ANOTHER NEW FACE
SUNDAY, MAY 2. 1926
Now that the excitement and bounce of preparation for the dedication of the Union building is past, we should take time to notice and appreciate the less spectacular additions to campus layouts which are rapidly taking form.
The most important of these is Watkins hall, new dormitory for women. This building represents a type of gift which is practically unique here. University halls, built through the generosity of alumni, are common enough in Eastern schools, particularly of the endowed type. But this plan has never been established at Kansas, and the beginning of the practice is of distinct benefit to the institution.
EVERYTHING COUNTS
Mrs. J. B. Watkins has long been known as a friend of the University of Kansas and it is pleasing to everyone interested in K. U. to know that this new building, bearing her name, can stand witness to her unceasing efforts in its behalf.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
If the recent nation-wide flood of publicity over her "secret" divorce in Ella Wheeler Wilcox's idea of keeping it quiet, it would be interesting to speculate on the necessary increase in production if she got into any scandal.
Again we say, "Spring is here." But it is neither this nor that with what we want to talk about. The time of year doesn't matter nor the time of the day or week. We have something on our chest we want to get off. It's been there for a long time, pushing with the force of a starved bobot.
Simply this, for a long, long time (perhaps since the establishment of the University) there has been an apparent lack of organization in a certain class of individuals. We propose to start a campaign to organize them in order that they may gain official recognition.
This class is no more nor less than the little groups that spontaneously arise in the fraternity and rooming houses for the purpose of discussion and analysis of any topic. Particularly they arise when there are quizzes to be studied for or when studying is in any way undulling.
"Bull fests" or "bull sessions" are the common terms applied to those informal open forum meetings. The assembled group proceeds to settle national and world questions in the course of the evening, without fear or favor. Theology, eugenics or politics are popular topics. Ethics, history, economics, physics, astronomy, all are discussed, in brief, any conceivable subject will be given due and just consideration.
Rare indeed are the discussions that follow. Still rarer is the individual expression brought forth. The most timid of the tidal entrists whole-heartedly into the meeting. Believe it or not, here gems of knowledge are dropped and individuality is shown. Bedtime comes and the little group disperses, each individual enlightened, bearing new facts and opinions away.
Truly, this miniature college of liberal arts and sciences should be organized in order to gain official recognition. Intellectual recreation should be encouraged and promoted.
A Chicago judge says that a young man of 23, earning $25 a week who is not married or engaged is an undesirable citizen. We know a lot of girl who won't agree with that statement.
Truth in advertising seems to be taken seriously by the Ottawa drug-guy who advertises that he sells plaques, displays, textbooks and glass jewelry."
Streetsmen but happy days are just around the corner for boys and girls who are fortunate enough to be of childhood. "Most day" of school is almost in sight.
THE HAPPY THRONG
The may university or college senior sees his college career drawing to a close. The high school senior is about to realize the ambition he has cherished for four years. Still another group, perhaps the most sophisticated of all, is about to reach the goal it has sought for eight years. The eighth-grader, the high school and college students who are completing their courses—all will enjoy for a few fleeting days the glory of being a "senior." A long looked for goal is about to be reached, and they breathe deeply from pure joy of attainment.
But after invitations have been sent, presents and diplomas received, after occasions of pump and ceremonial has passed, what then?
---
First, the realization that success itself really hasn't been attained—only a mile-post passed on the way. The college graduate will start work now with business success as his goal. The high school senior chooses his school of higher learning and settles down to four more years of work with a college degree in view. The eightth grade graduate enters that glorious stage of being a high school graduate.
And the happy throng moves on.
No Jasmino, just because they call him a full professor he isn't necessarily tanked.
At the Concert
The program played by the Minnesotaapolis Symphony Orchestra Friday afternoon was superlatively interesting from beginning to end.
The orchestra, under the direction of its conductor, Herri Verlhugben, is in splendid condition, and gave capacity audiences Friday afternoon and evening a program which would be difficult to duplicate.
The afternoon began with the Overture to the "Mastersingers of Narcissism," which introduced the Second number, Symphony No. 1, in E Flat major, Opus 25, "The Rustic Wedding" was rich in narrative imagery and imagination, and wealth of melody.
