Chabay To Open Chamber Music Series Sunday
Leslie Chabay, Metropolitan opera tenor, will open the Chamber Music series at 4 p.m. Sunday with an all-German lieder program.
Germinal neder-program Tickets may be obtained in the fine arts office for this and succeeding series presentations.
Chabay first came to the U.S. with the Salzburg Opera guild in 1936. Returning to Switzerland, he became a permanent member of the Berne and Zurich operas. His brief visit to the U.S. created for him a desire to return and become a citizen.
This hope became a reality in 1945 when he joined the San Francisco and Metropolitan operas.
Since then Chabay's activities have included guest appearances at the Mexico Opera National, the Central City festival in Colorado, the Aspen, Colo. festival, the Carnegie Hall Pops series, as well as many appearances in concert and with civic groups.
The most notable of his radio app- pearancees came when Arturo Tos-canini personally selected Chabay to appear on the NBC nationwide broadcast of Verdi's "Othello."
The warm, communicative beauty of Chabay's singing has provided some of the most inspired and delightful music-making of the Aspen festival. His failless sense of style ranged the entire gamut of local literature, from Heinrich Schuetz to the Bartok settings of Chabay's native Hungarian folk-songs.
One critic spoke of "such exquisite singing of Schubert that the audience was hushed for moments after he had finished each song."
The Chamber Music series, held in the intimate atmosphere of Strong auditorium which seats only 400, will present later in the season the Paganini quartet, Rosalyn Tureck, pianist, and two concerts by the Albeneri trio.
The University A Cappella choir will hold its annual fall get-together today at "Valley View," home of D. M. Swarthout, director.
A Cappello Choir Party Tonight At Swarthout Home
Members of the 103-voice choir will meet at Lindley hall at 4 p.m., then proceed in a group to the Swarthout home, where they will take part in outdoor games if the weather permits.

Panhellenic council will do flood relief work in North Lawrence instead of having homecoming decorations.
The action came after the Interfraternity council spent a Saturday working to repair flood damaged buildings.
Vote To Work In Flood Area
The members of Panhellenic will wash woodwork and windows and help clean up the inside of some of the houses.
The houses of flood victims who can not do the work themselves will be chosen from the Red Cross files. The sororites will be divided into pairs and each will be given four to six houses to work on. The number will depend on the work that needs to be done.
Virginia Thompson, president, said that since there is not a Saturday when everyone will be free to work each group will do their work when they can. The project is to be finished by Thanksgiving.
The council also decided to resume exchange dinners between sororites.
Shirley Reams, College senior, was appointed scholarship chairman.
Pep Rally Thursday For Oklahoma Game
The KuKu club, in co-operation with the cheerleaders, will sponsor a pep rally at 10:50 a.m. Thursday in front of Strong hall.
Jerry Robertson, ace quarterback from Dallas, Texas, will give a short pep talk.
In modern times the awakening of China has not come through military reprisals, but through the humane and religious statesmanship of Sun Yat Sen, he said. India's gift to modern Asia is the life and work of Gandhi, who has brought about a great awakening among Asian masses.
True Renaissance Motivated By Religion, Students Told
--mane and religious statesmanship of Sun Yat Sen, he said. India's gift to modern Asia is the life and work of Gandhi, who has brought about a great awakening among Asian masses.
The true Asian renaissance came in early times through the illumination of lord Buddha's message in India and through the impact of Confucius and Lao Tze of China, he explained.
Culture and civilization today are often described in terms of "false halos" which dictators or strategists acquire for themselves or for their countries by ruthless nationalism, he said. But the great cathedral cities of Europe, renaissance painting, and early music were the fruit and flower of deeper movements of the spirit, he added.
All true renaissance movements, whether in Asia or the West, have been rooted in religion, Dr. Amiya Chakravarty said in his "Upsurge in Asia" lecture Tuesday night.
In Asia as in the rest of the world, conquerors have brought only temporary attainments, Dr. Chakravarthy said.
Dr. Chakravarty said that there may be a renaissance in modern times of the peoples' spirit both in Asia and Europe, because of a return to the roots of human faith. This renaissance, made more real by a closer association of nations, would be a world-wide event.
In the question period Dr. Chakra-varty said that there has never been serious strife between the Buddhist and Christian religions, The essential reason for this is that both religions are based on love for fellow man, he said.
Set Chest Quota At $2,500; Committee Is Optimistic
The quota for the 1951 University Campus Chest has been set at $2500.
In establishing the budget for the campaign Tuesday afternoon, members of the chest committee expressed belief that the goal "can be reached through vigorous efforts."
During the meeting Henry Shenk, one of the five faculty advisors, said, "I think we should try to double the amount set."
Much of the committee's optimism came as a result of Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy's letter Monday
Patricia Glover, education senior, will lead a discussion on what students want from their Student Union at the meeting of the Campus Affairs committee today.

