To the Editor:
Since the Student Council expressed its good
faith and sponsorship of the affiliation of the Lin
coln cathedral choir to the university a number of
pertinent questions have arisen. In as much as the
council is the recognized voice of the students.
Prominent Lincolnites and mem- the position that it should rightfully hold on this
hers of the university faculty I campus demands that it should know the facts be
highly lauded the v ork of the Lin- j '"re not only voting on an issue, but especially af
coln Cathedral choir yesterday fixing the individual signatures of the members to
when asked their opinions about : a resolution of any kind. The special meeting that
1 was duly called to vote on the choir issue and to
find out more about the issue was no exception to
j the sound rule of acquaintance with the facta and
i the people involved behind these facts.
The resolution that was presented to the rc
i Rents, either in content or meaning has not changed
since the day it was approved but misunderstanding
: and hurried judgment has given birth to much of
i the opposition that has expressed itself in anony
mous letters to the Nebraskan and various student
; comments in general. It is only rcgretable that the
I dignity and high character of the issue has taken
I the form of mysterious phone calls to fraternities,
and printed malicious sheets posted in the Temple
; building, as well as the valuable classroom time de
voted to opposition of the affiliation.
This is not a personal issue and I am deeply
sorry that it has sometimes been misconstrued to
be that.
The good faith, intentions, and knowledge of
i the facts, by the leading proponents of the affilia
tion will be clarified and I sincerely believe will
! be highly justified and affirmed if the facts now
i in the hands of the regents and in the hands of
the Student Council representative would be gen
erally known. I choose to make a sincere ef
fort to clear up the essential issues and point out
in the best way I can, how many points of little
I consequence have been allowed to overshadow the
j proposition at hand.
The Affiliation: The purpose of the affiliation
is to ally the Lincoln Cathedral Choir with its alma
mater ,the University of Nebraska and by so doing
share the ultimate values, the aims and the promi
nence of the Choir with the solidarity and good
! faith of the University.
THE CHOIR IS NOT TO BE IN THE
UNIVERSITY.
This has always been true yet it is miscon-
i strueii more than any other part of the issue. The
attachment does not involve regular departmental

annexation. This was stipulated for two reasons
only. First: This is necessary to continue the choir
in its present form. Secondly: It is the original
wish of the council and the choir, since it has been
approached, that the affiliation shall not interfere
with the work of any department either in the au
ricular or extra-curricular activities. Any agree
ment, contracts or even hopes of existing faculty
members shall in no way be touched any more after
the affiliation than at the present time.
Before presenting the resolution before the
Council, the possible contents of this resolution and
the subsequent affiliation were studied and here
are probably the most pertinent facts: i
The NAME of the Lincoln Cathedral Choir will
be changed to "The Nebraska Cathedral Choir" ot
the University of Nebraska. 1
In matters of publicity, the name of the I'm-
versify of Nebraska will appear on all programs i
of the choir and in all appearances on radio, ami .
on any publications of the choir.
The choir definitely assumes the COST of its
music, any fees or salaries, library, robes ami tours.
The members agree to take part in the rhoir
without university CREDIT. As it has no other mo
tives such as offering credit to members, salaries
for directors or assistants, or activity ambitions to
the future Innocents or Mortar Boards, the choir
will not be subject to the usual activity eligibility
