Fritz Kreisler Has
Violin Collection
Valued At $300,000
Fritz Kreisler, world violinist, who
will appear in a concert here in Me
morial Hall January 16, at 8:30 in the
evening, and whq possesses a fortune
in talent, also possesses a collection of
violins worth approximately $300,
000. A Stradivarius, a Gagliano and
two violins of Joseph Guarnerius del
Gesu are his most famous and most
treasured instruments.- These repre
sent a difference in kind, but .hardly
in quality, each being a masterpiece of
its kind.
For recitals in smaller halls. Kreis
ler uses the Stradivarius, a small, bea
tifully delicate instrument with the
fine silvery tone characteristic of the
best Stradivarii. The Gagliano is the
work of one of the earliest Florentine
violinmakers, and Kreisler alternates
it frequently with the Stradivarius.
The Guarnerius violins he uses for re
citals in large halls and for appear
ances with orchestras. Both of them
have the rich golden tone so distinctly
identified with the masterpieces of the
great Joseph, superlative craftsman of
the Guarnerius family and nephew of
the man who founded the house. One
o,f these violins formerly belonged to
Wilhemj and is dated 1737. The other,
made in 1742, was long held a fabu
lous figure by the house of Hill of Lon
don, and Kreisler realized the fulfill- j
ment of a life-long desire in finally ac
quiring it. It is recognized as one of
the finest examples of the maker's
art.
FAVORITE FIDDLES
Concerning his favorites among fid
dles the violinist has said, 'The ones
I love best are those made by Guarner
ius and Stradivarius. ' But if anyone
asks me which I love better of the two,
I can only say just as it's hard for a
man to tell whether he prefers brun
ettes or blondes, or vice versa, even

Gray's First Organization
Was ' 'Spike 's Jazz Band ' 9
Casa Loma Band Leader
Graduated From High School
In Illinois Coal-Mining Town
His full name is Glen Gray and he
is of German and Scotch descent.
After he was graduated from high
school in the coal-mining town of
Roanoke, Illinois, he organized a small
orchestra which was known as
"Spike's Jazz Band," a nomeclature
derived from the' red letters emblazon
ed on the drum. That was ten years
ago.
His parents snuffered while he
learned to play the piano, saxaphone,
clarinet and flute but they never
scolded little "Spike" for his choice
of professions.
"Casa Loma" was a flash of an idea
from a hotel in Toronto, Canada, in
1929, when Gray and his newly formed
orchestra got a job in the dining
room. They adopted the name because
they liked the sound of it; they incor
porated and elected Gray president.

receives pay if illness forces him tem-

$94,000 RENOVATED
ALUMNI BUILDING
OPENED TfflS YEAR
Construction Work
Began Last March,
Completed Recently
With a total of $94,000 being spent
on its renovation, the Alumni building
opened its doors for classes at the be
ginning of the winter quarter. Con
struction work began last March with
a PWA grant, and the job was com
pleted during the Christmas holidays.
. Three connected departments Jiave
moved into the remodeled building and
will have full command over the build
ing which they formerly shared with
the journalism department and the
University press. The three depart
ments "are the sociology, social work
departments and the institute of re
search of social science.
FIREPROOF STRUCTURE
The Alumni building, modelled after
the Boston Public library and built in
1898, was made completely fireproof
when it was remodeled. All the in
terior doors and walls were replaced
with fireproof materials, and the roof
was redesigned, made fireproof and
covered with slate. Architectural de
fects which marked the building as an
eyesore were eliminated, and an at
tempt was made to make the building
comply as nearly as possible with other
campus buildings. Changes to the ex
terior were made in order to accom
modate the third floor windows and to
change the design of the third floor.
The two side entrances to the first
floor were also eliminated with en
trances made to the ground floor at
the same places.
Finances for the changes made in
the building were obtained as a part
of a building program carried on by

Statements Given By Fairley,
Lalanne, President Graham
Fast-moving developments yesterday in the case of Jim La
lanne's suspension from the University during the winter quarter
for violation of the honor system indicated that the action taken by
the administration in disclosing the student council's decision was
generally approved by all persons concerned.
President Frank P. Graham revealed that neither the adminis
tration nor the student council had revealed any names in the case.
Lalanne's name had leaked out through various unknown sources,
and a story had been published in several newspapers stating that
the sole reason for the suspension was the fact that Lalanne had
been unable to meet the scholastic requirements of the University.
GRAHAM'S STATEMENT
"This incomplete report distorted facts and did not tell what had
actually happened," Dr. Graham said. "Dean House and myself
felt that we owed it to truth and to ourselves to straighten out the
matter and release the real facts. Otherwise, it would have ap
peared that the University had sanctioned a lie."
'Lalanne stated yesterday that he thoroughly understood the
action taken by the administration authorities and respected them
for it. "I am glad that the matter has been cleared up," he said.
"Naturally, it is kind of hard, but I guess I can take it."
FAIRLEY APPROVES
Jack Fairley, acting head of the student council in the absence of
Jim Davis, last night said that he felt that the course taken by the
administration in presenting the truth in the case was thoroughly
justified, since the traditional council rule of never revealing names
had not been broken, and said that the move was probably the best
that could be made under the circumstances.
President Graham and Professor James L. Godfrey pointed out
that they and others Tel t that Lalanne's action was not in the least
way indicative of his character, but was the unfortunate result of
being overburdened with too many emotional problems which had
been causing a great strain.
Lalanne left Chapel Hill yesterday afternoon for Greensboro
where he has a job and will work until he returns to apply for read
mission to the University next quarter.
