Scheid Presents Clarinet Recital
Wednesday night L. Don Scheid, assistant professor of wind and percussion, presented his annual clarinet recital on the Faculty Recital Series in Swarthout Recital Hall.
The program included Brahms second clarinet sonata, a concerto by Manevitch (a contemporary Russian), and the trio K. 498 by Mozart for clarinet, viola and piano.
His performance was intelligent and very musical. His tone was pure and full, not squeaky and shallow.
Prof. Jersild had her hands full with the Brahms sonata and the Manevitch concerto. The sonata is a large-scale duet for clarinet and piano, not simply a piece for clarinet with piano accompaniment. Brahms himself was a pianist. The concerto accompaniment is a condensation of a full orchestral score.
ASSISTING PROF. SCHEID were Marian Jersild, associate professor of piano, and Karel Blaas, associate professor of string instruments, violist.
But Prof Jersild was certainly equal to the demands upon her. Her playing of Brahms was robust. We have never heard her playing sound quite so full before, and she has played here close to 10 times in the past three years.
PROF. BLAAS joined Prof. Scheid and Prof. Jersild in the Mozart trio, one of three big works in which Mozart used the solo clarinet. The ensemble was delicate and beautiful.
It is interesting to note that Brahms wrote his two sonatas opus 120 with both the clarinet and the viola in mind. The range of both instruments is practically the same, but the mood each instrument
evokes is obviously quite different
The viola has the more melancholy tone and is capable of more emotional intensity. The clarinet is capable of profound, mellow tones, but it is not capable of sustaining a serious mood, however sinister it may be made to sound on other occasions.
IT IS THEREFORE fitting that Prof. Blaas, a violist, appeared on Prof. Scheid's recitals both this year and last, when Prof. Scheid played the first of the sonata, in F minor. Neither time, of course, did Prof. Blaas play the same work as Prof. Scheid.
It would be most interesting, and pleasing, to hear a recital on which Prof. Blaas played one sonata and Prof. Scheid played the other.
The Manevitch concerto is a darkly playful work in one movement, dating from 1955. Stylistically it falls somewhere between Prokofieff and Shostakovitch. Besides some mock seriousness for the clarinet it has some bright clangor in the accompaniment.
SUA to Sponsor Tour of Europe

The tour is part of an exchange program. For further information, students may call the SUA office, KU Extension 477.
Topeka Alumni Start Gift Drive
A drive is under way in Topeka and Shawnee County to collect gifts to KU through the Greater University Fund (GUF).
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe and a panel of faculty members and administrative personnel spoke this week at a meeting of about 200 alumni in Topeka, to launch the campaign seeking contributions from nearly 1,800 alumni living in Shawnee County.
Mrs. R. Charles Clevenger, chairman of the Shawnee County drive, said, "We hope to obtain a large number of modest contributions from Topeka alumni and friends, to help KU meet needs which are beyond limitations imposed on state funds.
"We have set no dollar goal for the campaign. Our objective is to obtain some contribution, regardless of amount, from each alumnus in the county. Most contributions received by the fund range from $5 to $100 in amount."
More than 150 alumni are working on the Shawnee County drive, which is aimed particularly at obtaining unrestricted funds for student loans and scholarships, research facilities and library acquisitions.
FRESNO. Calif. — (UPI) — The annual daffiness that spring brings to college campuses was in full bloom here today.
Oh No! It's Spring Again
Sore-handed Fresno City College students proudly claimed a world's record after applauding for $11_{1/2}$ consecutive hours.
"We think it's a record because we don't think anybody else has ever tried it before," a spokesman explained.

RPC's international coverage may grow even larger, since the Voice of America has asked the center for samples of tapes for possible distribution.

New Tabber Snap
"Hands Between Nations" is the third aspect of the center's work and undoubtedly will have the widest distribution. The series originally began as an exchange project among schools having People-to-People, an international good-will program which got its start on the KU campus.
The center also is engaged in special projects, including five-minute radio discussions on "You and the Law" and "You and the Weather." Bush, who coordinated the three-man policy committee, said these programs are aimed at being both helpful and interesting to the layman.

The three students, Lawrence Knupp, Great Bend sophomore, Larry Wagner, Lawrence junior, and Robert Bush, Webster Groves, Mo. sophomore, are engaged in a project known as "Radio Production Center" (RPC). The three students spend from five to 15 hours a week producing, directly, writing, announcing and distributing recorded programs to radio stations.

Faculty adviser is Donald Hansen, instructor in the radio and television department of the School of Journalism. Mr. Hansen said although the Radio Production Center is a service group, it also is an educational medium, both for those who hear the distributed program and for the students who produce them.
New officers are Mike Mason, Omaha, Nebr., senior, president; Edward Hokanson, Shawnee Mission junior, first vice-president; Barbara Thomas, Tulsa, Okla., freshman, second vice-president; Judy McCahill, Alton, Ill., freshman, recording secretary; David Miller, Dodge City graduate, treasurer; Judith Hulse, Ellinwood junior, historian, and Marian Jun, Webster Groves, Mo., sophomore, social chairman.

The project focuses on interviews with faculty and outstanding international students on the KU campus. Through the People-to-People headquarters in Kansas City, the KU recorded programs may be distributed to some 400 commercial stations in the U.S. and possibly to student groups and schools in other countries.
