Mr. Whitney, the visiting director
is the conductor of the Louisville

Philharmonic Orchestra and is donating his time to the high school
students.
This is the first time Mr. Whitney
has had any experience working
with young people but both seem to
be petting along very well. Dr. Kenneth Wright, chairman of the workshop and a member of the UK Music
faculty, said," Mr. Whitney is a
warm, enthusiastic conductor and
the orchestra is enjoying working
with him".
The students attending the workshop are "having the time of our
lives, even if we do have to work,"
said one participant.
Mr. Whitney said the music to be
presented tonight is comparatively
difficult. However, he expects the
orchestra to do very nicely and make .
a good showing. He has just returned from Europe where he was
guest conductor for six weeks with
one of the foremost orchestras on
the continent.
Fourteen Kentucky cities are rep- resented here and the students are
expected to take home a better un- derstanding of orchestra work, and
their place in the orchestra as a
whole.
The cities represented are: Louis- ville, Lexington. Taducah, Versailles.
Paris, Mt. Sterling, Frankfort, Fort
Knox, Pikeville, Harrodsburg, Beaver
Dam Independence, Middletown,
and Shelbvville.
Ninetv four students are included
in the orchestra, not counting the

four doublebass, six horns, four

The concert program tonight will
be opened with a short talk by Dr.
Leo M. Chamberlain,
of the University. Following his talk.
Dr. Edwin E. Stein, head of the UK
Music Department, will make a brief
speech and introduce Conductor
Whitney.
Wednesday night the students
were given a party at the music department and last night they gave
an ensemble recital in the Labora- tory theater. That program included
prass ensemoies, woodwind
en
sembles and string groups, all of
them here for the workshop.

education benefits.
President Truman has signed into
law a new GI Bill for veterans who
served in the armed forces any place
in the world since the start of the
Korean conflict on June 27. 1950.
The new law provides five benefits,
including education and training.
The education and training provisions allow a veteran one and a
half days of training for each day
in the service after the outbreak of
the Korean fighting, regardless of
where the service was performed up
to a maximum of 36 months.
However, veterans who have pre- viously trained under earlier vet- erans training laws (the World
War II GI Bill or Public Laws 16
or 894 for the disabled), may get up
to 48 months, minus whatever time
they have already spent in training
under those earlier programs.
A veteran mav train in school or

Students, faculty, and townspeople have an opportunity from now until Aug. 10 to see one of the
finest displays of reproductive art in the country.
The University's Fine Arts gallary is currently
showing the 23th Annual Exhibition of Design in
Chicago Printing.
Over 40 pieces display some of the year's best
advertising formats and lxtok make-upIncluded
with the Chicago work are some of the Department's own reproductions of paintings, both by
masters of the past and by contemporary artists.
The latter group was hung with the typographical
display to afford observers another example of the
complex and varied art of reproduction.
Exhibitions of this caliber explain why UK's Gal- lery ranks second in the state only to the Speed
Museum in Ixnn'sville. The latter is heavily endowed with private funds, an advantage not enjoyed by the local gallery. Dispite a lack of money,
however, UK's gallery consistently provides varied,
interesting, and satisfying exhibitions'.

In addition to his wife, our starving businessman
also has to take care of the federal and state governments, his liquor bill, and the upkeep on his children. According to his figures he's some $200 in

the hole by the time he gets through paying his
bills.
e're aware of the efficiency with which the
government collects its bills but one would think
that maybe the fellow could cut a comer here and

One of the most satisfying things that can happen
to a college student is to cut a summer sdiool class
for three days in a row (out of sheer meanness)
and to return, slightly nervous and green around
the gills, only to discover that the prof doesn't take
the roll.

Intramurals reaches an oasis at last.

Amio Kiviniemi is cast as the amorous, drink-lovin- g
marquis, and Sue Henry is cast as his wife. Jo
Anne Thomas plays the part of a chaml)ermaid who

gets invited to the big ball entirely by mistake. In
one notable scene she gives our friend the marquis
the old come on, singing daintily, "Look Me Over
Once, Look Me Over Twice." Of course what
really puts the song over is the innuendo put across
when Jo Anne does a subtle bit of skirt lifting as
the song's dramatic accompaniment.
We understand Wallace Briggs had quite a time
in rehearsal getting Miss Thomas to put the proper
amount of "suggest iveness" in her gestures. It seems
Wally was encouraging Jo Anne to nudge the
bleary- - eyed marquis in a flirtatious manner and
was using Miss Icwis to demonstrate. Miss Lewis,
blessed with as much romantic sensibility as the
best of us, didn't object the first few times, but she
finally bruised to the Ixiiling point and gave Wally
a nudge of her own that could hardly be described
as flirtations.
Rehearsals went on through and next week-enthe paying customers will get a chance to see how
well Jo Anne took to her coaching.

Students who daily fltxtd themselves with chlorophyll tablets to kee p themselves prese ntable to society are wasting their time, according to a doctor
who was recently written up in Time magazine.
The good chxtor said that his horse, after cropping
on nice, green grass (just packed with clorophyll)
would come home from the fields, after a hot clay,
"rec king with sweat."

Your advice, to quit casting stones unless we ourselves are morally pure, is absolutely, positively,

and categorically insane. The only glint of the
actions you advocate comes from the reader's individual interpretation. I rather suspected that
your only real advice, concerning the erasing of
corruption, would be to eradicate a majority of the
human race.
If, in the future, you do find a way to rid us of
our mortal foibles, please let us know. We're interested.

An old friend of mine, recently graduated, tells

bitter alxnit the remarks made alxnit their efficiency in the T(xllx. Out of a sense of fair play
