Pianist Climbs to Carnegie Hall After Years Under Nazis, Russians
A KU faculty member who has lived under both Nazi and Communist regimes will leave early in November for a 4-city concert tour on which she will be solo pianist with the Mexico City Symphony Orchestra.
Mrs. Angelica Morales von Sauer, visiting associate professor of piano, will open the tour in Kansas City on Nov. 7. She is performing in the concerts at the invitation of the Mexican government, and will play Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto in each of the four cities.
Other stops on the tour will be at Chicago on Nov. 9, Detroit on Nov. 12, and the final one in New York on Nov. 23 in Carnegie Hall. Prof. von Sauer began study of the piano at an early age and won a scholarship from the Mexican government when she was nine years old. She made her debut in Berlin four years later.

Potential Bull Fighter Returns With Souvenir
Vernon W. Hinkle, Lawrence junior who roared off in his car to fight Mexico City bulls last summer, drove back into Lawrence this week for a brief stay.
Hinkle, who was a first Lieutenant in the paratroopers from 1952 to 1956, was on his way to Fort Benning, Ga., where he will attend a four-month Associate Company Grade Officers Course. He said he planned to be back at the University next September.
He carried a bota in hand and proved to his university friends that he knew how to handle one better than anyone else around.
"Don't touch your lips and don't let it run down your chin," he encouraged friends trying to use the blackjack-shaped, leather wine bag.
When the bota is squeezed, it forces a stream of liquid to shoot through the air. The holder simply tips the pouch, opens his mouth, squeezes, and drinks of the liquid which squirts forth.
Meets Americanos
Hinkle spent most of his time in San Miguel de Allende, about 125 miles north of Mexico City. It has a population of 19,000 of which 200
are "Americanos." he said.
He admits he didn't kill any bulls, but he had a grand time.
"You have to shell out a lot of pesos to get started in the bull fighting racket," Hinkle said, "for before you are good enough to fight as a professional, you have to buy your own bulbs and pay a matador for training."
As for San Miguel de Allende, it was fiesta month. It takes three days to start, three days to end, and lasts a month. Hinkle said.
People Come From All Over
People from all over Mexico come to celebrate and watch the fireworks, bull fights, and Indian dances, he said.
The city is noted for its art institute and most of the Americans are artists of one kind of another, he added.
Because of the historical significance to the city, the Mexican government sees that the face of the city is not altered. Hinkle said. It is against the law to change the cobblestones in the streets or on the front of the buildings.
For each credit hour of any course in the University the student is expected to devote himself to work for three hours each week, either in the classroom, laboratory, or in outside preparation.

friends over the Nazi oppressions," she said, "but I had my musical studies. I could not have gone through it without my music."
The Russians came in 1945 and helped themselves to her furniture, she said. From April to August of 1945 she had no access to meat, vegetables, or fresh fruits.

Value of Clubs Topic for SAM
Richard Muther, executive director of Richard Muther Associates, a management consultant firm, will speak on "The Value of Campus Organizations" at a dinner for the Society for the Advancement of Management at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 11 in the Kansas Union.
Mr. Muther, who is national director of SAM, has just returned from West Germany where he was doing consulting work for German industry.
authorities, she returned to Mexico in 1946 and has since divided her time among America, Europe, and Mexico. She came to the KU staff in 1955.
The KU chapter of SAM, which won several awards for membership growth last year, will officially close its membership drive Tuesday. Meetings, since the start of the semester, have been open, but will be closed after Tuesday.
A pilot group of 55 juniors are currently enrolled in a revised program for a bachelor of science degree in Business.
Prof. von Sauer's coming tour is only another of many for her.
"I adore them all," she said. "It is important for a teacher to tour and continue to play. We must keep working so we can discover and cope with problems our students will have to know about as future performers."
Practice 5 Hours Daily
When asked to compare European and American audiences, Prof. von Sauer said there is not much difference. New York audiences and music critics are as discerning and have as much knowledge of music as any in Europe, she said.
She said it is necessary to practice four or five hours a day to prepare for a concert tour, and to continue to practice while on tour between each city.
"Every performance is a new battle to win." Prof. von Sauer said. "It is nothing but work, hard work. There is always the risk of falling to keep with the conductor and the orchestra. It must all be worked out in rehearsals—if there is time."
