Mountain Climber to Lecture About Alaska's Mt. St. Elias
Dee Molenaar, adviser in mountain and cold weather training at Camp Carson, Colo., will lecture on Mt. St. Elias, the second highest mountain in Alaska, at 4 p.m. Friday in Fraser theater.
The lecture will be illustrated with color movies taken by Moleman laurent
Mt. St. Elias, which Mr. Molenar climbed in conjunction with equipment and ration tests for the U.S. Air Force and Army quartermaster corps, lioned on the Yukon-Alaska forest, 90 miles away from water in the most heavily glaciated area on the globe exclusive of the polar regions and Greenland.
The mountain, which stands 18,003 feet high, was attempted six times, the first in 1886 under sponsorship of the New York Times. In 1897 an Italian expedition led by the Duke of Abruzzi reached the summit from the Canadian side after spending 40 days on the ice
approach.
In 1946 the American party, consisting of seven men and one woman, climbed the south ridge, reaching the summit July 16—just 205 years after the discovery of the mountain by the Russian explorer Vitus Bering who named it St. Elias in honor of the patron saint of the day.
Mr. Molenaar will speak on K2 mountain, which is being attempted by American climbers for the third time. The other attempts, in 1938 and 1939, ended at 26,500 feet due to high altitude winds, cold, and fatigue. This mountain is 1,000 miles west of Everest.

Pianist Gives Superior Recital
By WAYNE KNOWLES
An obviously appreciative audience attended a piano recital by Martha Heck, fine arts senior, Monday evening. The performance compounded virtuosity and sensitivity.
Miss Heck's initial shyness disappeared as she became engrossed in her first selection, Mozart's Sonata in A Minor, K. 310. Richness of tone and graceful movement made the Sixteen Waltzes by Brahms one of the most appealing numbers of the performance.
Miss Heck exhibited her technical proficiency in the strong contrasts and vigorous movement of Bartok's Three Rondos.
Schumann's Sonata in G Minor, Op. 22 was an appropriate climax to an excellent program. The sonata began with power. The second movement was marked by a gentle lyricism, followed by a vigorous scherzo and rondo.
Miss Heek is a talented interpreter of romantic music. She combined the vigor which was pronounced even in the Mozart sonata with lyrical grace to produce an evening which could have asked only Beethoven to serve as a vehicle for Miss Heek's virtuosity.
