Midweek Still Wednesday Affair; No Dance Tonight
By BETTY WEST Kansan Society Editor
A lot of nasty gossip has been going the rounds in the last two days to the effect that the coming Midweek would violate the time honored tradition of Wednesday midweeks, and take place on Tuesday. Carter Butler, c'41, president of the student Union Activities board, says the whole thing is a pack of lies, and that the midweek will be on Wednesday evening from 7 to 8 p.m. as usual with Clyde Bysom's orchestra officiating. The 200 stag limit will be enforced.

Artie Shaw Predicts New Type of Music
Hollywood, Oct. 4—(UP)—Out of the blaring brasses, the sobbing saxophones and the reedy clarinets of the modern dance hall will come a type of music that will take its place as a legitimate contribution to the world's music, believes Artie Shaw. The orchestra leader is so confident that a definite form of American music will grow out of the swing craze that he is sacrificing a large sum to offer a medium which can interpret any new developments in music.
"In my reorganized band," he said, "I have 22 musicians. I could get just as much money for a band of 14 musicians, but I would not have the instrumentation to play the better music of American composers.
Shaw estimates that by eliminating the eight additional musicians he could save about $1,000 a week in salaries, but he has the full band with him in Paramount's "Second Chorus," in which he is appearing with Paulette Goddard, Fred Astaire and Burgess Meredith.
An outstanding musical number of the show is a hot clarinet solo which Shaw composed. Written in any other rhythm and perhaps for a different instrument, it might technically be known as a concerto. At present it is at least popular music, although Shaw says it's not swing.
"But to get back to the band, I believe there is a world of good music, but no publisher wants it because he does not believe it is commercial. I do not mean good music in the sense that it is classical, but good music technically in the way that 'Body and Soul' is good music.
"Even publication is not enough for a composer. Their works must be performed to be recognized. George Gershwin probably would have remained unknown if it had not been for Paul Whiteman. I believe there are many unknown Gershwins. I want my band to be a place where these young people can bring their music to be performed."
"Frankly, I don't need to worry about making a living. That is the reason why I can expand my band, but if that expanded band may result in the discovery of a Gershwin, it will be worth everything."
Forty of the 75 eligible women on the campus attended the first meeting for the proposed graduate organization at the invitation of Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women.
The group expects to hold regular meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of each month in Miss Megular's office, 222 Frank Strong hall.
Miss Jane Willis was elected temporary chairman of the group. Members of the social committee are: Lois Aldous and Lillias Howard, co-chairman; Emily Jane Yount and Eleanor Gregory. On the group interests committee are Dorothy Pollock, chairman; Geneva Crawford, Evelyn DeGraw, Jean Lambert, and Barbara Owen.
The next meeting of the organization will be held Tuesday evening, October 15, at 7:30 o'clock. The question of affiliation with a national organization of graduate women will be discussed and plans for the entire year's activities will be announced. Refreshments will be served.

50 Students Given Residence Status
Fifty students from a list of 65 applicants whose petition were reviewed by the committee on residence have been granted residence status in compliance with the residence law of Kansas. Fifteen petitions were denied residential status.
The law requires that parents of all University students who are minors shall have lived in Kansas six months before enrolling and that all students more than 21 shall have established their residence by living in the state the required six-month period. No person may attain residence while attending school.
The most common denial concerns students over 21 who have not established legal residence, or minors whose parents have not lived in Kansas the required length of time. Students from Mission Hills are also frequent petitioners since they are registered from Missouri, their legal postal address, while they are Kansas residents.
In cases where there is doubt concerning a student's legal residence a petition must be filed by the student and reviewed by the committee before residential status is granted.
