KC Philharmonic To Appear Today
The Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra, under the direction of Hans Schweiger, will appear today in Hoch auditorium. The concert, fourth attraction on the University Concert course, will be at 8:20 p.m. Activity tickets will admit.
The 80-piece group is rated as one of the important orchestras in the United States, D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, said. Recently it appeared on the "Pioneers of Music" radio program which was broadcast over a national network.
This is Mr. Schweiger's second year as conductor of the orchestra. He came to Kansas City, Mo., from Terre Haute, Ind., where he had been director of the Terre Haute Symphony orchestra. Previous directors of the Kansas City orchestra have been Karl Kreuger, formerly of the Detroit Symphony orchestra, and Efrem Kurtz, now of the Dallas Symphony orchestra.
The program will be as follows:
"A Faust Overture" (Wagner),
("Symphony, No. 7 in A Major")
(Bethoven), "Pictures from an Exhibition" (Moussorgsky), and "Bolero" (Ravel).
Carolinians Miss White Corn Bread
For years residents have preferred white corn meal for their favorite southern bread. But now white meal is hard to find unless they pay extra for having it bleached.
Raleigh, N. C.—(U.P.)-North Carolinian's white corn bread is turning yellow.
That's the price of progress, says the North Carolina extension service. Farmers are switching to hybrid corn for higher yields. And the most popular strain has yellow grains.

Field Opens In Biophysics
A new course of study in the field of biophysics leading to a master of arts or master of sciences degree was announced today by Dr. J. H Nelson, dean of the Graduate school
The course will apply theories of physics to problems of biology, Dr. Nelson said. The University of Kansas is one of the first universities in the country to offer formal training in biophysics.
Dr. Frank E. Hoecker, associate professor of physics, started a research program three years ago with grants from the federal government. Principal problems in the course concern the effects of radiation on animal tissues.
Topeka Accident Fatal To Four
Police identified the dead as Leroy Eppinger, 27, of Manhattan, Edwin Sanderson, 26, of Norton, Lyle Shriber, 23, of Colby, and Helen Ross, 25, of Manhattan.
Topeka. Jan. 16 - (U.P.) - Four young persons, including two Kansas State college students, were dead today, victims of one of the worst traffic accidents in the history of the Kansas State capital city. A fifth person was hospitalized with a possible skull fracture.
Don Bridgewater, 24, of Norton was rushed to a hospital with a head injury. Bridgewater, Sanderson and Shriber all were enrolled at Kansas State.
Pat Bowers Wins Honors In Art And Track At KU
A "mean" man with a paint brush or on the cinder track is Patrick Henry "Pat" Bowers, fine arts senior.

Fresh from turning in a record half-mile at the Sugar Bowl invitational track meet on Jan. 1, the shy, brown-eyed athlete returned to finish painting the murals in the Jayhawk reading room of Watson library.
It's Final Time, But Rules Still Go
Donald K. Alderson, assistant dean of men, made the announcement. He said there would be no lifting of the existing parking rules.
All parking rules and regulations will be in effect during final examination week, the orientation period for new students, and during enrollment for the spring semester.
Alpha Chi Sigma To Buy House
Plans for the purchasing of a house to quarter 30 men were made Jan. 10 by Alpha Chi Sigma, professional chemistry fraternity.
Approximately 60 members attended the dinner meeting in the Kansas room of the Union.
Alpha Chi Sigma has approximately $3,500 set aside for the purchase of a house. Plans are now being formed for the raising of more money. One of the proposals which will probably be used by the group involves the members signing house notes in order to facilitate the purchase and payment for the building. As yet no complete plans for the raising of the needed money have been adopted.
The following officers were elected and sworn in at the meeting. Lane Harold, engineering junior was elected master alchemist. Vicemaster alchemist is Thomas Milne, College junior; recorder, James Hayward, engineering senior; reporter, Donald Coyle, College junior; master of ceremonies, Richard Calvert, education senior; alumni secretaries, Earl Abrahamson and Harold Hubbard, graduate students.
Athlanta—(U.P.)—Roy Turner, a 50-
year-old Negro, was fined $27 for
putting his wife on a red-hot stove.
Mrs. Turner said he held her there.
"I haven't been able to lie down since it happened," she told recorder A. W. Callaway.
He Wants To Be The Boss
Callaway said he couldn't find any ordinance against putting your wife on a hot stove, so he fined Turner for assault and battery.

The new 3,600-pound curtain in Hoch auditorium was raised Friday, Jan. 13 for the first time. Eleven electric motors raise and lower the 12 sections of the curtain independently to any desired position in 30 seconds.
The cost of the curtain, the cyclorama, motors, pulleys, control panel, and installation, was $32,000.
$ \textcircled{5} $ the murals, in the new west wing of the library, depict the school activities of the University. Painted in red, white, blue, and yellow colors, the five murals show Jayhawkers in the Schools of Pharmacy, Fine Arts, Medicine, Engineering and the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information.
Bowers was picked for the job after student's sketches were judged by an art committee. He first sketched the murals on the wall with chalk, outlined them in black, and then painted them in color.
Attending Lane School of Technology of Chicago, Ill., and Drake university, Des Moines, Iowa, before coming to the University two years ago, the 145 pound painter-sprinter has broken 12 track records in scholastic competition. His highest acclaim to date is the national A.A.U. 800-meter title which he won the past June. Three of his performances broke records set by a former University track star, Glenn Cunningham.
While at Lane Tech, Bowers won the Chicago 880-yard track championship in 1944. He also painted a mural for the biology department. The mural was a horizontal panel 20 feet by 4 feet, showing plants and animals.
One of five brothers, Bowers would like to teach art when he is graduated from the University. His younger brother also will major in art when he enrolls in college. His other brothers include a mechanical engineer, an artist, and one brother who is "just working."
Senior Gives Piano Recital
By FAYE WILKINSON
Debussy's "Estampes" is a series of three pieces including the familiar "Pagodas," "La Soiree in Granada," and "Gardens in the Rain." Goodnow did not seem to capture the impressionism necessary for these numbers.
The program included the Bach "Italian Concerto" which the pianist played in strict tempo, and Beethoven's "Sonata, Op. 10, No. 2" which was played with animation and boisterousness. Perhaps the sonata was the best work on the piano of the period, followed by the sympathetic reading of "Three Intermezzol" (Brahms). The intermezzol especially the first and the last, were melodic, expressive, and revealed good tone.
Vigorous touch and crisp, detached style were exhibited by Robert Kirk Goodnow, pianist, in the last senior recital of the semester Sunday.
Goodnow, a student of Paul Snyder, associate professor of piano, now lives in Lakewood, Colo. He is formerly from Kansas City, Mo., where he studied with Miss Ann St. John at the Conservatory of Music.
The officers are all on active duty with the navy. Their work at the University will prepare them for entrance into one of the two general-line schools of the navy in Newport, R.I., and Monterey, Cal.
Forty-seven naval officers from Kansas and adipining states will enroll in the University at the start of the spring semester to complete five semesters work.
Navy Men To Enroll For Spring Term
Specializing in mathematics, physics, basic electricity, and electronics, the officers are allowed to take any electives they wish to fill their hours. They will receive official correspondence and information from the N.R.O.T.C. unit at the University, but will wear civilian clothing and obtain their own housing.
