Governor Lauds Flood Cleanup By KU Students
Gov. Edward F. Arn has sent a letter to the Daily Kansan expressing his appreciation for the flood cleanup work done by the fraternities and sororites at the University.
The letter follows:
Permit me, as governor of Kansas, to express sincere appreciation and commendation to the fraternities and sororites of the University of Kansas for their fine voluntary work in helping to clean up and rehabilitate the flood stricken homes of North Lawrence.
Dear Editor:
It was a demonstration of the true spirit of helpfulness and Christian service which is one of the finest attributes of mankind. The reward will come in the realization of service rendered to those who suffered in a great calamity over which they had no control. So long as this spirit exists among our young people there need be no fear for the future of our country.
I am proud of the prompt response of the fraternities and sororities for a job well done, and a feeling shared by all the people of the state.
Sincerely,
Edward F. Arn
Governor

KU - K-State Movies
NoCreative Writing Formula Miss Bowen Tells Students
Movies of the KU-K State game will be shown in Fraser theater at 7 p.m. Wednesday, according to Arthur Lonorb, director of athletics.

"There is no formula for creative writing," Miss Elizabeth Bowen said in her lecture Monday in Strong auditorium.
"There is no key which sets the mechanism in process," she continued. "Each writer must make an individual approach, must keep the slowly immersing art of imagination in view."
She said the career of a successful writer is the continuance of experimentation—always advancing, trying out something and molding a future trait."
Absolute concentration is the one prerequisite for all writers. Everything in life "demands concentration, but writing has certain peculiarities that make it harder to attain," she said.
Miss Bowen explained that writing is an art in the imaginative sense and is never a purely intellectual occupation.
"A writer," she said, "must keep fantasy, imagination, day dreams, associations and things he remembers all the time. He must work with and out of the whole of himself."
The novelist stated that concentration cannot be obtained as a convulsive effort of will, but is inducted as sort of an imaginative and intellectual effort.
“Above all,” the novelist said, “writing is work. It is exacting and takes almost everything a writer has to do in order to bother. It holds no definite promise.”
Writing is partly craft and partly art. The technique is there to express the imaginative and creative art, she stated.
"All writers suddenly formulate what they consider the ideal circumstances under which to work," she said.
A book or short story begins with "idea and image." Miss Bowen said, "Something springs into life in the visual mind. That image is then broadened into the finished product."
Miss Bowen's lecture was entitled "The Writer At Work" instead of "The Novel on Both Sides of the Atlantic."

The University chorale opened its third season Monday night with a fine performance before a convention of cost accountants in the Union building.
They will perform before the School of Engineering faculty dinner at 6 p.m. today. The meeting is to be held in the Union building.
The group is under the direction of Dr. Wesley Siblebiel, instructor of music education.
The University chorale was started two years ago as a small ensemble of students who liked to sing "for fun." It reached a peak last year with 46 concerts throughout the state and on the campus.
The chorale will present a series of concerts in the Museum of Art, which will feature 16th century classical music. Tentative plans call for state tours during Thanksgiving vacation and between semesters, Mr. Krebbiel, said
Leo Horacek, instructor of music
education, will accompany the group on its tours and will play the trumpet on several chorale arrangements. He has been requested by popular demand to repeat his successful appearances with the chorale last year.
Members of the group include:
Soprano, Phyllis McFarland and Catherine Newman.
Alto, Polly Owen, Jeannine Neihart, Alberta James, Leah Ross and Joyce Friesen.
Tenor, Fred Terry, William Oldham, Don Carey and Richard Wright.
Bass, James Ralston, Herbert Skillman, Keith Riggs, Don George, Dale Moore and Maurice Casey.
Accompanist for the ensemble is Joanne Stokes, College junior.
