Ernie Fields Played for Negro Varsity
To the inspired music of Ernie Fields and his orchestra 420 colored students and their guests danced at the negro varsity from 10 to 2 a.m. Friday night in the Memorial Union building.
Fields and his 14-piece band alternated between "sweet swing" and a slow New Orleans blues style featuring Renee Hall, guitarist. One of the pieces, "Shadrach," was especially adapted to Field's type of presentation. The number featured the voice of soloist Melvin Moore against a choral background provided by band members.
The party, an annual affair, has been given the colored students as a compensation for the regular varsities. A sum is created each year from the student activity reserve fund for the party. The amount allotted this year was $200. Each of the 128 colored students was allowed to bring two guests.
Fields, who once played the piano but found he liked the trombone better, graduated from Tuscogee Institute, in Oklahoma, in 1925 as an engineer. Nine years later he had picked musicians from Tulsa, Kansas City, St. Louis, New Orleans, and New York and was already playing engagements in the East. He likes the South because it's warm, and his favorite band leader is Jimmie Lunceford.
Members of the committee in charge of the varsity were Bessie Jamison, c'40; Robert Clark, fa'ucl.; Lillian French, fa'41; and Curtis Burton, c'40.
Art Instructor To Give Lecture
An illustrated lecture on "Abstract Art and Industrial Design" will be given at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall by Frederick Kann, instructor of industrial design and commercial art at the Kansas City Art Institute.
Here as a guest of the department of design, Mr. Kann has had wide experience as artist, art director, and teacher in this country and abroad.
The speaker, who was born in Sudetenland, Germany, first studied architecture and painting in Munich and in Prague. He later went to Paris where he received his degree from the Sorbonne. He has taught in several of the leading Parisian schools and for four years was professor at the Ecole de l'Union des Arts Decoratif.
Because of his thorough training in the traditional schools of art, Mr. Kann is to be regarded as a legitimate exponent, not an imitator, of the contemporary abstract school of painting and sculpture.
Several of his paintings and one of his sculptures are now on exhibition in the department of design on the third floor of Frank Strong hall.
Palmer Refused Reinstatement
Robert N. Palmer, whose arrest or the charges of possession of liquor Feb. 7 has kept him from attending classes for the past two weeks, was refused re-instatement into the University by authorities yesterday.
Charges against Palmer, a graduate student who is working for a master's degree, were dropped on the grounds of insufficient evidence in a district court hearing Wednesday. His wife, Mrs. Wilma Palmer, was found guilty of the same charge in the hearing and is now serving a 30-day sentence in the Douglas county jail. She was also fixed $100.
Palmer has been seeking enrollment since the charges against him were dropped Wednesday.

ten by Johann Straus, known throughout the world for his compositions which capture the gay, carefree spirit of that European city.
Replaces Concert
The ballet group replaces the concert by Walter Gieseking, German pianist, which was originally planned for this time, but was cancelled because the foreign situation prevented the musician from leaving Europe. Season ticket holders may present their tickets to the Gieseking concert for admittance to the ballet program.
Student activity books will be honored upon presentation at the door. Reserved seats may be purchased at the office of the School of Fine Arts, Bell's Music store, or the Round Corner drug store.
