In the small ensemble concert last Sunday and at the student recital Tuesday and Wednesday tudents occasionally had trouble Jetting to where they apparently knew they were supposed to go musically. They performed, on the whole, however, quite acceptably. Ensemble Good. Outstanding on the' Sunday concert was the mixed ensemble under the direction of Mr. Foltz. Their tone, harmony and preci sion were of the highest caliber. In ' the student recital Wednes day night Ted Branson, in play- ig Kreislers "Tambonne Chi is" showed remarkable techni cal skill and a real feeling for the spirit of the piece. Frederick Tell er, baritone, and John Dunkelber ger. violinist, also gave praise worthy performances. Las; Friday evening Mr. Don ald Glattly, tenor, and Earnest Harrison, pianist, gave another 'faculty recital. Mr. Glattly, who had had trouble with his throat and voice during the week sang despite this handicap. Except for one or two occasions when his voice weakened, Mr. Glattly Jsang admirably.

J. Ferguson, coordina tor of civilian pilot training at the university. The university plans to begin instruction in both preliminary and secondary courses about June 29 for eight weeks with each program requiring 30 hours per week in ground school classes and several hours per week in a flight training sched ule. Tentative applications for the courses are being received now. Men will be selected both by army and navy boards. Navy selections will be made from men already en listed or acceptable as seamen, second class, V-5, U. S. naval re serve. The army is extending its age limits to include men 18 to 37 with men between 18 and 26 not to be selected unless they have proved ineligible for army air corps training. For army trainee aninitiai elimination test will take the place of any formal schooling duty by the city of Lincoln in the mimirinal band. In its first con cert last Sunday the band did a fine job.

It's a quaint custom to go to a band concert on Sunday summer evenings, a custom more people should en joy. Evidently the orchestra mem bers don't mind having a strict taskmaster, in fact, they seem to like it. or him. A delegation headed by Gerry Kensey presented Mr. Wishnow with a nice noisy tie fthe loudest thev could find) and the recording of Prokofieffs "Peter and the Wolf" for his birthday Thursday. Ah birthdays! One means of measuring a university's musical standing is by the endeavor put forth by both students and faculty be yond the pedagogic demands of school. On Sunday afternoons one group gets together and plays some fancy chamber mu sic, such as Shostakovitch's string quartet, a Beethoven string quintet, the Mendelssohn octet, Brahms' sextet No. 1 in B flat opus 18 (The Spring Sex tet) and Brahms' Sextet No. 2 in G major Opus 36 (The Agatha Sextet so named for Agatha Von Siebold, one of Brahms' girl friends). Mr. Em manuel Wishnow, Miss Marjorie DeLange, Evelyn Merud, Vir ginia Clarke, Paul Koenig, Johnson Beam, Ernest Ulmer and Deiter Kober are the happy musicians. Evelvn Nerud. Dorothy Hend- rirk and Virerinia Clarke have been getting together for a little trio music. (It must be noted in passing, however, th-'t this was a c ommercial undertaking.) A string quartet composed of Eve lyn Nerud, Virginia Mcrseei, Eloise Fricke and Ruth Sibly will also be doine some chamber music. So the flame still flickers.

Neither college or high school work is required as such, the general mental test replacing both. Students selected for the uni versity's program will be given subsistence and housing. Enrol ment fees and accident insurance will be paid by the government. Enlistment in the army reserve must not be made until the last step in selection and assignment. Only after the student is fully ac cepted will he actually enlist. First step toward enrolment consists in making application to Dean Ferguson, co-ordinator of civilian pilot training.

Sidney Otto popped out with thisi bright remark. "I like my girls to be lots of fun, good dancers, of medium height and I wish they'd all wear shorts." Helen Kelley, engaging little Irish wench, chooses a man (Ha-Ha) with enough intelligence with whom to have fun without carry ing it to the ridiculous. She likes to dance at Kings, eat hamburgers and ride the octopus in between. We wonder too is the girl nor mal? We met Bob Schlater some time in our wanders and popped the question. (Oh don't we wish we could?) Says Bob, 'S'omething different in recreation as well as girls. He likes to go slum ming, play bridge and talk. (Are the last two different?) Green Pastures. Edna May Harms, freshman from Gooding, Idaho, prefers 'nice, intelligent tall, dark men with brown sparkling eyes." She can think of "a thousand ' things to do. Doesn't she like her hand some reporter brother, we wonder. Why look for dark men when such beautiful blondes are so close at home? John J. Douglass, one of the smo-o-th lads on the campus gives forth with "smooth dancer, beautiful girl, and no small talk." We have heard about such men Mr. Douglass. Jack Anderson, would-be singer. and Truex Unchurch, combine to inform the public. "The girl should have auburn colored hair, be of medium height, and of the passive type. She should like tennis, roast pigeons, and steak frys. Upchurch an engineer for your informa tion also added other juicy little bits too juicy we refretfully con clude. Good Date or Nightmare. That cute blonde behind the cashier's counter in the grill who refused to divulge his name just by the way endowed us with one of our cleverest re marks of the evening. (Well at least we think so.) "A good date is last night's dream come true or is that a, nightmare." Brother, after some of the peo ple we have met, that bit is a heavenly event. Claresse Holtorf, a school-marm from Alliance, who definitely doesn't look athletic burst out with well she didn't exactly burst but you understand "I like any kind of sport, tennis, bowling, roller- skating, .

Eisenhower has been named com mander of the United States forces in the European theater of op erations ..Thursday stirred new talk of a second front as axis forces werl continuing their drive into 'Egypt at a rapid pace. Meanwhile, as British forces were withdrawing before the axis desert drive of Field Mar shal Rommel, Prime Minister Winston Churchill assurred con gressional leaders the British will win and that the axis threat to Egypt is not as serious as some observers believe. But regardless of developments on all fronts, there is still a feel ing among American and British observers that something definite, something decisive will result from the Churchill-Roosevelt confer ences. Upon the decisions of that conference lie the hopes of the United Nations. If the allies can map a crushing campaign against the axis, consolidate their forces at vital ponits, keep supplies moving to the China, Australia, Russia and Brittain, then developments will certainly favor the United Nations but not in 1942 as many believe.
