Educators Plan County Needs For Colleges
A community college was recommended for the fictitious "Center" county by the seven groups of the Missouri Valley Adult Education conference March 25 and 28.
The group analyzed sociological data containing the needs and resources of "Center" county, which included a city of 14,000, a village of 18,800, and a hamlet of 79.
"A community college would furnish education facilities that would take up where high school left off." The college curriculum would be designed to educate the community along the lines where the community needed improvement," P. G. Stensland, professor in the Institute of Citizenship at Kansas State college, said.
Webster Rickoff, manager of University Extension in Kansas City, suggested industrial training, industrial human relations for better labor-management understanding, and professional re-education as subjects for urban adults. Vocational courses were suggested for rural adults. Parent-child relations including discussion groups on courtship and marriage, pre-marital counseling, and avocational courses such as the arts, crafts, languages, and current trends were subjects recommended for urban and rural adults.
Means of initiating an adult education program in counties was the next problem studied at the conference. A community council based on a plan now used in the Kansas City area was generally recommended by all the conference committees. Such a council would provide the citizens of each district with a permanent organ of consultation and action. It would strengthen an adult education program and direct public attention to its programs.
The county adult education program would be headed by an Adult Education council with the local superintendent of schools as its administrator, Prof. Stensland said. The curriculum of the various subjects would be advised by people in the community in that field who know well the subject under consideration.
"A survey should be constantly in process to determine the needs of the education program," he said.
Refined style and unusually sweet lyric soprano voice highlighted Milred Garrison's senior recital Sunday.
The group recommended courses and activities that would enlighten the adult in respect to citizenship. Such a program would be designed to create more interest in legislature, train officers for public service, and give a more thorough understanding of the laws.
The program was arranged according to the nationality of the composers Italian, German, French, Dutch, Belgian and American, and 18th century were included.
Plaintive, beautiful "Il Pleure dans mon Coeur" (Debussy) was sung with convincing sadness by Miss Garrison. The French group was the best suited to Miss Garrison's voice and interest to the audience.

The aria "Si mi chiamano Mimi" from "La Boheme" (Puccini) was one of the best selections on the program. Miss Garrison made the tragic figure of Mimi seem very real.

A Cappella Choir To Give Concert In Hoch Tonight
The A Cappella choir which began in 1923 as a church choir of 40 voices will present 107 voices in its annual concert at 8 p.m. tonight in Hoch auditorium.
D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, organized the choir 26 years ago. Members were chosen from the Presbyterian church choir—most of them University students. At that time the group was known as the Westminster choir, and sang at morning church services as well as campus functions.
As the choir became larger, the choir loft of the church was enlarged twice. In 1941 Dean Swarthout ceased directing the church choir and devoted his time to the A Cappella choir. This group had 70 members.
The A Cappella choir has a representative from almost every school in the University.
"It really is an all University choir," Dean Swarthout said. More than 100 persons are auditioned in the fall and only those with exceptional voices are chosen.
The choir has been heard and acclaimed by many famous artists who have visited the University. Thor Johnson, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra, said "I have never heard finer singing than that presented by the choir at the University of Kansas."
Roy Harris, one of America's best known contemporary composers, after hearing the choir carried his wife, Joanna Harris, famous artist that the choir was one of the best he had ever heard in his life.
The concert today will include:
"Students should know more about campus organizations than *set football and basketball. Many of these groups are bringing renown to the campus due to their excellence," said Dean Swarthout.
"Super Flumina Babylonia" (Palestrina); "In This Lovely Month" (Clement Jannequin); "She Is So Dear" (Michael Praeorius); "Shoot, False Love, I Care Not" (Thomas Morely); "Ave Maria" (Rachmani-noff); "The Nightingale" (Tschalkowsky); "The Lord's Prayer, Op. 107, No. 3" (Gretchaninoff); "O God, Hear My Prayer" (Gretchaninoff)
"Go, Lovely Rose" (Eric Thiman); "Let Down the Bars. O Death" (Samuel Barber); "The Turtle Dove" (arranged by R. Vaughn Williams); "How Beautiful This Night" (Percy Fletcher).
"Go 'Way from My Window" (arranged by John Jacob Niles); "Song of the Andes" (Nina Marcelli); "Deep River" (arranged by Roy Ringwald).
Student Soloists To Sing With Choir
Four students will sing solos in the University A Cappella choir's annual concert at 8 p.m. today in Hoch auditorium.
The choir of 107 voices will sing 15 numbers. The program will include works by composers of the 16th century, Russian compositions, folk songs and a Negro spiritual. D.M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, will direct the choir.
Solofists and their selections will be Colin Campbell, tenor, "The Nightingale" by Tschaikowsky; Harriet Harlow, soprano, "The Lord's Prayer" by Gretchnaninoff; Jerry Delicath, baritone, "The Turtle Dove" arranged by R.
