JIM TICE
Senior Writes Music For Original Ballet
Composer, artist, and author all rolled into one is a large order for one 25-year-old man, but Jim Tice, Kansas City, Kan. senior has all three to his credit.
For three years Tice has been working on the libretto, the music, story, and continuity of an original ballet, which he hopes to present at the University next year. "Solus," the ballet with modern music, is the cycle of spirit, taking a protagonist from birth through life.
Tice, who is majoring in journalism, attended Kansas City, Mo. Junior College, Kansas City, Kan. Junior College, and Kansas State College before entering the army medical corps in 1953. His tour of duty took him through Korea, Japan, Formosa, and Okinawa. He entered KU in the fall of 1955.
model. His grandfather, A. L. Tice, taught art for 30 years, and did portrait and biblical painting.
"Members of the drama faculty have discussed the possibility of the ballet being presented in the new music and dramatics building, and I have been discussing the choreography with Tau Sigma, the modern dance fraternity." Tice said.
In his spare time Tice writes fiction, some of it based on this Far Eastern experiences. For nearly four years he has been working on a novel, "The Siblings," which is the story of an upper middle class midwestern family.
His artistic talent Tice attribu- tutes to his talented family. His father is a commercial artist, his mother a fashion illustrator, and his sister a New York City fashion
I recently received the news that a national eastern magazine is interested in a number of my short stories and some of them should be published in the near future," he said.
His favorite authors are George Bernard Shaw, D. H. Lawerce, Ernest Hemingway, and John Steinbeck. When asked if he patterned his writings like any of theirs he replied, "I write like me."
An interest in art has helped Tice in his set and costume design for his ballet. He has also done a number of oil paintings and entertained professionally in Kansas City.

Central City is known for its two
hotels and opera house. The hotels, managed by Alberto Campione, are the Chain O'Mines and the Teller House. The hotels and the opera house are owned by the University of Denver but are supported by the Opera House Association.
BROWN
"Since there are no modern conveniences, and all the decorating is Victorian," Central City is a world of it's own" Brown said.
"You meet so many different people in Central City," Brown said. "There are the celebrities and performers in the opera house, students from all over the U.S. and the tourists."
The bar in the Teller House is famous for the poem, "The Face On the Bar Room Floor," which is actually painted on the floor. Each year an old miner comes into the bar to recite the poem.
For the past two summers, Brown has given tours of the Teller House. This year he will work as desk clerk until mid-summer and then become assistant to the manager.

During the two summers Brown has worked at the Teller House, he estimated that approximately 35.000 people have gone through the hotel on tours.

Maybe Chemistry Killed It Off
A KU sorority came to an end in 1951 but no one seems to know why. It was the Kalium chapter of Iota Sigma Pi, honorary chemical sorority.
The sorority was installed on November 29, 1924. The Daily Kansan said the dinner at which it was formally installed "was served with chemical apparatus and the flowers on the table were in a water bath on a tripod."
The meetings consisted of reports on individual research. Reviews of chemistry and history of science books also were given.
The fire hazards in the old Bailey Hall prompted the sorority in 1924 to ask the chemistry department to do something about them.
Famous KU Alumni
The sorority, whose national organization claims Mme. Curie as an honorary member, has some famous alumni from KU. Dr. Sybil Woodruff, 1916, the kuser of Lawrence C. Woodruff, dean of students, was national president o Iota Sigma Pi
in 1927. She has contributed many technical articles on foods to magazines.
Dr. Elvira Weeks, a graduate student in 1927, wrote a history of chemistry, "The Discovery of the Elements," which was popular both here and in Europe.
Harriet Gee, Ph.D., 1935, prepared the card index system for chemistry books at the National Research Council in Washington, D.C. She is now head of the Central Records Office, Parke Davis.
Lack Of Students
Mrs. Gladys Swope, once an employee of the State Board of Health, now works for the Atomic Energy Commission in Chicago, and Selma Gottlieb Kallis, Ph.D., 1927, now works for the State Department.
Dr. Arthur W. Davidson, professor of chemistry, believes the sorority stopped because there were not enough women graduate students enrolled in chemistry.
