Sixty-Voice Choir To Sing Oratorio Of "The Messiah"
Presbyterian Church Chorus of Topeka to Appear For All-University Vespers
Handel's "The Messiah" will be sung at the all-University vesper to be held in the Congregational Church here Sunday, March 24, 1738. The choir is led by Presbyterian Church of Topeka. The choir consists of sixty voices under the direction of Theodore H. Post, of the department of music at Washburn Col-
In addition to the chorus are alrs. Howard S. Searle, soprano; Mrs. Henry J. Dotterweich, alto; Howard S. Searle, teenor; and Horace B. Bowman, baritone; and Miss Ethel Fritzell, organist a skilful interpreter of sacred music. The singers do both solo work and quartet.
"Chorus is Well T ained"
"It has a well-trained, well-balanced chorus," said the critic for the Topeka Capital following the singing of "The Messiah" in Topeka on Christmas Eve. The rendition of the *Calligraphy* chorus was *Born* and *Stars* all the final pieces and secrely inferior was the all pieces, *Worthy the Lamb.*
The great oratorio is divided into three parts. Part ore has to do with the prophecies of the coming of the Redeemer and the fulfillment. Part two deals with His Passion and Triumph, and the climax is reached in the great "Hallelujah" chorus. The third part is short and deals with the Resurrection and ends with the chorus, "Worly is the Lamb That was Shain." The words throughout are from our favorite Special selections are "Comfort Ye My People," tenr recitative; "He Shall Feed His Flock," alto; and "Why do the Nations so Furiously Rage Together?" baritone.
Mixed Onartet Blends Well
"I have rarely heard a mixed quartet in which there was so beautiful a blending of voices as in the number, 'And He Shall Purify.' And the solo parts—each voice, whether soprao, alto, tenor, or harpian, had its distinctive appeal and haunts my subconsciousness as I endeavor to touch on the presentation of the oratorio as a whole. Were it secular instead of a sacred one? No, all stars in all star cast. As it is, I can only say that we a source of delight to find so many fine voices blended in one church in Topeka."
"The Messiah" is being brought here by the Council of Religious Workers of Lawrence as a part of the Religious Wesk on the Hill. It was postponed from March 18 because of the storm and will be given in the Congregationalism conference that itself announced. The Lela Belt, chairman of the vesper committee, expressed the hope that as many of the students as possible would go to hear this famous oratorio.

Sophomore Party Set for April 6, Will be Informal.
"Hop Decorations Will be One of Biggest Features." Says Manager Semon
"The date of the Sophomore Hop has been definitely fixed for Friday, April 6," said Lionel Soman, Sophomore Manager, in an interview morning.
"The party this year is to be strictly informal as has been the custom for the past few years. Since the party is scheduled for Friday night, it will be a one o'clock party. Dancing will not be interrupted that evening, usually one hour or more that is taken up by the setting of a dinner."
No Dinner to be Served
"The budget allowed by the auditing committee will not permit as elaborate a party as the sophomore classes have been giving in the past," said Mr. Semon. "No dinner will be served at the party, as it is supposed to be." The party will be the auditing committee. It is also the general opinion that the students would rather spend the hour taken up by the serving of a dinner for dancing, instead of having an unsatisfactory dinner. However, the budget is sufficient to allow us to engage the best music, and entertain the guests, which will be the big feature of the party," said Mr. Semon.
Price Reduced to Two Dollars
Price reduction The price of an admission from four dollars to two dollars will make the Hop the most popular hill party of the year. Mr. Semon is certain of having good music for the party, as the larger items of expense will be the music and the decorations.

Do You Own Stadium-Union Stock?
"It itse better constructed, is cleaner than most college papers, and has well-written articles. It is very business-like and gives attention to the things which are of most interest rather than jokes and trivial articles as is the case with most college publications. The Very little shanz paper is another article and few papers are so free from this practice, and it is a pleasure to find that our paper is among those few," he said.
University Daily Kansan is Favorably Compared

"Effect of Thinking On Society," Subject Of Cason's Radio Talk
Thought and Consideration Must be Given Vital Questions of Present
"It is to be regretted that human nature changes slowly. Most of us reach the age of twenty with ideas on a great many subjects, the large majority of which we simply associate from our close associates," said Hulsey Cauley, associate professor of the department. "The Effect of Thinking on Society," broadcast by WDAF, the Kansas City Star, last night.
"No matter how optimistic we would like to be, we have to admit that the world is in bad shape at the present time. Several governments are in an unstable condition, there is political unrest everywhere and there is a very unequal distribution of wealth," said Professor Cason.
- professor Cason concluded his address by explaining suffrage as a forward step. "As an example of the effect of thinking on society, take the matter of woman suffrage. Only a few years ago almost everybody, women included, was convinced that the doctrine of equal political rights for the sexes was not just. We have changed our mina. on this question. But the latter has still not been clear. Many other changes could be brought about by getting people to think squarely about certain vital questions."
"Now we would not say that the world has not changed for the better. We now have a spoken and written language. We have a history, a civilization. We have ideas on how a government should be run. Seen in ancient Egypt, man habit remarkably, and the imagination of man can penetrate to the far corners of the universe. We believe that great progress has been made in the past, and we also believe that even greater progress can be made in explaining that the world grows better.

Social Worker Talks To Economic Class On European Question
"Problems of Europe Must be Faced in America," Says H. W. Laidler
"Practically all of the problem Europe is facing today will have to be faced here in America. We have an integrated life, and can not keep up with the changes." Harry W. Laidler, director of National Bureau of Economic Reserve, in speaking to classes in economics on the morning on the socialist theory.
"The dream of the new social order is becoming more vivid," said Mr. Laidir. "In spite of ourselves a tidal wave is carrying us away from private control to public control in one form or another. Throughout the continent the labor groups are aiming at socialized industry.
"Workers are organized as students in Europe. These students consider labor problems, and study the characteristics of utility to society rather than from the common view point of profit. There is a definite alliance between learning and labor in the quest for progress in order in England," said Mr. Laidler.
Mr. Laidler has studied the question of democracy in industry, and the part played by labor in the new social order of Europe with great success in the United States in 1921. While there he interviewed such labor leaders as Bernard Shaw, Sidney Alden, and Mr. McDonald of the English Labor party.
In speaking before the Economics Club yesterday afternoon, Mr. Laidler said that the greatest challenge for the industrial economy is industrial democracy. Civilization of the present age is not permanent and the change most needed now is one involving a greater socialization and systematizing of industry. We have to work together do your best to solve them, knowing facts on all sides," he concluded.
