2 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 2, 1945 Kansan Comments Bright Future Is in Prospect For K.U. Culture With the annual arrival of National Music week comes the realization that the University is doing all in its power to restore the cultural side of college life that prewar students knew. When such acknowledged musical figures as Sigmond Romberg, Alec Tempelton, and Olin Downes, the music critic for the New York Times, feel it worthwhile to participate in the observance of Music week on a mid-western university campus, the aesthetic aspects of the University have an optimistic outlook again. This will be Templeton's second appearance at K.U., his performance before an audience of more than 5,000 persons in 1941 proving so popular that Fine Arts officials arranged for his return next Monday. That same spring Lawrence Tibbett, currently of "Don't Fence Me In" fame, appeared for the annual festival and "made a hit" with students and townspeople alike. Ferde Grofe, noted American composer-conductor, was also featured on the Music week program several years ago when he directed the combined University band and orchestra in several of his own compositions, Albert Spaulding, famous violinist, and the San Carlo opera company, that presented "Carmen," were others who made the University outstanding for its spring concert course. Perhaps it is due to the inspiration received from these great musicians that the University's own student music organizations, both vocal and instrumental, are again in the ascendancy after a temporary slack due to the first impact of the war. When a student organization is requested to travel to a city larger than Lawrence and there give five performances in one day, as the Women's Glee club did last week, certainly there is a bright outlook for the musical future of the University. — J.F. Volunteer Speakers To Explain Conference Volunteers from the speech and drama department will meet in the Pine Room of the Memorial Union building at 4:30 p.m. to make plans for conducting a speaking tour to all organized houses to explain the purpose and theme of the World Peace conference which will be held at the University under the sponsorship of the Student Religious council. Delegates from organized houses will represent various countries at the conference, and will present the problems of that nation. At the meeting this afternoon the speech and drama volunteers will make up a schedule for the organization of the tour, and will consider the content of the talks. Mine-Operator Contract Extended for Conciliations Education Established in 1909 Washington — Extension of the mine-operator contract for one month while differences are being ironed out before the war labor board was agreed upon Sunday, and the threatened soft coal shut-down was averted. Conferences continued today. The School of Education and the extension division of the University were established in 1909. Coeds Fear Curfew The coeds at the University of Pennsylvania recently rejected a "date curfew" imposed on them by the university. The curfew began on March 9 as a temporary arrangement until a permanent plan could be worked out and cut the deadline for dates on four to six nights a month and from 1:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. The curfew was rescinded when representatives of the university's soroties and women's dormitories unanimously rejected the plan. The coeds declared that they feared for their poulity under the shorter dating hours. Physical Therapy Scholarships Now Available Scholarships for training in physical therapy under the $1,267,600 program of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis are available immediately for classes commencing in June and July, Basil O'Connor president of the National Foundation announced. As a result of the increasing use of physical therapy in the treatment of infantile paralysis and other diseases, and because of the acute shortage of trained personnel, the National Foundation is offering these scholarships for nine to twelve months' courses in approved schools of physical therapy. The scholarships will cover tuition and maintenance in accordance with the student's needs. "There are opportunities at the present time for the full employment of 5,000 additional physical therapists throughout the nation." Mr. O'Connor said. "However, present day teaching facilities at approved schools can accommodate approximately only 1,000 students. Teaching facilities at these schools will be increased by additional teachers obtained through the National Foundation's teaching fellowships so that the training capacity of the schools can meet the full requirements of the profession." Pointing out that there are only 2,500 qualified physical therapists in the United States, with more than half of them in the armed services, Mr. O'Connor said it would require several years to train the additional thousands of physical therapists needed. Candidates for National Foundation scholarships must have two years of college, including biology and other basic sciences, or be graduates of accredited schools of nursing or physical education.

Rock Chalk Talk By CAROL STUART Rip Van Kuklenski—When Mike "Trish" Kuklenski answered a question correctly in American government class, Prof. W. E. Sandelius, completely amazed, said, "But how did you know, Mike? You were fast asleep when we discussed that." ** ** Poisonality plus — The newest addition to the D.G. house, in the form of a 1929 Hudson, has been named "Gangrene" for three reasons: A gang can "set in," it's green, and it's leathly with "Pod" McCleary behind he wheel. Pointless, isn't it? — With faculty guests coming to dinner and no meat points in sight, Betty Gregory at Joliffe hall had her own ingenuous solution to the problem. Up at the break of dawn, Betty and some of her rudely-awakened friends journeyed from farmhouse to farmhouse, gathering chickens as they went. The only trouble, according to Betty, was that no one who passed the girls carrying 48 pounds of chicken in the *** rough, would offer them a ride. *** Better be chairful, fellas—Free rides are available if you bring your own chair, so don't be alarmed if you see someone grab a chair and hop into a car with it. No doubt it will just be "Danny" Danneberg or one of the other T.K.E.'s with their own unusual method of climbing aboard the T.K.E.'s red streak of a car. *** Barrett to Speak On Mexican Trip Cotton-tails—When the conversation hit a lull at the Chi O house during a guest dinner last week, only the following echoed throughout the dining room: "He's upstairs in the bathtub." Explanation: Neil Legler had just purchased one small rabbit for Betty Nichols. Malott Attends Meeting in K.C. Mr. Barrett was in charge of the first group of North American students going to Mexico under the auspices of the Experiment in International Living institution. He will speak about his experiences on that trip and will show some pieces of Mexican handicraft. L. L. Barrett, assistant professor of romance languages, will speak on "An Experiment in International Living" at the meeting of the Spanish club at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday in room 113, Frank Strong hall, Pina Diaz-Gomez, vice-president, announced. *** Oh, but she's mitey — One of the bacteriology department's expenditure for this year will be the following item: "One stepladder to enable Betty Frank Carey to reach shelf to put microscope away." Cancellor Deane W. Malott attended a noon meeting of the executive committee of the Midwest Research institute in Kansas City, today. The meeting will be open to all students of Spanish. Temperatures May Drop Down Below Freezing Tonight Severe damage to the fruit crop in Kansas is foreseen with the prediction that temperatures will be below freezing in this area tonight. The mercury is expected to go as low as 20 degrees above zero in the west, and between 30 and 35 degrees in the northeast. Now is the most critical time for early fruit. The period between April 1 and 14 is considered the dangerous time for frost, but on the average, freezing weather has not occurred after April 7. Fruit growers will commence to breathe easier by the end of this week should the forecasted frost not arrive tonight.
