Students Prefer
Variety in Union
Juke Box Music
That Nebraska students who
habitate the Union grill like vari
ety in their Juke box music is re
vealed by a checkup on record
playing- last week. Receipts in
dicate that the most popular songs
were "This Love of Mine," "Begin
the Beguine," "I Know Why" and
the catchy "Sam, You Made My
Pants Too Long."
Tonight We Love," the current
adaptation of a concerto to Tschia
vosky, seems virtually certain to
be the top tune in the grill as well
as all over the nation next week.
And we venture that second
place will be copped by the record
ing of "Tis Autumn," one of those
super sweet ballads. Students who
danced to Artie Shaw list week
will remember the tune, "Blues In
the Night," which has just been
recorded and is now in the Union
machine.
Students of the graduate school
of social work will be especially
active during the discussion
groups altho provision has been
made for any student presenting
an identification card to attend
without charge.
In line with the purpose of the
conference to promote interest in
all kinds of social welfare prob
lems, special exhibits will be spon
sored both by commercial con
cerns and various social work or
ganizations. Case work, public
welfare administration and group
work will be the three main topics
forming the theme of the confer
ence along with such related sub
jects as labor, child welfare and
defense.
Fred K. Hoehler of Chicago and
Miss Elizabeth Herring of New
York, secretary for rural interests
of the national YWCA board,
will be the main speakers on
Thursday. At the annual dinner
Friday night, Magr. L. G. Ligutti,
executive secretary of the Na
tional Catholic rural life confer
ence, will discuss post-war prob
lems and the land, while Michael
Davis of New York and Miss
Edith Abbott of the University of
Chicago are to be the Saturday
leaders.
Besides these out of state
guests, discussions of the various
topics will be led by Dr. F. Z.

end L. B. Orfield of law college
along with several other Nebraska

down to the station where the real
business of rallying will get un
derway. "We're still with you team" will

ing. Before the team leaves at
8 p. m.. one of the co-captains,
