Approximately 2,500 persons attended the University presentation of Guissepe Verdi's "The Requiem," honoring K.U.'s 229 war dead, in Hoch auditorium, Sunday afternoon.
Soloists were Mrs. Marie Wilkins, soprano; Miss Irene Peabody, contralto, and Joseph Wilkins, tenor, all instructors in the School of Fine Arts; and Reinhold Schmidt, bass from Chicago. Gov. Andrew Sheepch, originally scheduled to speak, was unable to attend.
The "Requiem" was presented by a 250-voice choir composed of the men's and the women's glee clubs and the a cappella choir, accompanied by the University symphony orchestra, and directed by D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
This memorial service was the beginning of the 23rd annual Music week sponsored by the School of Fine Arts.
"It is our duty," he said, "to work progressively, in the months and years that follow, toward the organizing of a world government that will keep the world free from aggression."
Preceding the musical memorial service, Chancellor Deane W. Malott gave a memorial talk in which he stated, "our greatest tribute to the war dead will be in looking ahead, dedicating ourselves toward world peace.
During the dedication of the gold star flag, which followed, lights were dummed, and taps played. Standing guard of honor were Roger Arnold, Joseph Barrington, James Bowman, E. F. Burke, R. D. Tiper, and James Walker, from the naval R.O.T.C. and John Black, Clarence Francisco, R. A. Nicholas, James Henderson, Leon Sherwood, and W. C. Stringer, from the army R.O.T.C.
Irene Marshall, Mrs. Adelaide Marquand, and Mrs. Prisella Jones, former service women, assisted in the flag raising. Members of the University Veterans' club were ushers.
"The *Requiem*" was presented in its Latin text, in seven parts. An English translation appeared on the printed program. The theme throughout was "Rest eternal, grant unto them, Lord; and let light ever-lasting lighten upon them."
Members of the committee in charge of organizing the service and designing the souvenir programs were Miss Marjorie Whitney, Miss Helen Skilton, Miss Dessa Bush, Mike Andrews, J. Sheldon Carey, Miss Gladys Hendricks, and Miss Arvid Jacobson, instructors in the School of Fine Arts. Miss Edna Hill, home economics professor, was in charge of making the gold star flag
1940 Grad Named First Templin Fellow
Charles Roderick Burton, a former Summerfield scholar who was graduated from the University in 1940, has been appointed the first Templin Fellow in philosophy for the year 1946-1947, Prof. E. H. Hollands, philosophy department, has announced.
The Templin Fellowship was founded as a memorial to Olin Templin, a former dean at the College, for his work as a teacher.
Collection of the fellowship fund was begun a year before Dean Templin's death, largely due to the effort of Miss Anna McCracken, instructor in the K.U. correspondence study bureau. The fund now amounts to $6,600, and is handled by the Endowment association.

Students Accepted On Priority Basis for Geology Field Trip
Pre-registration for the geology field camp in Colorado this summer is this week. Dr. Lowell R. Laudon, of the department said today. Registrations will be accepted on a priority basis because of the large number of students wanting to go. Students with the largest number of credit hours in geology will be given highest priority, he said.
Registration will be accepted in 409 Lindley hall, as follows: graduate students, today; seniors, tomorrow; juniors, Wednesday; sophomores, Thursday; and freshmen, Friday. Incidental and laboratory fees are to be paid at the time of registration.
Located just north of Canyon City and southeast of the famous Cripple Creek, Garden Park, Colo., the camp is excellently situated for the study of almost all phases of field geology, Professor Laudon. Permanent buildings are located in Garden Park and campers are fed ranch-style at a nearby ranch.
Three courses will be available this summer for either five or six hours credit. Geology 49 is open to freshmen and sophomores, and courses 155 and 156 are open for juniors, seniors, and graduate students.
Students who have attended the camp in previous years have made trips to Helna Canyon, Red Monument park, the Royal gorge, Sheep mountain, the great sand dunes, Monarch pass and the Salida area, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs, Wind Cave, Florisant Lake beds, Leadville, Climax, and Gilman.
Dr. John Frye will be camp director this summer and Arthur L Bowsher, recently returned veteran from the China-Burma theater, will act as assistant director.
Newsweek Editor Visits University
Chester Shaw, executive editor of Newsweek and a graduate of the University in 1924, spoke to a group in the Journalism building Friday, answering questions about his magazine's organization, policy and collection of news.
"Newsweek tries to maintain an objective policy and an impartial attitude." Mr. Shaw emphasized.
He discussed the "battle baby" issues which were published during the war and distributed to troops, remarking that they were "an outstanding success, published at no profit."
The magazine published in Japan seems to be the biggest success," he commented, "because the Japanese are eager to buy the book."
Mr. Shaw served as a laboratory supervisor in the newsroom of the Daily Kansan for one year and on newspapers in Lawrence and Kansas City before joining the staff of Newsweek.
Cases of German war equipment captured during World War I are on display in the Union Lounge.
Newsweek is now publishing in 14 divisions overseas for the troops and the people of the countries.
The souvenirs have been presented to the University by alumni, students, faculty members and friends. The display is sponsored by the K.U. War Memento committee, and begins a permanent collection of mementoes of World War II. The permanent place has not been chosen. Contributions will be received at the Alumni office, Frank Strong hall.

San Francisco. (UP)—A sullen, tense peace reigned today over Alcatraz Federal prison where three convicts in solitary, confinement awaited possible murder indictments for their part in a bloody mutiny which cost five lives.
Mutineers Face Murder Charge
Warden James A. Johnston said an investigation thus far has disclosed six ringleaders in the three-day riot, three of whom were dead. He said they waged their bitter fight with only a rifle, a .45 caliber Colt automatic pistol, a knife and a few gas grenades.
Federal Bureau of Investigation agents moved cautiously through the twisted steel, uprooted fixtures, and bullet-scared concrete walls of the prison in search of evidence which the U.S. government plans to lay before the grand jury.
The final death toll when the battle ended Saturday showed three convicts and two guards dead. Fourteen guards were wounded, two critically. They were in the U.S. Marine hospital here.
The three convicts named by Johnston as actively participating in the riot were Sam Shockley, 36 Oklahoma bank robber and kidnapper; Myron Edgar Thompson, 29 kidnapper and slayer from Amarillo, Tex.; and Clarence Carnes, 19, Oklahoma kidnaper and murderer.
Johnston said the three convicts killed in the mutiny were Bernard Paul Coy, 46, Louisville, Ky., bank robber; Joseph Paul Cretzer, 35, Los Angeles, Calif., killer; and Marvin Franklin, Hubbard, 36, Tennessee kidnaper.
"There is a good chance that the evidence will be sufficient to indict the surviving participants for murder," Daniel C. Deasy, assistant U.S. attorney sad.
"It would be done on the basis that all the participants were part of a conspiracy to commit a felony—that is, to escape."
If it is proved that one or more of the participants "actually killed someone," he said, "the other participants would be part of that conspiracy and could be charged with murder."
