Oratorio Based on Legend
Professor Skillon o 'nined today that the oratoric and upon a legend handed down to the early Moravian settlers of the Carolinas. For years the composer planned on the prierie people, and in 1919 he told the legend to Abbie Farwell Brown, a well known librettist.
The poet was spending the summer at the MacDowell colony for musicians at Peterborough, N. H., and with the aid of the composer, the poem was made up of songs he wrote with the oratorio, hoping for a chance to have the work sung by one of the larger choruses of the country, until last spring. At that time, Ms. Ariah Karko of Arkansas and Ms. Stella Federation of Music Clubs, and she went to Dean Henry V. Stearns of Washoula College for a suggestion as to how best to work out the federation's program of encouraging Kansas music and music education.
Stearns Praises Work
Dean Stearns told the federation president of the unpublished Skilton oratorio, and recommended that the organization sponsor the first performance and arrange for the publication of the work.
As a result of speeches by Dean Stearns and others, the federation unanimously voted to undertake the presentation, and a wire was sent to the music publishers in New York who agreed to undertake the publication sponsored by the federation. After consulting with the publishers, were completed for publication of the work and plans were made for its presentation next spring.
Lawrence has heard the intermezzo from the first part of "The Guardian Angel," for Professor Skilton wrote an arrangement of "The Children at Play" at the request of the leader of the Flowerale剧场. And here he sees this intermezzo at its last concert in Lawrence at the spring of 1922.
Dormitory for Women to Be Ready Next Year

The contractors are experiencing many difficulties in excavating for the basement of the building, according to Mr. Olmstead. A pit is feet deep must be dug, which means the depth of many layers of solid sandstone.

Autogiro Meets Approval
Airplane With Revolving Wings Favored by British
London, Nov. 3. — "The most important step in aeronautical progress since the Wright brothers flew the first airplane," is the way that Vice-Marshall Sefton Foster was the autogiro, invented by a Spanish civil engineer.
Obsence Service
The autogroo or, as it might have been called, "airplane with revolving wings," has received very favorable ratings. It has been given little attention by American air experts. The plane has much shorter wings than the ordinary airplane but to take its place on a vehicle the pilot must ride on a vehicle axis above the fuselage which exerts a force downward tending to keep the craft from falling. This permits the plane to leave the ground speed of 15 miles an hour.
It is claimed that the autogiro is not affected by loss of speed. An engine failure, a sudden "nose up", or a very sharp turn will affect the rotation of the wheel while the maintaining blades will permit a landing at a very low speed.
Dean H. W, Aramt of the School of aw will speak on the subject, "The court of International Justice" in Professor Frazer hall tomorrow night
Arant to Explain U. S.
Relation to World Court
On the other hand it is admitted that the autogiro will probably be unable to do any looping or other stunts and are performed by fighting airplanes.
Dean Arant has made frequent talks upon this subject and has followed the course of current events. His talk will be an effort to have students understand the United position in reward to the World Court.
This will be the third series of the University forum on international relations; and it promises to be one of the most interesting of the group.

How student criticism was employed in the actual revision of two courses in Fundamentals of Education at the University of Kansas, is told in an article written by Prof. F. P. O'Brien in a recent issue of Educational Administration and Supervision.

The students showed marked agreement as to the most valuable and less valuable portions of the two courses.

New Opinions of Nation Expressed by Arthur Capper
Convocation Address Deals
With Many Problems
Handled by U. S.
Congress
“What we need in this country is not more laws, but stricter and more impartial enforcement of existing cases,” is the opinion expressed by Senator Arthur Capper in his address at the all-University convention in Robinson gymnasium this week to prompt administration of justice which would punish all alike, in the prime need of the moment.
"Nine out of every ten senators have the best interests of the nation at heart and are doing their best to serve loyally the district which sent them," the speaker stated. "My experience in the senate has convinced my that there are no misunderstandings, but, nevertheless, it is a worth while body which seeks to promote legislation of the best type."
Too Many Laws Presented
Among the defects of the upper house in the federal government, the following ones were discussed by the senator; the introduction of too many laws into congress, the use of too much "wind-jamming," and using too many agencies abundance of "red-tape" practices in carrying out the policies of government. "Over 50,000 new laws have been presented before congress in the past 20 yards." Senator Camper stated, "Eighteen thousand of these were introduced at the last session of Congress this number only 430 were passed."
The senator commended the stand of Colonel William Mitchell on the evitation question very highly in his own right, and said he was "right track," he stated, "and I am gnud that we have such a man who has nerve enough to speak what he believes to be best for our country, I am behind him whole-heartedly, and I know why. We are aided in every manner possible." A large portion of the senator's address was given to a discussion of "Interesting Personalities at Washington," in which he gave intimate insights about many of our national officials.
President Coolidge's Motto
"President Coulidge is a stalker for old fashioned style of living, but he is making a success as chief executive," is the belief expressed by the speaker. "He is a typical, hard-boiled, New England economist who is content without the fus, fineries and feathers so characteristic of modern life. He, too, is very quiet and on his mountio that he keeps on his desk in the White House is very characteristic of him:
There was an old owl who lived in an oak
The more he saw, the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard; Why can't we be like that old bird?" Mr. Coolidge was enlisted by the senator as a genius, charming person; and Herbert Hoover and Andrew Johnson were characterists most useful business men in Washington.
At the close of the address, Senator Capper admonished the youths of the University to work for the best interests in public life. "Get into politics in an active way, allign yourselves with others," he said. Callen a habit of broad, constructive thinking along lines of public welfare," he advised.
Senator Praises Kansas
"You have a wonderful state, in which to live and work. Kanna is the best state in the Union; it develops a fighting spirit, a sense of fairness, a discouragement to radicalism, and a spirit of hospitality and friendliness that can be equaled anywhere else. Moreover, as many inspiring and attractive opportunities are here as in any chain of the union."
A short pop rally, led by Lloyd Yeume, cheerleader, and a number of band selections preceded the address.
