was given at 4:00 o'clock yes
terday in the Hill music hall.
The program was divided into
two parts, semi-classical and lab.
oratory. .
The first part of the program,
which Consisted of music by liv
ing composers with the excep
tion of - Loeillet, was composed
entirely of flute music, which
was played by Lamar Stringfield,
with the assistance of Miss Ade
line McCall, pianist.
Local Composers
The last half of the "program,
the music written under the di
rection of the folk music insti
tute, was made up of chamber
music, all of which was writ
ten since the first of the year.
The composers were present and
received ovations from the au
dience when their compositions
had been played. Two of them,
Thor Johnson and Herbert Ha
zelman, are only nineteen years
old and students in the Univer
sity. The others were Mrs. Ros-
sie C. Allen, a teacher of string

ing orchestration and composi
tion here.
Lamar Stringfield, comment
ing on the value of these con
certs, said, "Of course, much
that is written here will be bad,
but the idea of having facili
ties for the interpretation of
their compositions will spur the
composers on to write good
music. Much credit should be
given to Earl WolslageJ, Thor
Johnson, Herbert Hazelman,
Walter King, and Carl Plaster,
the boys who played the labora
tory music. They received no
scholastic credit either for com
posing or playing in the con
cert."

Since his graduation forty-
five years ago, Haywood Parker

CHANGE MADE IN
DESIGN OF SETS
FOR NEW PLAYS
In the production of The Com
mon Gift, by Elwyn de Graffen
ried, The Loyal Venture, by Wil
keson O'Connell, and Bloomers,
by Jo Norwood, tonight at 8:30
o'clock, the Playmakers will try
something new in the way of
scenery. The old style realistic
scenery always seen on the Play
makers stage will give place to
impressionistic sets for these
three plays. .
Director Sam Selden has tried
impressionistic scenery once to
a lesser degree in his production
of Saturday's Children last fall.
The sets to be used tonight are
the type used in the second act
of Saturday s Children.
Instead of making scenery to
picture in minute detail the time
and - locality , represented in the
play, Selden has made his sets
suggestive of the spirit of the
plays. Bare details of the essen
tials of the sets attractively
painted in outstanding ' colors
will be thrown against the blaclc
cyclorama as a background.
Along with the novel changes
in style of sets, Mrs. Harry Da
vis arid Mrs. J. M. Valentine
have designed special costumes
of brilliant; colors to harmonize
with the scenery.
Both Supporter
beliefs on students.' His chief
formula for education is testing
for the truth. As a member of
the executive and building com
mittees of the board, he has been
an advocate of an" extensive
building program for the Uni
versity and a continuance of its
liberal policies.
Haywood Parker is extremely
modest in all his public activi
ties! He has never expressed a
desire to hold public office and
describes himself as "a Demo
crat fighting in the ranks." Yet
in time of need he is known to
both state and University as a
supporter and champion.
He was the choice of the
trustees to represent President
Frank P. Graham at the latter's
inauguration last fall. In his
address he revealed his close
touch with, the University and
his devotion to. her cause. Dis
cussing the increasing popular
ity of the University, Parker
stated, "The seven teachers and
sixty-eight students of 1875
have grown now to 220 teachers
and 2823 students with addi
tional hundreds receiving ex
tension service. These "figures
declare the increasing faith and
confidence in this" University.
In these days of financial depres
sion and troublesome readjust
ments these things should be to
us a justification for our faith
that the 'state will compensate
such service with adequate sup
port.:' STATE COMMENCEMENT

address by President Frank
Graham at a University convo
cation this morning from 10 :00
to li:00 o'clock in Memorial
hall. Nine-thirty classes will be
cut short one-half hour in order
that members of the faculty, as
well as students, may have the

The honor system, as outlin

basis of student life at the Uni

student honor replaces any sys

system deals with but three of
fenses cheating, stealing, ly
ing. Violations
The system requires that a
student shall, in all relations of
student life, act honorably. It
further requires that he shall
investigate and report all viola
tions which come to his atten

report evidences of guilt is him
self guilty of a breach of honor.
Reports
Breaches of honor are report
ed by students to their own Tri

an accused student denies his
guilt, he has the privilege of de
manding that the accuser ap
pear against him before the
council, k Reports may be turn
ed in by signed statements to
the student government office, or
in person to any member of the
council.
