Fine Arts Recital To Be Given Today
14,000 Books Are Handled Each Year by Watson Library
The School of Fine Arts will present a program of original works by students in composition at 8 tonight in Strong auditorium. The story in yesterday's Kansan failed to list the correct date.
Watson library handles more than 14,000 books each year. These are paid for with a $165,000 fund set aside for the purpose of buying new books.
failed to list the corrections
Lists of new books ordered by the library include few titles of novels since books are ordered for use by students and faculty members. The novels which are ordered are usually at the request of the English department.
New books cover a wide range of topics both of specialized and general interest. In order to create this wide range of appeal, books are ordered in two ways.
ordered new department and school in the university is allowed to request a specified number of books during a school year. The second method is for special requests by students and faculty members.
A discretionary fund is provided to take care of the special orders. Most of the special orders from students are requests from graduate students for books for advanced study.

Processing of new books—assigning catalogue numbers and shelf space—requires about a week and is directed through the cataloguing department by Miss Helen Titsworth. Staff limitations sometimes delay the processing.
Books are not the only things ordered by the library. Pamphlets are ordered in large numbers. The library has facilities for binding the pamphlets.

Maps for the Lindley hall library are also ordered through Watson library.
The Kansas room features a collection of material—books, periodicals, newspaper clippings—about Kansas. It includes books written by University professors.
Barr Awarded Danforth Grant
Marilyn Barr, fine arts senior, has been awarded one of the 50 graduate scholarships given for the first time this year by the Danforth foundation of St. Louis.
The award, worth $1,100, provides a year's graduate study in her field at the Union Theological seminary in New York. It also provides a renewal for the second year, if she makes good.
Miss Barr was recommended by Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College for consideration by the scholarship committee. She named the study of music as preference for graduate work. It will take two years to get a master's degree in church music.
Miss Barr recently gave her graduate recital in piano.

Orchestra Plays Last KU Concert
The last concert of the year featured Lyle Wolfram and Fred Palmer, both fine arts seniors, as soloists. Wolfram played a violoncello solo, "Kol Nidrei" by Bruch, and Palmer played a violin solo, "Concerto in E minor" by Mendelsohn Both were highly appreciated.
The 70-piece University Symphony orchestra, under the direction of Prof. Russell L. Wiley, was well-received last night by a small audience in Hoch auditorium.
A well-liked number on the program was the "Symphony No. 54." This "symphony in fun" was written by the composer between his fifth and sixth symphonies.
"Symphony No. 1" by Mahler gave the audience a chance to observe the playing of the various parts of the orchestra. It is a pastoral piece demanding display of every facility.