Mr. Henry J. Williams, harpist with the orchestra, played a group of selected harp solos, which were received with such cuttinism by the audience that he played three old Scottish neobellins, "Jane," "Touch the Rye" and "Anne Laurie."
The Ellegy for strings from Tashaeli kowdy, was the one number in the afternoon's program which had no special story to convey.
The last number, Cortege, from "The Queen of Sheba," was a number in which the entire orchestra threw every ounce of power and mastery.
Mr. Verbruggen spoke a word of explanation concerning the two censors in the case, a recital composition by Rimsky-Koralev, "The Bunaleader," the second was a composition by Alfred Hill, the music of the New Zealander.
At the evening program the audience was much more receptive. It opened with the Overture to "Oberon," by Weber.
The Symphony in D Minor, Cearn Franch, was the high point of the program. The two themes predisposed through the work, known as the "Mother Symphony."
The last number on the program,
three pieces from "The Damnation of
Paul." consisted of the Minute of
the Martyr, and one of the Sylphs,
and the Rakekoz March.
The Prelude to "Khwantheintah",
from Moussorgsky's opera, is the story
of the breaking of dawn over the Red
Square in the Kremlin, at Moscow.
For encore, Mr. Vorbrugben named some old favorites which he would be glad to play, and, from the volume of anplauses, chose Schubert's "Moment Musicale," and Mendelssohn's "Spring Song."
Miss Jennette Vreeland, soloist, sang the aria, "Me vole scuta da la nuutt" from "The Pearl Fisher," and sang the song, "romo by Romco and Jusit." He clear, and beautifully rich in quality, was accompanied by a charm of personality which the audience with her first number. She sang as en chorus for the premiere of Ronald, and Brewer's "Fairy Pipe." To those who were fortunate enough to attend one or both of the programs of the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra, Friday will remain a high spot of opportunity and enjoyment. - M.M.
seem to communicate, townwomen, like reporters in University towns," "Protect me from reporters," she phoned down to the cierk at the desk of the Eldridge hotel the night she arrived. "In a University town they always ask such silly questions. They invariably end with, 'And do you like it?' Or don't you think what in these left for me to say but 'yes'?" But in this case it wasn't the University reporters that asked her that silly question.
Music Week Notes
--future over received at an English fiction for the MS of an English author sold during his lifetime. The first version was in existence of the original manuscript, is about half of the work and shows many changes from the printed version, the first chapter being so short that it does not contain words remain in the printed text.
After her concert Wednesday night, Madime Schumm-Henk went behind the improvised screen to don her mandacaupe, and wrap her head in a scarf. She sat inside where white out-of-flows. People who had heard her years before rushed back to see her. To everyone she extended her hand and said "good night child," and there were those who spoke to her in German she replied with a n rush of eloquence.
"Do you remember Lieutenant Bob Mitchell?" one student asked her. "Do you remember your mom? Ivan was my son, my own son. I took him by adoption, through the court, you
There are jokers among the personnel of the orchestra. After Mr. Williams completed his selections on the harp and left the platform, a young violinist and a cornet player rushed to him, pumped his hands up, and began to play in unison, back toward the stage, very red of face, to give his encounters.
"But Bob is in load," she replied sadly, "a broken wing." — She shrugged her head and then said, "Someone so dead in so short a time," he held up two fingers to show the infinitive period in which the news of four cold beatenement reached her.
"He flew with my brother all during the war," the student rented.
A pay check to the members of the orchestra is an interesting as to the members of any laboring group. The concert master came up to the plasterer to have a portrait with an acrylic with a little yellow envelope in his hand. Immediately every member on the stage went downstairs, and the conductor and one and a very pleasant expression.
The members of the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra like the view from our gymnasium window. "Hid" was written to him, and he视之 to a violinist, "it is marvelous."
Miss Cullen, the one woman in the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, has been with Mr. Verbrughen, her teacher, since she was 13 years old. At first she was in his quartet, then she went to the orchestra three years, will be with it three more, and then, "Who knows?" as she says.
