Zimbalist Was First to Play Aulin's Music in His American Debt

Russian Violinist Who Appears Tonight Composed Popular Comic Opera
4
It has long been the custom ammo-
music managers that a new artist
must be heard first in a familiar
work, but Efrat Zinimblit, Russian
musician, who appears in a concert
on gymnastism tonight, vaulted
to play not one of the older con-
certs, but by introducing a new one.
Says Instrument Is a Medium
Zimbalist believes that the musical necamplications should not be confined to violin mastery. "The violinist who knows only the fiddle," says Zimbalist, "shuts off from his vision the broader aspects of music. A knowledge of the piano is indispensable for every musician, for the piano provides a short cut to acquaintain with almost all forms of music composition. A musician who has not mastered harmony and counterpart lacks the foundation which allows him to perform well works. Then, if he is a violinist, his instrument becomes not merely an instrument but a musical medium."
He was the first to play the muse of the Norwegian master, Tord Aulin, and he was also the first to recognize the compositions of Albert Spindel.
Composed an Opera
He is also a composer of songs, chamber music and even a comic opera, "Honey Dew," which had a run in New York a few years ago and which subsequently proved to be popular on tour.
Zimbabweil made his debut at his "other instrument" when he appeared as accompanist for Alma Glock last year. Also he made a brief appearance as accompanist for Janacha Heifetz at the famous Aaron concert.
The piano which Zimbabwe will use tonight in his concert arrived about 10 a.m. this morning from the Jonkinson Musical Company, Kennesaw, City.
"The University is fortunate in securing this great artist, and he should be accorded a equality honor," said John Staworth, of the School of Fine Arts.
It weighs almost a ton and it was all that 11 men added by modern mechanical appliances could do to abate it up to the second floor of the building.
Students Are Questioned
Sorority Seeks to Determine Religious Status
Phi Lambda Sigma, Presbyterian sorority, has sponsored the sending of 675 questionnaires to the Presbyterian students of the University.
Dr. Frank Arnold, of the School of Religion, and the questionnaire was sent out "to get information as to the religious status of the students, to their own convictions and evaluation of religion."
Some of the questions which have been asked need Comprise your attendance at church here with your attendance at home. Why do you go to church? What kind of sermon do you like best? Which kind of sermon do you embrace more, a social message or an individual message? If the church would put on a strong social program would it be appropriate old time religion or old time republication or do you republicate religion? What does your religion mean to you? Does your religion satisfy you? There are several other minor questions that blanks for artificial suggestions.
The questionnaire was sent out April 1 and the returns have already begun to come in. They expect prompt answers and if they come back as fast as in expectation, the returns about the middle of the week.
Doctor Arnold said, "It is hoped that the returns will be of practical value and that students will not feel that the payoff is worth it in they have felt in the past."
Alumni Are Married
The wedding of Ines Pratt, B. M., 26, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Pratt, 1600 Tennessee street, to Mr. Edwin Jadamson, LL.B. 23, who was unmarried. The daughter was the outcome of a friendship of college days.
Mr. Jammison is now associated with the law firm of Amition, Hart, Porter andHook of Wichita. Mr. and Mrs. Jammison will be present for May's appointments in Wichita.
Nineteen students at the University of Indiana, 10 men and 12 women, made straight A's. The first one student carried a minimum of 15 hours.
Opinion Diversified Concerning Origin and Mode of Observing First of April as All Fool's Day
Pooiliness for a daily ration is an unprofitable stimulant, but he who can inhale in harmless mithr-provoking pranks on April Fool's day hide fair to keep his spirit limbered to the plasticity of youth.
Personals of statid solicity are apt to find themselves the victims of these jobs. Many wonder where such individuals come from, who after all is, the April fool, the person who connects the nonsense, or the unsuspecting person who duped the solicitor.
Some claim that our modern April Fool's day arose from the mistake of Noah in sending the dove out of the ark before the water had abated, on the first day of the month, among the first inhabitants of the world, first of April, and to perpetuate the memory of this deliverance it was thought proper, whover forgot so remarkable a circumstance, to punish him by sending him upon such unless errand similar to the infectious mess in the bird was sent by his interruption.
A few believe that the custom refers to the time of Christ, as at this time of the year the dews sent to the earth were so powerful one to another to mock and torment Him. People usually discredit this supposition because innocent fun could be taken; but a certain person, who is deeply anxious and cruel motive, the most popular conjecture as to

to the adoption of the reformed calendar of 1564. Herefordo, the New Year began on March 25 instead of January 1, and people celebrated the new year by giving them gifts. Sometimes in deeply religious France it was found necessary to postpone the customary New Year's observance for several days after the actual festival because March 25 came in Passion Week. When these data conflicted with historical records, March 25 was as time for the New Year jolilentions. When the calendar was remade, New Year's day was carried back to January 1. Several unthinkable creatures still celebrated April 1, and people made fun of them by calling them "April Fools." It were so easily booked into nouns.
The fashion of hooking became popular in England as well as in France, but in England the island nibbles were called "April fool's."
Today the rituals of April fooling are participated in more by children than grown-ups, although occasionally a fun loving adult indulges in some prank upon his friends. Even the most careful are likely to be fooled. If anyone is afraid of having his dignity injured he had best shout "You should not do that." Poor Richard's misanime once said that "He who walks abroad on April first runs a perilous risk of losing his sobriety."
The inter-racial commission of the Y, M, K, C, A, and the W, Y, K, C, A, and the Milwaukee delegation met at Henley house yesterday afternoon from 4 to 6 for ten, with a purpose of bringing together Persons of both races were invited.

