STRESSES VALUE OF
ENGINEER'S T
Speaker at Banquet Friday
Discusses Relief
Project.
Stressing the value of an en
gineering education not only as a
technical subject but also as a fine
mental training in any line of
work, Gov. Roy L. Cochran ad
dressed those attending the en
gineers' banquet Friday evening at
the Lincoln hotel.
Principal speaker at the final
vent on the engineers' week pro
gram, Governor Cochran pointed
out that "engineering courses
teach a person first to determine
all the facts of a certain problem,
and second, knowing these, he can
reach a conclusion very close to
being correct. An engineering edu
cation gives the student something
more than just a technical educa
tion, in conditining and developing
his mind to a practical extent."
Engineers' Part Important.
The speaker also discussed the
part of the engineer in the present
campaign la bringing work to the
unemployed. Of the $4,800,000,000
being spent by the government for
relief, the enginer is handling
over fifty percent of the funds for
projects. According to observa
tions made during his public career,
Governor Cochran stated money

In Titular Role of
Verdi's Drama.
350 MEMBERS OF CAST
John Pane-Gasser, Chicago
Tenor, to Portray
'Rhadames.'
With the presentation of
Verdi's opera, "Aida," in the
university coliseum at 8 o'clock
tomorrow evening, Lincoln au
diences will have an opportu-'
nity of seeing and hearing grand
opera produced on a larger scale
than has ever before been realized
in the city, according to John K.
Selleck, director of student activi
ties. Between 300 and 350 persons
will take part in the performance,
with six world-renowned artists
singing the leading roles.
John Pane-Gasser, the young
Chicago-Italian tenor sensation of
the Chicago Grand Opera, will ap
pear here as "Rhedames" in
"Aida." He returned from Italy in
1932 when he played the part for
the first time at the opening per
formance of grand opera at the
Chicago stadium. After the close
of the Chicago Stadium Opera
company, he entered into a per
formance of "II Trovatore" at the
newly decorated Auditorium thea
ter. In 1933, with the formation
of the new Chicago Grand Opera
company as successor to the Chi
cago Civic Opera company, Pane
Gasser was one of the first stars
to be signed.
Miss Darlyt in Title Role.
Barbara Darlys, dramatic so
prano of the Chicago Grand Opera
company, will sing the title role of
"Aida," She belongs to the in
teresting group of American ar
tists who have had their entire
musical education in this country.
She made her debut with the Chi
cago Grand Opera on Jan. 23, 1934,
in the title role of "La Giaconda,"
on but a week's notice. She had
been secheduled to sing the title
role of "Aida" on Chicago's Italian
day, waen the Italians preferred
to hear their own beloved Raisa.
Acceding to their request, the
management asked Darlys to sing
"La Giaconda," and Mme. Raisa to
sing the "Aida" performance.
Music lovers will thus hear her in
the role she gave up to Mme.
Raisa.
Reinald Werrenrath, the world
famous Danish baritone, will head
the cast, singing the role of "Am
onasro, King of Ethiopia." He has
been a favorite of the musical pub
lic for about twenty years and was
for several seasons one of the first
stars of the Metropolitan Opera
company of New York. For a
decade he has been acclaimed as
the dean of recital artists, appear
ing upon practically every major
concert series in the entire world.
For the past two seasons he has
been on Broadway, as the star of
"Castles in the Air." This is the
first time that he has toured in
opera outside of New York and
Atlanta, Ga... with the Metropoli
tan company, having been secured
for a special engagement by the
festival forces.

will arrive from his home in
Cheyenne on Monday, and on that

rent political problems.
A course upon economic plan

general interest, including more
history than economics. The hours

on Tuesdays and from 2 to 3 on
Thursdays.
Dr. Clark is an economist, law
yer, and business man, and accord
ing to Dean J. E. LeRossignol of
