THE JOY OF SONG FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1927 Music is the universal language of man and some expression of it is found in every race and tribe of people all over the world. It is found in the crude instruments of savages, the simple folk songs of the peasants, the classical, technical music of the highly civilized countries and the jazz of the world's modern youth. There is something joyous about song, about music of any sort. Throughout the history of man music has been associated with his lighter, gayer mood and fancies. It denotes peace and happiness and jollity. Music is the king in the world of play, and versatile in its ability to interpret and express the emotions of the human race. It has been made to speak love and passion, hate and sorrow, war and peace; and whether or not one speaks in terms of sharps and flats or majors and minors, there is an infant love of harmony and sound and rhythm in every human being. Music weeks have come to be a part of the civic program of a great many cities over the country, and music week is becoming a beloved tradition at Lawrence. The programs are especially good here because of the excellent talent which is obtainable both from the University and the city. Every outstanding organization in Lawrence is co-operating to make the coming music week a success. Town clubs, educational institutions, bands, orchestras, choirs and glee clubs are lending their support, and every citizen will have a chance to hear some of the programs. Music week is an inspiration to appreciate and enjoy better music, to bring it more into our daily lives. It is a credit to the town and to the people who make its success possible, and it is a joy to the whole community to join together for a week in this universal language of man. THE SCENES SHIFT IN CHINA The Chinese puzzle is becoming more and more puzzling. A rift in the Cantonese faction between the moderates and radicals threaten seriously to retard the Nationalist movement, according to press reports. The radicals, now openly belligerent toward the more conservative element, have introduced themselves at Hankow and set up a government patterned after their own ideas. In the meantime, the moderates have established headquarters at Nanking, on the Yangtze river. The more fact that a disruption has occurred within the party is not so significant as the effect it will have on the ultimate unification of the country. There are some who believe that a unified China will not be realized for several years. Comes Thomas Que Hurwich, who has just returned from a trip around the world, with the suggestion that there is a possibility of a union of the forces of Chiang Kai-shek, moderate Nationalist leader, and Chang Tao-lin, northern war lord. If this happens there will be a complete shifting of the scenes, with the radical, pro-Russian element fighting on one side and the moderate wing of the and the businessmen or the other. Perhaps the balance of our will then lie in the hands of General Feng, Christian under who heads a mission in northeastern Hertafero Feng has exerted little influence in the revolution. Whatever shifting may take place in China, however, it does not seem likely that the attitude of the Chinese, including both radicals and conservatives, will be greatly changed with respect to the encroachments of the foreigner. It seems safe to say that the sphere of foreign influence is slowly but surely waning. Alert missionaries already see that a reconstruction of their efforts and work is necessary. Indeed, the whole missionary movement in China may be nearing an end. Entrepreneurs who have been the victims of boycotts and strikes and violence realize that the widespread philosophy of "China for the Chinese" is gaining momentum and force. These kaleidoscopic changes that are taking place within the old empire of the Manchu will be of more and more interest to the Ocident, for so inexactly are the East and West bound together that whatever affects them will affect us. What now seems to be a puzzle will unoubtedly develop into an orderly renaissance that will have a hearing on the life and culture of the whole world. But when the real renaissance and a unified China will come is a mere conjecture. In the words of William Allen White, "One man's guess is as good as another." Gladys, the office girl, wants to know what will happen when television wires get crossed. PHILOSOPHIC FISHING There are few diversions more pleasant than fishing. To sit alone on the bank of a creek all day, out of sight and sound of humanity, is the perfect way to achieve a serene state of mind and harmony with the elements. Sud it is to reflect that some times the pleasure of fishing is married by the distraction of actually catching a fish. On such occasions the spell is broken, and the fisherman must buys himself with the task of removing the fish from the book and putting on another worm. The best day for fishing is a day when the fish won't bite; for there is nothing more disastrous to a fisherman's day dream to a bobbling cork. The slightest nibble distracts the fisherman and derails his train of thought. When a man catches a fish, his itches forthward to turn to further material gain. With the attention focus upon a "big catch," one can ive little thought to the eternal veries. Since catching fish is disagreeable to the true fisherman, it would seem quit sensible for him to go to a creek where there are no fish, or to refuse to bait his hook, or to stay away from water entirely; but the peculiar make-up of man requires that he deceive himself. Few people can sit all day and do absolutely nothing with a clear conscience. But if one can make himself believe that he is buoy while fishing, he can preserve faith in his industry. If the fish do not bite, the fisherman can be happy for his dreams can continue without interruption. After the flood Noah sent out a Dove. An Owl was sent out by the University. Those who attended the Mu Tau Alpha program last night, expecting a dry and intellectual type of enter-trainer, were surprised by the symbolic symbol of a Latin and Greek department, were pleasantly surprised. Although the audience was small, it enjoyed wholeheartedly the volume provided by the students of the classics. At The Theater By Elenore D. Graff A style show, giving an excellent reproduction of Roman fashions, opened the program. These costumes, as well as those shown throughout the evening, showed careful study and planning. Except in the material necessarily used, they were true to the finest detail. Some clever impersonation was The Jay Jones will meet at the stadium Saturday at 11:15.

