Art Class Wants Students To Pose for Portraits
Mu Phi Epsilon will give a dinner and a party Wednesday evening for its members.
The person who wants to earn bits and spend a quiet, restful afternoon, might apply to Prof. William V. Cahill for an engagement posing for the class in portrait painting. "The class works three hours each afternoon," said Professor Cahill. "At the first of the course a different study was made each day, but now we are spending a week on each one, and really trying to finish the portraits carefully."
The comforting thing about this opportunity to make money is that the model does not necessarily have to be beautiful. "Any sort of person is a good study," said Professiona Calderon, who is also pretty, and others are not. Beauty is unessential, although we do prefer interesting faces."
The atmosphere of the portrait painting class is delightfully restful. The model sits quietly, and may even study at intervals. No one makes noise, but all areas are attractive. It's an easy way to enjoy twenty-five cents an hour.
Maxfield Parrish and Jules Guerin are the artists whose prints are on exhibit in the Administration Building this week. The Parrish prints are an interesting contrast to those of Guerin. Deep color, vividness, depth of tone make Parrish's work, while that of Guerin is softer, blended and more imaginative.

Former Kansan Writer Interviews Royalty In Buckingham Palace
Edwin Hullinger Tells of Luxurious Dinner Given in President's Honor
New Year's night in London and the dinner which King George gave for President Wilson come in the day's work of a newspaper man in London, according to Edwin W. Hullinger, a former member of the Daily Kansan Board, who is now with the United Press. In a recent letter he says:
New Year's Eve we had a table at the Waldorf, right on the brink of the bear pit. Of course the lighting effect was wonderful, the music good and the floor O. K. But I wished for an American girl because they dance very differently over here. And furthermore, English girls don't be led. They are accustomed to regular routine on the dance floor—one turn here, one turn there, a hop, skip and a jump, with never a variation in the world.
A few minutes before the zero hour we fought our way back from the dance floor and climbed up on our table. The lights went out at midnight and boy scouts went through the streets blowing their last all clear (two notes on the bugle, one low and one high). It was worse than a naughty rally when the lights came on again. In big electric letters 1918 blazed down upon us from the ceiling. The orchestra was bellowing out a mad harmony of drums, horns, piano and cymbals. In front of us a soldier tossed his sweetheart into the air, caught her as she rose and started parading up the floor carrying her on his shoulders. He didn't get far—the floor was packed solid. To the right and left couples were exchanging their New Year's kiss. Beside us on another table another couple were trying to one-step—over the salt cellars, the flowers and the silver. All this of course against a background of one continuous roar from about five hundred throats and an orchestra gone mad.
Then some one started "God Save the King," and everybody stiffened at attention. Next came the "Star Spangled Banner," and the "Marsalaise." Then we who were on the tops of the tables, we who were in the pit, and we who were elsewhere all took hold of hands and sang "Auld Lung Syne." It was a picture I shall never forget, everywhere in the house swaying, swinging hands, singing to one rhythm.
I've been pretty busy in the office, too, since the armistice. The last week in November I covered the surrender of the German submarines in the North Sea off Harwich. The first part of December I had two talks with Kerensky. Then through some friends I met General Mannerheim, regent of Finland, who was going through London on his way to climb up the thrones of Russia. He called the Prince formerly, the aide-de-camp of the former Czar. He in turn to Count Kokovtzeff, former Russian premier and he to several other Russians.
A little over a week ago I interview Short, chief secretary for Ire
and. Met Lloyd George in his dinnier room the day he entertained Wilson at Luncheon. He has one of the most winning personalities I have ever touched. The occasion was the unveiling of a painting of Washington which Lord Abermarle presented the government (no, the premier didn't ask me to the luncheon; I arrived after the eats were all gone). Wilson, of course, pulled the cheese cloth from the frame, and then we all gathered around when he told Washington stories. The next night I had a peek into the banquet room of Buckingham Palace, where the king was to give a feed for Wilson. This time I was too early for dinner, but it was the most wonderful room I have ever seen—a regular fairyland-like kind of a place, fulfilling in every particular all your childhood dreams of royal splendor. I had always fallen more or less for this "simple life stuff" the royal press agents are continually talking. When they said the king and queen lived in quiet retirement I had believed it, so I had likewise contended that all this fairy book stuff of gold forks and knives was there ancient history, but it wasn't so. There was an object on that table except the glaze that was not pure. Knives and forks, vases, with beautiful big clusters of poinsettias, salt bowls and pepper shakers, bread plates and fruit dishes—everything nothing but glistening heavy gold. A hundred candles flickered from their gold candlesticks in rows up and down the table. Another hundred were strung around the room in clusters half way up to the ceiling. Six immense glass chandeliers swung from the ceiling.
The throne platform was at one end of the room, the orchestra balcony, with pipe organ, at the other. The carpet was rich red. The wails were hung with wonderful tapestries and collections of gold. We had our collection, including the knives and forks, was started by our old friend, George III.) The woodwork was white, with threads of inlaid gold running through it.

War Exhibit at Museum;
Relics are from Verdun
Part of the Collection Includes A Parachute and Machine Gun
A very interesting collection of war relics has been sent to Dyche Museum by Corp. Harry Martin, son of T. H. Martin, who is assistant curator of the Museum. These relies were dug out of the trenches near Verdum and sent to the Museum at the request of the curators. It is essentially a war exhibit and not a collection of souvenirs.
The collection contains several helmets that were used by the Germans. One of these helmets is camouflaged to resemble the soil of France. The officers' helmets are of much finer quality than the helmets of the privates and are decorated with gilt emblems and post embellishments, but back a set of German buckles some of which are punctured by machine gun bullets of the German Army, and bear the words "Gott Mit Una."
The collection contains a complete set of chevrons and equallets of the Hun Army. Some of these chivrons evidently are made from goods stolen from the Americans because olive drab had never been used by the Germans and some of these chevrons are mounted on this American color.
chine Gun
The Museum also received a German helmet and skull from Lieut. Victor Householder formerly in the Museum. This helmet had the front shot away by shrapnel and was punctured in several places on the bulletins. The skull which is inside of the helmet shows the same marks that the helmet does.
Part of a German machine gun is on exhibit which was dug out of a trench just out side of Verdun. There are many other interesting religions in this collection including a parachute that the Huns used in spreading their propaganda and several expanding machine gun bullets.

Glee Club to Be Revived For K. U. Men Next Year
The Men's Glee Club was disrupted on account of the S. A. T. C. according to Dean Butler of the School of Fine Arts, and will not be resumed this year but he hopes to have a good glee club next fall.
"We have good talent in the University and we will undoubtedly have a fine club next year and we will help to make a few ties to other towns.
"I am sure if the University knew what a benefit the glee club and an orchestra would be to the university at large that they would not hesitate to grant credit for the work done. Orchestral or club glee club is some what you can ask, but what is gotten from other departments does no one any good but the one who gets the knowledge first hand.
