MUSIC MIXED WITH BOOKS—Two students combine relaxation and studies while listening
to a variety of music in the Kansas Union Music Room. (Daily Kansan photo)
Intellects, Ivy Leaguers Like Music
All types of students from the pipe-smoking intellect with hornrimmed glasses to the ivy leaguer with crew-necked sweater and white buck loafers, may be found relaxing in the Music Room of the Kansas Union.
As music from Grieg's Concerto booms out over the high fidelity system, students read papers, magazines, and textbooks or sleep, talk, and smoke.
The room is lined with bookcases set in the wood-paneled walls and the floor is covered with beige, wall-to-wall carpeting. A mirrored post stands in the center of the room, touching the ceiling with its artificial white tree limb decorations.
On one side of the room is a bronze bust of T. S. Eliot, poet.
which was a gift of the KU Endowment Assn. On the other side is the Seebury selective recorded music system with a selection of rhapsodies, concertos, waltzes and symphonies.
A worn record index is on top of the music case, including such titles as Ravel's "Bolero," Verdi's "Grand March" From Aida, and Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata."
When asked why he liked to study in the music room Joseph Hanna. Dighton junior, said "I like to read and have good music to listen to. This room is a relaxing and informal
place to come and study. The only bad feature about it is the poor lighting."
Donna Jasper. Dighton senior said she found the music room a good place to study.
"Whenever I have a paper to write, I always do it in here. There aren't so many noises from outside and the music is relaxing."
Jaghawker yearbooks, current magazines and newspapers, and novels on history and travel, general literature, and social science are included in the array of reading material provided for students.
The Music Room is a feature of the Union especially for the student who wants a quiet and peaceful place to relax or study.

Pictorial Ideas On Display
Pictorial ideas, produced by a different use of fine arts tools and made in an illustration class, are on display in the Kansas Union south parlor.
Pictures were made by students in an illustration art class taught by Richard A. Schria, instructor of drawing and painting. Mr. Schira said illustration painting is an "attitude toward picture making."
The artist puts over an idea through the use of visual representatives which will be understood by the people he wishes to speak to, he said. Mr. Schira expained that the illustration artist works under restrictions and demands that other artists do not have, because he "aims his work at a certain audience."
Students whose work is displayed are:
Ronald E. Allerton of Hiawatha,
Gary L. Mowry of Kansas City, Mo.,
Lucy J. Remple of Lawrence, Date Slack of Wellington, seniors; Daniel S. Welchons of Hutchinson, James Gamper of Hiawatha, Robert J. Probst of Lawrence, juniors
The pictures will be in the Union at least a week.
