Berlioz' Requiem To Be Given May 5
The first Lawrence performance of Hector Berlioz" "Requiem Grande Messe des Morts," will be given as part of the annual KU Fine Arts Festival at 3:30 p.m., Sunday, May 5 in Hoch Auditorium.
The Berlioz work will be performed under the direction of Clayton Krehbiel, assistant professor of music education, by a chorus of over 300 voices and a 150-piece orchestra. P. A. Davison Jr., instructor in voice, will be the tenor soloist.
The chorus will include the A' Cappella Choir, the University Chorus and choral groups from the Lawrence community. Musicians from the Lawrence area will play in the University Symphony.
Berlioz, a French composer of the early 19th century, composed the Requiem, with its nine movements, for a large orchestra, four small hands and a chorus of over 300 voices. *
The Requiem, Director Krehbiel said, is seldom done because of the hure forces it requires. He added that Bertlioz, who is known generally for his orchestration and skillful use of huge numbers, never overwhelms the audience.
Other events scheduled for the Fine Arts Festival are the performance of a twin bill of operas,
"Trouble in Tahiti" by Bernstein,
and "Gianni Schicchi" by Pucic,
April 28 through May 1, an
exhibit of paintings by John
Steuart Curry and a lecture by
Arthur Kraft, American sculptor
and painter, May 2.
Also scheduled are a concert May 6 by the University of Kansas String Quartet; the annual Young American Artist recital Tuesday, May 7, by Paul Parmelee, pianist; a concert May 8 by the A Cappella Choir and the performance May 9 of the East High School orchestra of Wichita.

'Need For Strong Local Politics'
The rapid growth of metropolitan areas predicated for the next 25 years and its problems call for stronger local political organizations. Dr. Hugo Wall said Thursday.
Dr. Wall, chairman of the department of political science at Wichita University, addressed 75 city managers and city manager-interns at the tenth annual City Managers' School which began Wednesday.
Dr. Wall said that with the tremendous growth of metropolitan areas, regional problems will arise. Strong political parties around which the voters will rally are the best means for preventing fragmentation of administration, he said. The fragmentation would be caused by the resurgence of area organizations performing independently, with no group planning or coordination of activities, he said.
The city manager's role is that of a generalist coordinating the activities of many specialists and acting as the link between the citizens of a community and the specialists who serve them, Dr. Wall said.
