THE KANSAN COMMENTS
American Musicians Should Be Recognized
When Karl Kreuger, conductor of the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra for many years, recently accepted a similar position with the Detroit Philharmonic, the attention of music-lovers throughout the nation was directed to the fact that Kreuger is the only native-born American orchestra director in the field of top-flight civic musical organizations of this nation today.
Why this should be true is a question which is puzzling music authorities and causing widespread comment in musical societies over the country. Although it is true that European artists have a musical background extending over centuries and many of them number the great masters among their immediate ancestors, American musicians have been provided with equal or even greater and more abundant opportunities and facilities for developing their talents.
During the past decade or two, public schools in every state in the union have incorporated an extensive music program into their curriculum, have sponsored local, regional and national music contests which draw thousands of young musicians together annually to play under some of the best conductors in the country. They have provided the use of school-owned instruments free of charge to any student who is interested in studying with one. With all these advantages, in addition to the wealth of musical lore from the old world which they have at their command, well-trained American musicians are climbing to the top in their field and excelling over many of the foreign artists. Now, the only obstacle left to overcome is that of convincing their sponsors and the public that there is no magic in a foreign name—that music can be of just as good a quality when it is produced by an American.
Such cases as the hiring of Alex Murray, Californian violinist, to fill the position of concertmaster with the Kansas City Philharmonic, thus replacing Orlando Barena, who recently entered the armed services of this country, may be the turning point in this trend toward Americanism in music. The dearth of foreign musicians which have been unavailable for employment since the war began, may have had an effect on this trend. From now on perhaps it will be easier to overcome the prejudice against skilled artists among our own fellow-citizens. It is about time for America to step into her own and assume her rightful position as a leader in the musical circles of the world.

CVC Will Plan Bond Drive At Meeting This Afternoon

Rock Chalk Talk
By HANNA HEDRICK
Bob Scalzo, of Seattle (and now at home in PT3), tops the list on crash-landings. After he gave an order to "right flank" in front of Marvin hall, a loud thump reverberated along the street. Upon looking back, the boys in the ranks discovered all 6 feet 3 inches of their admirable leader stretched flat upon the pavement. To add insult to injury, this debacle was witnessed by cheering AST's.
Something new was almost added to headquarters: Six inches closer, and Theta Patsy Clifford might have been minus a vital part of her contour (That which is otherwise known as the cerebellum). A light fixture in Fraser halI suddenly and quite unexpectedly came loose from its mooring and hit her desk with a loud crash.

What's up on the lowdown: Anonymity of names is necessary, but this shows that "unusual" times are still had in Kansas City. A K.U. miss went to wholesale market in the city recently, with her aunt. Coming home from a show one night, she met a sorority sister and her brother.
YWCA Plans Fund For Postwar Study
Plans for raising a postwar fund for servicemen and needy students are being made by the YWCA, with the approval of the Chancellor and with the cooperation of other organizations on the Hill, Virginia Stephenson, of the YWCA post war commission, announced today.
Eugenia Hepworth, chairman of the YWCA social committee, is working with the postwar commission toward giving a party to raise money to pay for initial expenses of launching a campaign for the fund. Money received through the party will be devoted to sending out letters to alumni, describing the fund and asking for contributions.
"By devoting our efforts to a fund of this kind, we students hope to answer the accusations of many people saying that we are not aware of the war and of the problems it will create." Miss Stevenson said.
The present indefiniteness of government plans for financing the education of servicemen after the war is one of the reasons behind the campaign. In case the government does provide adequately for servicemen who wish to continue their education, more of the money raised will be available to assist other students in need of financial aid. Particular reference has been made to students who have accelerated their program because of the war and have been unable to work summers and save money.
The University Club will give a bridge dinner at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening in the Colonial Tea room. Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Hanna and Mr. and Mrs. George March are in charge of reservations.
The fund will be a terminable one, and awards will be handled by a scholarship committee of students and faculty members.
University Club to Give Bridge Dinner Tomorrow
Fumigation Originated in 473 B.C.
Fumigation was originated in 473 B.C., by Acron, a Greek physician, who burned aromatics in great fires.
Big brother, an M.U. Phi Delt in years past, and now a Marine Lieutenant, decided to show the girls the town (rongher side), and they eventually ended up in a spot on Highway 40. After vocalizing with the band and meeting a few colorful characters, Miss X suddenly remembered her girl waiting for her in a downtown hotel.
By this time, the harried aunt had sent an SOS to the police . . . and so the threesome beat a hasty route to the station to explain. Too late, for by this time, all K.C. police were on the lookout for the wandering footsteps of Miss X with the light brown hair. The time of her arrival back in the hotel is censored, the language of the police force is censored, and the aunt got pneumonia. 'Nuff said.
After the cooks quit on a minute's notice, Alpha Chi's wondered where their next meal was coming from. To the rescue came all of the home ec majors in the house, who are working split-second operations. Barbara Hall, Martha Brody, Gay Richards, and Betty Ann Hopkins were the chefs, par excellence, for the first home-talent meal.
Four senior home economic majors, who will take the army dietition test Wednesday are Frances Raw, Margaret Schel, Phyllis Wickert, and Josephine Woolverton.
