Campanile Recital Set For Thursday Night
The second fall recital on the University's 53-bell World War II Memorial Campanile will be played at 8 p.m. Thursday, Dean Thomas Gorton of the School of Fine Arts announced Monday. Ronald M. Barnes, K.U. carillonneur, will be at the keyboard of the $78,000 instrument.
The program will include:
the program will include:
"Kolkkenhymne" (Van d en Broek);
"To a Wild Rose" (MacDowell); "To a Hymn by Mighty Masters is Our God"; "O Master let me walk with Thee"; "Holy, Holy Holy"; "Break Thou the Bread of Life"; "Notre-Dame Paraphase" (Clement); "Elegie" (Massenet); "Sketch for Carillon" (Barnes); "Sonata for Carillon" (Van Hoey); "Canzonetta for Carillon" (Van Hoof); and the University of Kansas alma mater; "Crimson And The Blue."
It has been suggested that all newcomers not congregate at the base of the carillon tower during a recital. Sitting a few hundred yards from the tower offers the best listening pleasure.
The carillon, housed near the top of the Memorial campanile directly behind Strong hall, was first played at the dedication recital May 27. The memorial is dedicated to the University men and women who served in World War II and especially to the 276 former University students that lost their lives there. Names of the 276 gold star veterans are inscribed on the walls of the Memorial room at the base of the tower.
Over 8,000 alumni, faculty, students, and friends of the University contributed to the memorial fund—a total of more than $343,000.
The building of the campanile tower cost approximately $175,000 with the balance going into the carillon, landscaping, and building of the Memorial drive around the campus. The drive, starting at Sunflower路 behind the Union building, winds past the base of the campanile and extends to West Campus road. It will eventually extend along the south slope of Mt. Oread.
Four students, Haywood H. Davis, Stanford E. Lehmberg, Virginia L. Thomson, Rosemary Scheuerman, and four faculty members meet Tuesday as a committee to set up a permanent schedule for the playing of the carillon this semester.
The faculty committee members are Dean Thomas Gorton, chairman; Ronald M. Barnes, carillonneur; Donald M. Swarthout, professor of piano; and Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association.
The committee will also take requests for and pass upon the playing of the carillon for groups for special occasions. Persons interested in such a playing may contact Dean Gorton, 128 Strong hall.
"The committee is also interested in getting the reactions of the students and faculty members as to when they would like to hear the carillon and what numbers they desire," Dean Gorton said. "Those with request may reach me by letter or stop in at my office."
Dean Gorton added that the University is offering three new courses in the playing of the carillon. "Very few schools in the country have the facilities to offer such courses," he said. The courses will be taught by Ronald Barnes, carilloneur.
SHE GOT HELP
Huntington, Ind. (U.P.) — A lone waitress was startled when 33 young people, all members of a Sunday school class enroute to their home town in Nebraska, came into the restaurant and began ordering breakfast. She was soon relieved, however, when several of the girls in the group offered to help her serve.
