Italian Organist
Chooses Program
Entirely American
"American Indian Fantasy"
Composed by C. S. Skilton
Pleases Audience
Immensely
Fletto A. Yon, famous Italian organist, held his listeners' spellbound not only by the demonstration of his wonderful ability as an artist but also by his congenial smile and his magnetic personality. The concert held at the Congregational church last night, was attended by a capacity house which was sincerely enthusiastic in its praise of the musician
Mr. You opened his program with the "Suite in C Major," by H. N. Bartlett. No selection could have been better chosen for an opening number, for in its four parts it should be played on a stuccoist. Opening with the soft strains, it swelled to loud passages which were later replaced by staccato phrases. The second part brought out the melody of the selection, while the third was marked by brilliant runs. The fourth part, with dramatic flare from the other three parts with a brilliant flute part, in addition.
Yon Shows Unusual Ability
Without a doubt, the "American Indian Fantasy," which Prof. C. S. Skilton composed especially for Mr. Yon, was the outstanding feature of the program. After the introductory theme there was the music of the Arrapaha band by the steady beat of the Indian tom-tom drum. This was followed by a passage of barbaric character which led to a pedal cadena, and gave the audience an opportunity to witness the unusual ability of Mr. Yon to perform on the pedal cadena by the melody of Winnegeau Indians with which the Indian youth wooa a maiden. After this number came a gambling song of the Rouge River Indians which was somewhat of an undisputable nature, then came the introduction which was in the form of the introductory sound of the steady beat of the Indian drums.
"Sky Sketches," by R. E. Stoughton, was interesting for its variety of moods and character which was vividly portrayed throughout. The selection opened in "The Grotto," and was of a wavy antique supernatural texture; the second "Northeast" was pictured by a light scherzo which reminded one of dancing nymphs. These appraising sections were followed by a melody of great beauty which introduced "Nentune," a grand and majestic march, with the sea in a perfect calm. Then came a loud and lively melodic chorus that would urgently unerror. At the close the ornament returned with added majesty and grandeur.
Responds with Encores
Mr. You responded generously with encores for the applause which was recorded him. His "Furge in D Mator" by Bach, was appreciated, but "Echo" which he composed himself, will always be remembered for its splendid characterization. There was something so light, so intangible about it that it was haunting—bewitching. Truly, it was an echo.
Again he responded to the applause with the Italian Rhapsody, after which he played another one of his compositions, "The Harmonica," and then ended that concert with the "Second Concert Study."
It was the informal yet dignified manner of Mr. Yon which carried his program to the hearts of his listeners. His winning smile and generous manner won for him a place in the memory of his audience forever. In return, the honorable mentions of the work and presence of Mr. Yon and was deeply impressed with his all-American program.

"Twist that Tiger's Tail"
Dad—Who Gave Us Spankings in Our Childhood and Money in Our Manhood—Is Coming
Dad is coming! That purveyor of autionary advice, that wielder of he check-book, that sort of omnipotent being that rules our destinies roam afar, has come to visit us. Big ladds, little dads, dads with whinkers, inddars with canes, in fact all the ladds that go to make up that great category of dadhood. But after all, they're just "dadds"—or godnors, or others, or old gents, or whatever generation may choose o call them.
It wasn't so very many years ago that dad sent us off for our first day of school. All through the red flannel, goose-grass, aesefety, castor oil period, we were not allowed to swim and be punished and praised. And all the while our education rolled merryly on. The well-worn path to the wood-shed, wherein hung all the paddling paraphenalia from razor strips to pine plants, borne testimony to the fact that it is possible to wear rags, these were not made to be cut and that slug hats were not fitting targets for yr snowballs. Who knows but that
Fans Develop Lungs for Saturday's Game
"The ability of man to open his mouth and yell for the pure joy of doing it, is a lost art," our high-educated scientific friends cry with a single voice. What a jolt to their over-stuffed intelligence in the face of a box seat occupancy at the rally Thursday afternoon at the stadium.
