KU Is One Of Few Offering Advanced Music Therapy
By VERNON SUTTON
The University of Kansas is one of the few schools in the country offering graduate work in music therapy.
Dr. E. Thayer Gaston, chairman of the department of music education, said functional music, as music in therapy is sometimes called, can be defined as music used for other than purely aesthetic purposes. The aesthetic is by no means abandoned in functional music, but becomes the means and not the end, he said.
Sixteen students are taking the prerequisites necessary before writing their theses and four persons are doing research for their theses on music therapy.
The requirement of a carefully planned and controlled master's research thesis in functional music at the University is part of a larger pattern for stimulating and carrying out research projects.
Many of the research projects are done at the University where a psychology of music laboratory has been used.
Other studies are done at Winter Veteran's hospital in Topeka and research in music therapy is beginning at Topeka State hospital. Dr. Gaston is a consultant in the field of functional music at both of these hospitals.
A recently approved six-year graduate degree, and a doctor of philosophy degree with a major in music education, make related research possible at the doctoral level. Several such studies in functional music at this level are now in progress. The two main approaches to music therapy study are the clinical and the experimental methods.
"The very nature of the clinical method largely removes it from use
by our students," Dr. Gaston said. "There remains, then, the experimental method for our students."
"Hundreds of experiments need to be done by students under competent supervision. The students must be well grounded in the sciences as well as in music." Dr. Gaston said.
Music, even more than the spoken word, functions as a therapeutic agent because it meets with little or no intellectual resistance and does not need to appeal to logic to initiate action. It is more subtle and therefore its appeal is wider and greater with deeper penetration, Dr. Gaston said.
"Music therapy needs wide student participation in the scientific method because it will bring new ideas, and the periods of greatest advance in science have always come from new experimental methods."
Most animals respond to sound as emotional expression. To man, much sound has intellectual and symbolical connotations, yet he is stirred deeply because music is probably the only ordered system of sound to which man responds emotionally rather than intellectually in the truest sense.

Dean Tells Group To Use KU Service
Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, told the Negro Students association March 1 that too many students were unsuccessful in their academic work because they fail to take advantage of the many University services for students.
"What happens to you outside the classroom is just as important as what happens to you inside of it," she explained. Stressing the need for better all around adjustment, she said that students who are interested enough to seek solutions to their personal problems are more successful in the classroom and later in life. The University maintains so many various services that there is no reason why a student should let a problem go unsolved.
Services she talked about were: The Guidance bureau, University health service, Marriage counseling bureau, Psychiatric service, the Reading clinic, Offices of the deans of men and women, the Library, and Student organizations.
Instructor Files For City Office
