Photography Used for Measurement of Musical Sound
Picture Fundamental Law of Artistic Expression With Accuracy— Seashore
That the application of psychology to the expression of musical emotion can be measured by photography with the highest precision was the essence of E. Stuart Moore to the students and faculties of the Schools of Education and Fine Arts in Fraser chapel Friday afternoon. Doctor Seashore, dean of the Graduate School at the University of the National Research Council, spoke on the "Expression of Musical Emotions."
"Music is transmitted from the artist to the listener by sound waves," said Dean Seashore. It is the measurement of these vibrations constituting the artistic emotion that Dean Seashore has revealed. Through the orchestral or percussion instruments, Doctor Seashore can picture the fundamentals, laws of artistic expression in music or speech.
Machine Points Out Mistakes
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10, 1924
Machine Points Out Mistakes
An apparatus consisting of a mirror attached to a motor geared to photograph the vibrations every two-hundredth of a second with a camera with Doctor Sancho performs his experiments. A similar machine employed by the psychologist will measure tones of a phone recorder
Another machine embodying the principle of projection instead of the photographing of waves will reveal the measurement of the tones at the time of expression. By this projection upon a miniature screen, the artist is readily aware of working with the standard. This means has been utilized to a great extent in developing talent, Doctor Seasone pointed out.
Apparatus Easily Assemble.
The symphony orchestra is also able to perfect the sound of this instrument. By the rate of vibration, the individual artist can recognize sharp and flat. "The pitch harmony, rhythm, and duration of the tone may be modified by picture or sound wave," he continued.
"The machine can be built for $100 and can be assembled from standard parts. Its simplicity de-
lays attention," said Dean Sashev.
In showing how the machine recorded the wave tones, Dean Seashore used photographic slides to record the waves with color and intensity. In this way a visualization of the periodic fluctuation of the sound waves was presented in his book *The Analysis of the flute*, violin, French horn, oboe and other instrumental tones, Dean Seashore said that with a little practice he can organize the instrument by the picture.
Demonstrates Test of Rhythm
Demonstrates Test of Rhythms
Curves representing music by band world-recognized artists revealed certain laws of music and emotion, Doctor Seashore pointed out. "The fundamental law is that the rhythm of the graceful deviation from the right fixes every time it would become monotonous. The beauty of this artist's artistic flirting with the standard."
A test of rhythm, by which the phonograph emitted pairs of rhythm combinations in a sequence called "sake" or "alike" or "difference" concluded Doctor Seanahore's lecture.
The Three Laments
"To think," snarled the fox, "that I am hunted for my skin. I adorn careless women . . ."
A fox, a steer, and a sheep met on the edge of a wood, and took to combining thus of man:
"Olw." lowered the stear, his eyes moist, "my hide is turned into leather to beat dirty roads and the pavements of city streets . . ."
The sheep appeared to be the most distressed of the three.
"My skin, my skin," it bleated
piteonly, "is used for diplomas."

Kansas Debaters Meet Pennsylvania Team Here April 15
Eastern Squad Makes Tour of Western Universities; Defended Oxford; Last Year
"The K. U. team should be well prepared by April 15, as by that time we will have debated both sides of the question, once with Missouri on Dec. 22, and again with Manhattan Feb. 29. The meeting of the two teams will be of unusual interest as the man of the year of Penna Giffin has an excellent reputation and will put up a strong argument. K. U. however, will also be well prepared and to make a good show," said Professor Gilkinson.
The Pennsylvania team is making a tour of some of the western universities debating the question, "Resolved that the United States, shortly enter the permanent court of international justice," and arguing that choice is the choice of either side of the question. Kansas has chosen to defend the negative.
The University of Kansas debate team will meet the University of Pennsylvania team here Apr. 15, according to L. Gikimon, coach of the team.
Go To Manhattan Feb. 29.
Professor Gillman will work here with interfered with, due to final examinations and enrollment for the second semester. The men are working with redundant efficiencies getting their work a good shape.
Defeated Oxford Last Year
According to records and newspapers account the purposes of having defeat the Oxford team last year, and also winning the greatest majority of their events this year.
The team will be composed of John Alden, first speaker, Cornellius Pearson and Floyd Wright, team leader. Robbut practice will be afforded the team by the old affirmatives, who met Missouri in December, composed of Mont Clair Spear, Elbridge Stanko and Fred Field.
Commons Tries Stewards
Students Have Chance to Earn Free Meal Tickets
A new system of stewardship is being tried by the University Commons with the purpose of selling more meal tickets. Three men and two women students have been given chance by chance to become Church manager, to earn a free meal ticket if they sell ten ticket outside the Commons.
The tickets sell for 5.00 each. This is the first time that the Commons has had any system of meal tickets but from the number that have been sold the manager considers the plan a success.
"It is more difficult to have two tickets in a cafeteria than in hotel rooms because of the plan of choice that most people have," said Mrs. McLaunchry.
Spark plug as designed to make the electrodes run hot are therefore the most efficient, although to bathe them with heat produces preignition. The experiments also show that sparking is somewhat easier when the hot electrode, which is much thicker than the electrode, is negative than when the polarity is reversed.
Harold Grange will not go out for track this year. The Illinois star prefers to play baseball in spite of him. He was a track star in high school.
Hot Spark Plugs Make Engines Start Easy
Washington, Feb. 9—One reason why an automobile engine is more apt to balk when startling than after a period of continuous running has been determined by Dr. F. B. Silbene of the U. S. Bureau of Standards for the National Committee for Aeronautics. It has been found that oxygen levels, when one or both of the electrodes are heated to redness. This effect is stated to be independent of the temperature of the gas mixture.

