EILEEN FARRELL
Eileen Farrell Opens Concert Course Monday
"Eileen Farrell Presents," a half-hour of song with the CBS symphony, thrilled millions of listeners for five years. The program was short-waved to Europe, South America and the Far East. She is heard frequently on top musical programs.
Now at "the top of the ladder." Miss Farrell is scarcely to be equalled in emotion, richness, perfection and versatility, according to audiences and critics wherever she appears.
Recently Miss Farrell has been introduced to television audiences in guest appearances with Fred Allen and Milton Berle.
The first attraction of the 1951-52 Concert Course will be presented at 8:20 p.m. Monday when Eileen Farrell, celebrated soprano, will appear in Hoch auditorium.
Dean Thomas Gorton of the School of Fine Arts said that students will be admitted free upon presentation of I-D cards. Special season rates have been made available to the faculty.
In addition to her appearances in New York, Miss Farrell toured extensively in recital and sang with 11 leading symphony orchestras throughout the United States and Canada last year.
In initiating the Concert Course season, Miss Farrell will bring with her an outstanding record seldom equalled by a performer here.
A weather-weary Minneapolis resident commented bitterly that "in Minnesota, summer's on Wednesday. It was on Tuesday last year."
The 1950-51 music season will go down in musical history as the year when, quoting the Review of Permanent Music, "Farrell comes into her own as a thrilling great dramatic soprano."
One leading music critic recently said she sings "in the way great singers used to do but almost never do any more".
During the past season she sang the astonishing total of 61 solo performances in five engagements with the New York Philharmonic-Symphony. This is more performances than any artist had made in the 109 previous years of the great orchestra.
Finish Work At Stadium
A vehicle drive, pedestrian walk, and steps at the north end of Memorial stadium, have recently been completed.
J. J. Wilson, University business manager, explained that the cost of construction was divided between the University and the athletic department. The University provided the steps and trafficway.
The $19,000 project consists of a hard-surface 10 foot strip for walking, a 12 foot strip for heavy vehicle traffic, and cement steps to eliminate the steep incline at the north end of the stadium.
The actual construction was completed before the Iowa-State game, but landscaping was not finished. Mr. Wilson expects this part of the project to be completed in time for the Utah game Saturday.

Dams Could Cut Flood Damage Engineer Says
Disastrous floods along the Kansa river could have been reduced if recommended reservoirs had been built, Col. L. J. Lincoln, chief of the Kansas City district of Army Engineers said Tuesday evening,
Speaking at a meeting of the Lawrence and K.U. sections of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Col. Lincoln told the group that much of the flood water originated upstream from the proposed reservoirs and not entirely downstream.
He pointed out the vital part played by the Kanopolis and Cedar Bluff reservoirs on the Smoky Hill producing the effects of the 1851 flood.
"The top of the flood must be held back and released under control as conditions permit," Col. Lincoln said. "There is no other way to achieve flood control."
