Music Therapy Meeting Starts
The second annual regional conference of the National association for Music Therapy, Midwestern region, District IV, is being held today in the Student Union.
The Midwestern region, District IV, was organized at a meeting in Topeka in July 1953, and includes members from Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
The conference is being sponsored by the National association for Music Therapy and University Extension. About 60 persons are expected to attend, said George Brooks, assistant director of University Extension.
Some of the topics to be discussed at the conference include research in the midwestern area, academic and clinical discussions of music therapy student training, and clinical work in music therapy.
Conference members will visit the psychology and music laboratories at the University.
Dr. J. H. Burckhalter, professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, has received nearly $20,000 in grants for research on synthetic drugs during the coming year.
The U.S. Public Health service through its National Heart institute, has authorized $7,128 for Dr. Burckhalter's research in each of the next two years, with probable commitment for a third year. This study will deal with development of synthetic relatives of veratermine, a natural drug useful in treating diseases of the heart.
Parke, Davis and company of Detroit will provide $5,300 for research on synthetic anti-amebic agents and anti-malarial drugs. This will be the eighth consecutive year the firm has supported Dr. Burckhalter's work.
Sam Britton and Cecil Caldwell, both graduate students at the University of Mississippi, will enter KU this summer to become research assistants on the USPHS project. They will be candidates for the Ph.D. degree in pharmaceutical chemistry.
Students under the Parke, Davis grant are Robert I. Leib and William S. Brinigar Jr., both working on the anti-amebic drugs; and Lakshmanan Neelakantan of India, working on anti-malarials. All are graduate students.

AFROTC Sets Summer Camps
About 135 Air Force cadets will take a month's base training at air force bases this summer as part of an Air Force orientation program.
Col. Thomas B. Summers, professor of air science and tactics, said the purpose of the month's orientation is to give the cadets a chance to study every phase of base operations from supply to maintenance operation.
About 30 cadets will go to Hamilton Air Force base in San Francisco, and 30 more will go to Bergstrom base in Big Springs, Tex. Twenty-one cadets will take the training at Webb Air Force base in Waco, Tex., and 14 will train at a Long Beach, Calif. base. Nine cadets will train at Norton Air Force base San Beruandina, Calif.
The program is similar at all of the bases with cadets being taught phases of Air Force discipline, customs, supply, and weather patroling.
Thirty cadets will train at a late summer camp at Bergstrom base, and one cadet will go to the Castle Air Force base in California.
Two KU Engineers To Offer Treatises
The program is a general non-specialist approach to the role of the Air Force in the modern world, Col. Summers said.
Two seniors of the mechanical engineering department are to present treatises today and tomorrow in Tulsa, Okla., at the district convention of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Barton Hoglund, senior, is presenting his paper on "Availability" and Kenneth May, senior, is presenting "An Instantaneous and Overall Mileage Meter."
