Arts festival to present show giants
By NED VALENTINE
A full week of distinguished entertainment will hit Mount Oread starting Sunday in the Festival of Fine Arts.
All performances will be held in Hoch Auditorium at 8 p.m.
23
The week opens with jazz pianist Bill Evans who attracted national attention in 1958 when he played with the Miles Davis Sextet. Every year since 1962 Evans has been voted the best of all jazz pianists in the international poll in the Down Beat Critics Poll.
A thoroughly trained classical pianist, Evans is also completely imbued with the mainstream of the evolution of jazz.
EVANS IS A COMPOSER who also won the Grammy award for the best jazz LP in 1964 with his "Conversations with Myself," which features overdubbing on three pianos simultaneously.
Also on Sunday will be the distinguished classical guitarist Ray de la Torre, a native Havanan who has played the guitar since he was
10. He left Havana at 14 to study in Spain.
SINCE HIS DEBUT in Barcelona at 16, his fame has spread quickly. In 1941 he made his Town Hall debut in New York and has toured the globe since then.
Through the years, Rey de la Torre has kept abreast of modern Spanish and Latin-American music.
Film-maker Lionel Rogosin will speak Monday on various aspects of film making. After a short lecture he will present his award-winning movie "Good Times, Wonderful Times."
THE MOVIE CONCERNS the indifference and inhumanity of Western societies. The movie opens at a real London cocktail party with prosperous pseudo-intellectuals making their flippant comments about sex and war.
These vapid conversations are abruptly interrupted with documentary footage culled from the two World Wars. The realities of war assert themselves over the complacencies of the cocktail crowd in this movie.
The people are not actors nor even people trying to act, but real, successful "in people."
Many observers on the Hollywood scene think that Chuck Jones is the successor to Walt Disney. Jones, who will speak Tuesday, is a veteran director of animated short subjects and has worked for Disney, Warner Brothers and is currently with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
HE IS ALSO AN experimenter and has made an occasional "Special" in his private laboratory. He won an Academy Award a year ago for his MGM special, "The Dot and the Line," based on Norton Juster's unique book.
For his evening at KU he will show some of his best short subjects and experimental reels, explain technical skills behind certain effects and discuss the future of animation with a student panel.
He will also bring some advance "pencil reels" of "The Phantom Tollboth" and his recent television special, Dr. Suess' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Continued on page 4

Memorial fund established for Viet correspondent
By PAUL HANEY
A memorial fund for the late Ronald Gallagher has been established in the William Allen White School of Journalism by friends of the Vietnam correspondent.
Gallagher, a former UDK managing editor, was killed in Vietnam Saturday by U.S. artillery fire. He was a freelance photographer and writer for Kansas and Missouri newspapers. He was the ninth correspondent killed in the war.
Warren K. Agee, dean of the journalism school, said the fund will be used to provide loans or other assistance for international students studying in the school because of Gallagher's interest in international relations.
THE REQUEST for establishment of the fund was made by persons associated with Gallagher at People-to-People headquarters in Kansas City. Gallagher was national publicity director there after graduating from KU in 1962.
Funeral services are planned tentatively for Friday at Mary Queen of Angels Catholic Church in Fort Scott with burial in Coffeyville.
Agee said Gallagher will long be remembered by outstanding newsmen due to his outstanding service as one of three student representatives on the national board of Sigma Delta Chi journalism society in 1961-62.
"Somebody must report what is going on over there, to keep us all informed. He felt this responsibility very keenly."
GALLAGHER'S FATHER, J. E. Gallagher, said, "Reporting the wars was what he wanted to do. He died in the service of his country just as fully as did the soldiers who died with him.
Contributions to the memorial may be made to Agee or the KU Endowment Association.
GALLAGHER WENT to Vietnam in December and had planned to stay six to eight months. He was accredited to the U.S. command in Vietnam to work for the Topeka Capital-Journal, the Joplin (Mo.) Globe and the Fort Scott Tribune.
He was killed while with a company of the Ninth division southwest of Saigon by a U.S. artillery barrage which accidentally landed among U.S. infantrymen.
Police News
KU and Lawrence police officers responded last night on two separate calls to Corbin and GSP Halls on complaints of prowlers and window-neckers.
Police reported that for the second time in three days no one could be found when they arrived.
Officers reported some vandals evidently placed it there sometime Sunday night.
Police also reported they had a Communist flag removed from the 100 foot high crane behind Strong Hall on Monday morning.
And with the beginning of spring weather bicycles and motorcycles are taking to the campus streets and so are their vandals. Last night another bicycle was stolen. Students have also reported lately the vandalism of their motorcycles parked in area lots.
In one of his last dispatches to the Topeka Capital-Journal, Gallagher said the most pathetic casualties in Vietnam are U.S. troops hit by their own artillery.
Under his editorship, the UDK won an "All-American Honor Rating" from the Associated Collegeate Press.

WHAT'S INSIDE
Festival tickets go on sale tomorrow
Individual tickets for the Festival of Arts events go on sale Wednesday in the SUA office in the Kansas Union.
These tickets enable a student to attend one or more of the events without purchasing the coupon for the entire program. The individual tickets are priced from $.75 for the Lionel Rogosin and Chuck Jones talks on Monday and Tuesday to $3.00 for the Count Basie, Odetta concert on Saturday.
DURING ENROLLMENT, students were given the opportunity to purchase a package of coupons redeemable for individual performance tickets at a reduced rate of $4.50. This included a 20-page program.
"If a students just wants to go to a few things, it's not worth it to buy the package of coupons," Mrs. Katherine Giele, SUA advisor, said.
Mrs. Giele stressed that the Count Basie, Odetta concert was included in the purchase price of the package of coupons.
"COUPON HOLDERS must come into the office to make reservations for seating at this concert, as well as for events on
Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday." Mrs. Giele said.
This must be done before Wednesday. After that, reservations cannot be held for coupon holders exclusively.
