Travers To Be Next Concert Attraction
She gave her first public concert at the age of six at Music Mountain, Conn. At nine, her professional debut on the Ford Sunday Evening Hour with the Detroit symphony established Miss Travers as a serious artist. At ten, Miss Travers appeared with the New York Philharmonic-Symphony. Two years later she was chosen by the late Dr. Frederick Stock to premiere the Prokoffieff Second concerto with the Chicago symphony orchestra.
Patricia Travers, 20 year-old concert violinist, will appear as the fifth major attraction on the University concert series at 8:20 p.m. March 15 in Hoch auditorium.
Miss Travers' career has included seven appearances in two successive seasons with the Philadelphia orchestra, a New York Carnegie hall recital, South American good will broadcasts over the Columbia network, and Transcontinental and Canadian tours with more than 37 major orchestras. She was opening soloist for the 1945 Chicago Grant Park series.
Miss Travers started the study of violin at the age of four and worked for three years with Jacques Gordon of the Gordon String Quartet and then with Han Letz of the Juilliard Graduate School of Music in New York.
Miss Travers recently spend eight weeks in Hollywood making a Paramount motion picture, "There's Magic In Music."
'Supreme Court Ban Will Not Affect School Of Religion'
The recent supreme court decision against religious education in public schools will probably not affect the University, two faculty members and an administrator agreed today.
Harold G. Barr, dean of the School of Religion; Raymond Nichols, executive secretary; and Tom Page, instructor in political science, said these are in which the Uni-
they saw no way in which the Unit's could be affected by the calming.
An Independent Force
The Rev. Dr. Barr stated that the School of Religion is an independent corporation from which the University recognizes credits just as it would from an outside religious school.
Any religious body can conduct courses in the school if it provides its own instructors, the Rev. Dr. Barr stated. The University merely sees that instructors are qualified and that courses are of academic level.
The Rev. Dr. Barr thinks that Kansas schools will not be affected by the decision if they have not been using state funds for religious instruction.
"The University does not teach religion," said Mr. Nichols. "The Bible is used as a reference book in literature courses, but not for religious instruction."
Mr. Page said that only in cases where the educational system "is operated by one dominant religious group which has incorporated its religious teaching into the public schools can this decision be applied." Will Not Be Affected
"I believe that we have the ideal situation here," he said. "The University has been friendly and cooperative in all our relations. There has never been a question of using state funds in the School of Religion."
The 'Shack' Was Cold,
So They Had Coffee—Iced
It was cold as a barn in the Journalism "shack" today as snow sifted in through ancient window frames, forming little drifts on the sills.
Everyone bundled up in an overcoat, but you can't pound a typewriter with gloves on.
Martha Jewett, Shirley Guenther, and Nancy Jack brewed coffee in the "Sky Parlor," up against the roof. By the time they descended the creaky Journalism building stairs, the coffee had chilled and was beginning to form ice crystals.
