Band To Give Winter Concert At 8p.m. Tuesday
The University Concert band, under the direction of Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, will presents its annual concert at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 8, in Hoch auditorium.
Three education seniors will be featured as solistons on the program. They are Tommy Lovitt, cornet, Robert Ausherman, clarinet, and a vocalist, James Ralston, baritone.
Galston will sing three numbers from "Oklahoma" by Richard Rodgers, "Oh What a Beautiful Morning," "People Will Say We're in Love," and "Out of My Dreams." Lovitt will play Edwin Franko Goldman's Scherzo and Ausherman will be soloist in the first movement of von Weber's Concerto No. 2.
Identification cards will admit students, Mr. Wiley said. Other tickets will be available at 50 cents at the box office.
The concert will open with the ever-popular overture to "Die Fleddermaus" by Johann Strauss and will conclude with the rolling finale from Tschaikowsky's Symphony No. 4 in F Minor.
The 120-piece band will play five movements from the "Water Music Suite" by Handel, who conducted the suite for George I of England from a barge on the Thames river. The music was well-received at a University vespers program early this season.
Alexandre Guilmant's allegro vivace from "Organ Sonata in D Major" will be played by the band for the first time. Written for organ, the music has been newly arranged for concert band by Albert D. Schmutz.
State Minerals Shown On Map
"Kansas Mineral Resources," a six-color map prepared by the State Geological Survey at the University presents an up-to-date general picture of the state's minerals and their industrial applications.
The survey presents a close-up of "resource-full" Kansas and brings into focus a wide range of industrial minerals.
One of the top 10 mineral producing states, Kansas now produces more than $370,000,000 worth of raw materials annually. More than 100 plants currently are processing or preparing from native raw mineral substances first marketable products valued at about $630,000,000 annually. These plants are located on the map.
Oil and gas, the number one mineral industry, adds more than $300,000,000 yearly to the state's economy. Ceramics and cement, combined, represent a growing industry which at present is in the $25,000,000-a-year class.
Outcropping rocks and known industrial minerals in a 26 to 30 mile area in the heart of the Flint Hills also have been mapped for reference, study or wall display.
Chase county geology in published form consists mainly of three maps which present in color the stratigraphy, economic geology, and ground - water resources of the county.
The publication is the first in a series of similar eastern Kansas county reports being prepared by the State Geological Survey.
Two Students Hurt In Holiday Wrecks
Two students were injured in holiday accidents it was learned today. Previously it was believed there had been no holiday casualties.
Wanda June Denney, education senior, received a broken pelvic bone in an automobile accident Dec. 28. She is in the hospital at Liberal and is expected to return to the University next semester.
Joe Allen Compton, engineering junior, was injured Wednesday when the car in which he was riding struck the back of an automobile spinning on the slippery roads near Emporia.
Compton suffered facial bone fractures and cuts and bruises. Hospital authorities at Emporia report his condition as "fair."
Engineers Win $75 In Contest
Ronald Blomberg and Charles Steele, engineering seniors, won first prizes of $75 for their prefabricated housing plans in an architecture contest.
Awarding one first prize, as originally planned, would have been unfair to the two men, the judges stated. Consequently, the prize money for second place was given to the first class winners.
"The objective of the contest was to demonstrate the flexibility and wide variety possible in prefabricated housing units." Prof. George Beal, head of the department of architecture, said.
1nrd prize winners who received $25 each were engineering seniors James Amend, Richard Bills, Keith Cloepflil, William Hayward and Frank Walter.
Winners of the $10 awards were Earl Harper, John Hipp, Max Simpson, engineering seniors, and James Madolin, engineering junior.
Neal O. Reyburn, president of the Home Building corporation of Sedalia, Mo., which sponsored the contest, increased the third class prize money to include an additional award in that category which the judges felt necessary.
Judges for the contest were architectural professors J. M. Kellogg, Verner Smith, Alton Thomas and Mrs. Helen Beal, wife of Professor Beal.
WEATHER
Fair west, clearing east. Colder tonight except extreme northwest. Low 5-10 west, 10-15 east. High Saturday middle 30's.
