Noted Harpsichordist Shows Artist Mastery in Recital
By ROZANNE ATKINS
Artist mastery and personal audience contact endeared Fernando Valenti, harpsichordist, to the capacity crowd in Strong auditorium Monday night.
The harpsichord was recently purchased by the University. The instrument is made of mahogany, stands on five legs, is 10 feet long, has two keyboards, and seven foot pedals.

Dating back to 1409, the harpischord reached its zenith in popularity in the 17th century when the French court was at its height. Its popularity is returning today as a result of the enthusiasm and technical skill of musicians like Mr. Valenti.
Sophomore, Junior Jayhawker Heads
Kenneth Dam, college sophomore, and Frank Norris, business junior, were selected recently as editor and business manager respectively to head next year's Jayhawk.
Dam and Norris were selected by the Jayhawker board which includes Miss Martha Peterson, dean of women; Karl Klooz, bursar; Thomas Yoe, director of public relations; Dean Burton Marvin of the school of journalism; James Worland, professor of English; Kay Conrad, college junior; Dean Glasco, engineering sophomore; Ron Kull, journalism junior; Win Koerper, college senior; Bill Howell, college senior; Dick Hackney, journalism senior; Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the chancellor, and Bill Conboy, instructor in speech.
Instead of playing "Les Barricades Mysteriouses" and "L'Arlequine" as programmed, Mr. Valenti chose a selection by Mozart.
Mr. Valenti has a showman's poise, personality, command, and most of all a sense of humor. After an uproar of applause, Mr. Valenti gave the harpsichord full credit for its part in the success by clapping for it. The audience was delighted with the informal humor.
Mr. Valenti will be a soloist of the Little Symphony orchestra at 8 p.m. today in Strong auditorium.
