Prof. Waldo Geltch, Violinist Will be Concert Master This Year
"We have promise of one of the best orchestra K. U. has ever had," said Prof. Edward F. Kurtz, director, this morning. "The string section is going to be exceptionally strong, due both to the return of some good men in this section from last year, and some exceptionally good new material."
"We are especially in need of two or three trumpet players and a couple trombones. Tryouts will be held by appointment for these places, and we hope to have them filled by the last of the week."
A Strong Viola Section
The orchestra this year will contain for viola, which, according to Professor Stuart Coquénna this size of orchestra. A rare feature for this year is the presence of three French horns among the instruments. "Last year we had only one French horn," said Professor Kurtz, "and we were compelled to let other instruments make up for their parts; but this year we will be well prepared with violas and basses are also very strong."
Rehearsals will not begin until all necessary players are secured, which will possibly be early next week.
Will Give Two Concerts
"It is customary for the orchestra to give two concerts, one at the end of each semester," said Professor Kurtz, "and this year we intend that the first one shall be made up entirely of classics, and the second of modern compositions.
Strengthened by Professor Geltch
"We also plan to play at the annual All-University concert, and hope to make on or two trips during the year." (Ironically, the orchestra was well received.)
NUMBER
Prof. Waldo Geltch, violinist, a new member of the Fine Arts faculty, will be concert master of the orchestra, and he thinks this will greatly strengthen it.
A unique feature of the first concert this year will be a solo part played by Professors Kurtz and Geltch, "Concerto For Two Volumes" by Bach, with the entire orchestra playing an accompaniment.

When a survey of the camping grounds throughout the state was taken it was found that many of the campers had little to offer in the way of health and comfort to the tourist. The water of most of the camping places was found to contain organisms dangerous to the health of the traveller, and the tourists went away from Kankan anything but a feeling of welcome.
