In the teaching field, Professor Geltch has been head of the violin departments of three large state universities, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Kansas.

(continued to page four)
Professor Geltch has had an interesting record in his training and experience as a violinist. He graduated with highest bonors from the Chicago Musical college in competition with 22 other violinists, and the following year as post-graduate, he was again awarded first prize for superior playing.
Taught in Three Universities
He studied with Bernhard Listemann, one-time concert master of the Boston Symphony orchestra, with Emile Sauret, great French violinist, and with Leopold Auer, famous violin pedagogue of this generation, and teacher of Jascha Heifetz, Mischa Elman and other distinguished artists.
Mr. Goltch has had an extensive concert experience, having played more than 1300 concerts in more than 130 American colleges, universities, and academies.
Has Given Recital Each Year
The formidable looking "persuader" is a piece of cable about 18 inches long,covered with black rubber. Bundles of wire can be seen at the cut ends.
A Nazi judge's robe, two Nazi jurist's caps, and a Nazi court room "persuader" arrived yesterday morning at the office of F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law.
He came to the University of Kansas in 1922 and each year has given a complete recital besides appearing frequently before various clubs and civic groups in Lawrence and throughout the state.
In the recital Wednesday evening Professor Geltch will be accompanied by Winifred Hill Gallup.

Dean Moreau has been waiting for several weeks for the arrival of the articles from Maj. Howard M. Immel, who found the court room equipment at a courthouse in Aachen, Germany, after the Nazis had gone.
The articles will be on display in a case in the law library in Green hall, Dean Moreau said.

Army and Avery Now Run Ward's
Chicago — (INS) — Business as usual was the order of the day at Montgomery Ward company today despite the presence of two bosses. The Army insisted it was running the $500,000,000 mail order business, and Sewell Avery insisted he was still the boss.
Avery said his position has not changed and never will. "I'm going to work now and every day." Other Ward executives occupied their usual offices while the army worked in a suite assigned to it.
In Washington, Attorney General Biddle said there were no plans forceably to eject Avery, whom he described as "harmless." He said Avery would be permitted to stay in his office and added that "he is a tough guy and probably will stick to his guns." Biddle said the only constitutional right of Avery that could be involved would be taking property without compensation and added that seizure provides such for any damages under government operation.
He indicated there would be no attempt to include the Kansas City store unless there is an additional order from the war department.
Stettinius—Eden Meet Announced New York —(INS)— The British radio said today that United States Secretary of State Stettinius and British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden will meet in London to discuss the Greek situation.
Grinders Vacationed In Library
Although most University students forgot assignments during Christmas vacation, a few remaining in Lawrence studied, attendance at Watson library revealed. The students, graduate students, and faculty members who used the library during the four days that it was open apparently tried to compensate for small attendance by checking out a large number of books.
Mrs. Magda Jensen, librarian at the education desk, made use of the general absence of students and cleaned house in her department. (Notice the shine on the desk when you check out your next required reading.) After such enterprise, Mrs. Jensen is still regretting that she didn't have time to polish the student reading desks in the room.
Other library functions continued as usual during the vacation, C. M. Baker, director of libraries, said. Shelving, checking, filing, and other work not apparent to the student checking out a book, was done. However, Miss Esther Norman, head of the circulation department, asserted that the staff "really welcomed the students' return".
Games and Devotions Will Be Featured At New Year's Party
A recreational and devotional program has been planned by the Student Religious Counseil for its New Year's watch party Sunday night, Dorothy Cooper, publicity chairman of the organization, has announced. All University students are invited to the party, which will begin at 10 p.m. at the Congregational church, Miss Cooper said. Closing hours for women will be 12:30 Sunday night.

No building program except a recommended appropriation from the state building fund was included. The governor said he would leave that problem for the legislature, but that he contemplates a five-year program which would spend a total of about seven and one-half million dollars. His recommendations will be made in his message to the lawmakers.
Of the 12,812,013 requested for Kansas educational institutions in the state budget for 1945-47 biennium beginning July 1, only 3,978.297 was approved yesterday. Governor Schoeppel approved a state budget calling for nearly 20 per cent more than the $19,520,000 appropriated by the 1913 legislature. The total of $23,193,155 of increased state expenditures will fall largely in the fields of materials and maintenance.
Only general fund expenditures were considered. Other principal categories considered besides educational were charitable institutions which had $9,787,297 approved of the $12,812,013 asked, and penal institutions under direction of the board of administrations which asked for $2,265,180 and had $2,154,276 approved.
