60,000 Take KU Courses By Mail
Uncle Sam's mail men have been the cogs for the wheels that have turned out University of Kansas instruction for 60,000 students.
That many course enrollments were processed for K.U. correspondence study students in the four decades after 1909. This information is found in a 36-page research paper "Forty Years of Correspondence Study at the University of Kansas, 1909-1949." The author is Dr. Frank T. Stockton, dean of University Extension.
Those thousands of K.U. postal alumni took courses for university credit, high school credit and in numerous non-credit subjects. By subject matter English has led in enrollments over most of the four decades. Other departments with substantial enrollments have been education, economics, mathematics and romance languages.
In 1949 correspondence study courses were offered by 22 K.U. teaching departments. In the two years since the study break-off point this number has increased to 25, Dean Stockton said today.
K. U. was among the correspondence study pioneers. Only three other universities, Chicago, Wisconsin and Oregon, offered such work before Kansas.
Dean Stockton noted several special correspondence study projects. From 1909 to 1911 refreshers courses in basic sciences were offered to the medical profession. From 1913 to 1925 the school of engineering and
architecture had an extensive vocational program for industrial workers. Series of correspondence courses were set up for pharmacists, lawyers and retail merchants.
During World War II when many schools were unable to fill their faculties, many high school students completed K.U. correspondence courses in supervised study periods in their own schools.
The report reviews the evolution of university regulations pertaining to correspondence study procedures, fees, special services and faculty arrangements. It shows also how the courses available and the policies followed have been adapted to changing economic conditions and educational interests.
Believes US Has Best Orchestras
Vienna—(U.P.)-The best orchestras are in the United States, according to H. Arthur Brown, conductor of the Tulsa, Okla. Philharmonic.
Brown, here recently to make recordings with the Austrian Tone Cunstler orchestra, said Americans are more music conscious than Europeans, and music criticism in the United States is of such a high standard that the gap will continue to widen.
The musician, who formerly directed the El Paso symphony as well as his Tulsa orchestra, rated the world's orchestras with the New York Philharmonic first, followed by the Boston, Philadelphia and National Broadcasting company symphonies in any order you prefer.
There probably isn't a single first-rate orchestra in all France, Brown said. He was especially critical of the European system of state subsidy for symphonies and operas.
The people here do not have the
sense of participation in music that Americans have, he said, and consequently they don't make as critical audiences as the Americans. To operate an orchestra in the United States, almost everyone must contribute. Consequently they want to get their money's worth, and their criticism keeps the musicians and conductors on their toes.
Brown said he made records in Europe only because smaller companies in the United States could not afford to pay U.S. music union stand-by charges.
Local Motion Picture Makers Are Really Jayhawk Fans
Comparing availability of fine music in the United States and in Europe, Brown said there were more than 2,000 American towns which have concert seasons and 1,600 which schedule classical music programs. Some of these are just pick-up orchestras, he said, but they bring the classics to the people.

In Europe there are good orchestras in the big cities and no other
the "Jayhawker corporation" might be a fitting name for rence motion picture concern.
Arthur Wolf and Russell Mosser, who founded the corporation in 1947, boast a payroll of 100 per cent collegeans.
There's a sprinkling of former Kansas Staters in the firm, too, but "we treat everybody alike here," one of the employees laughed.
Mrs. Richard Ehrman, a secretary, is a business senior at the University and Mrs. Neill Humfeld, '50, is a secretary.
Mr. Wolf is of the K.U. class of '39, while Mr. Mosser graduated with the class of '40 and took graduate work in 1944. The original home of both was Topeka.
Former K-Staters include Charles Lacey and Norman Stuewe. Mr. Lacey, a director-writer, was graduated in 1947 and formerly taught in the electrical engineering department at Kansas State.
Zoological Report Lists New Animals
Mr Stuew, director of photography, attended Kansas State in 1941 and '42.
George H. Lowery, Jr., and Walter W. Dalquest, former graduate students now on the Louisiana State university staff, are authors of the report.
The Centron corporation makes 16 mm. motion pictures of four types: the "Young America," elementary educational picture series, various public relations pictures for organizations and colleges, television commercial films, and combination sports shows.
Dalquest did most of the field work in Mexico, which was designed to fill a gap in K.U.'s zoological coverage of North America. Mammals and reptiles were also collected.
Discovery of a striped owl new to science, and classification of 312 kinds of birds found in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, were reported today in a booklet released by the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History.
"Art and I learned the business in school where we worked at the bureau of visual instruction," said Mr. Mosser.
"Later Art and I were separated but we both wanted to live in Lawrence," Mr. Mosser said. "One day when we were both back home we shot a picture on sewing technique in Art's living room."
"We sold it to a film company in the East and they wanted us to make them a whole series on sewing. We've been in business making movies ever since. However, we didn't incorporate at Centron until June, 1947."
Homecoming as usual is the plan at Kansas State where students are framing activities for the homecoming week-end, October 18-21.
Since that time Mosser-Wolf photographic store was added to the business interests of the pair.
Homecoming committee members have announced to alumni, former students and friends of the college that slate of activities may be expected.
K-State Plans Homecoming
Students and townpeople pointed out that Manhattan, one of the towns hardest hit by the summer floods, has now recovered and talk of omitting decorations has ended.
This action is in contrast with homecoming plans at the University where most house decorations will be omitted this year. Fraternities have contributed decoration expense money to flood relief and Oct. 6 spent the day working on flood damaged houses in North Lawrence.
