Strained String Strains Haunt
Thursday. Nov. 17. 1900
By Martha Moser
THE ORCHESTRA clinics are composed of music education and musical therapy majors who have taken a fundamental course in stringed instruments. The students learn to play three major groups of instruments: brass and percussion, woodwind and strings.
Students passing Bailey Hall in the late afternoon are puzzled by the drifting sounds of weird refrains sounding more haunted than haunting.
Following these strained strains, an investigation would take the curious individual to the third floor of Bailey Hall and to room 310A. A peek through the foreboding door reveals a room arranged half-circularly on three levels. In front a student waves a wand and 40 figures around him respond by rasping bows across stringed instruments.
This is the KU orchestra clinic.
Nan Scammond, Tarkio, Mo. sophomore, said, "We don't learn to play every instrument. We learn to play one or two in each group."
PRATT — (UPI) — A shortage of quail may force closing of the hunting season Nov. 29 in 42 eastern Kansas counties, according to Dave Leahy, director of the Forestry. Fish and Game Commission.
Quail Shortage Limits Season
Leahy began telephoning members yesterday to learn their reaction to such a move. He said numerous sportsmen's groups have suggested closing the season early in order to preserve coveys.
The season opened Nov. 11 and was due to close Dec. 10 in all counties. The new closing date was tentatively set at Nov. 29 because it would take until then to publish proper legal notices.
This teaches us the fundamentals of each group and helps us to teach the other instruments."
Joanne Randall, Aberdeen, S. D., sophomore, said, "The orchestra clinic allows the student to become familiar with the difficulties of playing an instrument in a group. Then when we're teaching we can better understand students problems, as we've experienced some of the frustrations ourselves."
Leahy said the proposal is to halh guail hunting in all counties where pheasant hunting is not permitted.
MISS RANDALL said that the clinic is also designed to teach students to conduct.
This would include Marshall, Netatawatomie, Jackson, Atchison Leavenworth, Wyandotte, Geary Wabaunsee, Shawnee, Douglas Johnson, Morris, Lyon, Osage Franklin, Miami, Marion, Chase Coffey, Anderson, Linn, Sedgwick Butler, Greenwood, Woodson, Allen Bourbon, Sumner, Cowley, Elk Chautaqua, Wilson, Cherokee, Neosho, Crawford, Montgomery, and Labette.

"By leading other students who
are learning to play instruments, we get the experience of conducting beginning groups."
International Club Meeting
Explaining the mystery behind the odious tones, Miss Rendall said. "We're just beginners. Although we basically get the right pitch, the tone quality is so poor it makes horrible noises."

Surge of Absentee Ballots Gives California to Nixon
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — (UPI)—Republicans claimed California for Richard M. Nixon today on the strength of a last-minute surge of absentee ballots that wiped but a 35,000 vote lead once held by president-elect Kennedy
With only a few thousand votes remaining to be counted out of a total of more than 6.4 million cast, Nixon's lead was so slim the final results may depend on an official canvass and certification due by mid-December from the Secretary of State's office.
IF NIXON finally is awarded California's 32 electoral votes, it will have no bearing on Kennedy's election. But jubilant Republicans hailed Nixon's last-minute comeback as further proof he cannot be overlooked as a Presidential prospect in 1964 and possibly a candidate for governor in his home state in 1962.
The loss of California would cut Kennedy's electoral vote total to 300-31 more than the majority of 269 needed for election. The electoral votes will be cast in the 50 state capitals Dec. 15.

In the nationwide popular vote, with more than 99 per cent of the votes tallied, it appeared that neither Kennedy nor Nixon had

won an absolute majority. Kennedy was leading Nixon by 247,579 out of 67,898,394 votes counted, but he had only 49.87 per cent of the total vote. Nixon had 49.50 per cent, and others 0.63 per cent.
PATRICK J. HILLINGS, chairman of the GOP in Los Angeles County, telegraphed the news to Nixon and urged him to run for governor against the Democratic incumbent, Edmund G. Brown, in 1962.
Hillings said he would try to arrange a meeting between the Vice President and top GOP state and county leaders to impress on Nixon "the necessity for his continuing on as the Republican national leader."
