MUSIC DIRECTOR
FROWNS ON LACK
OF APPRECIATION
By ALLENE TROWBRIDGE.
I had gotten up very early that
morning and I felt fine. The world
seemed to smile at me as I walked
slowly clown the street. Many boys
and girls passed me as they hur
ried to reach the chorus rehearsal
on time. They all seemed so happy,
as they entered the Temple thea
ter, that I was temptd to follow
them. After spending some fifteen
minutes in thought, I finally
reached a decision. I entered the
building and walked boldly into the
room where Mr. Howerton was
teaching various pupils of the all-
state high school music course to
sing.
When I entered the room there
was a low humming going on that
sounded like a swarm of bees. It
really pleased me so very much
that I sat down to listen. I was
almost asleep when suddenly, with
out a word of warning, they all
began to shriek, "Out of the dark
ness flash me a song!" As thoueh
it wasn't bad enough to hear all of
that noise, Mr. Howerton was
stamping his feet and shouting in
structions at them while the piano
was fairly rocking as it was being
played.
Then they stopped as ouicklv as
they had begun. The director be
gan to help the tenor section learn
their parts as I moved up closer
that I might hear better. The boys
saw me then and laughed at me.
This made Mr. Howerton very
angry and he bawled them out for
not paying attention. I decided
right then that I was not wanted.
Gathering up all my dignity, arch
ing my eyebrows alluringly, and
with my head thrown back I
marched across the stage in a very
stately manner. But to my dismay
everyone laughed this time even
the director.
Even if I am only a tinv black
and white kitten, I refuse ever to
enter that building again, because
there I am looked upon as a com
mon alley cat with no appreciation
for the finer arts.

operation are now declining, while
consumption is on the increase. In
the third place, because of the pro
rating program in the oil produc
ing states, the investment in the
drilling of a well may not be re
turned to the operator for a con
siderable period of time. And last
but not least, Nebraska is offer
ing a prize of $15,000 to the com
pany or individual who makes the
first discovery of oil. There is an
equal amount offered for the first
discovery of gas."
Under the provisions of the
state law, Reed and his assistants
in the conservation and survey di
vision, under the direction of Dr.
G. E. Condra, are authorized to
receive, examine, and file the logs
and drill cuttings of all the wells
drilled in the state. Considerable
time is spent in studying the rock
samples from each drilling and
regular reports are made to op
erators. The same law also serves
to protect the investor, since it
is practically impossible for an op
erator to make unfounded claims
as long as university scientists are
on the examining end.
"There is a general feeling over
the state that a good many wells
have been drilled which were cap
able of producing oil but which
were plugged for the personal
gain of the operator," Reed stated.
"Cases of this kind are practically
non-existant. In the first place, a
good showing of oil is an ex
tremely difficult thing to hide,
since drillings are closely scouted
by other companies."
Reed pointed out that wells are
now being drilled north of Harri
son in Sioux county; northwest of
Chadron in Dawes county: north
of North Platte in Lincoln county;
south of Creston in Platte county;
northwest of Homer in Dakota
county; south of Reynolds in Jef
ferson county; and southeast of
Dubois and south of Dawson in
Richardson county.
Wells Over Mile Deep.
If all the oil and gas test wells
recorded by the university were
placed end for end they would
reach a depth of 122,276 feet, or an
average depth of 2,028 feet. Ac
cording to Reed's data, the deep
est of these is located near Harris
burg in Banner county. This well
was drilled to a depth of 5,697
feet. The well near Holdrege near
ly equalled it in depth with a dis
tance of 5,678 feet. Including the
relatively deep wells drilled for
water or in prospecting for coal
the number of wells which have
served as tests for oil and gas in
the state approximates 100. Thus,
says Reed, prospecting for oil 1s
hazardous. The investor should be
sure that his operator is well quali
fied to make a complete test and
that the financing has all been
taken care of. He should be equally
certain that scientific methods
are used in making a location. Fig
ures indicate that only one test
well in a hundred is a producer.
The odds in Nebraska may be "ven
greater than 100 to one.
"The depth to which it is neces
sary to drill to make a complete
test depends upon the geologic for
mation," Reed explained. "A well
5G5 feet deep near DuBois was a

"A large percentage of Nebraska

tel rock and it is not possible to
determine the lower geologic for
mations from a study of the sur
face materials. Seismograph sur
veys are the best adapted to this
region but they are expensive
'Doodlebug' methods which pre
tend to predict the presence of oil
are unreliable. 'Creekology,' an
other favorite means of locating a
well, is based upon the assumption
that the meandeirngs of a creek or
riverbed reflect the sub-surface
structure. This also is an unscien
tific and unreliable procedure.

response they gave, found the play

"Tuesday Evenings" Changed.
With an extra production of
"The Merchant of Venice" sched
uled for the last week in July, a
change in program on the "Tues
day Evenings" sponsored by the
department of speech has been
necessary. Two dramatic recitals
have been scheduled for July 13
and July 20th in place of the ex
perimental bill of one-act plays.
The shorter plays will be pre
sented at the departmental fare
well party on August 3rd.
Because of the overflow crowd
at the first program, the main
theater in the Temple building has
been booked, assuring ample room
for all who wish to come. The
programs begin promptly at 7:15,
run for an hour and a quarter. No
admission is charged for these
student offerings and with the
added seating space an even
more cordial invitation has been
extended by the summer staff of
the department of speech.
