THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
VOLUME VII.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1911
GLEE CLUB SANG TO A LARGE AUDIENCE
OPERA TAKE-OFF WAS FEA-TURE OF CONCERT.
And the Girl Chorus Also Made Impression That Will Not Be Soon Forgotten.
A large and enthusiastic audience greeted the University Glee club last evening on its first appearance of the season. The club is without doubt the most successful that the school has had for many years. Each member of the club, as well as the director, Prof. C. E. Hubach, is entitled to much credit for the exceptional concert last night.
Among the best numbers of the first part of the program was the Bedouin Love Song, by Joseph Marshall. He responded with the encore "Sweet Girl of My Dreams."
In the "Dwarf Song," John Power, the manager of the club, sustained his reputation as a singer.
The second part of the program was a burlesque upon grand opera. The character of Mrs. Tyler was acted well by John Musselman. Joseph Marshall took the part of Mr. Tyler and Mr. Dodge, the janitor.
And the chorus of "girls!" Horrors! But some of them were pretty, aye, quite pretty,—some said, and others, well. Suffice it to say that Edmund Rhodes would give many chorus girls a hard chase for their positions if it ever came to a beauty contest.
NUMBER 43
The take-off upon grand opera was most enthusiastically received by the audience, being an appreciated departure from the ordinary concert. Miss Helen Morrow had charge of the stage directions for this act.
The club will repeat its program in the chapel this evening.
REVISE TROUSERS DOWN
Basket-Ball Men Must Wear Raiment Which Covers Patellas.
Truly the chorus girl with the abbreviated costume and Coach Hamilton's basket-ball tossers have a common bond of sympathy. If a bill introduced by a blushing legislator from Meade county passes, the garments worn by the pony ballet during its sojourn in Kansas must reach at least four inches below the patella.
Dr. James Naismith has decided that the idea is a good one and has issued an edict that all goal shooters representing the University must take precautions before entering a game to see that their patellas are properly excluded from the curious gaze of student onlookers. Accordingly, the length of basket ball trousers has been revised downward. Considering the fact that there are members on the team this year who have been wont to romp over the floor in Salome attire, this order will cause a hasty examination of the wardrobes of several of the athletes.
Helen Robinson, a freshman in College, who has been ill for the past week, returned to school yesterday.
ACCIDENT AT CONCERT
Miss Helen Morrow Stepped Stage and Was Injured.
Miss Helen Morrow, a senior in the College, who had charge of the staging of the second part of the program, in last night's Glee club concert, received a painful injury during the concert. When the lights were turned out for the club members to make their entrance. Miss Morrow, who was moving about the platform, stepped off the edge, falling upon some upturned chairs. She was assisted to the platform and remained there until the concert was finished, when she was taken to her home in a carriage.
Today Miss Morrow is at her home, 1232 Louisiana street,where she is resting easily. It is expected that she will be in her classes again Monday morning.

SPOKE TO CHEMICALS
L. V. Redman Told of the Manu facture of Varnishes.
L. V. Redman, the Julius Karpen fellow in chemistry, spoke before the Chemical club Wednesday afternoon in the chemistry building. His work is to study varnishes and upon that subject he spoke. Varnish is made principally of resin and oil and there are two common methods of preparing it. According to the speaker, where the varnish is exposed to the weather it should be richer in resin than in oil. But when it is used for carriage purposes or where there is considerable jarring there should be more oil then resin.
E. Ward Tillotson, a fellow in chemistry, will speak later.

COLORED STUDENTS TO FORM A "FRAT"
ALPHA PHI ALPHA IS THE NAME GIVEN IT.
Will Be Fourteen Charter Members From the Colored Student Body in New Fraternity.
In a personal letter to one of the colored men at the University, Richard Hill, secretary to the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, says it is not only possible but highly probable that a branch of the fraternity will be established here before the close of the scholastic year.
Alpha Phi Alpha is a national organization among colored college men that has for its object the closer affiliation of its members and the uplifting of the moral, intellectual and social standards of the race. It was organized five years ago at Cornell and so rapidly has it grown that it has members and representatives at many Eastern collges, the ones at Ann Arbor and Yale having chapter houses.
Mr. Hill, national secretary, is a law student at the former place. As a delegate from the east will have to come and set up the chapter here, Mr. Hill will very likely be the one sent.
The colored men at the University here have had this project in mind for some time and at last fortune seems to be smiling upon their plans. There will be fourteen charter members.
DESIRE A REPRESENTATION
Colored Girls to Elect Student Government Representative.
It has been suggested by several members of the faculty that the colored girls of the University organize and elect a representative to the Student Government Council. The colored girls intend doing so after quiz week.
Quill to Elect Officers.
The Quill club will hold its annual election of officers next Monday at its regular weekly meeting. Last week a primary election was held at which three nominees each for the several offices were selected. At the next meeting the following candidates will be voted upon:
President—Walter Mayer, Walter LeClere, Elliot Porter, Ruth Hunt. Vice president—John Ise, Louis Rufener, Millicent Noftzger. Secretary-treasurer—Christine Wenrich, Louis Rufener, and Louis LaCoss.
Another Debating Tryout.
At a meeting of the debating council yesterday afternoon, it was decided that another tryout be held to fill the vacancies recently caused by the resignation of two of the members, E. L. Overman and Miss Stuart.
The tryout will be held in Green hall one week from next Saturday night, Jan. 28, at 7 o'clock.
