A WORTHY PERFORMANCE—Jennie Tourel, right, walks off stage with her accompanist, Allen Rogers, following her concert Monday night.
Monday night.
'Good Voice Must Be Natural,' Says Singer
By FELECIA FENBERG
(Assistant Society Editor of The Daily Kansas)
"Not anyone can be a singer," is the firm belief of Jennie Tourel, concert recitalist who appeared at KU Monday night. "It doesn't matter how much training a person receives. If he isn't naturally blessed with a good voice, all attempts to make it good are useless."
Miss Tourel should know. She has been singing for a long time, and sees that few people really have the talent to make a career of singing.
"I hesitate when young hopefuls come and ask me to listen to their stories. You tell them what you honestly think their feelings are hurt."
Do they ask her advice as to what they should marry or have a marriage.
"I just tell them that I'm not a marriage counselor," she answered flatly.
She Likes People
Miss Tourel has an interest in people—in everyone ranging from the members of Sigma Alpha Iota, honorary music sorority, who gave a luncheon in her honor Monday, to South African natives.
On a recent tour of South Africa, she broke all social customs by giving a special concert for the Negroes.
"They told me that the Negroes were never allowed to attend any shows given by white entertainers," she said. "So when I decided to give a performance just for the 'non-Europeans' the others were astonished. The hall where we appeared was dilapidated, the piano was almost unbearable, but they loved our concert. They asked me to sing songs that they knew because they wanted to hum along with me."
Miss Tourel has been singing since she was one year old, but did not begin any formal study until she was 16 years old.
Although born in Russia and educated in France, Miss Tourelle considers the United States her home. Since she made her debut in the United States in 1942 she has done 11 transcontinental tours, singing with the orchestra and in college auditoriums. She finds that contrary to what many persons think, college students do appreciate "good" music.
"I started out playing the flute," she said. "Then I took up piano, and finally my parents encouraged me to study voice."
Began At One
When asked if she still played the two instruments, she answered, "no."
Miss Tourel's future plans tentatively include a six week holiday in Southern France this summer.
"I've never really relaxed and I want to try it," she said. "Maybe I'll like it."
"I've noticed a change in the last few years," she said. "Students seem to take more interest in classical and semi-classical music. Often it depends on what they hear. If a ceramist thinks they think all classical music is like that, we just have to choose those compositions that they will like."
"No, my nails are too long.
Dr. Norman W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, and the 42 students in his 9 a.m. class in Astronomy 12 were to observe the arrival of spring today with a short ceremony.
It's Official! Spring's Here
Dr. Storer said he "thought he should at least mention it" since it was the first time in his 28-year collegiate teaching career that a vernal equinox had occurred during an astronomy class.
The vernal equinox—when the sun is directly over the equator on its annual trek north—occurred at 9:21 a.m. today about 70 miles east of the mouth of the Amazon River in Brazil, over the Atlantic Ocean.
An instructor in one of these higher mathematics classes recently tried to explain a difficult problem to his students.
It's A Handy Rule, But Tough To Find
The mysteries of mathematics are many and deep, particularly in the more abstract courses.
A baffled coed began lealing through her notes. Finally she whispered to a fellow student, "What in heaven's name is this Rule of Thumb? I've looked all through my notes and I can't find Thumb's Rule anywhere."
"Your answer won't be exact," he said. "This is more or less a rule of thumb."
Marvin Prepares Paper For UNESCO
A 6,000-word paper on "Education for Journalism in the United States of America" has been prepared by Dean Burton W. Marvin of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, for a world conference on professional training of journalists.
It will be presented at the conference in Paris, France, April 9 to 13. Sponsor of the meeting is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, which has invited some 30 experts fro m21 countries to participate. Dr. N. K. Luxon, dean of the University of North Carolina School of Journalism, will represent American schools and departments of journalism.
Lawyer's Legal Journal Gains Wide Recognition
Many KU coeds can readily testify that the unexpected is commonplace at the daily gatherings on the front steps of Green Hut.
