"The many colorful costumes fitted in with the rich coloring of the singing itself and the picture of this great Russian group under the magnetic conducting of their great leader, Koshtek, will linger long in the memory of those who heard them," said Shaun Sheikh, a pianist in speaking of the concert given by the Ukrainian National Chorus o Monday night.
"The great background furnished by the male chorus coupled with the clear quality of the soprano and alto sections was responsible for the richness of in practically all of the collections," said Dean Sworthtowh. "Each number is worthy of specia lity." He added that so delicate to the shading, so unamounth the attack and release, and so varie the choral tone colors."

W. Elmer Ekblaw Tells of Existence in Artic Region
Eskimo Works if Feeling Like it and Sleeps Whenever' He So
The natives of the Artic region would not be able to rest for many months if advocates for a daylight saving plan were to try out their theories in Northwest Greenland, where they had been recorded by a Kansan reporter after an interview with Mr. W. Elmire Ekblaw, who was a member of the McMillian Creek Land Expedition, 1913-17. Among the other peculiar conditions brought about by the harsh law told of the period between April 21 and August 21 when the sun circle the heavens at the twenty-four hours, making one continuous day. What an opportunity to work in the daylight! The poor natives would have worked the same time if their fair land were visited by efficiency experts.
At the present time, government regulation is an unknown condition in the Arctic land, where an ideal marshy exists. "The natives do not have any conception of time," said Marianne Kirkpatrick, who feels like it, eat when they get hungry, and sleep whenever they like. The only demand they must meet comes from the head of the family, the wife, who expects enough to eat and enough to fed her family, and a sufficient supply of animal kills to sustain the family. This requirement is met, very little else is expected of the man."
Women Do Work
The woman is told all the calls about the but, and prepare all of the blinds for clothing by cheoning on skins. A girl starts in chewing when she has first cut her baby teeth, be comes expert with the work by the time she is a young lady, cutting her wisdom tooth, and continues the procedure. Then she goes to parties in the far north, and with the apparent amount of exercise given to the th child should be no need for the profession.
Notice of Scholarships
It was interesting to the reporter to hear what Mr. Ekblow was able to accomplish in the space of a single night. The exploration party started near the ocean and traveled for 135 miles in the direction in which Pearl had seen land. When they arrived at the spot, they found it to be merely a mirage. As the night was still young, the party broke up and devolved the rest of the journey to explore the coast. Mr. Ekblow took two Eekslim guides and explored 800 miles of coastland. He was about it, he took time to survey and man the territory, an area half the size of the state of Kauai. It was the impression of the reporter that he was not late for breakfast the next morning, February 22, when the party returned to headquarters' house. As that day was Washington's birthday, members of the exploration party no doubt got plenty of sleep. Mr. Ekblow was not asked concerning his work the next day, Feb. 27 to Aug. 21.
**Containment Plants Exist**
Many plants exist, but there are many plants and animals living in the Arctic land. Even as far north as Eath, there are 150 species of flowering plants and ferns. Among the land, animals which are adapted to the arctic environment include the caribou, Muskox, arctic hare, and blue fox. There are many kinds of land birds, but not so many of each species. The snowy owl, pterumis, and raven stay all through the long winter months to warmer climates for the winter.
To give one an idea of how far north Etah is, Mr. Ekbaw told the reporter that Etah is as far north of the great northern lights, as Chicago is north of the great magnetic pole. For that reason, the compass needles pointed Southwest at the handpensure houses instead of north. It one-designs the compass in that land, the son would be in the east and set in the west.

Weather Stops Practice
Good Hitting and Fielding Team Developed,' Says Clark
Bad weather prevented a very extensive workout for the baseball squads. Coach Clark put the men through a stiff batting practice, gave the pitchers a good workout, and finished by several wind sprints for the team.
"Prospects this year do not look as good as they have in the past due to the shortage of pitchers," said Coach Clark, who has a good hitting and fielding team and if another pitcher can be developed we will finish among the 3rd three." So far the new men who look the best in the "box" are EdRuth Dune, Johnny Crawford and Jason Baker. "Murray Davis, who is the only experienced pitcher back and who will probably have to bear the brunt of the 'twirling' has developed more confidence and will be much easier to year than last," said Coach Clark.

Students Will Get Referendum Vote on Point System
Idea Approved by Members of Faculty and Athletic Department; Few Object
A referendum vote on the point system an adopted recently by the men's Student Council will be taken at the regular election council on April 3rd, said Stanley Learned the Council of the morning
"The system was enacted by the Council to meet the demand for regulation of entrance into extra curricular activities which has been established by faculty and students," said Learned, "The Council is putting the system as adopted up to a referendum vote of the men students in order to get their support or allow them to exercise their disapproval of the system.
Idea Two-Fold
"The idea behind the point system is two-fold," said Learned. "It will refine a few overburdened students who are called upon to take part in this course. It will also help the University by getting more students into activities. Each student will take more interpersonal training and be allowed to concentrate on only a few." "It was understood by the Council when the system was adopted that it would have the full support of the university administration department felt that it would be a great aid to athletics. The system is also endorsed by Prof. H. C. Thurman, chairman of the committee on athletics, or other than athletic," said Learned.
McCoy Favors System
Wayne McCoy, 72, president of the senior class at the university, is a member of the council has offered me a beating heartily in favor of the system. He says that "Since the University is a free, democratic institution for the training of people for their future careers, the point system should be adapted from the viewpoint of the men of the University as a whole."
Charles E. Hall, P24, another member of the Council takes a different attitude on the question. He says that "The point system is simply a further overarchment on student librarians' roles." The council parensally regulates. Students should learn as soon as possible how to manage their own time. It is certain that they will not be milk-fed when they leave school. Initiative should be developed in college rather than restricted. There are enough libraries now. The point system is adopted by the Council as as follows:

Land Purchased for Plav
Association Keeps Its Promise to Stadium Donors
"The purchase by the Athletic Association of the Gowans tract is in pursance of the policy of the Athletic Association to invest earnings in sports, and a view of providing play grounds for all students of the University," said Chancellor E. H. Lindley in speaking about the plans of land for athletic purposes. "This policy also keeps faith with the doctors of the stadium who were assumed that all profits from games 'should be invested in the recreational plant.'"
Chancellor Lindley said that in order to facilitate this effort to give every student a chance for outdoor sports, students and faculty and all friends of athletes are urged to support Director Allen's efforts to avoid plagiarism and to assist in enforcing economical administration of funds.
"The people of Kansas are proud that Kansas University teams are outfitted as well as any in the Midwest. A well groomed team is a strong team. Every player can participate in this program by moderation in design, documentation and proper care of equipment assigned," said Chancellor Lindley.
