Two replies 1o ii recent editorial criticiz ing the Nebraska band arc printed in today's Student I'nlsc cnluinn. All that's wrong with the band, says one, is that it has no bright uni forms at present, a situation which may soon be remedied. Says the other, "Come to the winter concert, on Feb. Ifi for a sample of what the band can really do." We must agree that "raggy" uniforms do not make for band morale and that new and bright uniforms would work wonders. Our band docs look too much like messenger boys. But the uniforms are but a small part of the story. We likewise agree that the concert pre sented bv the baud each winter is entertain ine and hichlv commendable, having attended the performance previously. But it is not this nhaso of band work with which wo are con corned. It is not the concert band that appears on the field at enincs and in parades. And it is the latter in which we are seeking improve ments. The present troubles ot the band are iininv. But back of them all, the real cause of its difficulties, is that all the responsible ties and work of the band have been heaped upon the shoulders of one man, its genial di rector. Billic Quick. With insufficient funds. with practically no assistance, with a group of students, a large percentage ot whom is apa thetic and indifferent to its success, he is sup posed to produce a first rate Nebraska band. The fact that improvement is needed in the Nebraska band is not a reflection on Mr. Quick. The wonder is that he has done so well in such a huge task with the little he has had to work with. Presence of chiselers, military science refugees, and some not too competent musi cians are responsible for part of the baud's dilemma. These, however, can be eliminated in time. "What Mr. Quick needs to develop a good band is a corps of assistants and a little financial backing. t Today wc find in the Nebraska band some 130 members, more or less, hi the fall it was Mr. Quick's job to examine all applicants to the band. This he had to do alone. It 1hcn became his duy to round the band into shape in little, more than a week to march and play for the first football game. This was a solo assignment also, and a difficult one. Since that, time it has been Mr. Quick's work to drill the band in marching, to lead it in practice and performances, to iron out all defects, to present a polished band. This is too much to expect of any one person. This is work for several men, yet Mr. Quick had no regular assistants to help hiin. Small wonder then, that the band has been criticized for certain shortcomings shortcomings for which ho was not responsible. Several remedies for the situation appear possible. Most of them call for expenditure of additional funds from some place. If wc arc to have both a large band and a good band, certainly more money will have to be spent. The director of the band must be provided with the necessary assistants to properly or ganize a large band. A drillmastcr whose sole duty would be to develop a band that, could march and execute special formations and ma neuvers perfectly, is needed badly. Assist ants to help with the task of examining band applicants, and capable of giving individual band members instruction during the year are also urgently needed. Time could then be given to developing the various sections of the band and then co-ordinating the sections into a smoothly-playing unit. With these helps, Mr. Quick could give Nebraska a band that need take a back seat for no one. Without them he is almost powerless to change existing condi tions. Increased funds to provide this' much needed aid for the band, might be made avail able, it seems, through three sources within the university, to all of which the band has given its fullest measure of service. Tho military department is considering the possibility of helping the band with new uniforms, according to S. C.'s student pulse. It is to be hoped that this will materialize into reality. The athletic department could also furnish aid and should do so for no organization has given more free ly of its time for the cause of football and other sports than has the band, and none de serves more the athletic department's consid eration and support. It would not hurt the athletic department to forget its hard luck stories and contribute something to improve ment of the band. Finally, the university it self might be able to help the band with allot ments from its general fund. And if these sources should fail, there is still the student body -which, we believe, wants a good band enough that it would put over a campaign some way to secure funds for the band. If the present one man force cannot be augmented, tho suggestion of W. It. H. today sooniH nn altornntlvo which dcHorvos serious consideration.

