Four Fields Open to Present Day Organ Students
Organists of Special Ability Able to Secure Positions in College Music Departments
Pietro A. Yon, an example of the possibilities in the study of organ, showed the opportunity open in the field of concert organizers. "Three other fields in which organists may find interest," according to Prof. C. S. Kiflon, his assistant as church organist, or choir master, the organ, and as organist in moving picture shows."
In the history of the art, church positions have gone hand in hand for many centuries while concert playing has developed largely in the last half century. Theater playing has only come to organists in the late seventies.
First a Church Instrument
First a Church Instrument History and tradition associate the organ with the church and sacred music, and before the twentieth century the organ was named the instrument possessed a dignity and grandeur with the impersonal characteristics in keeping with the ecclesiastical surroundings.
The twentieth century has seen the secularization of the organ. It has been installed in the homes of the wealthy, equipped with self-playing instruments, in cities and in the motion picture theaters. "Removed from the associations of religion, it has yielded itself to music of every type, modern equipment and more equal to that of the orchestra." Professor Skilton writes.
Organists Akin to Scholar "Of all performers, the organist is most closely alike the instrument, in appropriate to his instrument is the most involved in construction and performance thereof, also, the greatest demands on the faculties of judgment, adjustment, and decision, while the emotional element is more in the background than any other style of performance."
Organists of special ability may secure positions in college music departments to teach organ and theory at a salary ranging from $1200 to $5000 a year. These positions are growing more numerous and are particularly desirable from their association with intellectual and cultured people and the refined manner of performance, both combined with church positions and afford opportunity for leisure and creative work, many of the more noted American composers having been found in such environment.
Plan for Summer School
Committee Investigates Needs of Departments
The first meeting of the administrative committee of the summer session was held Monday, Oct. 22, in room 118 Fraser. Prof. W. H. Johnson, director, acted as chairman. May Riggs was elected secretary.
Topics concerning the organization of summer school, matters of enrollment, length of session and teacher were discussed. Plans were made for an investigation under the leadership of the director, for the purpose of securing from former students and faculty members a suitable curriculum for the coming session can best serve the largest number of students. One fact which was expressed with considerable emphasis was that the graduate must be offered a better course for graduate students.
The purpose of the committee is to organize and solve various problems in order to make the summer school more effective in meeting the needs of our student body in various departments, including the Graduate School.

Y. M. C. A. Plans to Bring British Politician Here
Ben F. Wilson, British politician,
may speak at the University some
time in November, provided that
the University of Kansas Y. M. C. A.
can pay the lecture fee, which is
asked by Mr. Wilson's managers,
according to E. B. Shutz, secretary
of the Y. M. C. A.
"Mr. Wilson had more to do with electing labor leaders to parliament last year than any other individual, and he was the only lecturer," said Mr. Shultz. "It all depends upon whether or not the Y. M. C. A. can raise its budges on the campus or not, as to whether we want to elect Mr. Wilson come here." he concluded.
Memorial High School Auditorium in Demand for University Plays
Follies and Fashion Show Will Be Given Where Community Chorus Meets
The decision of the W. S. G. A. to present the Fashion Show in the high school auditorium this year is a testimonial of the utility and efficiency of the new Lawrence High School building.
"We think that our pride in our school is justified," said Mrs. C. E. Esterly, clerk of the Board of Education. "The Liberty Memorial High School, as it is known, is one of the best high schools in the state. About $455,000 has already been acquired for equipment, and contemplated additions and improvements will bring the total to about $600,000."
The large auditorium, which is well lit and ventilated, is a feature of the new building which is already beginning to be in demand. In addition to the request for Drama League has also asked permission to use the auditorium, which will seat 1016, or about the same as the Bowersock theater. Although no definite answer has yet been made to these requests, the Board urges the audience to upon them, according to Mrs. Eaterly.
The acoustic properties of the high school auditorium are very good, and it is so arranged that a good view of the room can be seen in the room. A booth has been built in the rear of the balcony where a motion picture projecting machine will later be installed, completing the work of an already spendid auditorium.
Former Student Comes Back to United States
Chalton A. Powers, A. B., "22, who has a position in Honolulu as radio editor for an advertising concern, is returning to the United States and will locate in Los Angeles, Cal., according to a letter received by the members of the Delta Chi fraternity, "Honolulu is a wonderful place, but I am tired of it," said Mr. Powers. I was in the office every day according to the letter. He is a member of Sigma Delta Chi honorary journalism fraternity, and writes that there are five other members in Honolulu.
The first impression that most students get of "Pat" is that he is unalterably opposed to any student activity other than those which center around the gymnasium, and that his only thought is to be a teacher of physical and mental wounds after the short time allotted to the physical training classes.
"Pat" Patrick Not so Bad as He May Lool
"Pat," or G. B. Patrick, as he is officially known, is a graduate of the Morningside Training School and has taught freshman and sophomore gymnasium classes at the University of Kansas for the past five years. He is also wrestling coach and the other university athletics staff during the seasons when they are active in turning out winning Jayhawk teams.
After the student has come to know "Pat" and his ways, he considers him in a different light. He finds that his abrupt manner of approaching action are not for the purpose of bringing humiliation and subjection to the student, but rather to impress upon him that there is one purpose of his own being held. He finds that if he musters up sufficient courage to ask a favor of the apparently case-hardened individual that nine times out of ten it will be graned—in the same tone of voice in which the gym commands
Coach Patrick is of medium height and build, has an unmistakably determined looking jaw, is prone to wear a well weather-beaten cap pulled down over one eye, and has a thick eyebrow which are as much a part of his makeup as the aforementioned jaw. He is always in a hurry to get some place but will readily lessen his hurried gait in order to hear the well-defined jaw was impossible to make that class and can I make it up?"
Those men of the University who take special courses under Patrick, either in wrestling, tumbling, boxing or in the theory of physical education, find him an efficient and agreeable student. For example, has risen from an unknown sport at Kansas to one which draws a crowd to every match.
Kansas Schools Compete for Rhodes Scholarship
