Handel's Messiah Sung by 400 Voices Opens Music Week
Every Musical Organization in Lawrence to Have Part in Musical Festival
"Music week, which will be observed in Lawrence starting now, will probably be the most stumpenous effort of its kind that has ever been attempted by any city in the state," said D. M. Sawthout, of the School of Fine Arts, "Both because of its completeness of representation, and of its quality. Every musical organization, including University, and of Haskell Institute will participate in the programs."
Special Service At Churches
This morning, special musical services will be held at all of the churches in the city. This afternoon there will be a Haskell hand concert on their campus. At 6:00 p.m. midschool students will be given under the direction of Dean Swarthout, with the University symphony orchestra of 47 pieces assisting. The Baker University choral society of 40 will also assist. The soloists are four of the most promising voices that have been in the School for Music. Dean Swarthout; they are: Miss Peebody, Miss Mera Neeby, Martin Hall, and Mert Earl Miller.
Not only all the favorite choruses from the Messiah, "Uituo Us Uitaho is born," with its stupendous climax, the great Halladugchorus, the Choral Amen chorus, possibly the most vocal music, but certain new choruses not used last year will be included as well as a number of new solos. It promises to be one of the most noble productions of the Messiah ever given in the state, both in secular and liturgical. All churches are closing their evening services, and are asking their congregations to aid in this evening of religious music.
Band to Play
Of interest to the University, will be the University Band concert, and the annual spring concert of the University Women's Glee Club, Monday evening, and the combined concert of the Men's Glee Clubs from Washburn College and University of Kansas Tuesday evening.
The second choral evening will be the presentation of the Verdi's Requiem. It will be given with an orchestra of 54 pieces and four singers from Chicago. All are oratorioists of experience and have appeared with prominent choral societies of the middle west. The choruses range from delicate singing to a climax of power. It is the type of music found in the laymen's music. Seats for the Requiem may be reserved at the School of Fine Arts, at Bell's Music store, or at the Round Corner drug store.
The Minneapolis Symphony orchestra will give concerts both or- day afternoon and evening, and the musical organizations of the city and schools will assist in filling out the program.

Van Reports Addition to Bobbed Hair Ranks
"Sure I got a good story for you," said Van the Animal Man as he led the reporter into the room with the monkeys and motioned him to a
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCER, KANSAS, SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 1925
"It's like this: About two weeks ago Marie and Mary—they're my sheep—taken to another town. Said Marie to Marie, "Let's get bobbed." Said Mary to Marie, "I'dye support Van w曼 would can ank him." "Well we can ask him. So he did."
"I said, 'Why I don't care.' That same event when he came back past their sleep, they went into their heads sticking out. They had been to the barber's all right. How do you like us?" the man said. "I feel, I said, 'You real cute.'"
"Then they stepped out and I saw that they were bobbed all over. I kindled blush and shut my eyes for a minute. But then I opened them and took a good look and then I said, 'Why girls you are cute!'
Christ Can Teach Us Value of Human Being, Says Page at Commons
Ted Shultz Outlines Plans of Program Committee for Estes Park
Dr. Kirby Page in an address at the Commons Friday evening, which was the third of a series of talks given by him, gave two things that Jesus can do for this generation. He can teach us the value of human beings, and can teach us how to overcome evil, said Doctor Page.
"In China," said Doctor Page "there is a 'Baby Tower' where bables are thrown who are not wandered in homes. This in an extreme form that, throughout the world, there is no cheaper shop than human life.
"We need a re-evaluation of human personality. In this country there is a tendency toward treating persons impersonally, and toward classifying them. They are crowded into cities like New York and Paris, people like droves of animals. It is a misfortune to live in the city. "Also, persons are classified as Jews, immigrants, Negroes, Japs, Chinese, Reds, and are treated as such. We lose sight of individual worth. Christ broke through these classifications as he did with the Samaritan woman at the door. Regard of the value of human beings is at the foundation of all expoitions."
"There is only one way to overcome evil and that is by living a quality of life. We must incarneate in life toward all people, an attitude of unbroken forgiveness, and serve men and women for evil doctors just as Christ did."
Ted Shultz, chairman of the program committee for Estes Park, outlined plans for the Estes Park conferences for this summer. Dean Dyer, Margery Day, Bob Campbell, Ted Banker, Dick Hanson, Helen Marcel and Claton Croster gave shoot alks on Estes Park.
In the special session of the Page Institute held Saturday morning, Mr. Page stated that the basic cause of war were international hatred, first; and the subsequent daily political organization lage behind industrial development, second.
"The way to avert international warfare," said Mr. Page, "is to perfect a method to settle economic disputes without violence."
Prof. C. S. Skilton will deliver a lecture on Indian music before Prof. F. W. Blackman's class on Social Evolution and Culture on Monday, May 4, at 4:30 in the auditorium of central administration.

