1. M. and Y. W. Workers Wished Godspeed by Chancellor's Closing Words
The forty-two K. U., representatives who attended the annual Student Volunteer conventi' in held in Des Moines, Iowa during the holidays had charge of the general convocation held in Fraser Chapel at 10:30 o'clock this morning. McKinley Warren, e10 Mrs. Warren, e10 Alirez Aires, Brazil, where he and Mrs. Warren will take up Missionary work, was the first speaker.
THOUSANDS ATTENDED
"Our student Volunteer movement is becoming such a world-wide movement that it has no fear of disinterestedness, commercial antagonism or mir" said McKinney Warren. "We've had a morning, "K. U., have sixteen missionaries and two hundred more are ready to enter the field."
"Eight thousand students and volunteers were at the Des Moines convention on their belief in Christian ideals," said Warren B. Cohen, a professor of philosophy. "We won't be back till it is over there. But it isn't over over there as far as missionary work is concerned. If America is to fulfill her mission we must be thinking of world events. We are crying for help from America."
The need for medical missions in foreign lands, especially in China where only one child out of ten lives due to lack of medical attention, was described by Cooksey. "These are only a few cases," he said.
"More and more a spirit of world brotherhood is being developed. Heathen lands are calling out out-stretched hands for our assistance. If we are to fulfill our duty we must carry inquitility to the far corners of the earth."
WORLD WIDE CRISIS
"This is the most audacious enterprise, the biggest, the most all-inclusive program in practice in the world. The present world crisis is a Challenge. It means to us an opportunity and an obligation," said Professor Curran. "We are open to this influence as never before and we must respond."
The keynote of the convention was, "WE HAVE WON THE WAR, WE MUST WIN THE WORLD." We have sent forty-six," he continued, "out of 8,049 graduates. Compare this with Hope College, Michigan which has sent fifteen per-cent and Park College, Missouri, which ha-
"Schools today are 'meeting the problem as institutions. Practically every important American college large or small, State or private, has followed the lead of Yale, and have their own spheres of world influence. Kansas State Agricultural College is one of these the "Angels" to lead the Kansas campaign for meeting the present world crisis? It is a challenge to them to answer it! LET U SPUT K U. K. FIRST IN THE WORLD OF SERVICE AND INFLUENCE."

"Service was the key-note of the convention," she continued, "it is only through service that we can get the worth while things in life. No education is worth while except as it fills the needs of the common people."
"The thing that came to me most formerly was the fact that these returned missionaries and leaders are their trust in us," said Grace H. Gaskill.
"Are we going to accept the challenge sent out by the starving nations of Europe?" was the substance of Co Hoffman's talk.
He made it very plain that it was up to the college trained student to get into the game and help uphold the traditions of K. U.
"It is not a question of how we are going to make a living but a life" were his concluding remarks.
"Men and women of substantial ability are required to do work in foreign fields," said Chancellor Strong in Convocation this morning he extended a farewell to Mr. and Mrs McKinley Warren, who are to leave for South American Missionary Field immediately.
Margaret Annaye, c21, will not be able to finish this semester on account of the death of her father.

During the excitement, someone called the chief of police, who hurried up the hill to question the suspicious man. The police were convinced that they had "picked up" the wrong man.

BALKY PIANO HALTS GRAINGER'S CONCERT
Audience Smiles and Snicker While Famous Artist Labors With Pedal
Percy Grainger, internationally famous as a pianist, was compelled to stop at the beginning of his concert Tuesday night squat down before the piano and try to put the instrument in working order. The teacher, an experienced fully skilled Mr. Grainger sat down to begin his concert. He struck the first few coeds and then stopped. He blushed and then quinned down to work with a pedal. The audience smiled and then snickered and Mr. Grainger's face grew redder. He was unable to adjust the pedal and Dean Harold then snickered and hastened to his assistance. Dean Butler had no better luck with the pedal than Mr. Grainger and a piano dealer who was in the audience came on the platform and tried. After a short effort he apparently gave it up and left the platform. But he returned and with a well placed licks had the instrument in shape for Mr. Grainger to resume.
CONCERT RESUMED
Mr. Grainger resumed and carried his program through very creditably considering the start he had with the balky pedal, the fact that the piano was out of time and the still further every time it was struck because of seemingly imperfect mechanical adjustment. The printed program or the concert said that the piano, a famous make of instrument, was furnished by a Kansas City music house. AUDIENCE ENTERED BY WILLIAM MORGAN, a musician, who a musician, was sharp in his criticism of the audience, which he said, acted like children. When the artist was compelled to try to adjust the piano, and very plainly was embarrassed, the audience, instead of showing, laughled into an ill-mannered crowd of children, said the concer goer.
"Honestly," he said, "I was never so disgusted with an audience in my life. You could expect such action from me." He added that University audiences to lack decent
appreciation, even decent manners and to be utterly wanting in poise and self control certainly is disgusting."
Despite his bad start, Mr. Glaminger gave an excellent performance one that was truly artistic, although he lacked the constant coughing in the background.
"University music lovers, especially those familiar with piano music, enjoyed a very entertaining recital. Most of the program consisted of classical numbers by modern American, English, and French composers. Several of Mr. Grainger's own compositions, played in Lawrence for the first time, completed the program. A graduate from German music exconcert distinctive, said Dean Butter today.
MUSIC LOVERS ENJOY RECITAL
"The impetuosity and originality of the artist was clearly evidenced in his playing though at no time was his technique at fault. Mr Grangerius knew that this was a difficult rendition with aplidnist technique, while other great pianists place technique above all else. An ever changing variety of tone and variation in shading demonstrated the his tenement into his renditions.
"Mr. Granger charmed music lovers with his winning personality and his generous encore. His most notable encore were "Reflections in a Rainbow," and "Shepard's Hey," one of his own compositions," said Dean Butler,

"We are feeling the pch of want and must have higher salaries to enable us to have the bare necessities of life" are the remarks made by many instructors on the Hill when asked about the need increase in salary.
"We are not receiving as much as the professors of other schools and many of us are unable to provide ourselves with necessary food," is the introduction by who introduced the motion before the University Assembly Monday.
