EntertaiiiH With Six
Different Styles.
"Hot fiddling" has become a
popular term in connection with
Joe Venuti, who with his famous
Venutians will furnish music for
the annual Junior-Senior Prom
Friday evening, March 6. Indeed,
bo popular have these words be
come when used in reference to the
NBC master of the violin that
very few radio fans are un
familiar with his six different
styles of violin music.
Altho the noted radio artist and
musician is almost six feet tall
and built like the Colossus i of
Rhode, he never plays a full ize
violin. He owns three exceedingly
valuable instruments and they are
all mven-eighth size. He could,
of course, readily play a full size
fiddle if he chose.

Saturday afternoon as she ad

Founder's day program, pleaded
with the republican jeaders to con

the rescue of the nation.
The new deal critic lambasted
the excessive expenditures of the
administration, and reviewed the
magnitude of the taxes which she
considered would inevitably come
as a reaction from the craze for
spending. She continued the prose

people into different classes which
has resulted in a warfare between
labor and wealth.

Mrs. Simmons, who herself pro

Alf Landon was about to enter
the Chinese room of the Lin

as the honored guest for the
annual Founder's day pro
gram was ushered in one door
the pro-Borah placard was de
moved to the back of the
room.
When the ambiguous poster
had finally been concealed be
hind a door and the respected
Rock-chalk governor had sta
tioned himself in the middle
of the ring of eager press rep
resentatives, he was greeted
with an immediate "Do you
intend to run for president?"
from a man in the back of
the room. Although the gov
ernor seemed by no means
startled by the directness of
the query, he managed to
avoid an answer by stating
that his friends of the press
in Kansas would disown him
if he were to release a state
ment in the neighboring state.
"Do you intend to partici
pate in any of the preferential
primary elections to be staged,
Mr. Landon?" to this the gov
ernor replied, "No, I have
given it no consideration as
yet." However the emphasis
placed on the final "as yet"
would seem to imply that he
might be open to such consid
eration any time in the future.
Questions as to the possible
presidential nominees' opin
ion on certain phases of the
Social Security bill and Pub
lic Works Administration
failed to draw comment. He
implied that he thought that
the programs might be souna
theoretically but as to prac
tice he could see much room
for improvement.
And as the conference drew
to a close the Kansas gover
nor approached the Nebras
kan reporter and joked "I
hope you Cornhuskers treat
me a little more cordially to
day than you have been ac
customed to treating our foot
ball teams on our annual
meetings." "However." he
continued, "I see that the Jay- j
hawk boys did a fairly good