Nameless Cur Takes Possession of Hill
Fourth street is owned by a small dog, that is, if one should ask him, he probably would say so. Hardly a car begins the hard climb up the bill on 14th street without his help. He gets up at night and down hill from early morning to late夜. The street seems to be his home, and whether this small, ragged, brown cur has any other it is hard to know, particularly, and everybody in general. At least, he has become possessed with the idea that his life's work has centered to the welfare and guidance of all traffic on 14th street. It is hard to imagine the bill has the barking encouragement of this little waif as he runs beside the car until it reaches the top. The car safely at the top of the hall, the proud owner of the huge hanging out, greeting each Hill-bound student with a friendly wag of his tail. He may meet another car before reaching the bottom, and up he comes again. Sit up and down, barking and contented.
Although he has no pedigree, no home, no place to eat or sleep except in the alley, he is happy. He has more real friends, student friends than any of the little chick, and he looks out into the glass windows at the parking street dog running along beside his master's fine automobile.
Winner of Cranitorical Contest to Represent University at St. Louis
Prizes to Be Withheld Unless Contestants Are Worthy

London, Feb. 6—That light can lessen the acidity of the soil is the theory advanced by Prof. J. L. Sager of Cambridge. Materials carried out in the Alpine Laboratory at Valpine, Switzerland. The acidity of soil steadily decreases on passing from a moist forest, through the lesser shade of the larch forest to the open, he found. Where the soil is plenty of strong acid, the solid soils offer the solid in it.

