Woody Herman to Present Show
Modern "undanceable" jazz will be presented by Woody Herman's Caravan of Stars, when the show appears in Hoch auditorium at 8 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 29.
Appearing with "Herman's Herd," Herman's new band, will be the Mills Brothers, Dinah Washington, Harold King, novelty entertainer, and Mr. Everybody, an impersonator
The band will present a "listening jazz" concert. Describing the type of music that will be offered, Mr. Herman said, "We're striving to be progressive and play the music that is accepted as great, but we still try to make it understandable."
Tickets for the KU appearance can be purchased at the Fine Arts office. Prices are $1.50 for balcony seats and $2.00 for main floor seats, including tax. There will be no reserved seats for the performance.
"Herman's Herd" is the latest in the series of Woody Herman bands which started before World War II. In the early 1940's Herman's group recorded its first hit, "Woodchoppers Ball," with the Merry Macs. By 1945, when his band was chosen Number One in the nation, Woody Herman was making movies and starring on a weekly radio show.
Igor Stravinsky composed the "Ebony Concerto" for Herman, and "Herman's Herd" performed it at Carnegie hall in 1946.
Dinah Washington and the Mills Brothers are equally as famous as the Herman aggregation. Miss Washington is one of the world's best known jazz singers, and the Mills Brothers are among the nation's top recording stars.
The other performers, Harold King and Mr. Everybody, are not well known on a national scale, but they possess top quality talent, and are much in demand on the nightclub circuit.
Botanist to Study Oak Wilt Research
A research project on tree diseases, especially oak wilt, will be continued by the department of botany with the arrival of Francis L. Madinger this week.
Mr. Madinger received the master's degree from the University of Wisconsin and is currently working on the Ph.D. degree in plant pathology.
"Oak wilt is a serious disease throughout the midwest." A. J. Mix, chairman of the botany department, said. All varieties of oak are susceptible and the trees die quickly in some cases, he added.
An airplane survey of the disease in Kansas followed by a ground survey was conducted this summer by the State Entomological commission and Kansas State college. Prof. Mix said.
"Last spring we knew of only two infected localities, but the disease is now known to be in some 30 areas in Kansas," he added.
For the past several weeks Mr. Madinger has been familiarizing himself with the disease in Wisconsin where it has been known for 10 years. It has been noticed in Kansas only within the last three years.
"Mr. Madinger's job will be to continue the study of the distribution of the disease and to plan and carry out experiments on practical methods of eradicating diseased trees," Prof. Mix said.
