Arnold D. Graeffe To Give Humanities Lecture Tonight
Dr. Arnold D. Graeffe, associate professor of humanities at the University of Florida, will present the second Humanities lecture at 8 p.m. today in Fraser theater.
The lecture, entitled "Myth and Man," will be illustrated with slides and music. It will be the final talk here by Dr. Graefe, who met Monday and today with philosophy and language classes and with students interested in the humanities.
Dr. Graeffe was born in Belgium and received most of his education in Europe. At the Universities of Munich and Berlin, he studied art under Woolfflin and von Sydow and musicology under H. Mersmann, supplemented by graduate work at the Sorbonne.
He has traveled extensively in Europe and in 1936 did research in British West Africa. In 1937 he came to the United States and took courses in the art of the Far East at the University of Michigan.
He served on the faculty of Olivet college in Michigan until 1942. During that time he became an American citizen.
Dr. Graffea was head of the art department and professor of music at Doane college in Crete, Neb., from 1943 to 1945
Dr. Graeffe's interest in aesthetics has led him to an expert knowledge of plastic arts, music, and literature. He has written a number of works for chamber music and voice, and displays unusual abilities as a linguist in his reading of French and German literary selections.
Vets To Write In Contest
Patients in Veterans Administration hospitals will participate in the fifth annual nation-wide writing contest.
The writing contest, which is sponsored by the Hospitalized Veterans writing project, will be judged by 12 leading American writers and editors. Such writers as Ogden Nash, Ted Malone and Ellery Queen have been appointed judges.
Patients have until Sunday, April 15, to submit entries in any of the contest's divisions. Prizes include cash awards totaling more than $500, as well as autographed books, correspondence courses, and magazine subscriptions.
Two awards also are offered to hospitals. One will go to the hospital paper having the largest number of patients participating in its production. The other will be given to the hospital with the best creative writing program currently in operation.
Japanese Are Guests Of Legislative Council
Topeka (U.P.)—Six members of the Japanese Imperial Diet were guests at a dinner here last night in observance of the 18th anniversary of the Kansas legislative council.
The Japanese with their interpreter visited the Kansas legislature earlier to observe first hand the law-making process. They spent most of the afternoon in a senate session that was one of the most active of the present session.
Spanish Riots Are Quelled
Barcelona, Spain (U.P)—F o u r Spanish warships and a trainload of special police arrived here today to maintain order after at least three persons were killed and 100 arrested yesterday in Spain's worst outbreak of violence since the civil war 12 years ago.
This city of 1,125,000 population—Spain's second largest—appeared to be quiet as the alarmed government of Generalissimo Francisco Franco threatened stern action against rioters.
"The government has in its hands power to put down any kind of trouble-making and will apply the full weight of the law against those who try to break down peace and order."
Following an emergency cabinet session at Franco's home, interior minister Blas Perez Gonzales announced:
This statement was followed by arrival in Barcelona harbor of the cruiser Mendez Munze and the destroyers Escano, Gravina, and Liniers. Officials described the visit as a routine courtesy call.
A special train-load of police arrived from Madrid and special police agents from the Madrid political squad also were arriving by train and plane. They were trying to get at the root of yesterday's rioting, during which demonstrators set fire to curtains in the city hall, punctured tires and staged a general sit-down strike in offices and factories
The government claimed Communists were responsible for the outbreak. Informed neutral sources said there was no doubt, however, that high living costs prompted many to take part.
Israel Demands German Reparation
Tel Aviv, Israel—(U.P.)—Israel demanded $1,500,000,000 reparations from Germany today for "over 6,000,000 Jews who were done to death by torture, starvation, mass execution and asphyxiation" before and during World War II.
Clinton Noid, College sophomore, continues to improve at Watkins hospital, officials said today. He was admitted to the hospital Saturday suffering from pericarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart)
The demand was contained in identical notes served on Washington, London and Paris and handed to the Soviet legation in Tel Aviv.
K.U. Student Recovering From Heart Ailment
The note said the money would be used to "secure indemnification of the heirs and victims and rehabilitation of the survivors."
Shanon Fitzpatrick, fine arts sophomore, was transferred Sunday to Watkins hospital from a Kansas City hospital where she underwent an appendectomy March 6. Her condition is described as good.
Sororities Hear Dr. Orient Lee
Dr. Orient Lee, visiting professor of history, was guest speaker at a meeting of the Ivy Leaf pledge club of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority Monday night. Members of Delta Sigma Theta sorority were also invited to hear him speak on geographic, economic, and political conditions in China.
Emphasizing that neither American capitalism nor Russian communism is good for China, Dr. Lee said that China needs a type of industrialization different from that offered by either of these countries.
He said that capitalism would be inadequate because the Chinese people do not have the large sums of money needed for investment in private enterprise. Planned economy would also fail, he said, because all of the private property collectivized would not amount to very much.
What China does need, Dr. Lee said, is a state of peace in which rival nations do not hinder her contact with all nations. She might thus be able to secure loans from various countries to invest in Chinese industries. China has considerable deposits of coal, oil and other resources and an enormous labor supply, he explained.