Mr. Verbrunghen has three sons in Australia. One is a doctor and two are runchers.
The orchestra has Saturday to lay over in Kansas City, then go to Sedalia, Mo., then Columbian, then the University of Illinois, and then Chicago. "We like universities," they say.
Another Texax novel by Ruth Cross has just been published by Harper's under the title, "The Unknown God of Death," and the author of "The Golden Cocoon,"
Lovers of mystery stories will find a particularly ingenious and baffling one in "The Silver Forest" by Bam Ames Williams, announced for early June 2015. The author is the same author included in "The Rational Audiacy," and "Evered."
W. H. Hudson's novel "Fan: The Story of a Young Girl Life," just past the age of 18, was originally issued in 1892 under the pseudonym of "Henry Harford." It is the story of a young girl telling how she rose from sordid and miserable beginnings to become a beloved wife. This is Hudson's only novel in the ordinary sense of the word. The story is told with the delicacy of perception and the serene style characteristic of Hudson's work.
BOOK NOTES
London dispatches all comment on the fact that the £1,500 paid for part of the manuscript of Thomas Hardy's "A Pair of Blue Eyes" is the biggest
Reports from 102 bookssellers in 92 cities of the United States, compiled by the R. R. Bower Company, publishers of "Books of the Month," place Charles G. Norris' novel "Pig Iron" in his library for the month of March in spite of the fact that it was not published until March 5.
"The Birth of the God" by Dmitri Merkeschkov, a Dutton book which will appear very shortly, is a story of ancient Crete, the background hept that wonderful Babylon civilization of the Platins. The plot deals with the unrequited love of a Babybonion merchant for a virgin priestess, and the climax is the rescue of the priestess by her lover after she has been condemned to be burn alive. A leading character, afterward King of Egypt—S. I.
Campus Opinion
---
No doubt someone will lament the fact that by the time the memorial exercises were two-thirds finished, about the only students remaining in class at the time, he when one takes the liberty to make a critical analysis of the leading address of the occasion, he begins to marvel that the R. O. T. C. and bond
The statement that the 4,000,000 people who voted to be independent have done is not true. Huns and Vandals would not go now, even in the most back-woods communities. The fact that they don't bank on a university audience, trained to think for itself, and worse than their predecessors was the memorial to the man who gave their lives in the World War I is not true.
If the speaker thinks that the american people are still under the same threat, they should save mankind, to defend civilization, and to make the world safe for demons. In the sand and allowed eight years of very illuminating history to roll by, the mankind will be saved.
Yes, we students of the University still believe in the phlogiston theory of matter, that horse hair turn into steam to escape ghosts, but some of us bulk when a speaker tries to cram eight-year-old war propaganda and rank political intolerance down our throats on the occultation of a memorial building — L. C.
Two students were standing in front of the museum the other day during the period two teachers whites. One of them wrote, "This is funny place. Down below they take new bones and break them to pieces, and on the third floor they take old bones and put them together."
There are six or seven ways on conducting percentage," said a professor to one of his classes. "I can't remember any of them now."
Over in "Merrie Olde England" the arrival of a royal princess baby to London is a thrilling story he ably led by the booming of cannery in London. The rest of the night was probably spent trying to quiet the poor boy, who would suck such a bucket so early in its life.
Plain Tales From the Hill
In their campaign against the brigades of insurance agents turned loose on the unsuspecting seniors, the latter are reported to have retreated to the second line trenches and it is believed that they retreated in contemplated some times before June 1, leaving the agents in possession of the field.
In one of the intramural basketball games one of the players tripped on an opponent's leg and went sprawling on the floor. The ball was put out of bounds and a spectator shouted as from the floor, "Bid him trip you?"
"Oh, no," the player yelled back "It was just a board flew up and hit me."
A hard-boiled chemistry professor tacked the following notice on his laboratory door:
Keep Out; I Have Work to Do.
A hard bolted student read the notice and added:
Congratulations; The Change Will Do You Good.
For A Sunday Evening
It would seem that no one is safe from motorists these days. A headline the other day reported "General Hospital Run Down." It is pretty serious when the motorists turn on the hospital.
