Observer Goes To Music Meet
The University has been selected as one of the 12 schools in the nation to send an observer to the sixth annual Symposium of Contemporary Music in New York the week of March 23.
Dean Thomas Gorton of the School of Fine Arts said this is a very distinctive honor that has come to KU in recognition of the work being done here in creative music. Laurel Everette Anderson, professor of organ and theory, will be the school's delegate to the symposium, Dean Gorton said.
A visit to KU in 1951 by Virgil Thomson, music critic of the New York Herald Tribune, is believed to be partly responsible for the invitation. Mr. Thomson wrote that he was particularly impressed with the work of students studying under Professor Anderson. He said he had not encountered composition of such "maturity and sophistication" in any other school.
The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation of Music Students. This year it will be held at the Juilliard School of Music, one of the six member institutions.
The week's program will consist mainly of performances of the best music composed by students of member schools. The performance will be supplemented by discussions and lectures.
"Several of the student works in large form seem equal in every way to the best professional work of young composers heard in Tanglewood, at-the-Composers' forum and in the downtown New York concerts," he said.

The publications board, a committee sponsored by the All Student council, is made up of five students and three faculty members. Bill Stinson, engineering senior and chairman, said the board voted unanimously on all selections.
The K-Book and Date book staff will do most of its work this summer and have the publications ready in the fall. The Student directory staff will begin its work when the new semester begins.

Water Well Drillers To Meet Saturday
Open Tonite 'Til 9:00
A discussion of the National Production authority's regulation on steel and copper will be the main business of the Kansas Water Well Drillers association at their annual meeting in Lindley hall Saturday.
Hosts will be the Federal and State Geological surveys at the University. Dr. John C. Frye, executive director of the survey, will be one of the principal speakers.
To Speak At Speech Seminar
The five-year-old association is organized for the purpose of improving the status of the state's water-well drillers. "The well drilling activities of more than 300 of these men in almost all Kansas counties have a direct effect on the many Kansans depending on below-surface water for their water supplies," Dr. J. M. Jewett, acting secretary of the group, explained.
Kenneth Anderson, associate professor of education, will be the speaker at the speech therapy seminar at 4 p.m. Thursday in the speech clinic annex. Mr. Anderson will discuss research in special education.

Birmingham, Ala.—(U.P.)-In the nursery rhyme, Mary had a little lamb. In real life, Don Teague has a little pigeon.
Don thought he came to a friendless town when he moved here from Arlington, Va., but a pigeon which he named Butch decided the youngster should not be lonely. Shortly after Don arrived here he was riding on his motor scooter when he noticed a pigeon winging above him.
Pigeon Follows Like Mary's Little Lamb
The pigeon soon followed Don everywhere he went, like Mary's lamb.
