Memorial Carillon Chimes Cheerfully
By Hector Olave
The sound is well-known to everyone in the campus community. Each 15 minutes, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., the music of 53 bells marks the passing of time. The sound tolls from the University of Kansas World War II Memorial Carillon, widely recognized as one of the world's finest.
Albert Gerken, KU's cariloneur and instructor of music theory, is performing recitals this fall semester on Wednesdays at 7 p.m., Saturdays after football games, and Sundays at 3 p.m. Gerken, who offered similar concerts last summer, will play classical pieces especially arranged for carillon.
THE WORLD WAR II Memorial Carillon, constructed by the John Taylor Co. of Loughborough during 1950 and 1951, was built by donations from alumni and friends of the University and private organizations.
More than 8,000 persons contributed $343,000 to the combined memorial projects. Of these, some 1,200 gave $100 or more and are listed on the rolls of the Memorial Association as "Bell Ringers."
In February 1945, a group of alumni, faculty and students met to consider ways the University might commemorate the contributions of its sons and daughters to the world conflict that claimed the lives of 276 of them.
THAT WAS THE birth of the carillon that today, 20 years later, stands atop Mount Oread, looking northward over the Kaw River Valley. Its base is 105 feet above the ground level of Memorial Stadium. The tower itself rises 120 feet from a base 22 feet, nine inches in diameter.
At the top are the 53 tuned bells. The largest weighs nearly 7 tons, and the smallest, about 10 pounds. The total cost of the bells was $73,600.
KU Will 'Meet the Press' At Editor's Day Saturday
By Nancy Painter
Kansas editors will lay down copy pencils and forget deadlines to convene Saturday at KU's annual Editor's Day.
IN THE FIELD of journalism education, he has served as president of the Association for Education in Journalism and the American Society of Journalism School Administrators.
More than 200 newsmen and members of Kansas Press Women and their husbands will begin the day's activities with a coffee hour in Flint Hall. Editors will then gather to informally discuss problems and interests at a "Wrangle Session."
He is known in the newspaper and magazine publishing world by his participation in Sigma Delta Chi, a men's professional journalism society.
PRESIDING over this discussion program at 9:30 a.m. in Room 205 of Flint Hall will be Kenneth J. Powell. He is the president of the Kansas Press Association and editor of the "Southwest Times" of Liberal, Kan.
Making his first public appearance as new dean of KU's School of Journalism will be Dr. Warren K. Agee. He will speak at the 10:30 a.m. session also to be held in Room 205 in Flint.
Until recently, Dean Agee was dean of the Evening College at
Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, Tex.
Selection of the 49th journalist to the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame will be announced at this mid-morning session. Kansas editors serving the trade 25 years or more, make the selection from their associates who have been deceased three years or more.
LAST YEAR, A. Q. Miller was named to the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame. He was editor of the Belleville Telescope of Belleville, Kan.
Under Flint's chairmanship the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame was originated in 1931. Solomon Miller, editor of the Kansas Chief, of Troy, Kan., was the first editor to be named to the Hall of Fame.
In 1963, Leon Nelson Flint was chosen for the Hall of Fame. He began teaching journalism at KU in 1906 until he retired in 1947. From 1916 to 1941 he was head of the journalism department.
IN 1955, the Board of Regents, governing body of KU, elected to name the building housing the
William Allen White School of Journalism and the KU Press, in honor of the first department head. This building holds the name of Flint Hall today.
At 11:45 a.m. the editors, journalists, and friends will have a buffet luncheon in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union.
Hosted by Wade Stinson, director of KU athletics, the participants will view the KU-Iowa State football game at 1:30 p.m.
