THE ARG US ILLINOIS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY VOL. 42 BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1935 Schlaviansky Russian Chorus To Appear Here Next Week Group Directed by Daugh-ter of Founder; Organ-ized 77 Years Ago Mme. Agreneva Schlaviansky and her world-toured Russian Chorus, an organization of sing-ers, dancers, Balalaika orchestra will apphe ar icn Prens ser He all nOct.1a 17 as the second number on the Concert and Lecture Course. The chorus was organized 77 years ago by Dmitry Agreneff, a member of the highest nobility in Moscow. He had started on a successful opt.esratic career whenhc he decided to apply himself to the preservation of the Slavic and Russian folk-song which were fast disappearing. He lived for years among the primitive people of Siberia, living in their Mine. Agreneva Schlaviansk huts, and learning their thoughts and emotions as they exoressed them in their simple ballads. Daughter Present Director The present director of the chorus is Mme. Agreneva Sla-viansky, youngest daughter of the founder. She was trained by her father from her earliest childhood in the work and fin-ished her musical education in Milan ani Berlin. She succeeded her father at the time of his death in 1908 and carries on his work. Accompanying Mme. Sla-viansky on her present tour is her only daughter, Mlle, Mara Slaviansky, who assists her in her work as well as appearing as soprano soloist and as an ac-companist. Dancers on Program Mme. Slaviansky Is one of the few internationally recognized women conductors. She has taken her chorus through most of the countries of the world. She has given over one thou-sand concerts in America. In addition to many vocal combinations used by the sing-ers, fiery and characteristic Russian dances given by agile and lithe Russian men and girls create a spectacular side to the programs. Waldorf Addresses 150 On New Drive for School The Illinois conference of the Methodist church has authorized the plan whereby $60,000 will be raised to pay off the indebted-ness at Illinois Wesleyan. One half of the money is to be raised in Bloomington, and the other half in surrounding communi-ties. Tuesday, Oct. 8, one hundred preachers met with Bishop Wal-dorf, at the call of the bishop, to discuss the efforts outside of Bloomington. The meeting was held in the Grace church. District superintendents, most of whom are on the Wesleyan board, will be in charge of the efffforts in their respective communities. The local Association of Com-merce has indorsed the effort as one which will result in a better Bloomington. Students and fa-culty members annually make many contributions which help to give Bloomington its distinc-tive reputation. Wesleyan is glad to make these contributions and is deeply grateful to the city for the cooperation and loyalty it has received in Its efforts In the past. McPherson to Preach at Rally Day Sunday y Kraft Pleases Capacity House Many Wesleyanites were among the audience which filled Presser hall auditorium Wed-nesday evening, Oct. 2, to at-tend the inaugural concert of the 1935-1936 Wesleyan Concert and Lecture course. The brilliant organist, Edwin Arthur Kraft, F.A.G.O., who is at present choirmaster and or-ganist of Trinity Cathedral at Cleveland, Ohio, and director of music at Lake Erie college, pre-sented an unusual program in that it displayed examples of all kinds of organ music. Unusual Control The opening number showed the style of the great Handel to an exceptional degree. The "Pre-lude and Fugue in A Minor" by Bach was of extreme interest because of the careful manage-ment of the contrapuntal themes and the clear and precise phras-ing. Kraft's interpretation of the "Sketch in F Minor" by Schumann was also well re-ceived, as this number showed unusual control of the swell pedals of the organ. During the program a presentation of his own arrangement of "Phedre Overture" was generously given by Mr. Kraft, and it was unique in style and variety. A great delicacy of playing was displayed in "The' Caprice" by Dethier be-cause of the variations of tone color which were put into it. Reception After Program As his last piece ended, Kraft was greeted by tremendous ap-plause to which he responded with "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner, in which the solo theme is played on the pedals. Following the performance, an informal reception was held in the reception room of Dean Westbrook's studio. In the re-ceiving line were Professor Beadles, Professor Jordan, Prof. F. B. Stiven. who is Dean of the University of Illinois School of Music, and Mr. Kraft. Many people from Peoria, Pe-kin, Eureka, Champaign, and Pontiac attended the rectial and expressed their delight on Mr. Kraft's playing and the new or-gan, which was heard in full concret for the first time.