That "this is the day for specialists" one is often reminded. Thursday afternoon an hour was given over to "specializing" in yells, under the guise of "Ham." Big yells, little yells, long yellins—in fact all the yells in "Hams" heavy collection and a few more besides, were put through their paces, while the sturdy, yellow voices of such enemies, the "scrub" variety.
For almost an hour, the two teams battled back and forth across the field before the hundreds of football mad fans. However, battle though it was, it proved but an apiece of triumph. "If anything, the practice game but fanned the ever fiery lust for 'wild-cat blood.'"
The wild scream of the Jayhawk,
carried out over the "Crismon valley",
was enough to put terror into
one another. Along with a more

Galloway Attends Meeting
Former Teacher Now Employed as Publicity Director
C. H. Galloway, last year an instructor in the department of journalism, now director of advertising and publicity of the Continental Gas and Electric Corporation, of Omaha, Neb. is on the campus of the Kansas section of the National Electric Light Association.
After leaving the University last spring, Mr. Galloway accepted a position with the Ft. Collins Express Courier as news editor. About five weeks ago he accepted his present position in Omaha.
This week the company with which Mr. Galloway is connected purchased the United Light and Power System which has its headquarters at Ablene and furnishes power to 150 towns and cities in Kansas and Nebraska. The United Light and Power System also included the electric railway between Junction City and Manhattan.
Professor Smart Plans to Resume Work Soon
Prof. T. J. Smart, of the department of rural education, who has been in the hospital at Rosie Internship since Sept. 16, for two serious occasions, is much better and expects to be the University's first of next weeks.
Due to a delayed healing of the wound he was not able to resume his work earlier. His duties consist of organizing and helping rural communities with their educational problems and field work. Professor Smart is the only member of the University faculty who does this kind of work.
had it not been for $d$ early teach we might be spending our afternoons in throwing rocks through the windows of the Ad. building, or lying in ambush for the Chancellor with slingshots.
Every day used to be Dad's day, but Now that we're on the last lap of our educational marathon, there is only one day that the old gent can call his own. When he comes to Mr. Ourel for his brief stay, he will be uncompanied by the razor strap for disciplinary purposes. But he plenty of tongue-lashings for over drawn allowances, eterna.
Between the game, the banquet,
and the after-dinner speeches, there won't be half enough time to tell him about the entracning only girl, and I will keep talking hard; how hard we are studying and how badly we need a boost in our allowance. And when he meets all the boys, sees K. **win** an exciting game, and gets in touch with his best friend, cheerful grin and surreptitiously ships us a twenty under the table.

"Mrs. White's illness does not abate and I fear I cannot be with you Saturday; certainly, she cannail. If I don't, the please please do so, and release me."
A night letter was sent Mr. White by Chancellor Lindley, expressing regret, but urging his attendance if possible, as the success of the banquet virtually hinges upon his presence.

FIFTY KANSAS EDITORS GATHER AT NEWSPAPER ROUND TABLES OF DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM
Problems of Advertising and Country Correspondents Discussed With Classes in Morning Session; Students Entertain Visitors With Tea and Dinner at Commons Tonight
Registration of the members of the K. U. Newpaper Round Tables which is being held under the auspices of the department of journalism began this morning and by noon more than thirty had signed the registrar's book.
Side-Lights
“Put K, U. First.” It comes to our notice that it was a Kansas graduate who was first to put his name on the cover in the editor's register this A. M.
For the first meeting, the editors divided themselves into two groups, one to discuss advertising and the other to discuss country correspondents. The round table discussion of advertising was held in connection with the class in advertising. W. A. Parker, business manager of the Kansas City Kansan, acted as chairman.
Charlie Brown of the Horton Headlight brought his "devil" along with him, 14 year old Chas. Jr. wants to be a prize fighter but Chas. Sr. is for making him "smell the ink" instead of the mit.
Could it be that the grins on the faces of the visiting servivers with the "make up rules" on their coat lapels were glued there by thoughts of getting "pied up" later at the "Commons"?
Funny how thoughts of future bread and butter will inspire a fellow to action. A glance around the "department" this morning would have made one think that politics were with us again.
It's not size that counts—look at our fellow scrivener Little.