Letters must be signed, but names will be withheld from publication If so desired. Here's What, We Heed! TO THE EDITOR: A recent editorial in the Daily Nebraskan concerning the iScbrasKa band rattier stomped on its membership and ability. A number ot the points carried weight but not to the ex tent that they wore emphasized. Also, there was much ado by every student, m the univer sity and by this recent editorial writer over ho way the Kansas band showed up our band on Homecoming day. All of these criticisms lave only one thing to stand on. That one thing is uniforms pretty, classy, showy, band uniforms. It is a psychological reason that Nebraska doesn't have one of the greatest bands. Who feels like strutting his stuff and playing mu sic with the best that's in him when he has to do it in rags? Hags arc what the Nebraska band wears. Put bright colors and showy uni forms on our band and watch them out step, out class, out piny, any band in the country. Ask yourself if this isn't true. You wouldn't go to school if you had to go in rags. Just think how classy you step around the campus when you arc wearing "the latest." This dire need for new uniforms has been realized for quite some time by Colonel Oury. Previously, all that cash that everyone gripes about the military department having, hasn't been nearly enough to purchase uniforms that will make the Nebraska baiid something to criticize, favorably. Now, the colonel feels that if the department works hard sponsoring a plan he has for making a little money he will have enough in the treasury to go with this and purchase "one of the classiest" uniforms in the country. S. O. Explaining The Band, TO THE EDITOR: The Nebraska band which you heard last Monday at the basketball game was not really the Nebraska band. You saw sixty musicians there. You. as well as the Nebraskan readers, should understand that the band that played at the game is only half of the R. 0. T. C. band. While the activities band is practicing to play for the games you attend, there is another group of musicians which is practicing to pre sent a concert at the coliseum on Feb. 1G. You can decide on the day of that concert whether you think Nebraska's band is a group of mili tary dodgers, a group oi conscientious musi cians, or both. But vou must not compare the music you hear on Feb. 10 with the music you heard from the Kansas band last fall. You must under stand more clearly your bases for comparison. You do not realize the difficulty encountered in the maneuvers of a 120 piece band. Billy Quick and Sergeant Ferris could selcct GO vet eran men from the band today and equip them with new uniforms, to produce results every bit as good as the Kansas band did. When one considers the size of the band, he should rather marvel at its excellence. You are doubtless correct in your state ments concerning the spirit of some of the members. But that does not make, them good or poor musicians. Students such as you made reference to are decidedly in the minority. On the whole, the spirit of the band is much bet ter than you think. You should have been at the rehearsal when volunteers were solicited to play before Herbert Hoover's speech. You should have seen the support and spirit we showed for the Santa Claus parade. These ex tra engagements carry np remunerations with them. Yes, we do have spirit 1 Your attack on the examining committee is unjustified. The few weak musicians in the band are there because they fill very impor tant vacancies in the band's instrumentation. Mr. Quick ddes not admit any person Avho can bring a horn to the examination but on the contrary, is very particular in his selections. Mr. Editor, we'd like to sec you at our con cert. You are due for a pleasant surprise ! W. R. H.

Herndon, as persons acquainted with tho case know, was convicted by a Georgia court, and sentenced to 18 to 20 years on a chain gang, simply because he possessed radical literature. Mr. Broun has the knack oi gett ing to the point and you will not be wasting time if you ook up the article and see why he concludes: "I feel that I have found at last that red men ace of which men speak. It is the red tape by which the Innocent are strangled." Daily Californian. The College Bull, A Useful Animal. They come, those times, in the life of every student when his pipe goes sour, his mind goes dull, when he becomes disgusted with every thing has has to eat, his studies, and hunseli times when he feds that, the world is down upon him and his prospects for the future arc worth less than nothing. When that time comes on you, don't sit back in seclusion and let your mind rot with your own thoughts. Pitch that dry text in a corner somewhere out of the way, round up a couple of cronies, or three, and enter into a cal, old-fashioned bull session. Then, when everything is ready, let off that compressed steam. If you don't like the way the world is being run, tell them about it, explain why, and what you'd do to relieve the situation. You'll be surprised at the new slant you get on things while you're trying to make clear to tho others what you're thinking. By the time you're through, you won't believe half of what you've said, yourself. And nine times out of ten your compan ions will pick the rest of your argument to pieces. They'll show you flaws in them so ob vious that you'll begin to wonder at your own powers of reasoning, and realize how utterly stale you had grown. Or, if by chance, they do agree with you on a point here and there, their contributions, from a fresh angle, will strengthen your own convictions , give you a new perspective. But whether the owners of the feet on the table beside yours stand with or against you, even if the whole bull session lends itself to nothing more than a mere "swapping of lies," the outcome is always the same. You feel re lieved. Latent interests have been aroused. Trifles won't bother you any more than 1 rifles should. In fact, you'll just feel a whole lot better all the way around.

The squad will work out daily hereafter and although the gym nasium is not a good place for practice sessions, workouts will be held there in bad weather, and in the stadium on the moro balmy days.

Paul Fanning is the confer ence champion in the discus and will add to the point total out of doors, while Bert Thompson and Tony Krueger also arc strong in this event." According to Coach Haylett, the squad appears to be the strongest in the 440, 880, mile and two mite events. Several sophomore hur dlers should develop. The high jump appears to be tho strongest of the field events, with the pole vault and shot put the weakest.
