In checking up on the class for professors we inaugurated last week on appreciating the student mind, with outside reading there of in "Oakie College's Benny Goodman," evidence leads us to strongly suspect that many of the faculty members have grossly neglected the assignment. We wiil have you to know, sirs, that class work is not to be taken lightly. Tf this deplorable situation con tinues, we shall be forced to give you an 'extraordinary" examina tion. The conscientious students, however, have by now reached a point in the course where fur ther progress is impossible with out familiarity with the "lan guage." Few of even the more rabid lovers of swing have the technical vocabulary of the pro fessional band man. Dr. Kurz says "cordially" that he was re minded of Swing Appreciation Meyer by a squib put out by the Columbia University Press, dealing, among other things, with "A Musician's Word List." But we object to the unromantic swing terms these cited on prin ciples. An instrument that can produce the heartfluttering ef fects that Kenny Anderson honeys out of his slide trom bone should never be ignobly re ferred to as a "slushpump." But, students, you must know the name of the musical effects that entrance collegians before you can converse with sufficient intelligence on the subject to get any real insight. Paul Ward de scribes Master Goodman's charm In terms of "flawless rhythm and marvelous polyharmonics " But Bill Hollister and Vance Lein ginger elucidate further. Listen carefully, please, for Teacher is going to tell you all about it in the simple words that you pro fessors can understand, and then we will work up by easy stages to the more typical swing lingo. Swing Artistic. In the first place you must fully recognize how swing is not ' only a perfectly legitimate but ! frequently highly artistic form of! music. Like modern music in gen eral it is full of unorthodox mel odic progressions, augmented tri ads, diminished sevenths and ninths and unresolved dissonances. Bridges fere built in with chro matic sequences, and in the off beats of syncopation are numer ous opposing rhjthmic forces, with one always dominant. You sec, it's just like the stuff you are familiar with already. But the chief, indeed the only thing, which distinguishes it from other modern music is its peculiar rhythm. This is a thing which has been dealt with at great length by musical theorists. A huge vol ume treating of swinr music in ,.-!. iai, ti.u iiufl ipaiure 01 11 in .u uiar 1.1 recently oil me press. But these efforts only go to prove that any definite statement on swing is impossible it's indefina ble. It can only be sensed; you got it or you ain't got it. But keep up heart, bovs. and maybe you can learn to cast off (Continued on Page 4.1 OF i Alfred j Nebraska Major, Chase Address ASCE Members.

In conjunction with showing various views of the Wilson darn now under construction to provide cheap power at Muscle Shoals, Alfred Chaw; offered a summary of the project's history and its construction. ' For many years before the World war, congressmen, engi neers, and business men advocated the construction of a dam or series cf dams across the Tenessee rivr at a point in north central Ala bama known as Muscle Shoals. This is a rock, shallow place in the river which prevents passage cf steamers up and down the Urtam. Such a dam would make th Tennessee river navigable fot almost its entire length it was con tended, from east Tennessee to Cairo, 111., thus opening up a vast amount of territory to cheap water transpot tation. Nitrate Plant at Shoals. As a result of this agitation, the country adjacent to Muscle Shoals was surveyed.

A feature of the program will be the singing of Harriet Cruze Kem mer, a Nebraska graduate of 1926, in a special setting, by choir direc- j tor John Rasborough, of the famil iar hymn, "My raith Looks up to Thee."

Thut the early spring election on April 13 will be a general elec tion, and that the ballot will in clude the issue of whether or not the student body wishes to abolish the faction names from the ballots of all following elections, was de cided at the Student Council meeting lnte yesterday afternoon. Such n decision was required of the council when a petition with 100 hundred names was presented before it. Ending a two month controversy over the faction issue as far as the council is concerned, the pe tition was the first ever presented over the heads of the council mem bers. When the assembly failed to approve the faction name ab olition by one vote short of the required two-thirds, preponents of the measure were determined to see the issue carried before the student body.
