Symphony to Give Concert on Tuesday
Blues, a patriotic overture, Tschaikovsky's popular concert, and "the greatest score the University symphony ever performed" will comprise the program presented by the symphony orchestra at its spring concert at 8 o'clock next Tuesday night in Hoch auditorium, Karl Kuersteiner, director of the symphony, announced today.
"St. Louis Blues," a truly American number which Kuersteiner believes "has something permanent," will furnish the theme for an elaborate choral-symphonic presentation in which the modern choir and the full orchestra will perform. In with the blues theme is woven original music composed by Clarence Peterson, director of the med.
ern choir.
Probably the most difficult number the symphony has ever attempted, according to a statement by Kuersteiner, is "Death and Transfiguration," by Richard Strauss, which will be a part of the concert Tuesday. This well-known symphonic poem "may be considered one of the finest examples of musical narrative," Kuersteiner said. It is a number seldom played by amateur organizations.
The popular "Piano Concerto" by Tschaikovsky will be played by Bernard McNown, fine arts senior, at the piano, with an orchestral accompaniment. This is the piece which hit juke boxes from coast to coast after Mary Astor brought it into the common limelight by performing it in the movie, "The Great Lie." McNown played an excellent senior recital, and this is one of his best numbers, Kuersteiner said.
Opening the program will be the "American Festival Overture," composed by Dr. W. O. Miessner, professor of education and public school music. Tuesday night will be the first time the overture has been performed on the Hill during the regular session of the University. It was played for the first time here during the summer music camp.
More than 100 persons will take part in the symphony's spring presentation.

Art Fraternity Searches For Hidden Talent
Delta Phi Delta, national honorary art fraternity, is making a search for hidden talent in the first All-University Art Parade which will be held in the lounge of the Memorial Union building April 19 to May 2. The purposes of the exhibit are to stimulate the production of original works of art by University students and to stimulate a greater interest in art among all students at the University.
The contest will be open to all members of the schools and departments of the University except to faculty members in the departments of art and architecture. Undergraduate students, graduate students, and other faculty members are eligible to submit entries. Students in design and painting may enter work which they have done without supervision.
Judges will probably consist of faculty members selected by Delta Phi Delta. Each entry will be judged according to standards of excellence and not on a competitive basis. Ribbons will be placed on each entry which merits the level of achievement designated.
Popularity awards will be based on balloting conducted at the formal opening. Entry blanks may be handed in at the main desk in the Union building or at the office of the department of design in Frank Strong hall.

Kansas Teachers Meet Here April 10
The Kansas Speech Teachers' Association will hold its spring meeting April 10 and 11 at the University. The association will discuss new methods and equipment for teaching. The president, Mr. L. A. Stafford of Ottawa high school, will send out the program for the meeting at the end of the week.
The teachers will be asked to register at the Memorial Union building immediately on arrival. Friday evening an informal dinner will be held at 6:30 in the Kansas room. After dinner, the play, "Mrs. Moonlight," is to be presented. Later the group will meet for coffee and visiting.
All speakers will be Kansans, since it is desirable to keep the group exclusively from Kansas. Besides the valuable information gained through attending these meetings, the teachers have a chance to become better acquainted with their associates.
