FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1931 DRY DEMOCRATS Rumors concerning the part probtion will play in the 1932 presidential race on the Democratic ticket indiidated, earlier in the year, that modifi cation or repeal would be the basis c that party's platform. John J. Raskol chairman and financial backer of the Democrats, is wholesaleely wet, but his statement yesterday, just prior to the conferences preceding the national committee meeting of his party, jointly stated it would be a declaration of the possibility that a wet stand would be taken. A年 he believes, will measure public opinion and allow a more mature consideration of the problem. But from the many democratic congressional leaders who attended the meeting, the discussion favored a whole-hearted advocacy of the 18th amendment. Feeling that victory is almost a certainity if they remain dry, the leaders plan to shape their platform on economic grounds and forego the liquor problem. Previous reports had it that the Wickersham statements gave the Democrats a good basis for making prohibition an issue, but like all temporal things, the Wickersham report has set it a more qualified perspective and more pressing issues will be presented. And so it appears, despite the early rumors, that the 18th amendment as an issue will remain passive during the forthcoming presidential election. The Men's Student Council has announced that it is going to build two new tennis courts. If they are like the golf course that the Men's Student Council gave us they will be courts of last appeal. NEED FOR REPETITION America's economic condition, according to Samuel Untermyer, an experienced, brilliant lawyer, is a result of serious errors such as the country's meek toleration of the power trusts, the money trusts, widespread monopolies, careless handling of its natural resources, and the blind trust it puts in government by ignorant and incompetent men. All of Untermyer's reasons are familiar, but warning of such evils must be constantly reiterated. Until the people become so familiar with causes that they act upon them, those errors must be held continually before the public. There is nothing like tuning in and hearing a poetically tender voice crooning", I've got the grip, I've had the flu. I've had the mumps, but I haven't got you." THE INDIANS ARE COMING Mount Greed will be the scene of another political battle between office-minded men students, cigarettes and a welcoming handmade greet will greet the voters in another two weeks. Nobodies on the Bill will be regarded by the electioneers as "the necessary elements to maintain the University. Mul will flow from the "bosses" who have learned the Spanish national game through class recitation. It will be remembered, though Election days here always are. And why not? Everybody has a good time, and afterwards nobody cares who was elected. Last spring the Pachacamacs adver- used the fact that for the second time in the history of Hill politics they were unopposed by another political group. They also said that this was a marked achievement in that no other political organization has ever been unopposed here. Last fall, however, another group challenged the Pachacamacs, the Oread party. This new organization was for merely known as the Black Masks. Its purpose, the members say, is to scalp the Pachacamacs of their political power and to make the campus safe for University citizens. At any rate platforms will again be presented to the student body. Students will be able to see for themselves just what each party "will do" in the way of legislation if it is elected to power. At the same time each plank of the platform will begin with the catch word "agitate." "We shall agitate the upkeep of tennis courts." "Maybe in the future you will look at the courts and say that the word should have been instead "eliminate." The parties will promise more, and who can say that the one elected will or won't do much? Students you have been warned of this approaching conflict. Join a party now and call to it; fight for it, yes- even die for it. It makes little difference which one you join, however. Neither of the above mentioned is capable. Ask the Pacachamacs about the Oreads, and then ask the Oreeds about the Pacachamacas—We told you ROXY AND HIS GANG Roxy and his "Gang" will be here Saturday night. An unusual group of artists will be here. Most of the group are capable of being concert artists. Thousands of listeners all over the country are familiar with Roxy's Sunday broadcast concerts. These concerts are considered the most educational of all regular music programs. Among the seventy persons who will appear here is Beatrice Beklin, a student art student here at the University. She is a Kansas woman who has won recognition in musical circles of the East. And the headliner, of course, is the venerable Madame Schumann-Heink who has often been a mother, who has been singing for decades, and who, unlike other artists, stands at the head