Music Pours Into Campusfor Contest
The School of Fine Arts hoped for an enthusiastic response last September when it announced that it would provide a 4-day symposium for unpublished, unperformed compositions.
The works came from composers in 30 states of all ages and descriptions.
It did not, however, anticipate the avalanche of mail that deposited 242 works at its door.
"Much of the music is outstanding. The urge to compose runs the gamut of background and experience," said Dr. John Pozdro, symposium chairman.
"The response to our invitation clearly shows the vital work that is being accomplished by young composers all over the nation.
"We hope to encourage these gifted people not only through performance but by providing a lively atmosphere for the exchange of creative ideas," he said.
Almost all the composers said they would attend the April 6-9 Mid-America Symposium if their works were selected for performance.
A School of Fine Arts faculty committee is eliminating the scores to the best 40 or 50. They will be presented in morning, afternoon, and evening sessions.
Presbyterian Center Ready at Christmas
The new $273,618 United Presbyterian Student Center at 12th and Oread will be ready for use by Christmas.
"We plan to have everything completed and all the furniture moved in before January," said John P. Feighner, Wellsville senior, student moderator of the KU Westminster Foundation.

Orchestra works will be performed by a student-faculty orchestra augmented by 15 professional musicians from the Kansas City Philharmonic. String quartets will be played April 8 by the Fine Arts Quartet.
Burrill Phillips, chairman of the University of Illinois department of composition, will lead forums and discussions.
The orchestra work judged the most outstanding will be promoted through a wide distribution of recording and score among influential directors.
Prof. Phillips is the author of 13 half-hour radio programs entitled "The Composer in the World of Today."
All performances will be in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building and will be open to the public. Evening performances will be broadcast over KANU.
There are now about 15,000 motor courts and motels in the U.S.
An exhibition of "Photographs of Angkor Wat," sponsored by the department of architecture, will be on display on the third floor of Marvin Hall until Friday.
Cambodian Ruins In Photo Display
The exhibition is being circulated throughout the country by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. Included are 132 black and white photographs.
The monuments of Angkor Wat are located in the jungles of Cambodia and reflect the splendor of the Khmer Empire of the 9th to 13th centuries. French scholars have restored the monuments.
Angkor Wat is an Asian contemporary of the Notre Dame de Paris and the Ely and Lincoln cathedrals of England.
The Angkor ruins tell of structures conceived on a more spacious scale than anything in the Western world. Angkor Wat alone is bounded by a rectangular moat two hundred yards wide and almost a mile square.