Hodgens Names Homecoming Cast In Lula Vollmer's "Moonshine and Honeysuckle," we have a play cut to Homecoming speci-fications. This southern mountaineer plot is overflowing with the tra-ditional Kentucky life-riotous scenes, feuds, mystery, romance and, above all, Comedy spelled with a capital "C." Over 60 persons tried out for parts. The following cast was selected: Cracker Gaddis, Oretha Pierce; Clem Betts, James Melluish; Pa Betts, Lyle Van Horn; Piney Hy-att, Arvilla Bauer; Annie Bev-ins, Doris Shepherd; Tom Bev-ins, Robert Duncan; Buck Gad-dis, John Janca; Pegleg Gaddis, Junior Mansky; Gypsy Carter, Elizabeth Ann Goudy; Pedler, Paul McCance; Pink Freeze, Dale Volle;Judge, Norman Marshall.

Ralph Shannon was elected to take the place of Ernest Seeman in the council membership. It was agreed that selling of Homecoming stickers would not be counted in the points toward the keg. The fraternities will continue to sell them, however. It is being discovered that Oct. 6 was the thirty-seventh anni-versary of the founding of Phi Mu Alpha, the council gave the Phi Mus a warm testimonial of fratenial affection. Dale Ey-mann responded to the demon-stration with several clever im-personations. The next regular meeting will be held at the Phi Mu house. Observatory Open Clear Evenings The Behr observatory, located on the east side of the campus along Park street, is now open evenings when the weather is clear. The observatory houses a fine stationary telescope and there is also a fine small telescope for moving around the campus for beter views. Such things as the moon, Saturn with her rings, double stars and the like, will be among the things shown. It is worth a small part of anyone's time to see these in-teresting things and the school is fortunate to have this fine equipment. Special appointments can be made for definite evenings by seeing Dr. Mortimer in the sci-ence building. He now has a student assistant, which will en-able him to take care of all ap-pointments.

Novel Program Promised By Homecoming Committeemen T A P to Present "Family Affairs" Theta Alpha Phi met at Ro-land's tea room last Tuesday, Oct. 1, at 6:30 p. m. The frater-nity will hold dinner meetings on the first Tuesday of every month. Barbara Smith, president, led the meeting. The group discussed the Homecoming play. They plan to supervise the committees for both the Homecoming and the Masquers plays. Mary Fern Martin was elected secretary, in place of Margaret Lantz, who did not return to school. James Melluish was elec-ted treasurer to replace Harold Livingston. Theta Alpha Phi is to sponsor a radio play over WJBC. This serial, "Family Affairs," has 13 episodes, and one episode is pre-sented each week. The plot is similar to the NBC serial, "One Man's Family." The fraternity plans to keep a scrap book of clippings concern-ing their various activities on the campus and in the near vi-cinity. Masquers to Give Play in December The Masquers held its first meeting in Hedding hall Thurs-day, Oct. 3, at 7:30 p. m. Vir-ginia Shannon presided. The group is responsible for help on the committees on ush-ering for the major productions on the campus this year, and for taking part in their produc-tion, "Just Around the Corner," to be presented in December. They also plan to present a number of plays before chapel and at least one a month before their own group. Dr. Hodgens presented details about the Homecoming produc-tion and the radio skit, "Family Upstairs," which Theta Alpha Phi is sponsoring over WJBC.

Mrs. Bethania Smith is faculty adviser for Homecoming this y e a r and Dwight Drexler is alumni secre-tary. No definite plans for Home-coming will be announced until the next issue of the Argus. At that time announcement will be made of the various events that will have been formulated by the committee members and their chairmen. No Half-Way Measures As usual, there has been quite a bit of talk over the Home-coming Dance orchestra. Acree and Postlethwaite report that either one of two things will be in force this year at the dance: either a dance band of excellent reputation and renown and one with a "name" will be booked or one of the orchestras of the local vicinity will be used. In other words, there will be no half way dance band this year. There has been quite a bit of agitation for a "name" orchestra and at the present time some "finiglin' is going on in an attempt to bring a band of note to the campus for the Homecoming dance. Final discussion and decision will be printed in the next issue of the Argus. Suffice to say, at the present time, that the chair-men promise some unique and novel contests for Homecoming this year along with a very var-ied program of events. Committees Listed Following are the students ap-pointed by Acree and Postle-thwaite to serve on the various Homecoming committees: Dance: general chairman, Paul Raber; decorations: co-chair-t men, Barbara Smith, Dean t Zehr; members, William Clen-denin, Marion Kiser, Wayne Metcalf; programs: chairman, Betty Gage; members, Betty Patman, Bill Crossman, Bill ( uthric; ticket sale: chairman, Chuck Finch; members, Rach-ael Zweng, Virginia Wynecoop.
