Brubeck Combo Set
Chancellor to Kickoff Drive
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe's address to more than 200 Campus Chest campaign workers at a breakfast Saturday morning kicks off the campus charity drive to be climaxed with the Dave Brubeck Quartet's concert Feb. 19.
The goal for the week-long drive is $5.500. Douglas Mayor, Kansas City junior and general chairman, will introduce and preside at the breakfast.
DAVE BRUBECK'S Quartet is one of the outstanding jazz combos in the nation. For the past few years it has led all nation-wide polls in popularity.
The quartet was organized in 1951 when Paul Desmond, the featured sax player, joined with Brubeck. The other two members of the present group, Joe Morello, drums, and Gene Wright, bass, joined in 1956 and 1958.
In 1958 the quartet toured throughout western Europe, several countries behind the Iron Curtain, the Middle East and Asia for the State Department.
In Madras, India, the local newspaper said that the Brubeck concert "was much like a South Indian classical music concert except that the musical language was different. When the predominantly Hindu audience got over its initial surprise, it stamped and cheered just like a group of American hep cats."
BRUBECK AND his quartet are known for their creative approach to music. Brubeck studied music with the idea of becoming a composer shortly after World War II.
Mrs. Kennedy has moved the full-length portrait of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge to a wall in the historic red room. The painting of Grace Coolidge in a long red velvet dress standing beside a white wolfhound dominates the silk damask walled room.
Mrs. Kennedy had to take down a picture of William McKinley when she put up the portrait of Mrs. Coolidge. McKinley's portrait now hangs on a wall in the ground floor corridor.

"It is difficult to feel frustrated about composing when it is possible with the quartet to be creative night after night. To me, the quartet is an integrated instrument consisting of four individual soloists, each of whom is a performer-composer in his own right.
Two other paintings Mrs. Kennedy has put up in the red room are portraits of Thomas Jefferson and Zacaryn Taylor. The Jefferson portrait replaced a painting of Woodrow Wilson and the Taylor picture took the place of a Grover Cleveland likeness.
Mrs. Kennedy also moved a portrait of Harry S. Truman from a wall in the green room to the head of the staircase because she "thought he would like it there." The change required shifting Andrew Jackson's portrait to a wall in the lobby.

Might Be a Record?
For the second time in ten years, Neil Larsen, a University press printer, missed work because of sickness. No one around the plant could remember when Larsen had last missed work, but a close check of the records showed that he had missed a day and a half in the last ten years.
Registration Open for Model UN Countries
Delegations for 29 nations have signed up in the first two days of registration for the Model United Nations Assembly, April 14 and 15.
George Bennett, Lawrence senior and head of the steering committee for the model assembly, said that "if registration keeps going like this we will be out of countries by Saturday. Registration started Tuesday and is scheduled to continue until Feb. 18. There are 99 countries in the UN.
THOSE INTERESTED IN signing up as the head of a delegation should do so at the KU-Y office in the Kansas Union. The registration fee is $5.
Bennett said that all students are invited to participate. Only delegation leaders are required to sign up but that there must be three or four members in each delegation.
Sessions will be held all day Friday and Saturday morning.
Three international problems will be discussed in the one and one-half day event. Issues which will be debated in the Friday session will concern the international problems of Cuba and the Congo. The problem to be discussed in the Saturday morning session will not be announced until Friday afternoon.
BENNETT SAID THAT students who register as representatives of a country will receive a list of references and other information on the Cuban and Congo situations.
He said that they will also receive press releases on three problems, one of which will be the subject of the Saturday discussion.
The individual delegations will be given the opportunity to submit resolutions on the Cuban and Congo problems three or four weeks in advance of the session. The steering committee will then meet and select one resolution for each of the two problems.
After the selected resolution has been announced the delegations can submit amendments which will also
be considered by the steering committee. Amendments of the same nature will be combined and the final resolutions and amendments will be announced several days in advance of the start of the session.
The model session will be held in Hoch Auditorium. Last year was the first time the session was held at KU.
THE RESOLUTION ON the problem selected for Saturday's debate will be selected Friday afternoon. The delegations can then submit their resolutions to the steering committee which will act on them later that night.
A speaker for the opening of the session has not been selected. Bennett said that they are seeking a speaker of national reputation. The speaker at last year's assembly was former President Harry S. Truman.
Committee Picking Teacher for Award
The H. Bernerd Fink award of $1,000 for distinguished teaching at the University will be presented during commencement week to a faculty member now being selected by a committee appointed by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe.
Nominations were made earlier to department chairmen who then gave them to the deans of their respective schools. The deans were allowed to submit names of three faculty members.
Mr. Fink was graduated from the School of Business in 1932. This is the first year for the award.
