Fine Performance By Chorale Opens KU Concert Course
The Robert Shaw Chorale, under the dynamic leadership of its young conductor, Robert Shaw, gave a magnificent performance Monday to open the 1949-50 University Concert course.
By FAYE WILKINSON
As Mr. Shaw had predicted of his work, those who came to hear the Chorale expecting merely to be entertained were probably disappointed. The Chorale intends to re-create men's minds, to make them think. That is recreation for the audience Mr. Shaw believes.
The Chorale gave a rich, organ-like quality to "Motets for a Time of Penitence," composed by Poulenc in 1939. "Tenebrae Factae Sunt" was perhaps the most effective portion of this number, which contains many modern harmonic patterns.
The Bach cantata, "Christ Lag in Todesbanden," was forcefully and inspiringly done by the Chorale, accompanied by a 10-piece instrumental ensemble. The playing of the cellist throughout the cantata was outstanding.
The highly trained professional singers captured the impressionistic style of Debussy in his "Trois Chansons," the only choral music he wrote. They sang the Shubert art songs with characteristic lightness and spirit. Notable in these groups were the soloists, Esther Metz, soprano, and Beatrice Krebs, contralto.
Diction and shading in "Make a Song Without Black Notes" (Vecchi) and "The Echo Song" were flawless. The seldom-heard operatic choruses were especially enjoyed by the audience. In this group were "The Death of Boris" (Moussorgsky) with Peter Trump, baritone, and "Rataplan" (Verdi) with Florence Fogelson. soprano.
Lively, rhythmic folk-song sketches by Gail Kubik, an arranger for the Chorale, ended the program. Tenor soloist in one of the encores was Clayton Krehbiel, graduate student, a former member of the Robert Shaw Chorale.
'Cover Girl To Be Chosen
The 1550 K.U. Calendar staff will choose a "K.U. Calendar Girl" from photographs of women submitted to the editor, Frank Edward Obenland, 1645 Tennessee street, before 5 p.m. Saturday.
Each women's organized house may submit only one glossy print of a student in campus dress. Individual entries from independent women will be accepted. Judging will be on the basis of photographs only.
A Graduate Students' club, sponsored by the Young Women's and Young Men's Christian associations is being formed. Betty van der Snijden and Robert Dale Judy, graduate students, are working on the plans.
The new calendar, a desk copy, will contain cartoons by Paul Coker, fine arts junior, and photographs of the campus. The calendar will go on sale after Thanksgiving vacation.
Graduate Students Organize Club
The club would also be open to young instructors who are working on degrees while teaching. The group would meet for lunch or informal evening discussions.
Any graduate student may leave his name at the Y.W.C.A. or the Y.M.C.A. office by Friday night as a possible club member.

ISA Proposes New Ward System

Widow To Ask Court Hearing On Ellis Library
Mrs. Irene Ellis, widow of Ralph Ellis, plans to file a petition for a rehearing before the Kansas supreme court which ruled Oct. 8 that her late husband's library belongs to the University.
This was disclosed today by John W. Brand, Lawrence attorney for Mrs. Ellis. The 65,000 volume library is stored in Strong hall.
"Mrs. Ellis will ask for a rehearing court before the Kansas supreme court before Saturday," Mr. Brand said. "The petition is being printed in Topeka now, and as soon as it is out of the hands of the printers we will file it with the clerk."
If the request for a rehearing is granted, Mrs. Ellis will have an opportunity to present additional arguments and evidence for her case before the supreme court.
The Kansas supreme court ruled four votes to two, that the ornithological library belongs to the University of Kansas and the board of regents. The case had been appealed to the supreme court from the Douglas county courts.
The 27-year-old widow is acting through her attorneys in the case while she remains in Berkeley, Calif. The contested library is estimated to be worth between $100.-000 and $400.000. If a rehearing is denied Mrs. Ellis, directions for the distribution of the library to the University are expected to be given to the administrators of the estate immediately.
Play Groups Consolidate
The University Players voted at their meeting yesterday to join the Kansas University Light Opera Guild after receiving an invitation from Mu Phi Epsilon, Phi Mu Alpha and Sigma Alpha Iota, honorary musical fraternities which now comprise the guild organization. The Guild produces one light opera each year.
Loren Orr, president of the University Players, believes that the alliance will result in a wider field of theatrical experience for the combined group and thus a larger variety of presentations and more enjoyment for the student body.
Gerald M. Carney, assistant professor of music education, said "We felt the special talents and technical assistance of the University Players would be a definite asset and a stronger organization would result by having their experience."
Production such as Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado" and "Gondoliers" have been presented by the Light Opera Guild in the past.