Dr. Lee said that China needs good government, above all else. By good government, he explained, he meant that type of democratic government defined by Aristotle in which freedom of speech and expression prevails.
Deats Leads Discussions
The modern family is no longer closely knit because of the new emphasis upon entertainment found outside the family circle, Rev. Paul Deats, associate director of the Wesley foundation at the University of Texas, said in a discussion on "Love and Marriage" in the A.W.S. lounge Monday afternoon.
To meet this new trend Reverend Deats suggested that the "family should emphasize the value of doing things together, and they should pray together." He feels that for unity a family should have troubles together.
In discussing the "Functions of the Family in Time of Crisis," he said that a family today needs to discuss goals together, they need to face problems mutually, and they need a mutual interdependence.
Today Reverend Deats will lead the group in a continuation of the discussion on "Love and Marriage" at 3 p.m. in the A.W.S. lounge in Strong hall. Everyone is invited.
"The business of leisure time is the crux of the problem," he said.
General Ike Appoints Biddle To Staff Job
Paris—(U.P.)-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed Col. Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, Jr., Philadelphia diplomat, socialite, sportsman and soldier, as his deputy chief of staff today.
'Midsummer Night's Dream Is More Like A Nightmare
Silver Exhibits Being Shown
Handwrought silver, designed and executed by art teachers attending the fourth national Silversmithing Workshop conferences last summer, will be on display at the Museum of Art until Thursday.
The conferences were sponsored by Handy and Harman, refiners and fabricators of precious metals, as an educational program. Carlyle H. Smith, assistant professor of design, was one of 12 teachers selected by an art jury to attend the first workshop in 1947. He arranged for the exhibit at the University.
TV Allocation To Re-Start
The exhibit and summer workshops are part of a program to awaken interest in the use of silver as an art medium. Before the educational program was started four years ago, there were fewer than a dozen professional silversmiths left in the nation.
Washington (U.P.) — The Federal Communications Commission was reported today to be getting ready to allocate television channels again.
Allocation of channels to applicants was suspended Sept. 30, 1948 to give the F.C.C. a chance to revise its rules and decide how many new stations could be allowed.
At the time it was evident that signals were carrying farther than had been supposed and interference was reported between stations in different cities.
When the F.C.C. started working out its new system, the controversy over电视 television intervened and lengthy hearings were held.
The color controversy is now in the courts for a decision, and the F.C.C. was reported as having completed its work on an allocation plan for new channels.
Dr. Ferre Leads Discussion
On 'Science and Religion'
Several hundred applications are on file for channel allocations. The likelihood is that "ultra high frequency" channels first will be allocated. Present television stations now operate on "very high frequency" channels.
Dr. Nels F. S. Ferre, professor of philosophical theology at Vanderbilt university, spoke on "Science and Religion" at a faculty luncheon in the Pine room of the Union, Monday.
Dr. Ferre did not make a formal talk. He posed a series of questions such as "To what extent can science deal with the ultimate?" and "Is there a thing as science?" Dr. Ferre's object was to precipitate a faculty discussion of the problems he brought up.
Besides creating scenery and properties for Fraser theater alone, Professor Crafton has had to consider the needs of the road show tour which opens Tuesday, March 27, after the four-day local run. A variety of stage sizes and shapes are expected on the trip, and scenery must be adaptable to each one.
"According to the information which we have received." Professor Crafton said, "stage sizes will vary greatly."
Each piece of scenery must meet three requirements in addition to suiting the needs of the campus production. It must be easily transportable; it must fit a wide variety of stages, and it must conform to the dimensions of the van which will carry the show's equipment.
Professor Crafton said more than 1,200 square feet of scenery which can be hinged together will accompany the K.U. troupe.
The 14-foot "stage" trees can be adjusted according to the stage.
Another difficulty is that many of the stages to be used on the tour do not have "lofts" from which scenery backdrops can be lowered. As a result, the sets must be constructed entirely on painted partitions, which can be anchored to the floor.
The production, directed by Harold Harvey, instructor in speech and drama, will play in Fraser theater at 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Tickets will be sold from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. this week at the ticket office in Green hall basement. Students may obtain tickets by showing their activity cards.
Salina—(U.P.)—Jose G. Baldivieso, discharged as a Spanish professor by Kansas Wesleyan university last week, was under a temporary injunction today to stay away from the school.
Spanish Professor Barred From School
After he was fired for what school officials termed "unprofessional conduct," the Spanish teacher continued to hold classes in a corridor outside his former classroom.
District Judge A. R. Buzick yesterday granted the injunction against Baldivieso on a petition filed by the university.
The court action barred the teacher from "entering the campus or interfering in the college academic program."
Women's 'Gab-Fest To Be Tonight
A "gab-fest" for women only will be held for all University women by Presbyterian students at 8 p.m. tonight at Westminster house,1221 Oread street,Mrs.John Patton said today.
The women will meet with Dr. Frank Rearick, pastor of the Pressyterian church at Clay Center, to discuss specific problems facing women in the present crisis. The part that religion plays in solving these problems will be discussed. All University women are invited.
