Concert Number Features Opera by Chicago Trio
No. 34
Eleven Solo, Duet, and Trio Numbers to Comprise First Half of Program
"The Secret of Susanne," will be the feature number of the concert to be given by the Chicago Opera Company trio in Robinson gymnasium Thursday evening at 8 p. m. as the first number of the University Concert Course. "To those who are interested especially in grand opera, they need this one act opera by Wolf-Ferriar has been one of the most popular yet produced," said D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
The opera portrays the first quarrel between the bride, Susanne, and her bridgemen, Count Gil, while on their honeymoon, at his chateau in Piedmont, Italy. The plot is centred around a young man who has left from her husband the knowledge that she smokes, because of her utter abhorrence of "the vile weed."
Returning home one time, the Count detects the odor of tobacco smoke and being told that no one present did it, he is led to believe that a visitor is about the plan—rival! His suspicion is continued when Susan argues he must keep an appointment so that she can smoke.
The Count leaves the house in a rage only to return unexpectedly again. After a hurried search for the lover, he sieces her hand and burns himself on the cigarve. He then discovers that she has been faithful to him and in his joy over her death, he asks her to require the habit himself and thus the serenity of the honeymoon is restored.
A Rival Suspicioned

This one act opera will constitute the second half of the concert, the first being composed of solos, duets, and trios. It will require about forty minutes for presentation. Accompanies the good seats are still available.

Topeka, Octo, 16.—A. E. Carney chairman of the state board of administration, today addressed a letter to Chancellor E. H. Lindley of the University of Kansas, charging instructors at the University "gumbling" in practice and demanding that they insist upon taking part in politics while employed at the University be removed from the payroll.
"If members of the faculty are to be turned loose from now until election to make 'political speeches, I would suggest to you that they be taken from the payroll." Carring wrote.
Carney's letter was provoked by a speech made at Hutchison by Dr. Stewart A. Queen of Ghana criticized the Davis administration, it is said.

European Governments Face Many Problems, Declares Ted Shultz
Taxes, Labor and Internationa Relationships Cause Great Difficulties
"My impressions of Europe were gained from actual observations," said Ted Shultz, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., in his talk at the Y. W. C. A. veepr service Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Shuhtx first discussed the labor party of England. "The labor party," he said, "has two things that it wants to prove to England; first, that it is capable of carrying on a successful job, and that it is decoupling to better international relationships. The English people of today are facing several internal problems. The taxation of the people is unbelievable. The working man pays one third of his wages in taxes. The industrial sector is weak, and the employment situation is a great strain on the country."
Mr. Shultz also spoke of the labor government of France and of the condition in which France finds her labor force less buursted budget and aack of men.
Mr. Shultz traveled in Europe with a company of 80, one third of whom were ministers. He alon traveled steerage.
Referring to Germany, Mr. Shulta said that the government faces difficulty in as much as it is trained in economics. He also spoke of the beaten and depressed feeling that is common to the German people.
The Y, W, meeting next week will have as a subject the book, "Man, Men, and God." The last half of the meeting will be apart in open discussion.

France Plans Airplane With 300-Mile Speed
Doctor Eckner and his associate were to appear later before a meeting of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics to describe the technical details of the voyage from Germany. The general board of the navy will attend this session to hear what Eckner says.
Paris, Oct. 16—An airplane without engine or propeller, in the ordinary sense, is the dream of experts now making experiments for the French air service. The "Rocket plane," as it is called, will have its native power generated inside the cabin of the machine itself.
The apparatus will produce gas under pressure in a combustion chamber and then eject it, at the rear of the machine, by a kind of nozzle. This will set up a reaction which it is claimed, will drive the plane at much greater speed than an ordinary gun. The diameter of this plane is more than three hundred miles, an hour is claimed by the use of this jet population system. The experiments are not far enough along for actual tests.

Dver Condemns Bumming
Organization of Bumadiers Dis banded in 1922
"The practice of bumming to out of town games is certain to have unfortunate results, even if no one is killed or injured. Bumming, at its best, is organized dishonesty and can bring nothing but the worst kind of advertising to the University," said Dean John R. Dver this morning.
"If the University becomes the center of nation wide publicity through the death of one or more of its bumming representatives we want it to be, it is candoned both officially and unofficially by the administrative officers of the University. The fine spirit of the opening week of school ought to protect the good name of K. U. students this practice," said Dan Dever.
The organization of Bumdarians caused considerable trouble in 1922, when they rushed the gates at the game with the Kansas Aggies in Manhattan. This resulted in quite a little bad feeling between the two schools and the organization was disbanded that year.
Four students in such a vehicle were riding last evening and upon returning chose the hill route. They clung to each other as the car made the turn to climb the hill. One man held to the back rest and supported one of the women. The other couple held to the steering wheel.
Sig Ep and Kappa Have a Falling Out
A stripped-down Ford rounding a corner with enough speed to mount a hill demands co-operation among the occupants for them to stay on. Two couples on a temporary cushion in rock rest makes the task more trying.

With the sudden swerve the back cushion gave way with the pull of the man and both of the outer couple were thrown out onto the pavement. The other two, by virtue of their support, remained in the car.
Though they were bruised and slightly scratched, they were both able to ride to their homes, but by the gradual approach from the north.

