Palmer and Moore Give Light Recital
Bv JEANNE SHOEMAKER
Last night's faculty recital featuring Miss Meribah Moore and Robert Palmer, both of the School of Fine Arts, was a far cry from being a heavy classical one. Following Miss Moore's first four numbers which were short classical ones, the recital swung from the lightness of the rest of Miss Moore's numbers to the Ultra-modernness of Mr. ___
Palmer's compositions.
Mr. Palmer's two compositions, the adagio from his "Second Trio for Strings" and the "Sonata for Violin and Piano," were both characterized by their modernistic, impressionistic quality. The first had a slow, almost mournful quality and employed extensive use of double stopping in all instruments, violin, cello, and viola. Played by three students in the School of Fine Arts, James Lereh, violin; Eugene Nininger, viola; and Glenn Royer, cello; the piece had a pizzicato treatment in the middle section which was taken up by one instrument after the other and then faded back into the original theme.
The sonata was a composition of three movements and portrayed the drive and power of twentieth century America. It expressed in music the same qualities found in the poetry of Whitman, and the painting of Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton. The product of an ultra-modern composer, the sonata had an under-curred of drive and force played by the composer himself on the piano. The lyrics which had a sad nostalgic quality were woven in by Karl Kuersteiner on the violin.
Composed of Three Movements
For her opening numbers Miss Moore sang "Per Pieta" from "Il Floridorò" (Stradella), "Let Me Wander Not Unseen" from "L'Allegra" (Handel), "Noel" (Nerini), and "Fantoches" (Debussy). Although the first four were light enough to be enjoyed by the average, not particularly musical person, the last group of songs was particularly liked by the audience.
"Wild Geese" (Buchanan) was a melody of beauty sung with feeling by Miss Moore. The other pieces, "When I Bring To You Colored Tees" (Carpenter), "A Piper" (Head), "The

Pasture" (Naginski), and "At the Well" (Hageman), were all very short, bright sparkling songs.
HouseBoosts Osteopaths' License Bill
Topeka, (INS)—The calendar revision committee of the House today made a sudden decision to give quick consideration to the bill to permit osteopaths to prescribe drugs and to practice surgery in Kansas. The committee boosted the bill to fourth place on the calendar under the heading of "general orders," which meant it probably would get consideration by the committee of the whole House during the day.
The House committee on military affairs had thrown out the bill providing for two-year enlistments in the Kansas State Guard organization and for re-enlistments of one-year periods.
The Malone bill to restrict state authorities to revoke motorists' licenses for drunken driving was killed by the state highways committee. Also the committee killed the Bush bill to restrict highway traffic in Kansas to 35 miles an hour for the duration. Enactment of this measure had been requested by federal authorities.
A bill to provide a merit system for Wichita city employees was killed by the state affairs committee.

Lend-Lease May Take Over Twelve Per Cent Of America's Food
Washington, (INS) — As the nation yesterday prepared to undergo institution of the stringent new point-ration, it was told that lend-lease shipments of food this year will probably take over 12 per cent of America's total supplies.
In a nationwide radio program, Lend-Lease Administrator Edward Stettinius, Jr., said that only an average of six per cent of this country's foodstuffs were sent abroad last year but he added that lend-lease programs would become doubly demanding during 1943.
Speaking with Stettinius on the NBC program, "Washington reports on rationing," Deputy OPA Administrator Paul O'Leary explained some of the tricks of the point ration. He disclosed that "swapping" of canned goods with equivalent point values would be allowed among consumers.

Drexel Institute of Technology, for the first time, is accepting women in all departments of the school of engineering.
Hoover Does Not Desire Nomination
Washington, (INS)—Former President Herbert Hoover is not and will not become a candidate for the Republican nomination for President in 1944 under any circumstances.
This is the message, it was learned yesterday, that the former president has sent to Washington through a prominent member of Congress. Hoover expressly asked that his attitude toward the GOP nomination in 1944 be made known to any interested party on Capitol Hill.
The former president effaced himself from consideration for the Republican nomination next year so that he may devote his entire efforts to helping preserve American democracy during the war and to contributing to the solution of world problems after the war.
While Hoover erased all ambition to another term in the White House, it is no secret that he is willing to participate in solving present war problems and is anxious to help solve post war problems.
To a Congressional visitor who alked to him in New York, Hoover aid:
"I am 70 years old. I will be 71 next year. I am not and will not become a candidate for the Presidency under any circumstances. You may tell that to any interested party in Washington. My only ambition now is to help save our democracy and to contribute a little to the solution of post war problems throughout the world."
Massachusetts Institute of Technology is establishing an urban redevelopment field station in its city planning division.
