Music Forum surveys baroque
The second presentation of the Student Union Activities Music Forum Series will feature a survey and examples of baroque music at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Kansas Union Music Room.
James Moeser, chairman of KU's organ department, will speak on the topic of "Music in the Baroque Era" and play records to represent the era's music.
Moeser, besides instructing classes of music history and church music, is also the University organist. He plays for convocations and University functions requiring organ music.
The Forum is for both music and non-music majors. "The informal lecture-discussion is geared to people who haven't studied music all their lives," said Eileen Morris, Falls Church. Va., sophomore, and chairman of the Music Forum committee.
who took office two weeks ago following the fall ASC student election, said Kyle Craig, Joplin, Mo, junior and student body president.
At a regular ASC meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Kansas Union Sunflower Room, Craig said he expects a fair housing bill will be introduced by Said Adra, Beirut, Lebanon, junior and president of the International Club.
Craig said the purpose of the bill would be to establish a system whereby all student housing would be rated to see that it meets Kansas State Board of Health and KU standards.
The bill also would provide for an investigation of the feasibility of what Craig called a "down payment policy for foreign students."
Craig said the policy would enable foreign students who do not arrive in Lawrence until September or shortly before the fall semester begins to make a down payment on a place to live for the fall semester before they leave to go home at the end of a school year. Foreign students would then be assured of a place to live when they return in the fall.
In other business, Craig said he will report on the Associated Student Governments of America Conference he attended in San Francisco during Thanksgiving vacation.
Britain-
Continued from page 1 them, the price of their scientific knowledge rose rapidly.
"Allies were actually bidding for the services of these German scientists." Leone said.
A number of the scientists came to the U.S.—among them, Wernher von Braum.
While trying to get the V-2's out of Germany, Leone said they were "more afraid of sabotage than England's getting the rockets."
He said there were "great hordes of slave labor" which had a "habit of destroying anything German, once they were liberated."
An example of this, Leone said, was the Leitz Optical Plant in Germany. Before American troops could clamp security guards around the plant, after its capture, former employees entered and smashed millions of dollars in microscopes. "They thought they were furthering the war effort," Leone said.
Butterfly goes in a 'pine box'
RICHMOND, Calif.-(UPI) —A butterfly, which picked a poor place to rest, was being returned to Toronto, Canada, today in a matchbox.
The insect landed on a golf ball at Richmond Golf and Country Club Monday after fluttering nearly 2,300 miles from Canada to Northern California.
When the ball was retrieved, a tiny sign was noticed on the insect's wing that said: "Send to Zoology, University of Toronto, Canada."

TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY
Yuletide is almost upon us. Let's stop wasting time in classes and get on with our Christmas shopping. Following are a number of gift suggestions, all easily obtainable at your nearest war surplus boutique.
First, a most unusual gift idea, brand new this year and certain to please everyone on your list-a gift certificate from the American Veterinary Medicine Association! Each certificate is accompanied by this charming poem:
Merry Christmas, north and south.
Does your cow have hoof and mouth?
And your dog, fidele semper,
Here's a cure for his distemper.
Little kitten, cute and squirmy,
Bring her in. I think she's wormy.
To bunnies, turtles, parrots green,
Joueux Noel! Heureux Vaccine!
Are you wondering what to give that extra-special man on your list? Stop wondering. Give him that extra-special shaving combination, Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades and Burma Shave. Each gift is accompanied by this charming poem:
Christmas merry, New year bonny
From your friendly blonde Personny.
Christmas merry, New Year bonny.
You will have the ladies fawning.
If you're shaving with Persawning.
Injector style or double edges,
Both are made by good Persedges.
And Burma-Shave in plain or menthol.
Leaves your face as smooth as renthot.
(NOTE: As everyone knows, renthol is the smoothest substance ever discovered. You may not know, however, that renthol is named after its inventor, Ralph Waldo Renthol, who developed it by crossing a swan with a ball bearing.)
(Interestingly enough, Mr. Renthol did not start out to be an inventor. Until age 50 he was a Western Union boy. Then fate took a hand. One day while delivering a singing telegram to a girl named Claudia Sigafoos, Ralph noted to his surprise that the telegram was signed "Claudia Sigafoos!" She had sent herself a birthday greeting!
(When pressed to explain, Claudia told Ralph a heart-rending tale. It seems that when she was only six weeks old, her parents were killed in an avalanche. The infant Claudia was found by a pair of kindly caribou who raised her as their friend. They taught her all they knew—like how to rub bark off a tree and which lichens are better than other lichens—but in time they saw that this was not enough. When Claudia reached age 18, they entered her in Bennington.
(Unused to people, Claudia lived a lonely life—so lonely, in fact, that she was reduced to sending herself birthday greetings, as we have seen.
(Ralph, deeply touched, married Claudia and tried his best to make her mingle with people. It didn't work. They went nowhere, saw no one, except for an annual Christmas visit to Claudia's foster parents, Buck and Doe. To while away his long, lonely hours, Ralph finally built a work bench and started to futz around with inventions, as we have seen.
(It is pleasant to report that the story of Ralph and Claudia ends happily. After the birth of their two children, Donder and Blitzen, Claudia joined the PTA and soon overcame her fear of people. Ralph joined the Elks.)
But I digress. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! Ho-ho-ho!