Germans Consider Flight of Zeppelin as National Honor
Arrival of ZR-3 in U. S. Get Great Ovation From Foreign Papers in New York
Berlin, Oct. 16—Germany's pride of accomplishment reached a post war zenith today when new air was flanked by the United Press from New York that the ZR-3 had reached the United States.
Crowds which had stood for hours, in front of newspaper offices reading bulletins of the progress of the war, watched the "boeh" when word came through the air that the zeppelin was over American soil after the most successful attack.
"Germany is redeemed," the Voc Warets. "The faith of our fathers in the unconquerable German soul again is justified."
There will be no doubt of the great impression the flight of the dirigible has made on all Germany. The British government has the sole subject of conversation.
The press universally fainted the arrival of the divisible as Germany's greatest achievement since the war. Regardless of political and religious differences between the two German states, the feet of Dr. Eckner was universally praised for restoring world confidence in German goings.
The flight even helped to unify
song of the most discordant elements,
and the German mind will
mark a new era in the relations
between the Reich and the rest of
the world.

Finance Drive Closes Tonight to Be in Accordance With Campaign Plan
Y. M.-Y. W. Workers Urge K. U. Students to Contribute More
Subscriptions to the Y, M, C, A,
W, Y, C, A, drive are in coming in fairly
mildly but the priority are much
smaller than they should be, according
to the heads of the committees on each
organization's drive.
Many people are sending in contributions of one dollar when they could well afford to give several times that amount, is the opinion of many teachers. But not to be understood that one dollar is too small a contribution when that is all that the student can afford, but in too many cases those small contributions are made by those who are financially able to make larger ones, they say.
Today is the last day of the drive and all workers are urged to be sure and see all of the people who are assigned to them, and to be sure and check in to their committee head as soon as possible. So far, only a few of the workers on the drive have been assigned to work, an even approximate estimate of how the drive is progressing in comparison with that of last year. The average subscription of those already checked in is about two dollars, which is smaller than those of last year. Students who have not already submitted their workers make their subscriptions as large as they can possibly afford.
The money obtained from this drive will be used in carrying the Y, M. C, A, and Y, W, C, A. work in the University for the coming year.

Chancellor Marx' Seat Becoming Shaky Now
(United Press)
Berlin, Oct. 16.—The shifting in the support of the nationalists in the German legislative bodies is thought to completely reverse the situation and to cause dissolution of the bodies. Lately it has been felt that Germany would rally to the plains of Rome by humiliating him, but this chance so will inevitably delay the operation of the experts' plans. Chancellor Marx has supported the nationalists and has won a few of them into his cabinet.
Chancellor Marx issued a statement conceding the hopelessness of trying for further extension of his cabinet toward the right. The foreign office asserted that Marx might have received the plea would discide parliament, or that dissolution might take place without the chancellor's resignation.
The Phi Lambda Sigma will no hold a picnic this Friday, Oct. 17.
Whiting Williams Tells of His Life as Social Worker
Experiences in Industrial Centers Form Basis of Talk on Labor's Problems
"The tremendous importance of the unskilled workman is to have a job today and for tomorrow," said Mr. Williams. "This is paramount. There is so little difference in men's years according to the job."
"Give us this day our daily job!" is the workers' prayer. The daily job feeds not only the stomach but the soul as well," said Whitting Williams, social worker of Cleveland, in discussing the interests of the workman as gleaned from personal experience and observation in Robinson gymnasium this morning. Mr. Williams' subject was, "What's on the Workers Mind?
To get in close contact with the worker and live his life, to do his work, and in this way to reach a better understanding of him, was the purpose of Mr. Williams in his social work.
Experiences required
Experiences in which the social worker gets close to the laborer in big cities and with central of the United States and Europe were told by Mr. Williams. Contact with the laborer in coal mines, round houses, steel plants and ship yards, where Mr. Williams was accepted as one of the workmen, formed the background of the experiences.
Mr. Williams depicted his life in Pittsburg in 1915, who hundreds of men were walking the streets and waiting at employment bureaus and outside steel plants for work. He had an opportunity to see just how working man viewed his situation and studied his outlook upon life.
"Men Not After Leisure"
"Men are not looking for a life of 'eslure but for a world of work.' was his conclusion. "The workman wants the opportunity to show his ability and thus earn his bread and butter," said Mr. Williams.
Other tales of experiences in the coal fields of Wales, in the great railroad strike in this country in 1922, in the Ruhr district of Germany, and in other places where life was impiered by hitlers helped Mr. Williams to get a broad view of the working man.
The mental state of the workman was emphasized by Mr. Williams in the fact that the worker is disposed to consider his own job very important and fail to see the importance of the other man's job. This was illustrated in the vernacular of a workman who said, "See that guy over there; he'll all 'stuck-up,' thinks his boss is being stupid." The answer to the engine. You know what? His job wouldn't entitle a son if I didn't furnish him the power."
"Workers Are Sensitive"
Mr. Williams spoke of the need for a better understanding of what the worker wants, emphasizing the small difference which existed in their ideas of right and wrong, and in their desire to serve.
"Workers Are Sensitive"
Illustrative of class consciousness, Mr. Williams spoke of his change of work from the pick and shovel job to millwright. His pay was decreased two cents an hour, which he used to suspect him of snubbing them. Mr. Williams told how they tattered him, being sensitive of his economic class elevation.