of concert artists despite her age. Her appearance here will be one of the outstanding events of the year for Kansas people who love good music. LADIES AND THEIR SHADOWS We remember the fanaticism that possessed women more years ago who sought slender "sillouette." A woman, when she cast a shadow that was perceptable, gave the effect of Japanese art. But today feminine figures are something else; while not slender silhouettes, they are not blobish. Perhaps the present fancy is the happy medium, happy in its mournfulness and its freedom from dieting, and medium in the shadow it throws. INDICATIONS POINT OTHERWISE Earlier in the week this column lauded Gandhi and his countrymen for their reasonable method of coping with English rule. No blood was shed. Pacifism, we believed, had eventually gained a foothold on the modern scene, and the people of India were to be congratulated. But yesterday, in Bangalore, 3000 natives broke into a savage brave following a football game, and it was necessary for police to arrest 45 before quiet was restored. Gandhi and his people have shaken our faith in predicting advances in civilization. Even Americans are more genteel than that Indian crowd; they merely throw pop-bottles at umpires and boo players who fail to please. We must admit that we are not so sure concerning the development of pacifism as we were earlier in the week. At the Recital Lela Hackney Pat Johnson, pianist, who gave her senior recital last night in the central auditorium, was warmly charming to an audience which filmed the auditorium. Her program was artistically performed from the beginning of the recital, and the audience received, showed that Miss Johnson is one of the most popular as well as one of the most talented of the members of the ensemble. Personality is always a factor in artistic musicianship, and it was the personality of Miss Johnson's playing that set her apart. Her sense of interest and interest. Her playing is.

The pianist, and goes from the extremely quiet to the exceedingly stormy number of notes he played. Perhaps the best number of the evening was the "Concertstück," a composition of her teacher, Prof. Carl Dudnick, who was also interested in itself, and was even more so when played by one of his pupils, Dr. J. Berman. Parts on the second piano himself Long runs with decided crescendos and diminuendo characterized the number of beats in each note; the number seems to be, and for that reason, as well as the fact that it was so much app approval from the audience. Closely approaching the "Concert-stuck" in artistry of performance was the Concert Elude in F Minor, a combo set that included a favorite on recital programs, and it was beautifully done last night. The nicety of Miss Johnson's touch and clear smooth runs and trills were worthy of mention. Her "Little White Donkey," a descriptive sketch for the piano came in its share of applause, together with the long and difficult "Symphonic Chopin number "Elude in C Sharp Minor," and "Nocture in E Miner." The last mentioned were the more accurate the numbers on the program. Kathy Katherine by singing a Verdi Aria "Ah, fores to La Luf" (La Traviata). Mrs. Nelson's voice is of an exceedingly high quality and plays artistically and well. She was accompanied by Evelyn Swearbout. Besides her work in music circles on the Hill, Miss Johnson played this fall as concert pianist for the Tulta Little Symphony Orchestra. Our Contemporaries ARE WORKING STUDENTS IN IN SOCIAL ACTIVITIES? Another survey has been made of students working their way through college and the results are the same as usual. This time it is Datus C. Smith of the student employment section of ProQuest. He presented with a report of a survey made last year of the 438 undergraduates who were offered a position. expenses. The results of the survey are given in the current issue of the Journal of Higher Education. KENNEDY Plumbing Co. The report is all very interesting but certainly reveals nothing new. Why do these activities occur on the original and include in one of these surveys the social activities of working mothers? 937 Mass. St. The results of such a survey would be news. The survey, like all others of this nature, shows that the self-supporting students have scholastic ability that is not only because of the University; that they achieve scholastic standing that is not only because of the University, but also is consistent with their rated ability; that they do not receive their proportionate share in their proportional share than their proportionate share of FHI Beta Kappa membership and depart- -Ohio State Lantern. do they have time to "go places and do things"? Do they wish to take part in their work? Does their work have any effect on their social standing in the University? Do they want to gain advantages of a University and how college equips one with self-confidence in meeting and talking to people, but is it true that students are distractions stay away from the question.
