbating women. He has little good to say about the modern miss and the only thing about the article is that a man professes such a distaste for members of the fair sex, and reiterates his indifference, should devote a whole magazine article to them. Some of the things he says about them are: "Each generation comes home from college with the idea of sex equality, that women are as strong as men, as brilliant and as brave."** Her long red fingernails seem to threaten the young man's throat. Scarlet lips and fringed eyebrows stare out of face as pailid as the whited sepulchre." The man leaves an impression that he really does not like women, but one can view with understanding the ravings of man disappointed in love. Jilling would be the only possible explanation for such a rabid distaste for charming individuals as some women DISARMAMENT NECESSARY President Hoover told delegates to the sixth biennial congress of the International Chamber of Commerce yesterday that further reduction of armaments is necessary before the world can recuperate economically. Upon learning that the annual world expenditure for arms is five billion dollars, 70 per cent more than the prewar figure the soundness of the President's statement is easily seen. He was also right when he said, "The constant threats and fears which arise from this vast armament are a serious contribution to all forms of instability, whether social, political, or economic." Hoover is skilfully striking at one of the main roots of the trouble. He is "killing two birds with one stone," war and the economic depression. The President may not be a pacifist, but he has done more to do away with war than have hundreds of pacifists who sit back in their chairs and wall. A man's pocketbook is one of his most vulnerable spots, and if President Hoover can convince the rich men, who are often responsible for war, that a reduction of arms is necessary if they are to escape increased taxes and ultimate ruin, he will have done a great deal towards relieving the present economic depression and towards kouring against future wars. THE BILL FOR THE JAYHAWKER The Jayhawk is an annual of which any school might be proud. It has an all-American rating. This sounds well, but is a triflore expensive. The average student buys a Jayhawk at the beginning of the year for $4.50, and then he thinks the subject is a closed one, but he is badly mistaken. A little later he is asked to sit for a picture for some club, and pays an assessment to cover the cost of the picture, and the club foots the bill for the page space. None of these bills is particularly small, and the totals soon mount for the student who pays them via a special assessment. If he is in an organized house, there is a large bill for the picture and another for the space. Even a rather inactive student participates in several activities, and his Jayhawker bill mounts by leaps and bounds. The poor seniors (no pun intended) really have a problem, because in addition to the activities of the other classmen, they are more than anxious so have their pictures in because of he knowledge that they will preserve be book as a memento of their last year in school. They begin to invest, and the bill, paid in assessments and small amounts, soon reaches staggering proportions. One student, a member of one departmental club, one publication activity, and a professional fraternity, and not a member of an social organization, had annual which cost him $100,000 per year and included one of the most Everyone admits that the Jayhawk is an unusually good annual, but it costs so much that it is denied to man of the students who really want it very much. It is too late to do anything about this year's issue, but could next year's Jayhawk not be planned more in accordance with the needs and purse of average students, and less with the idea of impressing a group of judges? which the organizations paid for the space in the publication. At the Recital By Lela Huckney --- Albert Spalding, renowned violinist who appeared here last night in the concert series, and his Concert Series, treated the violin primarily as a singing instrument. He charmed his large audience and played with great emotion and quality almost unequalled Technically, too, he was more than sufficient while his manner of bowing remained excellent. Most of Mr. Spalding's selections was piano transcriptions, although the piano was a composition for both pianist and violin. The composition was an effective and very musical achievement. It was also able to teach his abilities to exercise his interpretive abilities on the changing moods—the bold run, the simple double stopping sequences that are effective bowing variations. The third movement was the most enticing of the four, but it was the shorter and more delicate numbers that the audience wanted to hear. Spalding played plenty of solo parts, and several and several others—all shared honor. The closing number of the program was the best received of the last group. The familiar "Caprice-Scherzo" by Robert Dudley, the lights of the program, as was "Cortes by Boulayner. Other on the numbers by Charles Lamb, charms on Concerto in E Plat. Musica" and *Quittosse* (Frank) and *Burlesk*. a heavy mass of runs and riffs by Joseph The audience was loath to let Mr. Spalding leave when he had finished his program, and he was applauded again and again. Each time responded in each of which was designtiful misuse and deceiving of the finest comment. Spalding had a personality on the concert platform that is dynamic. He can be an unassuming figure to have a decided talent for picking the really beautiful numbers for his own songs. Spalding could say truthfully after hearing Spalding that America is not producing artistry. Andre Benedict was at the piano, and contributed some artistic accompanying as his part of the splendid program. eductor Dilly Kansan — well-known fact that the University of Kansas has as complete a curriculum as any university of high school standing. There is, however, one course which is not of interest to me. It is not another than a course in "concert manners" for faculty as well as students. Witches attending the Spalding concert building the artist of the evening, were somehow annoyed by the usual "charge of the light brigade" in the first ballet and of the first group of numbers in order to move forward. After patiently waiting for this noise to subside, some hopeful musicians thought it was time to show off. But no, they were "mistaken souls that dreamed of heaven" in vain. When the artist began to play again, the audience reacted with laughter suffered a lapse of memory or something and commenced notify to turn the pages of the evening paper for "town talk" sessions to want-to-sell and comic strip. This was accompanied by the chatter of several students who could not refrain from talking so much, unfortunate that the University demands so much of professors and students that they cannot and he time to read the paper or discuss problems until the hour of concert. Music may have the power to chase Mr. Jones woke up, and plumped int he arm of the bed, and had been worn in the middle of the seventeenth century. The class laughed. I guess I misunderstood the question. "What?" Discussion was in order in the editor- biel class. The first youth was leading and the second youth was taking his worming snoope. The teacher was reading a description of a room which had existed some time in the early nineteenth century. The class was listening, that is most of them. When Mr. Jones not only had any sleep for days and was catching up on his lost hours. "The waincoatning along the walls..." By the way, Mr. Jones, what is waincoatning?
