will conduct. Above, from left to right are Edward Masters, assistant professor of band and orchestra; Ciella J. Anderson, Fort Scott senior; Sylvester Heath, Kansas City, Kan., senior, and Gary C. White, Minneapolis sophomore.
KUOK-TV Makes Debut Before Capacity Crowds
Beneath glaring lights and amidst a maze of over $22,000 worth of cameras, monitors and other equipment, KU's first television program was broadcast in Room 205 Flint Hall.
A 10-minute newcastle was presented twice Thursday afternoon for students in Speech 1. Capacity crowds of over 160 watched both performances.
Gorton Work To Be Given
Dean Thomas Gorton of the School of Fine Arts will conduct the San Antonio Symphony orchestra's premiere performance of his Symphony No. 1 in a concert Friday, Jan. 18 in San Antonio, Tex.
The orchestra, regularly led by Victor Alessandro, will pay Dean Gorton's composition at the regular subscription concert and at a concert Jan. 19 at Lackland Air Force Base.
Dean Gorton will address a meeting of KU alumni in the San Antonio area Thursday night.
This will be the first complete performance of Dean Gorton's work by a professional orchestra. Mr. Alessandro became acquainted with it while here last summer for a week's assignment in the Midwestern Music Camp.
RoomApplications Now Being Taken
The dormitory, which houses 40 men, is located under the east side of Memorial Stadium. Room and board is $276 a semester, and all meals are taken at the Varsity House, 1043 Indiana St. Mr. and Mrs. James Crouch are the directors of McCook.
The Housing Office is taking second semester applications for McCook Hall.
Also available are rooms in private homes for men or women. Information on other dormitory space will be announced later.
The technical phase of the production, directed by Paul Culp, Overland Park senior, was regarded as more important than the newcast in the exhibition of TV broadcasting methods. The newscaster, Bill Harmon, Topeka senior, was usually all but obscured by lights, camera and crew, but the broadcast could be watched on a television set in front of the audience.
Could Hear Instructions
Thursday's demonstration was realistic even to the commercials. Photographic "stills" of news events were used as a device to show some of the technical phases of a TV newscast.
The newscaster's voice was not amplified so that the audience could hear the instructions from the director to cameramen and other crew members:
The pictures, newscaster, program titles and the commercial were covered by two cameras operated by John Stephens, Stafford, and Dee Richards, Lawrence, both seniors.
Before and after the broadcast Bruce Linton, associate professor of speech and journalism, discussed some problems of a telecast and the planning behind each production.
As a crowd-pleaser the cameras were pointed at the audience after the regular show, allowing the students to see how they might appear on television.
Victor Hyden, instructor of speech and drama, then told the group about some technical and advertising aspects of TV.

Oratory, Debate Assembly Given
The public speaking division of the department of speech and drama demonstrated oratory, debate and speech communication in Bailey Auditorium Thursday.
Introducing the last in a series of four assemblies sponsored by the department, William Conboy, assistant professor of speech and drama and chairman of the department, described the psychology of the spoken work and its historical meaning in our society. He presented Heywood Davis, Lawrence second year law student, who told of the critical history of speech communication from Plato to the present.
A description of the impact of speech on history was given by E. C. Buchler, professor of speech and drama and director of forensics. He read portions of some significant speeches in world history.
He stressed the importance of speeches as uttered and heard in such historical situations as the verbal reactions heard after the formulation of the Constitution of the United States.
Another department function, debate, was outlined by Kim Giffin, associate professor of speech and drama and debate coach. He described debate as a mass appeal to make attractive a line of argumentation.
To demonstrate this, he called upon University debaters Ray Nichols, Lawrence freshman and Ralph Seger, Topeka junior, who gave brief debates.

One More Hurdle-Finals And They're On Their Way
Ski equipment has been taken down from the attic and suitcases are being packed as 70 students make early preparations for the annual KU-Y ski trip to Winter Park, Colo., Jan. 24-28.
"Skiing isn't as dangerous as many people believe, said Vermillion.
Although they will not be skiing on the slopes for two weeks, many of the students claim that they are already stiff and sore from taking the prescribed ski exercises for strengthening leg muscles.
"IIf I need these exercises to learn how to ski, then I don't mind being sore," Peggy Heller, Coffeyville, junior, said. "I've never been near a ski slope in my life, but I've always wanted to ski, and this is my chance."
During the last two years, 210 students have gone on the ski trip and we have only had one injury. That was last year when a student cracked an ankle bone."
'Will Be Relaxing'
"Skiing is going to be very relaxing after finals," said Martha Maxwell, Coubus junior, who is a veteran of last year's ski trip. "Several of us are taking along uklelees and harmonicas. After skiing all day we ought to have a good song-fest in the ski lodge."
"What I enjoy most about skiing, is the thrill of going down a hill at 30 or 40 miles per hour on two wooden slats." Dale Vermillion, Goodland junior, said.
Instructors for the skiers will be KU foreign students who have had skiing experience. The instructors are Helga Seidler, Austria, Hanssen Serck, Norway, Karlowe Kohler, Sweden, Fabio Carniel, Italy, Fredrikke Lunde, Norway and Werner Schrotta, Austria. All are graduate students.
Skied Since I Was 3
"In Norway we say that all children must learn how to walk on skis." Miss Serck said, "I have been skiing since I was three years old, but this will be the first time I have ever taught skiing."
Shuttle Bus Service At Concert Monday
Free shuttle bus service will be provided for patrons of the third Concert Course presentation Monday from the Allen Field House parking area to Hoch Auditorium.
