Snyder 'Wants To Be Alone' With His Piano and Flowers
Paul Snyder, associate professor of piano, prefers having interesting pupils and being left alone to the life of a concert pianist. Professor Snyder joined the School of Fine Arts faculty last fall.
A concert tour in Europe from 1933 to 1936 gave him a taste of the concert artist's life. He played in such cities as Milan, Rome, London, Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm. Previously he had studied for four years in London, three in Berlin and Italy, and two at the University of Chicago.
Farming is one of Professor Snyder's specialties outside the music field. A victim of the housing shortage in Lawrence, he calls his farm in Michigan "home." It was there that he spent three of the war years farming before coming to the University and, "didn't touch a piano during that time."
Hopes of buying a farm near Lawrence have not been realized, but he came to Kansas prepared. Specializing in anamylis and begonias, Professor Snyder has about 200 plants in the university greenhouse now. He explained, "I had hoped to find a house by spring and wanted to have some flowers to set out immediately."
Before coming to K.U., Professor Snyder tough for three years in the Horton institute in Kansas City, gave private lessons while in Europe, and taught in Chicago after his return from the tour.
He was married in 1925, and has two children. Mary, 16, is studying art in the Cranbrook school near Detroit. Christopher, a blond 10-year-old, is in the fifth grade at Pinckney school and "is engrossed in studying the cello at present," his father said.
Professor Snyder has appeared in recitals in Kansas City, Emporia, and it the Cranbrook school, as well as on the University faculty series this year.
'And When They Got There
The Postoffice Was Bare'
Chicago. (UP)—The radio call came in clear:
"Squad 22 . . . Squad 22 . . . meet beautiful blonde in distress at Beverly Hills post office. . . That is all."
The crossing policemen prick up their ears and their speed.
When the cops arrived at the postoffice, there wasn't any blonde to play postoffice with. Disappointed they reported the mystery.
Beverly Hills is a district on Chicago's far South Side, as well as the California home of movie stars.
The highway police's radio engines checked into the radio call. It came, he learned, not from his own station, but direct from California state police.
Somehow, by some freak of the airlines, the call intended for California cops was heard by Illinois policemen. By a further coincidence, the Bedford Park autos are numbered similarly to those of the West Coast officers.
All women students planning to attend the conference at Estes park, Colo., from June 10 to June 20 may contact the W.Y.C.A. Mrs. Christine Alfred Y.W.C.A. secretary, said today. Arrangements for transportation and other details will be made.

Moving was under the supervision of Mrs. Anita Yoder, geology librarian; W. H. Schoewe, geology professor; and Arthur Bowsher, graduate student.
"Library hours will remain the same as they were in Snow hall." Mrs. Yoder said. "The library will be open afternoons and evenings during the week and from 9 a.m. to 12 noon Saturday."
Several new pieces of furniture, including a librarian's desk, and reading tables, have been added.
"There are more than 8,000 volumes in this library." Mrs. Yoder explained. "Many of them were acquired by an exchange service, whereby the geology survey departments of various states and foreign countries send us their publications in return for ours."
The United States supreme court first met in 1790.
Besides containing geological publications, the library also contains material on mining, chemical and petroleum engineering, geography, and astronomy.