"We want to extend an invitation to all students and faculty members interested in the discussion of campus affairs to attend the meetings of the committee," said Dean Laurence C. Woodruff, chairman. The meeting will be held in 222 Strong hall from 7:15 to 9 p.m.

which approved the All Student Council's plan calling for power to refuse solicitation by organizations outside the Campus Chest.
This plan, members said, will eventually strengthen the purpose of the chest. With good enforcement of the ruling, the chest should gain strength since succeeding year, Loy Kirkpatrick, 1951 chairman, stated.
The committee approved a motion to narrow the collection period to four days, Nov. 6-9. Tuesday through Friday, with personal contacts to be made during the preceding week.
Kay Roberts, College sophomore, was appointed chairman of the personal contact committee which will send speakers to all organized houses and to other campus groups.
Most of the speakers will come from the Forensic league, she said.
In the approved budget, the six member agencies of the 1951 chest will receive contributions according to percentages of the total amount collected.
The approved percentages are:
The approved percentages are:
World Student Service fund, 27,
Lawrence Community Chest, 27,
YMCA, 14, CARE, 8, American
Heart association, 2, and American
Cancer fund, 2.
Twenty per cent of the total amount will be held in reserve according to the student constitution, which calls for 10 per cent to be set aside for a permanent emergency fund and as much as 10 per cent for campaign expenses.
from the permanent fund the ASC may vote money to other worthwhile causes that arise during the year. Money remaining from the other 10 per cent after campaign costs are deducted will be returned to the general chest fund.
TV Statement Filed To Back Up KU Claim
The University today filed a 36-page sworn statement with the federal communications commission in Washington, D.C.
The statement, in booklet form, is K.U.'s case in support of the FCC's action in reserving TV channel 11 for non-commercial educational use at Lawrence.
The University further held that its use of time on commercial stations for which it is not the licensee would not permit the development
K. U. contends that the ultra high frequency channel 64, which the Kansas City stations suggest be given to Lawrence for educational use, is not desirable as a substitute for the VHF channel already assigned, since few sets are equipped for VHF.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said that the Kansas state board of regents has authorized K.U. to apply for a license.
That allocation by the commission has been attacked by the owners of radio stations KMBC, KCMO and WHB in Kansas City, Mo. They have suggested VHF (very high frequency) channel No. 11 be reassigned for commercial use in Kansas City, Mo.
of the comprehensive educational service which KU, plans to give and which it believes the needs of the area justify.
An exhibit in the statement is the story of how K.U. was the first school in the nation to install closed circuit television for daily use in instruction. This was done two years ago at the K.U. Medical center in Kansas City.
In a section titled "Tomorrow and TV," the University shows what it is doing to enlarge its radio services.
The statement further suggests, with the aid of illustrations, the many kinds of TV programs possible, utilizing the unique resources of K.U. These include the dozens of teaching departments in the 10 schools and University Extension, the extensive research facilities, the great museums and the several service bureaus.
Unique Music Library Opens Today
A new Music Library at the University which makes it possible for 36 persons to hear different concerts at the same time will be officially opened today, Dean Thomas Gorton of the school of fine arts announced.
The new library located in Strong hall Annex F, Room 1, will be open for public inspection from 3 to 5 p.m. today. William Sears, K.U. graduate student, who designed the audio system, will demonstrate the record-playing equipment.
"The new library is a different approach in providing music listening as compared to the expensive sound-proof listening booths," Dean Gorton said.
Each of the 12 private turntables is connected with three headsets. There are no amplifiers. Each turntable has three regulation speeds.
The effect of the new system is that of unlocking the library's 5,000 recordings to anyone's listening pleasure.
Although the library is to be used for students in such courses as History of Music, Music Literature, and Music Appreciation, the Library is open to any student or faculty member.
AT WORK IN THE NEW music library in Strong hall Annex F, room 1, is Dr. Milton Steinhardt, chairman of the K.U. history of music and literature department, with a class of music students. Open house will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. today, the day of the official opening of the library. This new system of providing headsets for listening does away with the expensive sound-proof listening booths.
