Will Speak On U.S. Folksongs
Wiliam A. Owens, professor of the department of English at Texas A. & M. College, and one of the nation's outstanding authorities on American folklore, will speak on "American Folksongs" in Fraser theater at 4:30 Friday afternoon, April 17.
Owens spent several years making phonographic recordings of folk songs through the southwest, particularly in Texas, and last year was stationed at the University of Texas in charge of the bureau of folk materials. He has made between 500 and 600 recordings of American folksongs and ballads, and is now working on a book of these collections to be published with both words and music.
Three years ago, upon hearing some of Owen's recordings, Lawrence Tibbett, American baritone of note, was so impressed that he arranged for a number of the songs to be included in his concert repertoire.
Show How to Cook For War Emergency
Miss Edna Hill, professor of home economics, demonstrated cooking relative to the emergency Monday night before a group of women who have completed the work in the Red Cross nutrition classes. The demonstration showed how to obtain the most nutrition with the greatest saving and the least work.
Students in the home economies department distributed and explained pamphlets entitled "Food Will Help Win the War."
After the discussion on recipes, the women were invited into the home economics kitchens where the students were demonstrating some of the proposed recipes.
The recipes stressed in the demonstration were those calling for some of the lesser used products and meats. The desserts used syrups instead of sugar.
Students who aided Miss Hill were: Dorothy May, Priseille Adams, Georgia Mae Landrith, Virginia Heckman, Geraldine Buehler, Mary Louise McNown, Margaret Butter, Jean Morgan, Lou Allison, Jane Kinnamon, and Margaret Whitehead.
Dean Lawson Speaks In Coffeyville, Topeka
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, is making addresses today in Coffeyville. He spoke at the junior college this morning, at the high school this afternoon, and will speak to the parent-teachers association this evening.
Tomorrow, Dean Lawson will address the Topeka high school assembly. Prof. Waldemar Geltch of the School of Fine Arts will play several violin selections on the same program.
Raisins Satisfy Sweet Tooth
Berkeley, Calif.—(UP)—The Nutritional Department of the University of California comes to the aid of people whose "sweet tooth" may not be satisfied under sugar rationing. Dr. Agnes Fay Morgan states that dried fruit such as raisins, figs and prunes will do much to keep the clamoring molar within bounds.
Cancel Spring Tour For University Band
Russell L. Wiley, director of the university band, stated that it would be inadvisable for the band to take its annual spring tour because of the cancellation of the Easter vacation. It has been the custom for the band to tour part of the state and present concerts in the major towns visited.
Last year the band gave concerts in Garnett, Iola, Independence, Chanute, Emporia, Augusta, Beulah, Eldorado, and Hutchinson.
Delegates Tour K.U. Art Exhibits
Fifty delegates to the Western art convention which is meeting in Kansas City this week were guests of the University department of design at a tea this afternoon in room 320 of Frank Strong hall. The tea followed a tour of the University and Haskell institute art exhibits sponsored by the Kansas State Federation of Art.
Exhibits at the University include weaving by Miss Marjorie Whitney, head of the department of design; pottery by Norman Plummer, ceramist of the State Geological Survey; sculpture by Loyal Frazier, Lawrence; a character doll by Ruth Gaynor Alley; book binding by Betty Schwart, instructor of design; and lithograph drawings by Max Ballinger, instructor in the graphic arts department at the University of Iowa.
Sculpture, wood carvings, pottery book binding, metal work, and jewelry made by University students are also on exhibit.
Three faculty members of the university department of design will give demonstrations tomorrow afternoon at the convention in Kansas City.
Arvid Jacobson, instructor in design, will demonstrate lithography; T. D. Jones, assistant professor of design, will exhibit his color machine; and Foco Frazier, instructor in design, will give a demonstration in sculpture.
Miss Marjorie Whitney, head of the design department, and Miss Maude Ellsworth, instructor in education, will also attend the convention.
Seattle — (UP) — The American motorist will have the choice of two radical and opposite automobile designs when the war is over and auto production resumes, according to Gilbert Rohde, New York industrial designer.
Vast Change In Post-War Auto
The first will be a faster, safer, simpler machine, with fenders swallowed up in the body, and the front end rounded so the automobile will shear off to the side instead of crumpling in a head-on collision.
According to Rhode, a consultant designer for Hudson Motor company, the family car of the future either will be a super-streamlined job with a rounded front or it will be a "box on wheels" built without axles.
The second type family auto will be a bi, comparatively slow vehicle, entirely axle-less. Although it is not a designer's dream, it will be ideal for the family that wants to take "half the household" on trips.
Miessner, member of the council of past presidents since 1924, presented his resolution from the floor of the Milwaukee convention. It was approved by the conference, and a copy transmitted immediately to President Roosevelt. The resolution, in part, reads:

Unity Through Music

This marks the second visit to the campus of Elmer A. Zilch. His visitation last year, impeded by a vast street demonstration in New York, Chicago, and Eudora, was hailed as the greatest event in Lawrence history since Quantrill's raid. The far-famed journalist had been in hiding in the mountain fastness of Tibet ever

Mueller was offered a place in the Army band if he would join the band at once, but he thought that he would rather come back and finish the school year and take a chance the position might be open when the year is over. "The officer in charge would not promise that there would still be a place for men then." Mueller said.
Time required to reach Washington from Lawrence was 36 hours, and the return trip was clipped off in 35 hours. Both trips were made in less time than could have been made by bus.
The trip to Washington was made under pleasant conditions with the exception that Mueller encountered snow at St. Louis, Mo. He also said that on his homeward trip the weather was rainy through the states of Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio.
His baggage when he started on the trip consisted of his horn case and a large traveling bag. In St. Louis, however, he sent the large bag on by express.
"The trip was fun," Mueller states, "hitch-hiking is a great life and the fellows with whom you ride usually ask you in to eat with them when meal time arrives."

Ballet Pleases
An excellent ballet opens the second act in the tavern of Lillas Pastia, hideout of a band of smugglers, of whom Carmen is one when she has nothing more profitable to do. She is cold to the toreader, and hot to the newly-released Jose, who seeks her out after having served

A wild spot in the mountains is the setting of the third act. Here the smugglers are encamped for the night and Carmen foretells her own death in the dramatic card-playing scene. She is now cold to Jose, but glows for tooread Escamillo. The two men fight, and Jose, learning that his mother is dying, leaves with Micela, bearer of the ill news.
A brilliant ballet danced to the Faradole from Bizet's "L'Arlesienne Suite," opens the last act on the square in Seville. Before admiring crowds, Escamillo, resplendent in pink and gold, and Carmen in dazzling white and gold, with her usual scarlet flower and fan, promise to plight their troth if he is victorious over the bull.
Escamillo enters the arena, the crowds follow. Carmen is sought out by Don Jose, and implored to return his love. She spurns him, and declares her fidelity to Escamillo. Overcome with jealousy and despair, Jose stabs Carmen as the cheering crowds acclaim the triumphant toreador. Exotic, vivacious Carmen has disdained love for the last time.
