STUDENT NEWS PAPER
YMCA Opens European Seed Drive Today
The Y.M.C.A. sponsored "Seeds for Europe" campaign opened today. The drive will provide seeds for distribution to several orphanages and grade schools in Europe.
Collection jars are in Brick's cafe, Rock Chalk cafe, Cottage cafe, Kyhawker cafe, and in Union cafeterias. Money collected from these jars will be used to send seed packets to schools recommended by persons from European countries, Dale W. Fields, College sophomore and chairman of the campaign, said today.
"This plan will utilize the facilities of the Co-operative for American Remittances to Europe, which has the seeds stockpiled in foreign countries," Fields said. "C.A.R.E. is a non-profit and government approved organization which has handled thousands of food and clothing packages for needy Euroeans."
Letters to 95 organized houses and student groups have been sent out asking for financial assistance in the campaign. The seed packets cost $4 and delivery is guaranteed to all nations but the British isles.
Schools in Orleans and Confolents, France will receive seed packets. The vegetables grown will supplement the diets of the children. Each vegetable seed assortment contains enough seeds to grow a garden that will support a family of eight for the summer if moderate success is achieved.
"The seeds are labeled in 14 languages and instructions for planting are given. Each package is prepared for the climatic region to which it is sent." Fields said. Packages of seeds may be sent to any person in continental Europe. If no designation is made the seeds will be sent to orphanages and schools.
"All orders must be sent to the national office of C.A.R.E. by April 10 so we are asking students to contribute now to the campaign to help Europeans feed themselves. Contributions may be presented to the Y.M.C.A. office." Fields said.
The Cincinnati Symphony orchestra will play two concerts tomorrow in Hoch auditorium. An afternoon concert for school children will begin at 2:30 p.m. and an evening concert for University students at 8:20.
Two Concerts At KU Tomorrow
This will be the third appearance for Thor Johnson, conductor, at the University this year. He brought the Cincinnati symphony here for a concert appearance last spring and was a guest conductor at the Midwestern Music camp during the summer.
Political Party Studies Platform
A motion approving racial nondiscrimination was passed Monday by the Independent men's political party. A platform committee was also selected.
The non-discrimination action was the result of a Negro Student association request that it be permitted to have nominees on the Independent's candidate list in the election April 20.
The platform committee will meet with a similar committee from the Independent women's political senate to decide a platform for the April election.
Members are James Childers, College freshman; Robert Dunwell, College sophomore; Samuel Hammer, College senior; Arthur Kaaz, Jr.; engineering freshman; Gerald Peterson, College junior; Harold Thyr, College sophomore; and Lewis Waltle, College junior. Two of the seven men are from the Negro Student association.
Donald Giffin resigned as president of the party because of his recent election to the I.S.A. council. Roger Davis, College sophomore, was elected the new president. Robert Dunwell replaced Davis as treasurer.
The meeting was to have been held jointly with the women's political senate but bad weather kept members from attending.
The addition of light to the seven fine arts has been made only recently. It is still not a finished art but is in the experimental stage.
The College faculty will hold its March meeting at 4 p.m. today in Frank Strong auditorium.
Color Organist Demonstrates Light As An Eighth Art Form
Faculty To Meet Today
A report on the three and a half years of the Western Civilization course will be given.
By ANN ALLEN
Light, the eighth fine art form, as a semi-abstract, unobjective composition, was demonstrated by Thomas Wilfred. Danish-American artist, in a concert and lecture in Hoch auditorium Monday.
Father Casdale, a Jesuit monk, presented the first color organ recital in the 17th century. Sir Isaac Newton in his experiments with light stated that "Every note on the musical scale has a color that may be interpreted differently by every man."
The clavilux or color organ is ope a lantern slide or a kaleidoscope, achieving a composition are inter-ference of a beam of light, in which a mirror interrupts the light rays and throws them onto the screen, and reflection, in which a mirror reflects the light onto a screen.
History of the art of light dates back as far as humanity. Twenty-five centuries ago Patagoras experimented with silent music in a sequence of music form and color. In 1719 a Chinese emperor gave a performance of light. Lantern slides and fireworks in logical sequence were used.
The clavilux or color organ is operated much on the same principle as a lantern slide or a kaleidoscope, Mr. Wilfred said. Two methods of achieving a composition are inter-
Mr. Wilfred predicted two more fine arts which will be added when human beings mature more. One is the art of sound. This art will combine sounds of nature into patterns. It will be very informal in comparison to music. "It should be a gentle, quiet art," he said.
Odor as an art would make use of the sense of smell in association with past events. Different odors would be blended to bring memories to the audience.
The color organ is now being used in therapy to classify Schizophrenia. Light patterns are shown to the patient, and his reactions are transcribed and classified. Light in this field is very new and much time will be needed to determine its value. Mr. Wilfred said.
ASC Committee Approves $1,100 In Requests
Appropriations totaling more than $1,100 were approved by the All Student Council finance committee Monday. Only three out of eight requests for appropriations were approved without change. One request was denied.
All requests recommended by the finance committee must be approved by the A.S.C. Appeals from any organization requesting appropriations must be made to the Council.
Finance committee members who made the recommendations were Robert Bennett, College junior, chairman; Wilma Shore and Roger Davis, College sophomores.
The committee approved a grant of $450 for the Engineering exposition. The Associated Women's Students requested $250 for the purchase of office equipment. The committee recommended $200.
Robert Chesky, College junior, requested $200 for Y.M.C.A. The request was reduced to $150 and approved by the committee. The K-club, represented by Ernest Friesen, College junior, requested $150. The request was approved. The money will be used to help pay the expenses of a dinner for high school athletes visiting the University during the K.U. Relays.
The finance committee recommended that Delta Sigma Rho honorary debate fraternity, be granted $100 to send delegates to the national convention. Friesen also represented Delta Sigma Rho.
The committee approved a $60 request from the International Relations club. A request from the International club was denied. Both requests were read by chairman Bennett.

London Man Visits Campus
The Berlin blockade will right itself eventually, an 82-year-old Salvation Army leader told a Daily Kansan reporter on a recent visit to the University.
He was Commissioner David C. Lamb, London, England, who once was asked by Ramsay McDonald to serve in the British cabinet.
"The Atlantic pact and the United Nations are working toward world peace and we should be satisfied to make even a little progress toward that peace," he said.
The veteran Salvation Army leader has the Order of the British Empire. He is a friend of Winston Churchill, Clement Attlee, and other high British political and social leaders.
"There are two kinds of communism," the commissioner said. "One is the materialistic, such as Russia has, and the other is the spiritualistic. The latter is I," he said. He quoted a passage from the Book of Acts which forms the basis for his belief in the "spiritual communism." This passage tells of the Pentecost when all things are shared in common.
Asked what he thought of the repeal of prohibition in Kansas, the commissioner replied: "Legislate for human nature—not against it."
Major Paul Robb, Kansas City Salavation Army leader, accompanied Commissioner Lamb on his tour of the University of Kansas.
