Wednesday, October 9,1968 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5 First Negro pledge would 'do it again' Willie McDaniel, Haines City, Fla., junior, made KU history by pledging Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity last spring. The first Negro in a white fraternity at KU says he feels nonchalant about his living situation. "It just doesn't worry me. I just live," said McDaniel, who grew up in an all-black community and attended all-black schools until coming to KU for pre-med courses. "I don't feel like a white boy, but I don't feel that somebody's always looking at me, either. I don't get any special privileges in the house. It doesn't seem all that different from Joseph R. Pearson (residence hall)," said McDaniel, who is a member of Owl Society. Yet McDaniel said he wasn't completely unapprehensive last spring. "But now I feel as comfortable in the house as I possibly could." he said. He said the black reaction at KU to his pledging was mostly positive. "There were very few negative comments," McDaniel said. However, McDaniel emphasized that he doesn't regret his decision. "If it happened all over again, I'd do the same thing. I pledged as Willie McDaniel, not as a Negro," he said. THINK Think for a moment what it would mean to you if you could read 3 to 10 times faster than you do now. Think of all the free time you would have. Think how it would be if you could improve your study habits and learn to recall material you have read whenever you wanted to. Think how your grade point average would improve. Think how great it would be if you could breeze through a novel in 2 hours, or a magazine in 20 minutes . . . without skipping a single word. Think about taking the Reading Dynamics Course this semester. It will let you do all the things we've just mentioned and more. It's worth thinking about.

'Cabbage Waltz' headlines music at first lecture Wesley Foundation Building 1314 Oread Road Lawrence, Kansas (913) V13-6424 The "Cabbage Waltz" was a highlight of Nicolas Sloninsky's lecture on "New Music in a New World" last night at the University Theatre. Playing the letters of the word C, A, B, B, A, G and E, the result was a light waltz-like tune. Sloninsky, former instructor at the Boston Conservatory of Music, was the first lecturer of the 22nd Annual Humanities Lecture Series this year. He demonstrated his waltz and other methods of modern musical interpretation in the world today. "Mathematical or computer music is not new," he said. "Non-musical association has been common since the beginning of history." Sloninsky also said in modern music, rhythm is of no real importance. He demonstrated how easily the melody of a song can be distorted by multiplying the intervals of the notes, thus making a Chinese tone. Another method he described was making all the notes completely atonal. In this way, all notes are different. "Atonal music is very good for the illustration of modern states of mind such as Freudian complexes and the like," Sloninsky said. Reading rescheduled Russian poet Ingor Chinnov will read selections from his works in Russian and English at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 24 in the Kansas Union Forum Room. Chinnov was originally scheduled to open the SUA Poetry Hour series, said Jeff Lough, Salina sophomore and Poetry Hour chairman. However, the date was postponed because Edward English is speaking today, Lough said.
