Curtice for 50 cents, 75 cents and 1, and box seats for $2. Mr. Verbrugghen has had an inter esting career as a musician. He was born in Brussels, Belgium, and was the only son of a wealthy manufac turer. His father decided that Henri should be a doctor but the boy had ideas of his own. He was allowed to study the violin as a proper avocation and his talent became so apparent that it attracted the attention of Ysaye, the great Belgian violinist. Makes Debut at Fourteen. The boy became a pupil of Ysaye and at the age of fourteen was taken to London to make his debut. Hef won instant recognition in England as a great violinist and was a fav orite in that country for five years. Verbrugghen then decided that he did not wish to spend his life "with a violin tucked under his chin" and he deserted the concert stage to take a minor position in a great orchestra in Wales. Step by step, he worked Initiate Seven Into Honorary Fraternity Alpha Rho Tau, honorary fine arts fraternity, initiated the following students at a meeting held Friday evening at Ellen Smith hall: Frieda Amos, Martha Harder, Myrtle Carp- entre, Margaret McGregor, Gladys Mickel.

Rice of New York vis ited the Nebraska section of the A. S. M. E., Friday. i 1' his wy up until he became the con ductor. After playing in a number of or chestras on the continent to gain ex perience, he was offered the post of assistant conductor of the famous Scottish Symphony orchestra of Glas gow, Scotland. Soon after accept ing the offer, he was made the leader of this orchestra. Conducts London Orchestra. Serving as guest conductor for or ganizations in Russia, France, Bel gium and Germany, he gained a repu tation so great that he was chosen as conductor of the London Symphony orchestra for the famous Beethoven festival of 1914. A year later, he was recalled tov direct the Beethoven-Brahms-Bach festival, and his repu tation became established. Next came a call from the State Conservatory in Sydney, Australia, and he organized and conducted the State Symphony orchestra of that city. The resignation of Emil Ober hoffer, who was for nineteen years the conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, gave the post to Verbrugghen. His career was a strange one for a lad who was to be a doctor, but Verbrugghen has said "I am a doc tor still. I treat men's souls with a time-tested remedy music."

LABOR GOVERNMENT IS TOPIC AT CONVOCATION Sidney Wicks, English Editor, Says Labor Party Not Same as Unions. "The Significance of the Labor Government" was the subject of an address given by Sidney F. Wicks, one of the editors of the Manchester Weekly Guardian, to an audience that filled the Temple theater yes terday morning at 11 o'clock. "The labor party in England is much larger, much broader than the labor unions," Mr. Wicks said, in stressing that the labor party and the unions were not identical. He pointed out that the union merely rep resents class interests in an economic war, while the party has a political philosophy and a national aim. "Few people in England today be lieve that the labor union represents the last word in industrial organiza tion, but there are may who believe that it is essential to a healthy con dition in industry," Mr. Wicks de clared. In dealing with the socialistic ten dencies of the labor party, Mr. Wicks decried the attitude of those people, who "thrill with horror" when so cialism is mentioned. "All the members of the labor party are not socialists," Mr. Wicks explained. "I do not believe that the English people will ever give con scious assent to socialism." The conditions giving rise to the labor movement were depicted by Mr. Wicks. These industrial conditions lead the working classes to desert the organized, orthodox religion and to expend their religious feeling in work for social reform. Paying a high tribute to Ramsay McDonald, Mr. Wicks declared that he stood "like Atlas with the burden of Europe on his shoulders." Mr. Wicks closed with a plea for understanding and friendship be tween the United States and England. Prof. P. H. Grumann presided and introduced Chancellor S. Avery who presented the speaker.

This is one of the special events being arranged for the Valley classic by Coach Henry F. Schulte. "The greatest athletic event in the history of the University and greater than the Notre Dame game," says Coach Schulte when talking about the Missouri Valley meet. With the new stadium completed and the cinder track in excellent shape, Nebraska is prepared to take care of the visiting conference athletes as never before. Special attractions in the way of military demonstrations by United States regulars from Fort Riley, Kan., and the University R.O.T.C. will be some of added events to make it the most spectacular event ever staged at Nebraska . Coach Schulte hopes to fill the me morial stadium from one end to the other Saturday, May 24, when the cream of the Missouri Valley will be pitted against each other in track and field competition. Say Has Fine Team. "Cornhusker followers should come from far and wide for this wonder ful display of athletic skill. Ne braska has won the Valley cham pionship three times in succession and the 1924 track team is one of the finest I have ever had the oppor tunity of coaching. Nebraska is not confident of winning the fourth con secutive championship but we are going to give all the schools a real run for their money," is the way the "Indian" expresses himself. Winners in the Missouri Valley Conference Championships will have the privilege of going to Boston to compete in the finals of the Olympic tryouts for the United States Olym pic team.

Coach Simpson has a galaxy of stars wearing the Tiger colors and is certain to make a strong bid fcr first place honors May 24. Kansas failed to make a specta cular showing at the Drake Relays but this is no evidence that the Jay hawkers will not come to Lincoln with the expectations of carrying home the majority of the blue rib bons.
