Don Cossacks Sing Here Wednesday
The first concert of the semester will be given by the Don Cossack chorus in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 p.m. Wednesday. Activity books will admit students.
Songs of the church, campfire and battlefield, Russian folk songs, and Cossack dancing will make up the program. Serge Jaroff is the conductor.
The chorus appeared at the University in 1932 and in 1934. This annual tour is the group's 16th in the United States.
Work,Hobby Pay Off For Mrs. Calderwood
Hobby hours are profitable ones for Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, English literature instructor, who finds that writing feature articles pays dividends. Teaching as a profession, she uses her leisure time to turn out an average of one feature a week for the book page of the Kansas City Star.
"The great books of the world are not just for experts and for reading in the classroom." Mrs. Calderwood says, "but for everybody." One of her reviews which recently appeared on the editorial page of the Kansas City Times, pointed out that adults reading "Alice in Wonderland" to their children may for the first time appreciate the witty satire hidden to them as children.
Fond of her hobby, Mrs. Calderwood also likes her profession because she believes "Young people are stimulating. And, she added, "veteran students are a challenge to the teacher because they keep us on our toes."
Mrs. Calderwood received her bachelor of arts degree at Carleton college, Northfield, Minn., where she was editor of the college paper one year. Her master's degree in English literature was from Columbia university, N.Y. Before coming to K.U. she taught at two state teachers' colleges in Minnesota, Mankato and Duluth, and also at DePauw university in Indiana.
Although teaching is her profession and writing her hobby, Mrs. Calderwood also plays the piano and pipe organ, and practices at least an hour a day.
Record-Breaking Spring Semester Hits K. U. Campus
(continued from page one)
in obtaining all necessary textbooks, now hit by a shortage.
More students will have to take Saturday classes, because regular Monday, Wednesday, Friday sections fill quickly. Some will even have 12:30 courses, although the shortage of classrooms hasn't led to many of those yet.
It's a transition semester, for sure, and it's transition with a good, hard bang, not an easy, convenient changeover.
The University teaching staff will have its hands full, too. Individual instructors will be handling more students, and administration authorities will be swamped with more paper work.
And, in case you're interested, it'll be a steady grind with the books until after mid-semesters, because the first holiday of the spring will be Easter. Perish the thought!
Guggenheim Fellows Studying on Campus
Two Guggenheim fellows, Manuel Maldonado-Koereld and Bernardo Villa-Ramirez of Mexico, are enrolled at the University for graduate work in zoology under the direction of Prof. E. Raymond Hall. Both men are completing work on their doctor of philosophy degrees.
Maldonado, who taught at the Institute of Scientific Investigation of the University of Monterrey, Nueva Leon, Mexico, has been elected president of the K.U. chapter of Fni Sigma, honorary biology fraternity.
Villa is a former teacher of zoology at the National Preparatory school at the University of Mexico, who served in the biological institute there.
Guggenheim Fellowships are granted annually to from 40 to 60 persons of high intellectual and personal qualifications by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial foundation which provides funds and administers the fellowships.
The foundation purposes are to bring about improvements in education and in the practices of the arts and professions in the United States, to encourage and support research, and to help bring about better international understanding.
Jerald Hamilton, College sophomore from Wichita, will accompany the 250-voice chorus in rehearsal until April when the 80-piece symphony orchestra will be used, Dean Swarthout said. The chorus is composed of the Men's and Women's Glee clubs and the A Capella choir. Four soloists will be selected later.
Memorial Service Rehearsals Begin
Rehearsals for Verdi's "Mazon Requiem," to be presented May 5 as an all-University memorial to K.U. war dead have begun. D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, announced today.
Gov. Andrew Schoepell will be invited to participate in this program, which will open the University's music week activities. Chancellor Deane W. Malott will also take part.
"More male voices are needed," Dean Swarthout said.
80 Men Move Into Thayer, But They're Really Not Museum Pieces
Invitations will be sent to the families of the men and women honored, to the Board of Regents, and to the presidents of other state schools.
A gold-star flag will be unfurled at that time in honor of the University's war dead.
Pi Phi announces Pledging
Pi Beta Phi has announced the pledging of Barbara Hume, Kansas City.
About 80 men are moving into Thayer museum, but they are far from becoming museum pieces.
All GT's but one—he's an exchange student from Central America—they can feel at home in quarters on the lower floor, which is divided into a study hall and a dormitory with double bunks and locker space.
Rooms in Robinson gymnasium and the stadium also are being converted into living quarters for men, but will be used only in case of emergency, Irvin Youngberg, housing director, said. These two buildings with Thayer will house 140 men, he added.
Married veterans looking for apartments can still get them at Sunflower Village, where there still are vacancies. Mr. Youngberg said.
Several hundred new students will live in emergency housing centers recently provided by the University.
These include University-owned houses which have been converted into women's dormitories.
"The University has not turned away a single student so far because of lack of housing, and we hope to keep up that record," Mr. Youngberg said.
Plans for-handling an expected enrollment of more than 6000 in September include space for about 100 men in quarters behind the gymnasium, and erection of 110 defountable houses on or near the campus.

Navy Releases Beds For University Use
At least 200 more men students will have beds this semester, thanks o the navy!
The beds and bedding were released to the University last week, and will be used to furnish the basement of Thayer museum, now being into a men's dormitory, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary said.
The naval contract provides that all equipment, which included study lamps, textbooks, and tables, not returned at the end of this semester must be returned by June.