We feel like "back watering" on the above statement when we think of Dan Anthony, Goliath of Leavenworth.
Billy Morgan became confidential in a news I class this A. M., advising the cubs not to report what a speaker said, and telling he should have said- Billy for Gov.
Whether the tea and corner grocery cookies served to the editors this afternoon could be labeled "ambrosia" we are not here to say. However the cookies were prepared by the propriate when one thinks of the ethereal qualities of the repast.
"About all a newspaper reporter coins these days are words," sighs the senior journalism cynic. And then he gets bailed out for doing that.
Kansans Must Steer by Stars in Old Ford
The art of steering by the stars is not yet extinct, according to four loyal Jahyhwakers who "wheled" in most every sense of the word) an antique Ford to Lincoln to witness the Kansas-Nebraka football game. They report a wonderful trip, the handicap of having to drive all night through cities and dirt streets, and the constant thought "Will that last piece of hailing wire be sufficient to hold up the engine?" causing them little worry.
Where others became hopelessly mired, these young men merely aligated from their mount, picketed it up and, carrying it to a more spot, gently lowered it to "terra firma", and continued their journey.
Said Ford, with its crimson and blue "Kress Special" paint, and two lordly Jayhawks partly visible behind the house, was the object of much attention in the towns along the route and in Lincoln. At each stop, as soon as the throbbing engine had been quieted, the gathered round to gaze in wonder.
After taking part in the parade and resting quietly during the game, the Ford 'et al' started its home journey, the occupants happy and Henry's much stronger for longer lengths of bailing wire to the weak places.
The boys highly recommend such a trip to those who may be suffering from a disease requiring lots of fresh air.
Twist That Cow's Tail.
Knowlton Parker, advertising manager of the Kansas City Kansan, gave a short talk on the problems of working with persons who had to be "worked on" were those who are not active in advertising. With these it is necessary to demonstrate its advantages, including that it suit the needs of their business.
Carl White, managing editor of the Kansas City Kansan, then spoke upon the need of co-operation between the various departments of the newspaper. "Often it happens," he said. "It leaves that it can do its work without the team work of the other departments. This cannot be done; each department must be aware of the activities of the other. The team environment is necessary between the advertising and the editorial departments."
Discuss Country Correspondence
In another room there was carried on a round table discussion on the problems of the country correspondent which was led by W. C. Simons of the Lawrence Journal-World. The discussion dealt primarily with the issues of handling correspondents and handling the material they presented.
At 11:30 Congressman D. R. Anthony, editor of the Leavenworth Times, spoke to the class in News paper 1. In his opinion "The sue-case report is new and not made." He reported of the course of his first trip to New York. His father, the late D. R. Anthony, then editor of the Leavenworth Times, took him to New York to see Joseph Peltzer, former editor of the newspaper, who was hanging the motto: "When you leave this institution, don't think that you will be a valuable reporter; you will not be a good news writer until you have had experience." A good motto for newspaper reporters to use is "Accency, Formality, and Accuracy."
Talk of Country Advertising
The editors resumed their discussions at 2 p.m., with a group meeting to discuss the problems of advertising for the small daily and weekly newspapers, and after that they divided again for round table discussion on the various phases of the newspaper business.
Tonight, the editors will have dinner at the University Commons as the guests of the journalism department. The program will be brief and will include some informal speeches. Afterward, members of the journalism department. At 8 p. m.; in Fraser chapel will be shown a film which deals with the process of manufacturing paper, from the log of wood to the finished sheet. The film was prepared by the Warren Standard Paper Company, born by the courtesy of the Midwestern Paper Company of Kansas City, Mo.
The visiting editors will be guests of the organized houses of the University.
The program for Saturday thus far includes informal discussions on the members may choose, and visits to the various points of interest in the Journal-World, the editor of the Journal-World, will conduct the party and act as official guide. In the afternoon all the members of the convention will be guests of the University Athletic Board at the football game with the Aggies, and the game may be second from L. N. Flint at the Journalism building.
Roy E. Gillham, assistant store-keeper in the chemistry building, has accused a position with the company as chief clerk. He will leave November 1.
