Behind world events
'I Am Very Much Alive'
Strongly reminiscent of Mark
Twain's famous statement, "re
ports of my death have been
grossly exaggerated" was yester
day's happening In a San Fran
cisco courtroom.
Probate proceedings involving
the estate of Mrs. Flora Alice
Casse were halted when the 74
year old woman walked into the
court announcing that "I'm very
much alive." The estate had al
ready been turned over to her
daughter when Mrs. Casse con
fronted the court.
Mrs. Casse was believed to have
died nearly 8 years ago in Cairo,
Egypt, but she claims that a fam
ily dispute was responsible for
that tale. She has been living in
the Ran Francisco bay region
under the names of Morris and
Beeler.
Attorney Albert Roche declared
himself "dumfounded." Imagine
what Mrs. Casse must have
thought when she heard the news.
Marshal marshals forces
Gen. George C. Marshall has
been selected by President Roose
velt to succeed Con. Malin Craig
as the army's chi-f of staff. Gen.
Marshall, now deputy chief of
staff, will head The nation's mili
tary arms during the period of its
greatest peacetime expansion. It
is reported that he may first
undertake a special military mis
sion to Brazil.
WPA demands continue
Roosevelt has addressed an
other message to the congress de
manding $1,175,000,000 in work
relief funds for the coming year.
He answered critics of his policy
who have pointed to the smaller
proportional number of unem
ployed in the totalitarian states
with the statement that those na
tions have so many on the public
payroll than the private payrolls
are necessarily leas, and con
tended that this nation does not
, .... .. ..
"owers wnen its unemployed are
measured by proportions on pri
vate payrolls.
Roosevelt and Hitler
Today Hitler will address the
German reichstag. He is expected
to make some announcement con
cerning the Roosevelt peace mes
sage demanding Rome - Berlin
guarantees of peace for the next
25 years.
Roosevelt, however, is unwilling
to accept any statement in Hit
ler's forthcoming speech as an
answer to that note. The state
department announces that no of
ficial statement will be made on
the Hitler speech until it is in
possession of a written answer to
the Roosevelt note.

Personnel man
to meet seniors
Gamble representative
comes Monday, May 1
C. T. Gibson, manager of per
sonnel with the Gamblc-Skogmo
Inc., merchandising chain comes to
Nebraska Monday May 1 to inter
view graduating seniors who are
in search of placements.
Slating in a recent letter to T.
T. Bullock that expansions in their
business will necessitate the em
ployment of a much larger per
sonnel force this spring, the visit
ing man suggested that fine op
portunities exist for good men to
forge ahead.
"I believe a laiger percentage of
men who have come from your
chool," he praised, "have made
good than of those we have taken
from any other university. Several
of your graduates," he went on to
say "are now operating key stores
in our organization."
With a comment about the su
periority complex common to most
university graduates, Gibson con
tended that Nebraska men are
conspicuous by the absence of this
common trait.
Several group meetings will be
scheduled Monday, after which
students interested may arrange
for personal consultations. All sen
iors must register with T. T. Bul
lock prior to the meetings.
100 men, 7 profs,

BURLINGTON, Vt. (IP). Back
in 1826. the student body of the
University of Vermont, enrolled m
the classical curriculum, were
classified respectively as senior
sophistcrs, junior sonhistcrs, soph
omores and fieshmen.
A college boy could pay for a
year at the university with not
over a hundred dollars and prob
ably less; there was but one col
lege building on the campus, and
the students it housed numbered
about one hundred. It was ,r0 years
before the coming of tlv first co
eds. Seven pioiessoi.s did all the
teaching. It cost a college man $20
the use fur tuition, room ivnt and
the use of the library.

NU groups participate
in Golden Spike days
The University contributed its
part to the Golden Spike days
Thursday when some 225 students
comprising the R. O. T. C. band,
Cornhusker battery of field artil
lery, and selected advanced stu
dents of the infantry and engine
ers' courses participated as unit 6
in the military parade held at
Omaha.
All participants were tipper
classmen who had volunteered and
had met university eligibility
requirements.
The group left Lincoln early
Thursday, returning the same
evening. The mobile artillery units
included sixteen trucks and motor
ized 75's Tinder the command of
Major W. 11. lhilp. Following the
parade, which lasted about one
hour and fourty-five minutes, the
university representatives at
tended a special luncheon.
Paleotitological and archaeologi
cal exhibits showing the history
of the slate from the prehistoric
to the present were sent to

assistant director of the museum,
and Dr. K. H. Bell, of the depart
ment of sociology.
National byword is
'Rubinoff and violin'
Who is Rubinoff? Ask the lob-
sterman in Maine or the orange
grower in Florida. Ring a door
bell in Waukegan or call a farmer
to any roadside fence in Nebraska.
Manhattan's troglodyte (Webster
knows) will be no more prompt in
his answer than the slow-spoken
Creole in New Orleans. They may
not, any of them, know his first
name but they all know Rubinoff.
Rubinoff's formula.
The wide acclaim Rubinoff en
joys is, of course, a direct measure
of his wide appeal. What is the
Rubinoff formula ? Briefly, this -
a rich symphonic interpretation of
popular music. Unique Rubinoff
arrangements. And always the
silken magic of his violin. He has
rallied under his banner all lovers
of music (insuiferable high-brows
and impossible low-brows except
ed), l ie has come to be known as
"Kveryhody's Artist" a sobri
quet that p'eases him mightily.
Vast audience.
And well it should. For here is
a man who, in person, has capti
vated crowds for 25 years. Here
is a man whose artistry has de
lighted millions virtually the en
tire radio audience, in more than
47,000 individual station broad
casts in seven years.
As closely associated in the lay
mind as Whittington and his cat,
or Crusoe and his man Friday, are
Rubinoff and bis violin. One mem
ber of this partnership was created
over 200 years ago, in Italy; the
other was born 40 years ago, in
Russia. Today, the adventurous
careers of both are united.
Fingers that first fumbled over
the frets of a $1.75 fiddle now en
cir.de with masterly touch the
strings of a $100,000 Stradivarius,
and it is with this matchless in
strument in hand that Rubinoff
will make his Lincoln appearance
at the coliseum, May 4th.
Phalanx initiates seven
At the Phalanx meeting, held
Tuesday niht, seven pledges
