Fine Arts Notes Changes
Strains of everything musical from Bach's "Toccata and Fugue" to Tommy Dorsey's "Boogie-woogie" may still be heard from the practice rooms of Hoch auditorium, and on a quiet day you can still hear those sopranos practicing in Frank Strong hall from any point on the campus. That much is unchanged about the School of Fine Arts.
Numerous additions, improvements and changes have been made, however. All ensembles have been enlarged, a new concert series has been inaugurated and new equipment and new courses have been added also. An emphasis has been placed on many new fields of study, and new faces have appeared on the staffs of both music and art departments.
The major concert series, now in its 46th year, will feature appearances by Arnold Eidus, violinist, the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe, Gold and Fitzdale two-piano team, "Barber of Seville," the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra, and Gladys Swarthout.
One hundred and ten voices make up the 1948 A Cappella choir with Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts as director, Both Men's and Women's Glee clubs have 65 voices. Miss Iren Peabody, associate professor of voice, directs the women's group, and Joseph Wilkins, chairman of the department of voice, is director of the Men's Glee club.
The A. Cappella choir, University band, symphony orchestra, men's and Women's Glee clubs will also appear at various times during the year and will present formal concerts in the spring.
The University band received new uniforms in 1947 and the 115 piece male marching band appeared this year at the new student induction and at the Colorado-Kansas and Texas Christian-Kansas football games. Plans for them include trips to the Missouri-Kansas and Kansas State-Kansas games and reorganization into concert band with appearances at all-musical vespers.
Plans for building a new music hall are on the building list to be acted upon by the legislature. It will probably be placed on the University drive, Dean Swarthout said. Plans call for an auditorium in the new building to seat at least 1,000, he added.
School of Pharmacy Enrollment Leaps From 23 To 242
Twenty-three students enrolled in pharmacy Sept. 9, 1885. That's less than one-tenth of the 242 who enrolled for the fall term of 1948.
The establishment of a chair of pharmacy at the University by an act of the state legislature in 1885 was celebrated by students of the University with a bonfire on Massachusetts street. The chair of pharmacy was changed to School of Pharmacy in 1891.
L. E. Sayre, graduate of Philadelphia college, was elected head of the hair of pharmacy by the board of agents in June, 1885. He was designated professor of pharmacy.
The executive committee of the graduate school has authorized the granting of a doctor of philosophy degree in pharmaceutical chemistry. This degree has never been granted by the University before.

Cattle Gang Up On Bear
Marengo, Wis. — (UP) — Farmers around Marengo claim they have some of the toughest cows there are. Theodore Lehmusvirta of the U.S. forest service at Clam lake saw a dozen head of young cattle "gang up" on a bear and chase it more than 500 yards into the woods.
University Offers Counseling Course
An extension course to instruct high school teachers in methods of counseling students is being started by members of the guidance bureau.
Dr. A. H. Turney, head of the bureau, met last Friday with the principal, assistant principal, and director of vocational guidance of Wyandotte High school, Kansas City, Kan., and made arrangements for the special course. The course will be known as "Problems and Practices of High School Guidance." Dr. Turney and William Cottle, also of the guidance bureau, will work on the project. It is being sponsored by the state board for vocational education.
