Lauritz Melchior To Give Recital
Lauritz Melchior, tenor of the Metropolitan opera company noted especially for his performances in Wagnerian roles, will appear in recital on March 12 in Hoch auditorium.
In addition to a full season at the Metropolitan which included his record-breaking 200th performance of "Tristan," Mr. Melchior has been a guest star on many radio programs, and has made a motion picture in Hollywood, MGM's "Thrill of a Romance." He has sung many concerts in the present season, including one in New York's Town hall which was part of the 50th anniversary celebration of that music hall.
Mr. Melchior, a native of Copenhagen, Denmark, is the son of a family of Danish musicians, and was trained in the Melchior school, directed by his father and grandfather.
He began his operational career as a baritone in Verdi's "Traviata," later appearing as a tenor in London where he attracted the interest and financial backing of Hugh Walpole. This association enabled him to study in Germany under Seigfried and Cosima Wagner who schooled him in the Wagnerian tradition in which he has become famous.

Term Begins With Cold Wave And Snow Storm
Students went to their first classes today in a snow-storm which ended by mid-morning with a depth of three inches of the white covering.
The precipitation came on the heels of a north wind that dropped the temperature 20 degrees within an hour Monday forenoon, and saw a low reading of 12 degrees above zero at 7 o'clock this morning.
The sun broke through at times during the day, but it was insufficient to bring the temperature above freezing.
The cold wave was general throughout the Middle West and East. The wind caused the snow to drift in places, but its depth was not enough to endanger traffic.

New Course Offers Ground School Class And Flight Training
K. U. students are again afforded the opportunity to take actual flight training with a ground school course this semester. The new course designated as AE 45, is directly supervised by the department of aeronautical engineering and the Ong Aircraft corporation is cooperating with the University to make flight training available to the students.
Students must enroll in the ground course which will give them three hours of credit if they wish to take the flight training. The ground course will include meteorology, navigation, civil air regulations, and general service of aircraft.
The class room work and the flight training are both approved by the Civil Aeronautics Administration and students making passing grades in the course who have reached 18 years of age, are eligible to take the CAA test for their private pilot's license. Students making passing grades in the course who are not 18 years old, may take the test when they obtain that age.
"The only pre-requisite for the course is a genuine interest in aviation," said C. H. McMillan, manager of the Lawrence airport. Full details concerning the course may be obtained from William M. Simpson, professor of aeronautical engineering.
