So You Want to Lead a Band?
A'Stay at Home Man,' Flanagan Hates Travel
"I hate to travel. I won't make any predictions as to how long I'll be in the band business, but some day I'm going to settle down and stay in one place," said Ralph Flanagan in an interview Saturday night.
Mr. Flanagan outlined the strenuous schedule a band on tour must follow and said that when he does settle down he will probably go back to his original occupation as an arranger for radio and TV shows.
During the first part of 1950 Victor wanted some dance band records in the Miller style so I did some arrangements with the Como band. Right away people started calling Victor about the band, but I was reluctant to travel. However the demand became so great that on March 50, 1950 I formed a band of my own and I've been traveling ever since."
records.
"I started in 1941 as an arranger for Sammy Kaye and after I got out of the service in 1941 I did free lance arranging for a while. I learned a lot about music in the service and played in the marching band and dance orchestra. At the end of 1946 I went to work as an arranger on the Perry Como show and did the arrangements on Como's
The Flanagan band played to a "standing room only" crowd in the Union ballroom last Saturday night. In answer to a question as to how well the band has been accepted in its five years of existence Mr. Flanagan said, "We broke our own record at the Pla-Mor in Kansas City a few weeks ago, but generally I find college crowds the most receptive."
IBM Enrollment Set Next Fall, Murphy Reports
Enrollment next fall will be "streamlined" by the use of IBM machines, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said today.
When asked whether this might speed up the possibility of deferred rushing for freshman men, he said, "The main purpose of the housing program would be to provide adequate housing for all our students.
"Deferred rushing for men has not been decided upon as a definite policy. We will not make such a decision until we have proper housing for all students, upperclassmen as well as freshmen."
Dr. Murphy discussed the University's IBM program and the effects of the new education tax law with reporters from the Daily Kansas and radio station KDGU this morning.
Fog and some drizzle covered eastern and north-central Kansas today, giving way gradually to an eastward moving warm front. Partial cloudiness and scattered showers are likely to continue in the southeast tonight. Temperatures will rise this afternoon in the west and in the extreme northeast Tuesday with the low tonight ranging from the 20s in the northwest to the 30s in the southeast and the high tomorrow reaching the 50s in the north to 60s in the south.
He expects "full scale use" of the machines for enrollment and business records by next fall. The machines will be controlled by a separate University department headed by Charles E. Bradrick, who was graduated from the University with a business degree in February, 1954.
Eventually, IBM machines will be used for enrollment and grade records, business office records, and research calculations for the academic departments, Dr. Murphy said.
Dr. Murphy said that if the board of regents apportioned new tax money in proportion to enrollment, the University will be able, for the first time, to plan a long-range housing program.

Student Assistance Asked in Ceremony
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy asked today that University students cooperate with the ushers at the dedication of Allen fieldhouse tomorrow night.
About 6,000 seats have been reserved for students, but the student section is not barricaded. ROTC students will serve as ushers, and indicate the boundaries of the student section.
"It is important that we obey these ushers, and not take up seats for which other people hold tickets." Dr. Murphy said.
The student section is in the middle of the west side of the field house. Students should use the west door on the north side of the building.
Dr. Murphy also requested that students not bring their cars to the game. All buses which make a regular run to the campus will stop at the field house tomorrow night.
Behind-the-scene workers for the March 1 program include A. C. "Dutch" Lonborg, athletic director; Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, Quigley, Keith Lawton, Raymond Nichols, Prof. Allen Crafton, Dr. E. R. Elbel, Fred Ellsworth, Russell L. Wiley, and Chancellor Murphy.
A pageant, to be given at half time, will portray the history of basketball since 1891. Among those who will participate in the ceremonies are Gov. Fred Hall, Oscar Stauffer of Topeka, a board of regents member; Larry "Moon" Mullins, Kansas State Athletic Director; Dr. James McCain, Kansas State college president; Ernie Quigley, former Kansas University Athletic Director; "Dutch" Lonborg and "Tex" Winter, Kansas State cage coach.
Allen to Get Cadillac During Ceremonies
Plans are complete for the presentation of a new 1955 Cadillac to Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen at tomorrow night's dedication of Allen fieldhouse, according to Scott C. Ashton, president of the Greater Kansas City Alumni association.
Open houses will be held at the Museum of Art, Watson library, the Museum of Natural History, Malot hall, the new physical sciences building, and the design department in Strong hall.
The parking area north of the fieldhouse, toward t he campus proper, will be reserved with admission by permit only. Other visitors will be allowed to park along streets and in nearby parking zones.
Confusion Is Keynote of Pageant Task
By MARGOT BAKER
The time was 8:20 p.m. Sunday; the place, Allen fieldhouse; the scene, disorganized. According to one young lady, "We've been here an hour and about all we've done is take roll, and we still have two more rehearsals after this one."
Herk Harvey, the local motion picture producer who is directing the 35-minute pageant to be presented in the fieldhouse at half-time, was standing in the center of the shiny new court, shirt-sleeves rolled back, microphone in hand, giving directions.
"Is there a tall young lady who would like to be the Olympic torch-bearer?" Mr. Harvey wanted to know. After a brief delay a girl in a blue sweater walked across the court, bearing a cheerleader's megaphone.
While Mr. Harvey was directing things from 'center stage' there was much activity going on around the court and in the bleachers. Groups of girls in slacks and Bermuda shorts sat and talked or walked around behind the bleachers. Boys in jeans and black cut-away coats with stiff collars around their necks sat and groups waiting their turns.
Mr. Harvey's voice echoed over the loud speaker system as he gave directions to the electricians or straightened out cues with band director Russell Wiley.
The general atmosphere was one of expectant boredom. Then the band went into a march, and boys bearing flags of all nations converged on the center of the court.
All the stadium lights went off to the accompaniment of catcalls from various quarters, the band played a fanfare and then a spotlight turned on the center of the court.
Bulletin
Army ROTC cadets in Military Science 22 taking part in the Allen fieldhouse pageant rehearsal tonight have been excused officially from taking the Army ROTC test tonight.
At 8:45 p.m. the first rehearsal was over and Mr. Harvey announced that he was going up into the stairs to finish from start to finish, and if it looked all right the rehearsal would be over.
