Orchestra Shares Concert Spotlight
Patriotism Is Main Theme Of V-Concert
The Victory Concert at 8 p.m. tonight in Hoch auditorium will have as its theme "Patriotism." This will be exemplified by the 300-man Navy chorus which, under the direction of E. Thayer Gaston, assistant professor of education and public school music, and Ensign O. N. Pederson, welfare and receration officer, will sing several national songs. The chorus will also present the colors in military style.
Corp. Dick Rice, a former student now stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, will conduct the symphony orchestra in its opening number, the Star Spangled Banner.
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony will lend to the patriotic theme with its basic motif of rhythm comparable to the Morse code V. A concerto for four solo instruments and stringed orchestra will be played by Robert Sedore, violin; Robert Forman, oboe; Eugene Crabb, trumpet; and Gordon May, flute. The first three of these boys are former University students and all four of them are at present first class seamen at the Gardner Naval air base. Kuersteiner Aranges
Tschaiikowsky's Symphony No. IV in F Minor will be played by the entire orchestra followed by an "Arioso" by Bach which will feature thirty solo violins and violas. These will be accompanied by woodwinds, cellos, and basses. This number was arranged by Karl Kuersteiner, professor of violin and orchestra.
"On the Trail" from the Grand Canyon Suite by Ferde Grofe will contain solos by Don Michel, violin; Wade Fite, oboe; Doradeen Perry, trombone; and Anabel Keeler, harp. This number portrays a musical trip down into the Grand Canyon.
Concluded by Navy
The program will be concluded by national songs and the presentation of the colors by the United States Navy personnel, the audience participating in the singing. They will include "Anchors Aweigh," "Here Comes the Navy," and "Star Spangled Banner."
According to Professor Kuersteiner the entire program will be "concise and to the point." It will be approximately one hour in length. Professor Kuersteiner also stated that there will be a tax on all tickets excluding activity books. All men in uniform will be admitted free. Members of Mu Phi Epsilon, women's music sorority, will act as ushers.

"The group will examine the theoretical argument of pacificism, or, in other words, what the conscientious objector believes," explained Merrill Peterson, president of the Forums board. The panel will discuss what is being done and what should be done with the conscientious objector.
Members of the panel on the roundtable discussion will be Ralph Michener, college junior, Laird Campbell, college sophomore, Betty Kalis, college junior, and Colleen Poorman, college senior.

"Another question to be discussed is, 'what is the Criterion of a Conscientious Objector?' And in connection with the question, the method by the British government and local selective service boards in the United States will be discussed," added the president.
All Enlisted Reserves May Be Enrolled in ROTC
Previous to the receipt of this order the navy, marine, and coast guard enlisted reserves were excluded from the ROTC program. Now the basic military training is available to all the reserves.
Any member of any of the enlisted reserves—army, navy, marine, or coast guard—may now be enrolled in ROTC also, according to an order received Tuesday by the department of military science and tactics from the war department.

Kansan Announces Business Staff Jobs; Urge Women Apply
Opportunities for men and women to get practical training for wellpaid positions are now being offered on the business staff of the Kansan. Any student may apply for positions in the advertising and circulation departments; the Kansan would like to find several students who have had experience in advertising and circulation, but such experience is not necessary.
"Women students should realize that such business experience will be very valuable," declared Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the Kansan business committee. "This newspaper hopes to add several women to its business staff; any students interested in trying out should consult me soon."

Tau Sigma, honorary dancing sorority, will present a 10-minute ballet as one of the special features of the Victory Concert this evening in Hoch Auditorium. The ballet will contain 25 costumed women who will dance to the symphonic music of the Blue Danube Waltzes by Strauss.

Miss Bliss and Ruth Sheppard, president of Tau Sigma, will do special solo numbers. The choreography for the ballet has also been under the direction of Miss Bliss.
"Casting difficulties, illness of the cast. withdrawal of one of the cast from school, inability to practice in Fraser theater, and priorities all played their part in slowing production," Kelly enumerated.
The Dramatic Workshop play "This Thing Called Love," has been postponed until some future date, Bill Kelly, director, said today. The play which was to have been given Dec. 15 and 16, was called off because of mounting difficulties, Kelly said.