Russian Artists Will Give Fourth Concert Number
Famous Cherniavsky Trio to Entertain in Series of Concertos and Piano Solos
Leo, Jan and Mischel Cherninsky,
world renowned Russin trio, will appear
as the fourth number of the
University Concert Course in Robinson
Gymnasium, Wednesday, Feb. 13.
Besides the trio numbers, consisting
of violin, cello, and piano, the orchestra
also several concertos and piano solos.
Twenty-two years ago, three little boys started from their native home near Kiev, Russia, with violin, 'ello and piano to play. The oldest was eleven years old and the youngest eight, the one between nine. Since that day they have appeared together all over the world, and are famous now as the Cihnervskiy Trio.
Father Was Eminent Musician
His father, himself an eminent musical conductor, began to teach Lee, the youngest of three years old; Jan, the next brother, began to study piano at an even earlier age; Michel, the youngest, at four years played first on Lon. She was a pianist and cello. The father taught the boys that what belonged to one belonged to the others and out of that early training and constant association with musicians, the legal authorities agree is essential to perfect ensemble playing—sympathy.
With this was combined an amazing ability for hard, unceasing work, capable in the careers of all great artists.
The Russian tour that began in 1901 established a local reputation for the trio that within the next few years spread to the leading musical centers of other European countries. Since then, they have traveled more than any other country to success in England Australia, South Africa, India, China South America, Canada, and throughout the United States.
Have Strong Individuality
Have Strong Individualities
What has impressed the audiences and the fact that the three dominant and temperamental artists, each having a strong individuality, should be able to merge themselves into such an ideal combination. Individual paintings are not complete accord free from all personal or professional jealousies. Harmony must be their guiding star and ruling passion. They must have the same conception of interpretation and idea of unity with their peers, as well as perform performances artistic feeling, fluency, skill and mathematical precision.
Playing together for more than twenty years as soloists, in trio and accompanying each other in concerto, the group is a fascinating ensemble. And Michel Cernauvsky has gained a remarkable insight not only into each others' innermost thought, but also into the subtleties and complexity of the master whose work they interpret.
Registrations Reach 253
Total Enrollment for Semester Not Yet Determined
New registrations for this semester have reached 253, although this number is not final as some students are still registering. One hundred and sixty-two students rolled in the following schools: College, 96; School of Engineering, 55; School of Law, 4; School of Medicine, 1; School of Fine Arts, 2; Graduate School of Medicine, 4; Of eight-two women student registering, 46 are in the College, 12 in the Graduate School, 13 in the School of Fine Arts; 8 in the School of Education; and one each in the School of Pharmacy, Finance, and Vegtmeering.
The total enrollment for this semester has not yet been determined, but too figures will be compiled a soon as possible, according to Miss Lear, secretary to the dean of the College. No estimate can be made of the year's registration, as man students have withdrawn.
Thirty-three students formed the total number of those dropped from the University of Oregon for funking their first semester work.
Book Exchange Transacts
8500 Worth of Business
The book exchange in Fraser hall, unaged by the W, S, G, A, is transiting more business this semester but it did last business.
Margaret Bright, fa23, who is manager of the exchange, said that the volume of business for the past two days has amounted to $500. Although most of them were students who come after used text books, Miss Bright said that there were many calls for Reita and Crayothrae algebras and also for Latin books, but no exchange did not have any of these books.
The book exchange will be open this week from 8:30 until 12 noon.
Schools and Colleges Are Sending Entries to Annual K. U. Relays
Answers to Announcement Indicate Greater Number of Participants
Announcements of the second annual University of Kansas Relays or April 19, which went out only recently, are already bringing replica teams from across the country to relay teams or special event athletes. The first relays drew 790 athlete representing seventy-seven institutions widely scattered throughout the country, and indications are that they will be even larger than that of last year.
Last year, athletes came from as far east as the University of Pennsylvania, and the south from as far west as Tennessee. Minnesota represented the Big Ten conference last year. In addition to these, numerous colleges and even high schools and military academies were entered from that sec-
The fact that the Kansas Relays are a one-day event, coupled with the excellent rail, interurban and bus service to and from Lawrence, with its central location, makes competition interesting with a minimum of time from school.
Seventeen relays and nine special events are scheduled for the Kansas Relays this year, with events for university, college, military academy and high school classes. Gold winners are again being announced in the relays and winners of the special events, in addition to school trophies for the relays
The Kansas Relays this spring is the first of the major outdoor track events, and will afford opportunity for many coaches to get a line on the possibilities of their men as Olympic team material.
Ear Muffs Bespeak Album Days' Return
Whoever said that ear-muffs were extinct along with hand muffs, sus penders, mountache cups, stick pimdusters, horse blanket, huggie whip snuff boxes, button shoes, and wil pigeons, missed his vacation. H should have been a weather foremaster.
The recent cold spell brought them out of the closets and trunks in the attic. Their reception on the campus was hot. One professor, finding that he was too much in heat for the latest暑, began looking for those he had back in the '90s. His son was usen as they radio receiver in the play-house. And then as the professor did not wish to distract him from his pleasant receivers he sought some of the species in a downtown store.
The clerk, one of the present generation, looked blank when the word "ear-muffs" was pronounced, as if someone had heard that the Nation of Nations or something he had never heard about. After he had visited a half dozen more stores, the janitor in one found a pair of ear-muffs on his desk, the very article the professor wanted. Perhaps next winter when a man goes calling on his best girl she will hear someone ask, "Do you want hat rack and come on into the parlor." I'll get the family album."
Merchants are trying to drive out student co-operative stores and shops from the campus of Ohio State. They charge unfair competition, but the students see no reason for abolishing their enterprises.

Jayhawker Squad Loses to Sooner Basketteers 26-20
Engel High Man for Kansas
With Four Feld Goals;
McBride Scores
Twelve
The first half ended 10 to 10. In this period Kansas enjoyed a few minutes in the lead but after the second period got under way, the Sooners shot goal nine times and was gained. Kansas never recovered from this lead and the nearest she came to overtaking it when she cut it to four points.
Norman, Okla, Feb. 9—The Oklahoma Sooners defeated the Kansas Jayhawks here this afternoon by the count of 26 to 20. This was the first defeat for the Allentown this season or last. The team was the consecutive conference victories, but the thirty-fifth one was the stumbling block.
Play was literally too fast for the eye. Guarding was superb on the part of both teams with a slight advantage going to the Sooners in the second period when they scored and at the same time the Sooner offense pierced the Jayahawk defense for four short-shot goals.
Wallace Cages Five
McBride was high point man of the tray, having caged five baskets from the field and two charity flips. Wallace of Oklahoma also capped five field counters for ten points. Engered the most counter shots through the loop for four counters from the field. The Sooners made twelve field goals and two charity toses while the Jay-hawkers made ten goals from the field and no free goals. The team played a good game, bearing the brunt of most of the Sooner attack and annexing six points for his team.
Kansas Still Leads Valley
Loosing this game does not put the Jayhawks out of first place, but it spoils the all-victorious season that many doubles had figured that Kansas was going to have. The Jayhawks won from the McDermott five on the Lawrence court by the count of 21 to 19.
