Lights Disappear Quickly
by Elizabeth Rhodes
Christmas lights are going out on the KU campus at the rate of two to three hundred a night, and will remain out, said Leo Ousdahl; assistant physical plant supervisor.
By the time Christmas decorations come down thousands are expected to be missing, Ousdahl said.
THEFT IS BLAMED for the blackout. Most of the bulbs disappear from outdoor displays on Hoch Auditorium, Strong Hall, Watkins Hospital, and the Kansas Union. Ousdahl said.
Also losing lights in the Christmas tree in the Strong Hall rotunda. Ornaments are taken, and loss of both has been as high as thirty daily, Ousdahl said. Approximately 150 feet of lights cover the tree.
Missing lights and ornaments were replaced until Wednesday, but this practice was discontinued because of cost and time involved, Ousdahl said.
Theft of Christmas decorations has occurred every year, and one year 800 lights were lost in one night, according to Ousdahl
"Just a very small percentage of students are believed involved," he added.
Philharmonic Plays In University Theatre
An added attraction to KU's Concert Course will be the Kansas City Philharmonic appearing today at 8:20 p.m. in the University Theatre,
Hans Schwieger, musical director, has been at the helm of the orchestra for 18 years, over half of its 33-year history. Beginning with the major post of general musical director of the Mainz Opera House in Germany as a young man of 25, with the advent of the Hitler regime he left Germany.
COMING TO the United States he was associated with the founding of the Southern Symphony at Columbia, S.C. Moving to Ft. Wayne, Ind., he helped guide its orchestra to maturity. He is frequently called as guest conductor with recent appearances (in Robin Hood Dell series) in Milwaukee, Honolulu and his native Germany.
In addition to the regular subscription series
given in downtown Kansas City, the Philharmonic has instituted two completely, new specialized concert series. One of the innovations is the highly successful "Connoisseur Concerts" which explore both modern music and seldomheard works from past ages for a young and curious audience. Last season 44 concerts were played before a total of over 84,000 children in the Kansas City area.
Today's connoisseur concert will consist of Three Places in New England by Charles Ives, Symphony in Three Movements by Stravinsky, Benjamin Lee's Symphony No.2 and Sensemaya by Silvestra Revueltas.
The program is in cooperation with the Rockefeller Foundation. All tickets are only 75c and are available at the Murphy Hall Box Office and the Bell Music Co. Student ID's do not admit.
He Collects Dictionaries??
By Mike Pretzer
Dan Fraker, Garnett freshman, collects dictionaries. He has nearly 50 of them.
"I had to buy my 47th dictionary this fall," Fraker said laughingly. "It didn't occur to me that
I might need one for KU English."
FRAKER began his dictionary collection when he was in junior high school. His grandfather gave him a leather-bound dictionary, valued at $150, for his birthday.
He said he never made a conscientious effort to collect dictionaries until he obtained a 5,000 page Webster's Unabridged Dictionary from a country school that closed because of school consolidation.
UHRC Form Unreturned In Confusion
Confusion is non-discriminatory, as six diverse campus groups can testify.
Laurence Woodruff, dean of students, reported yesterday that six organizations had not returned the anti-bias forms required by the Board of Regents. University recognition was withdrawn from the groups:
Subsequent checking reveals that—
PI LAMBDA Theta, Pi Sigma Alhpa, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Psychology Club, Bah'i Club, and Young Americans for Freedom (YAF).
Three of the organizations mailed the forms yesterday after it was brought to their attention in the Kansas.
YAF NEVER RECEIVED the form and will promptly sign and return when it does, according to a group spokesman.
