University of Nebraska experi
mental substation at North Platte
for several years, will soon take
up his permanent home in the uni
versity museum in Morrill hall at

Agriculture at the request of Chan
cellor E. A. Burnett. His mate,
Lucretia, was donated by the same
bureau to the city of North Platte

Predicts Cultural
Influence of Opera
EL ANNOUNCES
IN 10 SERVE ON
Th weekly broadcasts oi the
Metropolitan Opera company were
hailed as a valuable adjunct to the
study of the history of opera by
Howard Kirkpatrick, director of
the school of music, in an inter
view yesterday. The possibility of
a Saturday afternoon class for
fctudy and discussion of thse pro
grams arose when Proftssor Kirk
patrick announced that a class
could be arranged if there is suf
ficient demand.
77 Stations Broadcast.
Seventy-seven key radio sta
tions of the National Broadcasting
company will carry the programs
this winter, in which interna
tionally famous artists including
Lily Pons, Nino Martini, and Rosa
Ponselle will take part. The first
of the series, "Hansel and Gretel,"
was broadcast on Christmas day,
and thirteen others will be heard
during the duration of the opera
season.
Each opera is broadcast direct
from the stage of the Metropolitan
Opera house during the regular
Saturday matinee performance.
Usually two and one-half hours of
radio time are required for the
complete opera. Throughout the
broadcast, explanatory remarks
are contributed at intervals by
Milton Cross and John B. Ken
nedy, who speak from a strategic
point in the opera house.
Cultural Effect Expected.
A marked cultural effect upon
the country at large was foreseen
by Professor Kirkpatrick as the
result of the operas. "They will oe
of a high educational value to the
people of Nebraska from a stand
point of familiarity of operas, and
should raise the standards of mu
sical appreciation to a new plane,"
he predicted.

Will Finish Project by

Work on the stadium prac
tice field CWA project is about
two-thirds completed, accord
ing to John Selleck, director of
the enterprise. Laborers com
menced work on the project
two weeks ago, and Feb. 15 is the
deadline date for completion.
About a week before vacation the
government made a $10,000 grant
for this work under the CWA.
The purpose of the undertaking is
to give employment to laborers,
and to provide more practice fa
cilities for the Nebraska football
team.
Seats Will Not Be Built.
According to precious announce
ment a tier of cement, ten rows
high, was to be built along with
development of the project, but
this phase of the work has been
cancelled, due to the fact that only
10 percent of the funds may be
used for materials.
In place of the erection of ce
ment seats, the workers are revis
ing the stadium track. It will be
400 meters long instead of 440
yards, which means that it is
shortened about 2 1-3 yards, and
the chute from which the 220 yard,
440 yard, and half mile races have
started is being filled in to make
room for the practice grounds.
Hereafter the above-mentioned
races will be run around the full
curve, starting from the middle of
the west side of the track, and
being completed in front of the
east stands. The track is being
widened to a width of seven lanes

Who Attended; Hansen Praises Chorus
A general feelinp of satisfaction prevailed amon? Lincoln
musicians following the eomentinn of the National Association
of JIusic Teachers and the Association of Music Schools held

That the convention left a happy feeling and a fine influ
ence for every one was the opin-O-
ion of Howard Kirkpatrick, direc
tor of the school of music and one
of the hosts at the cenvention.
Convention Considered Good.
All the guests attending the
meeting, many of them ' notable
musicians, professed to regard the
music and the convention of a very
high order.
The high spot of the four day
gathering was the concert Friday
night at the coliseum. The pro
gram featured the Lincoln Sym
phony orchestra with Dr. Howard
Hansen as guest conductor; the
Great Cathedral choir under the
direction of John M. Rosborough;
and Philip Abbas, 'cellist from
Kansas State Teachers college,
Pittsburg, Kas.
Dr. Hansen, a former Wahoo
boy and outstanding American
composer at the present time, con
ducted the Lincoln orchestra in
playing a composition of his own
entitled "Symphony No. 2 Ro
mantic." Hansen Praises Choir.
Dr. Hansen paid high tribute to
the Great Cathedral choir by stat
ing that in his opinion the group
is one of the very best in the coun
ple from various parts of Nebraska
have hurried to and fro among the
buildings on Ag campus attending
discussions on every possible as
pect of agriculture and home eco
nomics. According to faculty mem
bers at the college, farm people
attending the meetings display
far more optimism and confident
spirit than had been displayed at
farm gatherings during recent
years.
Meetings Well Attended.
Crisp winter weather kept few
people away from the College of
Agriculture campus, for, according
to faculty leaders, the meetings
have been well attended. Early
sessions on New Years day saw
more people in attendance than
early sessions last year, according
to college officials.
Speaking at the opening meeting
of the week, Louis J. Taber, Na