The use of clown-white, white draperies, a brilliant spot light, and poses excellently held, all combined to make the statues appear catty cold and lifeless.

It错了 forever the idea that anything classical must always be dull and uninteresting. Professors Hollandes of the department of philosophy and psychology will have charges of the meeting of Beta Chi Sigma on Monday, April 29, Dr. R. Thidman, revise the latest book of Hollandes's *Philosophy*, and Dr. Thidman1. Beta Chi Sigma every afternoon at 4 in room 3, cast admin building. C. R. GARVEY, President. Of the least interest was a play, "Senator Populique Romanus," which was written by Mrs. Lillian Lawler of the department of Latin, and was given in Latin. Although Maximus Witt was effective in her role as a lawyer, he also acted actors showed the results of capable training, their speech and actions were neither clear nor expressive enough to give the spectators any joking of the subject matter of the supposed comedy. It is such attempts at classical entertainment that keep many otherwise interested spectators. However, a satire in the form of a one-act play, on the manner in which American students translate Greek into English, antoned for any dullness in the preceeding part of the program. The Greek cock is called "Oroastrus" and is composed of a series of incongruous incidents and clever lines. The members of the chorus who were supposedly decrepit old men, won a laugh every time they appeared. The chorus became so accustomed to the direction of Edith Adams. At the Concert By John Shively --were merely suggested, and there was a sameness throughout the program. The accompanying of Betty Sickles is worthy of commendation. Her work on the piano added much to the effectiveness of Miss Voolt's songs. It is always a pleasure to hear a pupil of Professor Prayer, for, despite their individual difficulties of the student, their instructor is always apparent. Josephine Jackson had some difficulty with technique and with her memory last night, but she never failed to put those fallacies into the background by her generally brilliant work. Her technique for the most part was flimy, and her expression clear. The clearness of each theme was just as much an indication of technique as the more brilliant images. The Rimsky-Korsakov "Concerto" and the "Sonata Tragicum" were both heavy numbers in which the pianist showed brilliance and good appreciation. Anna Loa Velgts wisely presented a program demanding little of the dramatic. She had a good quality of tone, which was particularly enjoyable in her first number, the aria "La Boheme." As the program advanced, however, the narrow limitations of range and flexibility of her voice became apparent. Her high bones were effective only when they PROFESSIONAL CARDR DR. U. E.

Those of us who crave to look beautiful once in a while can now do so and still be considered smart. In the new summer fashions on display here a softening of lines is everywhere evident. Dresses that last season would have been prim, at least, if not manily tailored now revel in flirts, pleats, fixtures and bows. Feminine looking fashions have at last come into their own. Another clothes theory is about to be exploded and that the belief that beauty or prettiness and smartness are absolutely incompatible. Innes Hackman Co. Company: Smoky Valley ---
