Glee Club Contest May be Arranged in Missouri Valley
No.90.
representatives of School to Meet in Kansas City for Discussion of Plans
Flans are under way to establish an Intercollegiate Men's Gleau Chi contest for the Missouri Valley Representatives from the different schools that make up the present Missouri Valley Athletic conference Club. From Saturday through Kansas City, Mo., Saturday morning Jan. 25, at 10 o'clock.
At this meeting will be threshed out the details connected with organizing the necessary administrative machinery, and a decision will be reached as to whether a contest will be attended. If so, an agenda will determine whether the first contest should be postponed until 1924-25, with the idea of establishing an organization containing representatives of all the schools concerned, and to insure the proper backlog for the enterprise. Such details as rules of the election of candidates, methods of selecting satisfactory indices will be discussed.
Idea Originated at Harvard Intercollege Glee Club contests in this country have been in existence since 1902. The contest was held at Carnegie Hall, New York. The contest was an outcome of the idea and efforts of Albert Pickerrell, a former Harvard University Glee club man. At Bulldog College, he coached the espeneity Umbia, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, and Harvard, the latter winning the contest. Since that time six colleges have been added and similar conten groups have been created. Harvard University is the New York State, Chicago, Wisconsin, and Syracuse.
The New York contest is an annual affair and has developed to such proportion that an Intercollegiate Musical Corporation has been established to take charge of the work. Last year the Corporation invited the winners of the Central New York, Wisconsin and Chicago competitions to participate. It is the ambition of the corporation to assist in the creation of contest groups all over the United States, and to bring together at New York each year the winners of each local group for a final contest.

The Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, through the secretary of its Convention Bureau, W. M. Symon, is being banked for the contest as an audience to see the contest established as an annual event at Kansas City.

Uncle Sam Suggests Publishing LoveNotes
How about having those "A" papers made over into a quirk book? Or what would be more delightfully symbolical than your love letters, ground up, retinshed, and made into wedding invitations? Or wouldn't that last letter from our pal be in your comic strip? Or could this comic strip for the morning paper? That is just what Uncle Sam is suggesting.
In a recent report on government forests it is stated that millions of acres of government forests are thrown into waste baskets and burned every year, though the raw material in waste paper is just as valuable as is that of the newly cut forest.
What becomes of the millions of letters the postman deliver each day? A hurried scanning, or merely a glance at the postmark, and about them, is one of the baskets. About their best chance is to be used for kindling. As for the others, everyone knows how some of them are carefully read and stored away, some daintily scented and ribboned with tins of food about us worn and frowned.

Moore Tells Sigma Xi About Grand Canyon in Lantern Lecture
Explorer Illustrates Geologica Aspects of All Field Work in Big Gorge
The geological history of the Grand Canyon was the subject of the talk given by Dr. R. C. Moore in April 2015 to Sigma XII, Thursday, Jan.17.
Doctor Moore has been making a field study of the region for the past few years, and illustrated his talk with numerous slides.
Among other things Doctor Moore developed the fact that the carving of the Grand Canyon involves at least two great cycles of erosion, of which the earlier is vastly greater than the latter. The erosion striping off of some 6,000 to 8,000 feet of rock strata from the entire Grand Canyon region and sifted the outcrops forty to sixty miles back from the canyon rim. It evidently reduced the country to a very gentle sea level, not far above sea level.
Subsequently the second cycle of erosion was inaugurated by the general elevation of the region, which caused the river winding across the plain to cut rapidly into the underlying rocks.
The 'Grand Canyon, more than 5,000 feet in depth, and some 258 miles in length, has been entirely carved in the second period of erosion. Although the amount of work required to carve such a large body large, this erosion is much less than 'that at an earlier time reduced the country to a plain.
Co-Operative Homes Open
Strained Financial Conditions Leave Vacancies
"Due to the unusually strained financial situation in the state, some girls who are living in co-operative houses will not be able to return to the University next semester, and these houses will be able to accommodate a few more girls," said Miss Armes Huean, dean of women.
The co-operative houses are owned by the University, and the work is done by the girls who live in the houses. Chaperones, business managers, custodians, cooking, receive a larger reduction from their expenses than the other girls. All girls aid in the house work, which requires about one hour a day from each. When expenses exceed three hundred dollars and are able to save from one-third to one-half of their living expenses. “It is an exceptionally excellent way for girls to help earn their way back to school,” Mrs. Dora R Bryant. “Many girls, who would be interested do not know exactly what the houses are like. Usually the houses are filled long ahead, but the situation is peculiar this year. Mrs. Dora R Bryant, assistant dean of women, as soon as possible.”
Geo. O. Foster's Class Celebrates Anniversary
The Sunday school class of University women at the First Christian church taught by George O. Foster, who is preparing to embrace its twentieth anniversary Sunday morning, Jan. 20. During these years Mr. Foster has taught the class without a break and a special program that morning will celebrate his occasion.
The class started in 1904 with a membership of four and has grown steadily so that at the present time it has an enrollment of fifty-eight. The number of students more than $3,000 has been contributed for religious purposes.
Fine Arts Exhibit Features Etchings of Great Masters
Work of Rembrandt Stands Unparalleled in Time; Original Cuts of Daumier
The exhibit is composed of graphic work which uses lines with no different colors. Three types of work are displayed, in graphite, woodcuts, woodcuts, and lithographs.
Works of some of the greatest etchers of all time including Rembrandt and Daunier are to be found in many museums in the country of east administration building.
The etchings are of two types, the wax-plate etching, in which the artist scratches the picture on a copper plate covered with wax and the dry plate method. The former is then dipped into acid and the part uncovered by the scratches are eaten out by the acid leaving an impression of the picture. The latter type is then dipped into acid and the scratches are made directly on the plate with the needle. This is the most difficult and requires great control because when the mark is once on the plate it must remain there.
Interesting Process Revealed
The print from the etching is made by covering the plate with ink which is wiped off leaving only the ink that is in the scratches. A sheet of paper is laid on the plate and it is printed in a press under great pressure which forces the paper down into the scratches.
The woodcuts are carved upon wood, the parts that are to be white being carved out and the printing being carved out. Lithograph work is done upon stone.
The work of Daumier of which more than a dozen specimens are shown appeared in a French national newspaper published about seventy-five years ago. The specimens were clipped from this paper and are very rare and valuable. They all deal with the boating adventures of prominent people in Paris.
The etching of Rembrandt is printed from the original plate which is over 300 years old. It shows the head of an old man.
Many of the etchings of John Sloan of New York are in the exhibit. They deal with the seamy side of life, showing the life of the poor and underworld of New York. Mr. Sloan uses etchings according to Prof. Albert Black, head of the department of drawing and painting.
Nordfeld Too Grewsome
Works of Nordfeld, a Swedish etcher, Stenil and William Strang are also shown. The most striking of Strang's work is a gresweome work called "The Dance of the Skeleton." The exhibit is in one of the rooms finally finished. As soon as the remaining rooms are completed exhibitors are shown from cording to Professor Black. The exhibit will be show for at least two more weeks, Professor Black announces.
Umanacs Are in Demand
Sales Surpass All Expectations of Campaign Managers
"With the closing of the active sales campaign of the University of Kansas Almanacs Friday night, the number of sales has reached a higher amount than anyone had dared to. Elizabeth Hill, sales manager