It was made by the student at the school and shown all over the country by the Indiana Oil Company.
Many Old Timers Gather to Attend Reunion on Hil
Chancellor Lindley Deliver Address of Welcome; First Conclave Since 1913
one hundred or more old settlers attended the reunion held by the University in central Administration building Saturday afternoon. The gathering took place by the department of journalism connection with the Journal-World.
The reunion was for the old setters of Lawrence, especially for those who were here at the time of the Quantrell raid. It is the first one held since the one the Journal- World held in 1913.
E. H. Lindley, chancellor of the University, gave the address of welcome. He told of the history that Lawrence had experienced. Lawrence, of the suffering that the early inhabitants had had to go through in order for that history to be made. He spoke of Lawrence as a teacher of all of the towns of this size.
"Lawrence became the holy land for any land is a holy land if the people have given all that they are allowed to take from the fathers of the people of Lawrence have done that. True there are few places in America where people could gather and have such a place for their recollections as a back ground.
"Great ideas attract great people," said Mr. Lindley. "Great ideas are set on fire by great people."
"All of you who are here have seen some of the very worst of civilization, but at the time that you were seeing these horrible things you were also having the opportunity to see the beginning of a great history and of a great cause. There was growth out of blood and out of sacrifice. The law of sacrifice you know has been in operation ever since history began."
After the welcome address songs were sung, led by the Baptist quartet, Mr. Blake sang about helping in the singing. How ever, by the third or fourth song the familiarity of the old songs was so great that the audience seemed to forget it and helped sing.
Such songs as "Song of the Kan-
kan Immigrant Mother," "Battie,"
"Battie, Mother," "John Brown,
Body" "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp,"
"Bears are Marching," and "Tentin'
Bears are Marching."
The survivors of the raided told their experiences or of those of their acquaintances. Stories and talks at meetings with Ms. Linda Custer, Mrs. W. A. Simpson, Mrs. Paul Brooks, Mrs. Anna Johnson, Miss Hannah Olivet Mrs. A. D. W. Weaver, and Mrs. Anni Gilbert, Miss Hannah Olivet George H. Edwards, Kansas City, Mo

OLD TIMES
W. A. Coleman, the oldest man born in Kansas now living, was at the raid reunion. Although he saw only the smoke of the raiders himself, his brother was one of three men in an entire company who was not killed.
J. F. Morgan was there. He was seven years old at the time of the raid, He with his mother and brother were in the house, and the raiders set fire to the straw mattresses and burned the house down. Only at his mother's earnest pleading was his brother saved from death. He was taken away in the raid. Pi. Scott the day of the raid.
--the "ole swimmin' hole" with improvements has become, with the coming of the warm spring days, the Mecca toward which an increasing number of aquatic pilgrims daily march.
Mr. and Mrs, J. M. Henry saw Skagg, the Bushwhacker, shot. Only his mother's training saved him, Mr. Henry said. He went home to their farm the night preceding the murder of his brother, and his two friends who stayed in Lawrence have never been heard of since the day of the raid.
E. E. Dix, of Ft. Scott, came over *o* Lawrence for the reception. His father and uncle were killed in an attempt to fight the raiders.
P. H. Weeks, who was there, was in a Missouri regiment which scouted after the Bushwhackers, as theraid were called, before they ever came to battle. But when he lost four men to every one that it killed, but it was worth it.
C. S. Cewer told of seeing Quantrell and his men come driving past his house, shooting in every direction with their guns in both hands.
Ex-Mayor George H. Edwards, of Kansas City, and his wife, were there, Mrs. Edwards went through theraid at the age of 21 months. She with her family moved from the prairie by an old colored nurse, Phoche. She first threw a feather mattress out of a burning window, and then threw the three children on it. Later she raised them in one of the numerous ravines.
D. M. Bales was in Plymouth, Kan.

L. M. Walker, whose father cap-
ured Skaggs, the only raider killed
was there. Mr. Walker's mother
nolded the bail that shot Skaggs
and caused him to surrender. He
was later killed.
Charles Tucker first suggested the 60th anniversary of those who remembered the raid, which was held in June 1913. He joined the Journal World on Aug. 21, 1913.
Miss Hannah Oliver, associate professor of Latin, whose story of Quanrell's raid was published all over the country shortly after the raid, was there. Their house was saved by D'onnell of Todd's company from June 2013; his body was found Miss Oliver's mother shower him some trinkets brought from the "old country" and he was from the "old sod" also.

Ground Breaking for Union Building to Begin in June
New Auditorium Will Separate from Union Building, Board
Decides
Ground breaking for the new Union building will be a part of the commencement program this year. T. N. Veach, president of the University Alumni Association, has been authorized to arrange the program. The building will stand north of the Dyche museum.
The executive committees in charge of the Union and the auditorium building have agreed that it is impracticable to unite the two buildings. The Union building will be prepared separately as soon as possible.
The first section of the Union is to be built at a cost of $275,000 and the completed building will extend from Oread avenue to Mississippi street.
The main difficulty to overcome in combining the two structures was to find a site available for the two.
The auditorium would be the large building and would be *cf* a different architectural structure than the Union and the combination would not be pleasing. The auditorium will be larger and more accessible to accommodate large crowds and so it will have to be of a different architecture.
Although the $250,000 for the construction of the new auditorium was voted at the last session of the legislature, no definite time for the construction was set. At the time that a new auditorium was voted for the building, it was deemed necessary of the building of a new dormitory for the Agricultural College.

With Spring's Coming
Water Calls to Youth
Potter Lake, the Hill's swimming hole, is fed by the numerous small springs that open into it and by water which drains down from the higher ground. Several times the lake has rises, but it is approximately eighteen feet deep in the center, gradually sloping down to from two and three feet depth around the edge. It has been deepened and cleared out several times, and the stone wall which encircles it added to prevent the caving in of it.
It is equipped with a wharf, a diving board, and a two-platform tower. Its advantageous location makes it possible for students to swim there daily. The sight of yellow slickered and bathore clad figures going toward the lake has again become a common occurrence.

Nine Organizations on Campus Have Made Contributions to Campaign
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce has renewed the drive for funds to build a new hotel down town, that was first started two years ago. Plans have been approved and materials ordered for the hotel which will be constructed where the old Elkridge House now stands.
"The Eldridge is one of the older hotels still standing in Kansas, and Lawrence, including the students of the University will be greatly benefited by a modern hotel," said C. J. Scott, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Work will begin as soon as $50,000 has been collected. According to Scott, the amount has now reached $40,360.
The following are the organizations which have contributed to the late drive; Kappa Sigma, Alpha Tau Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Omicron Pi, and the University Daily Kansan.
