Famed Albeneri Trio Makes Appearance Here Monday
The Albeneri trio, including Erich Itor Kahn, pianist; Giorgio Ciompi, violinist, and Benar Heifetz, cellist, will give a recital at 8 p.m. Monday in Strong auditorium.
This is the trio's sixth season. The recital is open to the public without charge and is on the Chamber Music series.

Mr. Kahn was awarded the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge medal for "eminent services to chamber music" in 1948.
Mr. Ciompi, born in Florence, Italy, was the first Italian violinist in many years to win the first prize at the Paris conservatory. In his debut in this country at 20, he appeared at New York's Town hall and Boston's Jordan hall.
This climaxed a career which began when he was eleven. Mr. Clompi did further work with Georges Eneso. He became a permanent resident here in 1947.
A solo appearance at 12 launched Mr. Heifetz on his career as a cellist. Born in Russia, Mr. Heifetz studied at the St. Petersburg conservatory and at Professor Julius Klengel's master school in Leipzig, Germany.
Until 1926 he toured Russia and central Europe. He then joined the Kolisch quartet in Vienna and concertized throughout the world. He became a resident of the United States in 1937.

The interviewing of 200 residents of North Lawrence involved in the 1951 flood disaster began March 21, and will continue approximately four weeks. R. Paul Brotsman, assistant professor of social work, announced today.
Flood Victims To Be Interviewed
The interviewing is a part of a study of how groups and individuals met the disaster. The study is being made by the departments of social work, sociology, and human relations.
"We have found response very good," Professor Brotsman, research director of the project, said. "Peo- tor们 are willing to tell their experiences."
A team of eight research assistants, composed of graduate students and citizens, work in communities where previous experience, interview the residents.
The project also includes interviews of city officials and 20-30 public and private agencies active in helping the people meet the disaster and in rehabilitation. These interviews are conducted by faculty members of the three departments.
"The main purpose of the project is to find out the response of a community to disaster and to study the situation and the steps taken in rehabilitation," Professor Brotsman said.
In terms of civil defense plan it is important to know how to get a region back on its feet, he said.
The study of what is needed for readjustment of the people from such a disaster would also be helpful to such agencies as the Red Cross who face situations of this kind year in and year out, he explained.

People are asked questions about what they did, how soon they re-
Results of the project will be published when it is completed, Professor Brotsman said.
The project grew out of the interest of several members of the three departments who worked as volunteers with the Red Cross during the flood this summer.

Members of the advisory committee which has planned out the program are Joseph F. Meisels, assistant professor of social work; Professor Brotsman, E. J. Baur and Marston McCluggage, associate professors of sociology; Charles Warriner, instructor in sociology, and Hilden Gibson, professor of political science and human relations.
Pottery Exhibit In Engineer Show
The development of pottery from raw clay to the finished product will be displayed by the State Geological survey at the 32nd annual Engineering Exposition to be held Friday and Saturday, April 4 and 5.
Samples of all the elements that make a glazed pottery piece and ex-
The basement library of tested clay samples taken from areas throughout the state also will be open for public inspection.
smanipulate pottery piece and examples of the finished ware will be on exhibit in the various laboratories of the survey.
In addition, all kilns and other equipment in the ceramics department will be labeled, including the high-firing electric kiln now in use. It is one of the few kilns that reaches 2900 degrees Farenheit, adapting itself to many uses.
Lindley hall, home of the State Geological survey, will have on exhibit a series of maps and window displays illustrating various aspects of geology and industrial minerals.
Schmidt Chosen As Oratorio Soloist
Reinhold Schmidt, professor of voice, will be baritone soloist with the Chicago Symphony orchestra and University of Chicago choir in Bach's "Saint Matthew's Passion," on Palm Sunday April 6.
Electron Microscope Can Magnify Diameter Of Human Hair To 14 Feet
He will return from Chicago Monday morning meeting his classes until Good Friday. He will then go back to Chicago as soloist in Heinrich Schuetz's "Seven Last Words."
Before joining the University faculty in 1949 Professor Schmidt had been one of the leading oratorio solists in the Chicago area. He has continued to fill occasional engagement being as soloist with the University of Illinois chorus and symphony in "The Messiah."
An electron microscope 30 to 40 times more powerful than ordinary microscopes has arrived at the University.
A North American Philips model, it can magnify to visible proportions a tiny particle several thousand times thinner than a human hair.
The microscope is capable of magnifying to as many as 60,000 diameters. This magnification, if applied to the diameter of a human hair, would make it about 14 feet wide.
sas City, will be available to the University staff and will afford all scientific workers the latest facilities in electron microscopy."
of the powerful instrument is produced by five lenses formed by magnetic fields. All of the lenses, plus the specimen, are kept in high vacuum because the electrons will not penetrate air.
The microscope will be installed in Lindley hall and its operation will be under the jurisdiction of Dr. J. O. Maloney, executive director of the Research foundation.
An immediate user of the instrument will be Miss Ada Swineford, geologist in charge of the petrographic laboratory of the State Geological survey, who is conducting studies on Kansas clays. The microscope will aid in determining clays suitable for use as building brick and tile.