Largest Rebate Declared By Bookstore
The Student Union Bookstore committee has declared a 15 per cent rebate on all cash sales made by the store in the six-month period July 1 - Dec. 31, 1951.
Cash sales receipts for the period—or for any time between Jan. 1, 1947 and Dec. 31, 1951—may be redeemed at the book store for cash at the 15 per cent rate, Woolley said. If the holder cannot come to the store, he may mail them and a check will be sent.
The rebate, which amounts to $21., 537.99, is the largest ever made for a six-month period, according to L. E. Woolley, Union director. It brings the total for the 1951 calendar year to $42,507.28.
For the past five years during which 15 per cent rebate has been in effect the total is $158,115.54.
Eight KU army ROTC cadets have been selected to receive appointments to the regular army in June, Col E. F. Kumpe, professor of military science announced today.

By JEANNE LAMBERT
men are supposed to swoon over movie stars according to tradition. It didn't happen that way last night, however, at the open house in the Union for Hollywood star Audie Murphy and actors John Hudson and James Best.
The three men who are in Kansas publicizing their latest movie, "The Cimarron Kid" found that they had last night more male than female admirers among KU students.
For half an hour the three stood in the center of the lounge and signed autographs on students' old hats, scraps of paper and assorted class notebooks.
L. E. Woolley, Union director, estimated that approximately 500 persons came in during the 30 minute period for a look at the Hollywood stars. No more than 50 persons surrounded the men at one time however and there was no pushing, shrieks or swooning.
KU women missed a good thing by not attending the open house in larger numbers. All three, even without padded shoulders, built up
shoes and nose flatteners, were better than average in looks.
Murphy, shortest of the three, was dressed in a light brown plaid suit. He has medium brown, wavy hair

and blue eyes and a quick, pleasant manner which sold him with the students.
Best and Hudson, many students commented, looked enough alike to be brothers. Both are about six feet in height with dark hair and blue eyes. They were dressed similarly in navy blue suits, white shirts and maroon ties.
All three talked freely with the students, answered questions about Kansas weather, Hollywood and Kansas women, and displayed no affectations commonly associated with the Hollywood clan.
At the conclusion of the open house the trio retrieved top coats which they had placed among those of the students at the check stand. Murphy's trench coat, one ROTC man remarked, must have been a relic from the earliest years of World War II and looked very un-Hollywood.
The three left in the best Hollywood tradition—in the midst of a snow storm riding in a high powered Cadillac and escorted by two cars of Highway patrolmen.
Faculty Recital To Be Given 8 p.m. Monday
The first concert of the new year at the University will be a faculty recital at 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 7. by Raymond Cerf, violinist, and Thomas Gorton, pianist.
The recital in Strong Auditorium will be open to the public without admission charge.
Professor Cerf, who is chairman of the string department, is a native of Belgium. He studied at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels where he won first prize in violin.
He later studied at the National Conservatory in Paris and then returned to the Royal Conservatory to graduate in 1920. For several years he played in Belgium chamber music groups and was a member of the famous Ysaeye orchestra of Brussels.
He made an around-the-world tour as concert master of the orchestra for Anna Pavlova, the great ballerina. He came to the United States and joined the faculty at the Oberlin Conservatory in 1927.
For a number of years before coming to Lawrence, Professor Cerf played in orchestras in Hollywood movie and radio studios.
Monday will mark the first appearance in Lawrence as a pianist of Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts. He has appeared as piano soloist with the St. Louis Symphony, the Houston Symphony, the Rochester Civic, and several other orchestras.
He has given concerts in many sections of the country and has been a member of various chamber music groups.
Upperclassmen To Give Recital
A new type of program will be presented by the School of Fine Arts at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 9, in Strong auditorium. This will be an honor recital given by advanced students of the school.
Those taking part in the program include Fred Palmer, violinist, Eugene Johnson, flutist, Phyllis McFarland, soprano, Lois Bradfield Palmer and Delores Wunsch, pianists. Accompanies will be Carolee Eberhart and Jerald Stone.
Participants were selected by vote of the faculty as-having given the outstanding performances in a series of informal student recitals during the Spring semester.
The public is invited to attend.
