KU Orchestra Plans Concerts, Tours This Year
The 100-piece symphony orchestra directed by Russell Wiley, band director, has been chosen. Seventy per cent of its members returned from last year.
"We are reading music in search of a balanced program for the concert to be given in December," Professor Wiley said.
The orchestra will go on tour this year, to perform a joint concert with the band at the Music hall in Kansas City and visit Ottumwa, Iowa, which extends an invitation to the outstanding university orchestra of the year.
"We have more requests for engentents within the state than we will be able to fill," Professor Wiley said.
"This is one of the finest orchestras I've ever had experience with. It's young but it's filled with a group of experienced musicians who are already beginning to grow with the group."
AVC To Plan Vets Campaign
The American Veterans committee will hammer at life insurance, housing, and getting out voters as its three major campaigns this year. These will be discussed at a public meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Pine room of the Union.

ONE. Periodic drives towards reinstatement of national service life insurance.
TWO. An all-out drive on the Taft-Ellender-Wagner housing bill, at the time congress convenes.
THESE. A spring drive to "get out the vote."

Speakers at the meeting will include Russell Barrett, assistant instructor of political science, on "What A. V. C. Has Done at K. U." Everett Bell, freshman law student, on "A. V. C. and Campus Life," and Laura Fraalk, College junior, on "A. V. C.'s Activity at the University."
The A. V. C. would like to get government action on prices, and cost of living and subsistence increases for veterans, Haggard said.

Prof. J. A. Troville, head of the parking committee, says that drivers of these small vehicles do not have to buy parking permits as the committee believed there are enough vacant spaces on the campus to meet needs. Otherwise they are subject to the same regulations as cars.
Too many motorcycles and motor scooters in rest. *d areas are causing parking headaches.*
Drivers of these vehicles are cautious against the regular traffic flow.
Some stalactites (a deposit of calcium carbonate resembling an icicle) in the Luray caverns of Virginia are 50 feet long, three to eight feet wide and two feet thick, but did you know that stalactites are forming on the University campus?
Not quite as big as those in the Luray caverns, the campus miniature stalactites are now forming on the ceiling of the main basement entrance to Frank Strong hall.

The stalactites, say two graduate students of geology, Ellick Stevenson, and Alfred Spreng, started because of a crack formed in the limestone ceiling, according to Ira Kumins, Ellick Stevenson and Alfred Spreng, graduate students in geology. This crack extends to the floor of the balcony on the other side of the

When stalactites and stalagmites (an inverted stalacite, formed up from the floor) are joined, a solid pillar results.