were present.
Next Practice Will Be Held Tuesday Evening
Sunday afternoon at 3:00 at the high school auditorium, the Choral Union and the University Symphony Orchestra met for their first seminal practice. The chorus from the Messiah to be given at the spring festival, now less than three weeks distant, was featured.
The orchestra and the chorus worked together with smoothness and precision that was admirable. The singing was enthusiastic and under control, and the Messiah promises to be an unusually finished performance.
Tuesday evening at 7:20 the orchestra and chorus will meet for rehearsal on the second work to be given during Music week. The rehearsal will be crippled somewhat in the orchestra and men's section of the chorus, due to the fact that the Uni-
tion Band are out of town on a tour of the state, but a fine rehearsal is assured.
That woman is smarter than man, and that one's ability to make grades varies directly with the number of years spent in college are the deductions to be drawn from the figures released from the registrar's office of Gee College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The average grade of the women of the college exceeds that of the men by .5529. It was also noted that women not only made the best grades, but also carried the heavier schedules.
Types of Engineering Education Discussed by Dean P. F. Walker
Kansas City, Mo., April 4- Two types of engineering studies were discussed before the Kansas City session of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers by P. F. Walker, dean of the University of Kansas School of Engineering, Dan Walker contributed a paper on "Estimation for the Industry," for the committee on training and training for the industries.
Technical Training for Public Service and Routine Work Offer Field
One type of education described by Dean Walker called for highly professionalized technical services by men who are skilled to serve people by a trained man.
(Special)
"Engineers of this second type," Dean Walker said, representing a shorter period of training than the more specialized type, and insofar as the limits of finances longer than training impossible, such training might fulfill a real need. He pointed out, however, that danger nausea that students failing to make satisfactory progress in the more advanced training, drift into the more difficult form of engineering training.
The other training is of a more routine nature, training the higher type of draftmen, investigators of other industrial engineers, and technical chemists.
Dean Walker pointed out also the difficulty of attempting to carry on the two types of training in the same institution. On the other hand, the training he would propose for the second group is not that of the ordinary vocational school—he would insist that he should be trained and should be fit strictly collegiate grade.
"The solution is that of selection on the basis of ability, and the assign-

ment of the individual to the institution for which their abilities fit them," said Denn Walker. "This is easy to do because the student would be exceedingly difficult, for we have not yet reached the point where individuals will submit themselves to outside adjective presuppositions or learn true in state-supported institutions.
"Selective tests to determine ability may become so well established that individuals will accept results and proceed with cheerfulness to fit themselves for types of industries for which their abilities quality them."

PACHACAMAC PLATFORM
--NINE VITAL ISSUES--
1. Sunday Tennis
Pachacamac believes that absolute restriction of University tennis courts to students on Sunday is unfair. A Pachacamac council will work to effect a change in the present ruling.
2. Proportional Representation
We advocate the immediate adoption of the principle of proportional representation in the election of council representatives from the College and School of Engineering, using the Hare system of single transferable vote. We emphasize that it and a means toward other progressive changes in the campus political system.
3. A Functioning Student Council
4. Student Discipline
Realizing that the essential purpose of a student council is student government, Piacchaeine advocates a return to student government at K. U. through a functioning student council. A Piacchaeine counsel will show intervening students that the existence of a man's governing body, and will see that legislation is carried out.
5. Representative Class Officers
Pachacamac believes that disciplinary powers of the student council should be absolute and final, and has the assurance of University officials that council action of student discipline cases will not be hindered by possible administration intervention. We advocate a strong executive committee of the student council to manage cases of discipline.
Class officers should represent the entire class. Election of presidents and treasurers by men voters and vice-presidents and secretaries by women voters is contested on fundamental principles of representative government. Pacchiarella and advocates election of all class officers by both men and women.
6. Tryouts for Cheerleaders
Realizing the importance of good cheerleading to successful athletic seasons and to good school spirit. Pachacamac reiterates the stand made last year for cheerleader trenants at public meetings or before a non-partisan board to qualify individuals for nomination for the office of cheerleader.
7. Equitable Representation of Non-Fraternity and Fraternity
A party organized to pit non-fraternity against fraternity, or vice versa, is fundamentally wrong, and as a variance with Kansas ideals, and should therefore not be tolerated on the K. U. campus. Pachacamac was founded to oppose a party organized on these false principles. Non-fraternity and fraternity men have always been given equitable representation in Pachacamac and on Pachacamac tickets.
8. Student Control of Union Building
Since the Union building is concerned primarily with student associations and student life, Pachacamac advocates student membership on a board of control for the Union.
9. Improvement of Potter Lake
Pachasmacac, realizing the present condition of Potter lake, advocates the improvement of Potter lake to make it fit and suitable for swimming.
Watch for the announcement of Pachacamae candidates who stand unreservedly behind the above platform and will do everything in their power to see that it is carried out.