1 Red Killed, 85 Injured In Pusan Prison Riot
Seoul, Korea—(U.P).One prisoner of war was killed, 85 were injured and one Allied soldier hurt today when guards broke up a riot by "fanatical" Communist prisoners near Pusan.
At the same time it was disclosed that a "sit down strike" by Kobeun prisoners, doctors and attendants in the main prisoner of war hospital on Koje Island had been broken without violence.
The 148 sit-downers were given 15 minute report to Brig. Gen. Hayden L. Boatter for orders and when they failed to comply they were fired from their jobs and GIs took over the hospital duties.
All the strikers were Koreans who had been picked for their skills from among the prisoners.
from among the press Gen. Boatner told the press today the Communists were using the hospital as a message center.
hospital as a message
He said he had intercepted a letter written from one of the compounds to prisoners in the hospital "giving information on what was going on in the various units and instructing those in the hospital what to do."
The sit-down strike began May 16 when representatives of the prisoner doctors and attendants handed a list of 10 "demands" to Col. G. S. Gelenger, Hospital Commander.
Col. Gelenger was started by the "women" demand.
"You can interpret that one," he said, "whichever way you want."
The actual stop-work came when one prisoner refused to have his hair cut short as required by regulations when he left the hospital as cured.
Oil Strike Nears Close
Denver—(U.P.)—The three-week-old strike of 90,000 union oil workers neared a close today with completion of union-company contract agreements that will send one-fourth of the men back to work.
The first big break in the nationwide walkout came Monday when 10,000 CIO union employees of the Sinclair Oil company voted to accept a work contract and go back to work. Fifty-eight per cent favored it.
The CIO-Sinclair contract, calling for the 15-cent wage increase sanctioned by the Wage Stabilization board a week ago, was the only national contract drawn up in the current industry-labor dispute. All other negotiations among the 22 CIA, AFL, and independent unions and 75 companies have been carried out on a plant-by-plant basis.
More agreements were expected today, as Sinclair officials in New York said all 10,000 of their workers would be back to work by tomorrow.
"This was the signal. Every man of them ran into his compound and they locked themselves in. We called GIs to serve the noon meal.
"The GI who was conducting the man through the different disinfectant stations," said Col. Gelenger, "got out the hospital regulations and showed them to this joker, but the prisoner tore them up and threw them at the Gi's face and ran.
Col. Gelenger called in Gen. Boatner at 3:30 p.m. He went immediately to the hospital and told the leaders of the sit-down to report to him at the main office.
They refused. They demanded that the commanding general report to them.
Gen. Boatner then gave them 15 minutes to report in person under threat of losing their soft jobs in the hospital. When they failed to report on time, he told the senior duty officer to transfer them out of the hospital area.
They were taken out yesterday.
The School of Fine Arts will present Eugene Hall, pianist, in a senior recital at 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 21, in Strong auditorium.
Hall to Present Piano Recital
Hall, a student from the classes of Paul Snyder, is from Kansas City, Mo. He is a member of Phil Mu, Sigma Nu, the Newman club, and the Jayhawker's staff. He has been on the Dean's Honor Roll each semester in residence and has been named a distinguished military student in the ROTC. He served musical director, composer, and arranger, for the 1950 "College Daze" production.
Hall has also been active on the campus with his dance band. He plans to return to the University next fall to complete work on a degree in theory and composition.
The recital is open to the public without charge.
The program is "Sonata in G, B, D minors" and "Cat Fugue in G minor" by Scarlatti; "Sonata in E flat, Op. 7" by Beethoven; 13 "Scenes from Childhood, Op. 15" by Schumann, and "Sonata No. 3, Op. 28" by Prokofieff.
Signs of Exam Week Appear As KU Life Mounts to Frenzy
Signs of final week are evident when the party boy in the next room stays home to type a paper, the cigarette machine is empty. and the coke machine runs out so quickly 5 cen
By JERRY RENNER
From now until May 29 term paper requirements make dormitories sound like a secretarial school.
There are three classes of typists. The fine arts major who beats out his term paper in two-four or waltzes it out in three-four time.
The methodical bacteriologist who inspects each key before he uses it (germs, you know), hits it lightly, "It is an e," he mutters, then back spaces, hits it a sound wallop and searches out the next letter.
A combination of the two with a little "genius" added is the desperate engineer who has a set of mirrors rigged up and four English books. By glancing into the mirrors he can take a sentence from each book and dove-tail them into the perfect term paper. "The prof will go nuts if he tries to check this," he chuckles.
The morning begins, not by a ringing alarm clock, but with someone's speech final—"A four day college week is the only solution to reduce the student urge to cut class."
Quiet hours discourage the noisier parties and one is lulled to sleep at 4 a.m. by the rhythm of typewriters.
Breakfast is spent reading
treatise on the Brannan plan, strictly for typographical errors. (That's some sort of scheme to make Democratic farmers rich, the Republicans say!)
In class profs keep pouring on assignments. "Turn this in the day of the final." It involves only 10 hours work. There is plenty of time to study for Thursday's exam—when you repeat the course.
The library is crowded but when the tired student decides to take a breather and see a movie there is standing room only. All KU is breathing.
Life mounts to a frenzy as final week swings into gear. Days and nights are much the same as one begins on January's reading list in each course.
Test days come. A few hours of agony. Even the law of averages seems on the faculty's side when it comes to answering questions.
In seven days, or less for the lucky student, final week is over and the waiting and the race begins. A successful year at KU depends beating the family to the mail box.
