THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XIX
MANY ARE THRILLED BY SCHUMANN-HEINK
Great Singer Added Personal Touch to Evening of Rarest Charm
GYMNASIUM WAS CROWDED
Violinist and Accompanist Also Contributed Big Share to Entertainment
A house that was packed to the last row and beyond, rose to its feet and greeted me. Ernestine Schumman-Heink with a storm of applause when she made her first appearance last month in Robinson Gymnasium. The house was crowded until standing room was at a premium.
The press reports as to the high quantity of Mine Schumman-Hein's voice and the triumphs which have confirmed in last night's concert.
Her first group won the audience from the start. Ross's "Ab Rendim," followed by "Der Wanderer" and "Wrenlead," all were masterworks of choreasing and of the highest draughtsmanship. Their heroes were her performer, the ollessness of her mezzo声 and the glorious ringing tones of her upper register, thrilled her listeners and brought insistent demands for encroses. She responded with the song, "The Beaming Eyes," written for the American people by 19 foremost composer, Mme. Gertrude Fischer, who turned her peek on her audiences.
Miss Fiore her Hardeman, vistriet,
wen laurens for herself with the group
she played. Her flawless technique,
and exquisite interpretation stabbed
the audience. She first grabbed "Shelmie and
Graudon," which Kreisler has so perfectly arranged was a delight to the audience. The "Capienza" by Kreisler was a lesson in the art of violi
playing, but she reached the elmaxx
line. Her skill in the line's which showed the perfection of her art. She was claimed again by the audience and she left them thrilled
with the simple loveliness of MacDowell's "To a Wild Rose." Miss Hardeman is an artist in the strict sense of the word and the people of MacDowell will be eager to hear her again.
Schumann-Heink's next group in cinematic completes the congest of the audience. She sang for her encores, "Stile Nacht, Heil je Naht" and Etheibect Nein's "Rosari" as only her glorious voice and with all the feeling she possessed and won an ovation from the audience.
Mr. Moessen, her accompanist, contributed a "Rondo" by John Fields and "Valise in E" by Moskowski in excellent style. His shading showed not only that he was a talented musician, but also that he educated in his art to the finest degree.
Quite the loveliest number on the program was Lieurance's "Indian Love Song" with the obligate played with such sheer beauty that it took one's breath. The audience called the trio of artists back and they repeated their choreography Hein-Heng sang the magnificent "Bolero" by Arditi for her last number.
Those who had never before heard the great diva were thrilled and awe by the performance and those to watch. The more she decades declare unhastibly that her once today is as fine and true as it was then and if there be any change it is for the better, in that the man is matured and ripened with the years.
Not only is Schumann-Heink famous for her incomparable voice, but so her has also been given the heart love her fellow men and with her warm sympathy and understanding she charms her listeners and not only do they like her, she also artist, but they dare to love her for herself. The evening was one of rare charm and the large audience was completely en rapport with the singer.

Professor Mix Gives Spraying Method for Eliminating Pests
Those who are furnishing cars for the trip are asked to decorate them with the K, U, colors. All members of the musical organizations are asked to carry plenty of banners and pennants with which to make a KU demonstration upon reaching Topeka.
KILL YOUR OWN DANDELIONS
The method of spraying dandelions as given out by Professor Mix of the department of Botany is applicable to white clover and white clover can be temporarily sacrificed. Blue grass lawns will not be harmed except when sprayed in hot dry weather. It will turn black for months, but marker green than the unnurried grass.
The method of spraying is as in Iowa: spray the lawn with iron sulphate, one and one half pounds to one gallon of water, in April before first blooming period, twice later at intervals of three weeks and once or twice a month. The spray only the surviving dandelion plants. Dandelions should never be sprayed in July or August as spraying in hot weather will kill the grass.
The above plan should practically rid the lawn of dandelions and snake further treatment unnecessary for two or three years, or until new plants have resulted from seed being scattered from neighboring lawns. The lawn of dandelions has been killed out should be rescued other weeds will come in.
The solution will stain cement or stone. A simple portable screen made of lath and muslin, should be used when spraying near walks or buildings. A small sprayer, similar to those used in spraying small fruits or vegetables, can will not give good sprinkling can will not give good results.
Professor Mix has conducted experiments on a plot of ground a few nooks north of Dyche Museum, just a few feet west of the side walk. Here the dandelions are very thick and considering that this plot did not receive the fall spraying his results have been remarkable. His idea is to find out definitely whether or not the method is applicable to Kansas.