Inside, on the other hand, some other unexpected activities take place in a large room in the southwest corner of the basement. This is where law students wrestle with the problems of editing and publishing.
The publication is the Kansas Law Review, a quarterly legal journal, which has wide-recognition. Twelve hundred Kansas lawyers and law students subscribe. Other subscribers include libraries in 45 states, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska.
The Law Review is compiled and edited entirely by law students, Editor-in-chief Tom Payne, Olathe third-year law student, describes the staff as "the brain trust of the law school." Selection is based on scholarship.
Board of Directors
The Law Review is published by a non-profit corporation. Members of the recently elected board of directors are Payne; James E. Taylor, Sharon Springs, and John C. Wesley, Ulysses, third year students, associate editors; John H. Fields, and John J. Jurcyk, Kansas City, Kan., second year students, note editors: Harry W. Lyle, Ulysses second year student, book review editor, and LaVerne G. Morin, Damar second year student, business manager.
A typical issue of the Law RevIEW contains five sections. The first section presents articles by judges, professors, lawyers, and government officials discussing legal questions from practical, ethical, or philosophical points of view.
The second and third sections are comments and case notes written by students comparing current cases in a specific field of jurisprudence with the established precedents in that field and suggesting the possible changes or lack of change which may result from such cases.
Opinions. Rulings
Opinions, rulings, and regulations of the Kansas attorney general's office are presented in the fourth section. Book reviews contributed by outstanding authorities make up the fifth section.
The Law Review was started in July 1952 at the suggestion of Charles H. Oldfather Jr., associate professor of law, and M. C. Slough, professor of law, who subsequently became the faculty advisers.
The Law Review rated first in Kansas legal publications with its December 1955 issue which was devoted entirely to a survey of Kansas law. In that issue all Kansas Supreme Court decisions from 1953 to 1955 were compared with the existing opinions of the legal field to which they applied, suggesting the possible effects of the recent decisions.
Dan Hopson Jr., associate professor of law and one of the original editors of the Review, became faculty adviser last fall when he Oldfather took a leave of absence.
ROTCSociety ToHearBriton
Col. John C. Winchester, British Army, will be a guest speaker at a meeting of Company E-7, Pershing Rifles, of the Army ROTC at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Student Union Pine Room.
Initiation exercises for new members will be beld.
Col. Winchester joined the First British Airborne Division in 1943.
Col. Winchester, recipient of the Military Cross, graduated from the Royal Military Academy Woolwich, (pre-war equivalent of United States West Point) in 1931, and from Cambridge University in 1934.
Since the war, he has served in Palestine and Kenya as an engineer and as a staff officer. He has been assigned recently to the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth as the British instructor.
The dog population of the United States is estimated at 22,500,000 and there are 2,300 hospitals to take care of them.
Anthropologist To Give Law Talks Today, Wednesday
E. Adamson Hoebel, professor of anthropology and chairman of the department of anthropology at the University of Minnesota, will be on the campus today and Wednesday to give talks on the development of law in primitive societies.
His visit has been arranged by the School of Law and by the department of sociology.
"It is logical that the law school should have an anthropologist as a lecturer," Dean Frederick Moreau of the School of Law said, "because as Justice Holmes has said, 'If your subject is law, the roads are plain to anthropology.'"
Dr. Hoebel is an authority on law among primitive peoples and on the relation of anthropology to law of civilized societies. He has done extensive field work in the legal aspects of American Irdian cultures.
Among the books he has written on his subject are "Man in the Primitive World" and "The Cheyenne Way."
Today—10 a.m., "The Social Meaning of Legal Concepts," Little Theater; 4 p.m., "The Law of Love Man," Strong Auditorium.
The schedule of his three talks at KU is as follows:
Dr. Hoebel was graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1928, received his Ph.D. from Columbia University, and did additional graduate work in Cologne, Germany.
Wednesday—3 p.m., "Political Institutions and Development of Law." Strong Auditorium.
At present he is director of the Social Science Research Council and president-elect of the American Anthropological Association.
I cannot stress enough the eminence of this man," Dean Morrean
