Union Displaying Modern Paintings A display of modern art may be seen on the north wall of the main lounge of the Student Union. Each picture has an accompanying label introducing the artist and his style. The prints are done in "Seal-lite," a non-breakable but light material which makes it unnecessary to frame the pictures. Both American and European masters, most of whom are considered leading exponents of the various trends in modern art, have been included. European artists include Braque, Brague, Leger, Miro, Arp, and Moore, and American artists are represented by Hartley, Davis, Rattner, and Avery.

Storm Relieves Drought Areas Heavy rains moved slowly across drouth-parched farmlands today as the government promised an Air Force "hay lift" to critical areas if it becomes necessary. By UNITED PRESS A band of rain stretching from South Dakota to northern Texas brought sorely needed relief to farmers suffering through one of the nation's worst dry spells. Possible government relief was revealed in a telegram from President Eisenhower to Sen. Stuart Symington (D.-Mo.). The cool, wet air was not expected to move into the eastern half of the nation until this weekend. Continuing above normal temperatures were predicted in the meantime. The telegram said Agriculture Secretary Fzra Taft Benson has told brouth state governors he has alerted the Air Force to bring hay into the worst-stricken areas if necessary. Sen. Symington commented that "a few hundred tons of hay delivered promptly" to Missouri airfields could save farmers' breeding and dairy herds. Unless farmers in this area can get hay within the next few days, they will have to sell their herds for what they can get, Sen. Symington said. In Washington Mr. Eisenhower said 425 counties in the Midwest, Southwest and South have been listed as drouth disaster areas. Secretary Benson later added 29 more counties in five southern states to the list. The prolonged dry spell already has caused crop and livestock losses in the nation mounting into many millions. Water reserves fell in many communities as new wells and other emergency measures were ordered. Dr. John Newfield, director of the University theater, and Prof. Gerald Carney, musical director, have announced the cast for "Die Fleddermaus," to be presented in February by the theater and the Light Opera guild.

Fulbright Deadline Is Oct. 31 Sound Laboratory Offers Aid in Study of Languages The deadline for applications for Fulbright scholarships is Oct. 31. The Kansas yesterday erroneously reported the deadline was Oct. 23. The sound laboratory has accommodations for 30 students seated in individual booths. There are 12 channels to which any booth or combination of booths may listen. Included in these 12 channels are four record turntables, six wire recorders, a voice circuit and a short wave radio. Students having difficulty in pronouncing French, Spanish or Italian give a break at the university. By LARRY BOSTON Karl S. E. Pond, assistant instructor, is the technician who set up the sound laboratory in 1949. Possessing no formal electrical training, Mr. Pond is required to be elementary" and "anyone could set one up by just using common sense." There are also four incoming circuits on which a student's voice may be recorded as he is pronouncing a lesson. KU is one of the few schools in the nation having a complete sound laboratory where students may hear recordings taken from their textbooks. In this laboratory, the student listens to the recordings through earphones and follows the announcer in pronouncing the sounds. Two soundproof booths are provided for advanced students and instructors who wish to do additional language recording. Placed in front of the student in the booth in which he sits is a small mirror in which facial movements can be seen as the sounds are formed. Mr. Pond has just returned to KU from two year's service with the State department and the Mutual Security administration. He was assistant educational adviser in seven Far Eastern countries during that time. Previous to that, he spent two years attending university and taking up the KU sound room and working here two months as a technician. He also has designed similar rooms for the University of Nebraska and an installation in central Java.
