He's 'Sprung,' She Says
He and his wife, an inverteater "whodunit" fan, were reading The Daily Kansan one day last week when the wife looked up and remarked:
"I see that Nathan Leopold has been sprung."
Her husband looked at her in shocked surprise.

"My dear," he said, "I'm undoubtedly the only faculty member at the University with a wife who would express it just that way."

Szigeti's Performance Saved Best Until Last
By JOHN HUSAR (Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
Like the bridegroom at the wedding feast in Cana, Joseph Szigeti, Hungarian violinist, saved the "best wine" of his performance until the closing part of his concert Monday night in the University Theatre.
In his playing, Mr. Szigeti sometimes had the soft touch of the master violinist, but at other times performed with the harshness of a technician, jolting the listener out of the emotional mood to which the music elevated him.
At times Mr. Szigeti shattered the mood of a delicate moment by a particularly loud sound, with an over-zealous application of the bow to the strings. This, and a rare slurring of intimate notes, were responsible for the loss of more than a little quality in Mr. Szigeti's performance.
But as we said before, Mr. Szigeti presented the best last. He climaxed his program with his own arrangement of Mompou's Maidens in the Garden and Hubay's Hungarian Rhapsody, and was enthusiastically called back for three encores.
Mr. Szigeti also played Beethoven's Sonata No. 7 in C minor, Opus. 30, No. 2; Bach's Adagio and Fugue from the Sonata in C minor; Bloch's Nigun from the "Baal Schem" Suite ("Three Pictures of Chassidic Life"), Kreisler's Prelude and Allegro in the Style of Paganini and Stravinsky's Duo Concertante.
Mention must be made of Carlo Bussotti, whose piano accompaniment was superb.
Mr. Bussotti sometimes stole the audience's attention from Mr. Sizgeti with his tasteful background music.
Mr. Szigeti is a fine musician. His final selections were worth sitting through the long first half of the concert. As a result, the evening was enjoyable, if not completely satisfying.
The time and date of the final event on the Concert Course, Soprano Mildred Miller, has been changed to 3:30 p.m. Sunday, March 16, in the University Theatre.

HANG ON-What would probably bring chills to most people doesn't seem to bother an unidentified workman (indicated by arrow), perched near the top of the powerhouse smoke stack yesterday. He was doing repair work about 250 feet above the ground. The repairs are being done by state contract, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds.