Many Engagements Among Secretaries
Have you noticed the epidemic going around among the women in the offices on the Hill? George O. Foster, registrar, says that he comes to his office every Monday morning in fear and trembling expectant to find two or three more advance notice of resignations among his employees.
Every time you see a bunch of women who have escaped from their offices for a few minutes to chat in the halls just draw near and listen, and you will find that they are discussing new and entirely unexpected engagement. Quite often they are still gasping at the suddenness of them.
Mr. Foster desires this secret kept rather dark, though, as he is afraid he will be unable to care for the landside of applicants. Up to date there are six Alumni offices and one from the Alumni Office, who are leaving soon to get married.
In fact, here's a chance for you women who wish to take up home economics. Just go into an office on the Hill and Cupid and Fate will do the rest. As a matrimonial bureau, Registrar's Office is so far in the lead.

VALLEY GOLF TOURNEY
WILL BE PLAYED HERE
Athletic Association Makes Provision For Missouri Valley Schools to Compete
TO PLAY ON MAY 26-27
K. U. Team To Be Organized at Once—Anyone May Try Out
In pursuance of the policy of extension of Inter-collaborate athletic which the K. U. Athletic Association is sponsoring, arrangements have been completed for the holding of a Missouri Valley golf tournament at the Lawrence Country Club links, on May 28 and 27. This meet is set to take place in the track meet and the tennis tournament both of which will be held here.
In former years the golf tournament has always been held in one of the larger cities having teams in the valley conference. Nebraska had the tournament one year at Lincoln, as also did Drake at Des Moines, but for the most part, the meets have been held in smaller tournaments. The tournament here this year was arranged through the efforts of the Athletic Association.
Besides the Valley contests in three lines of sport, there will also be a meeting of the faculty representatives of the Missouri Valley Conference, held here on May 26. On May 27, the coaches of the various teams will meet to arrange the 1923 basketball schedule. These two meetings will also differ in the way among the members of the conteries, and win make all changes and additions to valley rules which they may deem advisable.
There are a number of good golf players attending K. U. at present, and an opportunity will be given, to all who care to try out, to make good and enter the tournament. Among the best players who have signified their willingness and desire to participate in golf are Jack Landeblade, Theodore Bornstein and Riley. Aside from these four there are a number of others who are doubles several more who will make good varsity golf material.
The plan of the Athletic Association to broaden the scope of inter-collegiate athletics, has been undertaken with the end in view of offering an opportunity to a larger percentage of University students, to take part in varsity athletics and win a letter for having represented the University in athletic competition. During the present school year, inter-collegiate athletics will be played in intra-mural swimming and handball tournaments have been held with a view to developing men for varsity teams later.
In addition to the tennis courts which are maintained on the south side of the camps, the Athletic Association is constructing two new ones just south of the Stadium field. These two courts will be used for the tournament games May 26 and 27, if weather conditions will allow them to be complied with. In order to make the two courts among the best in the Valley, will run up to about $1,000.00 which will be paid out of the Athletic Association funds.
'GAILY KANSAN' MAKES DEBUT
Rival of Daily Kansan Published By N. Y. Alumni
The University Daily Kansan has a rival. The University of Kansas Alumni in New York published a paper April 28, which they called "The Gaily Kansan." The paper was occasioned by the K.

The Kansan carries personal items such as books, cards and the addresses and accomplishments of the native Kansans in the east. It is a four-column, two page publication.
The dinner, at which the "Gally Kansan," appeared in a "get-together" of the K. U. people. The affair was called the Big Spring Dinner. "K. U. and professional entertainers, songs, artists, short, snappy speaches, ice cream, a skirt dance," were the features as advertised in the "Gaily Kansan."

ZOOLOGY CLASSES INSPECT
Students to Hear How Museum Collection Started
Prof. B, M. Allen, of the department of zoology took his classes on a trip through the Museum at 2:30 and 4:30 o'clock Monday afternoon.
The trip was for the purpose of showing the students the many specimens of pre-historic animals and repipies which have been collected in past years and mounted in the Museum. Professor Allen gave short lectures on pre-historic specimens, telling their size, development and conditions u which they lived.
Among the stories told by Professor Allen was one about the late Chancellor Snow, after whom Snow Hall was named. According to the story Chancellor Snow and a party of men had gone to the Wakaura river on a fishing trip. Chancellor Snow, befriending from which to try his angling ability, jumped to what he thought was a log quite a distance from the bank. His footing was not secure and he slid off into the water. He grabbed for the object and was very much surprised to find it was a massive pair of jaws instead of a tree stump. With the aid of the other man in the boat, they were brought to the river bank and they were brought to the museum the next day.
The jaws, which were found to be those of a giant dastonod were mounted by H. T. Martin the curator of the museum. This specimen found in such an accidental manner in such a cave, is remarkable and perhaps the starter of the new famous paleontological collection now housed in the museum.
Theses of Edith Hess is Accepted for Publication
