pokes fun at stuffed shirts of the
concert stage.
In a series of numbers entitled
"A Great Concert Pianist,"
"Chopin in the Citnis Belt," "Lit

on the Keys," Scott will assail
some of the follies and amiable
weaknesses of the music world.
Pokes Fun.
In "A Great Concert Pianist,"
Scott will poke fun at the affec
tions of some of his fellow ar
tists. Some mannerisms of the
concert platform will come in for
a good natured expose, as he
"quips" and "remarks" his way
thru the selection.
In "Little Boy Genius Grows

and new library building, Boucher
had one definite statement to
make: "I received no indication
of taking over the whole univer
sity. We will continue our educa
tional program for women and
such men as may be left in college
in addition to some speicalist corps,
perhaps."
Asked for his opinion as to the
direction which the new program
might take, he said that by judg
ing from other institutions that
more than likely there would be
specialist corps established on this
campus in any one of several lines.
The corps would be composed
of men already in the army sent to
acquire a broader education in se
lected fiflds.
He compared the proposed
change for this university to the
situation at the University of Chi
cago where some 2,000 men are
taking naval training along a
specialized line.
His Summary.
In summing up his trip and the
outgrowth of it, the chancellor
wished to emphasize two things
to the students:
1. All students should continue
their education with the knowl
edge that every additional ac
complishment in the academic
field will be reflected when the
student is c!!id into the armed
services.
2. There seems to be no likeli
hood that the entire university
will be taken over by the gov
ernment and that such women
and men will be allowed to con
tinue their education as may M

keyboard from the time of his
first recital at the age of five on
thru his progress to the age of
eighty "and still spoiled-"
"Rhythm at Any Cost" and
"Mittens on the Keys" will make
use of his peculiar trade mark, the
mitten. Several years ago he in
vented for his piano students a
finger-strengthening device known
as the technich mitten which is
now widely used by musicians.
In "Mittens on the Keys" Scott
demonstrates dexterity and ac
curacy with his hands and wrists
heavily swathed in loose woollen
mittens. In "Rhythm at Any Cost,"
he begins a number bare-handed
and, without interrupting his play
ing, draws on first one mitten and
then the other before the final
bars.
Uses Mittens.
Scott uses the technich mitten
himself in practicing, and was able
so to strengtheen his fingers with
its help that in 1937 he established
a world's record for speed in a
very rapid passage based on Liszt's
"Second Hungarian Rhapsody." He
broke Paderewski's record of 26
notes per second.
In another section of his pro
gram, Scott will play swing im
pressions of leading modern pop
ular piano styles in concert im
pressions of Eddy Duchin. Bob
Zurke, Teddy Wilson, Vincent
Lopez and Count Basie.

Return to School
versity and vicinity, yesterday
completed their enlistment as
naval aviation cadets and were
sworn in at the Kansas City naval
aviation cadet selection board.
The men were recruited as the
result of a drive last week in Lin
coln to place college students in
a reserve that will enable them
to continue their school. Follow
ing their enlistment the men were
placed on inactive duty and re
turned to their school to await call
to begin the training which will
result in their being commissioned
either ensigns in the naval reserve
or second lieutenants in the marine
corps reserve. The Flying Corn
buskers will be kept together as
a unit in their training period as
long as practicable.
Those men enlisted were: W. B.
Schnase, William N. Tincher, John
Parkin, Boyd Hecht, Damain L.
Hall, Kenneth Stine. Jack D.
Frost, Paul Schoenlibcr, Harold
B. Anderson, James F. Geistlinger,
Albert E. Norton, Robert A. John

"Something definite as to the
status of this institution will be
released by Washington but as to
the exact date, we can't be too
certain. We will just have to wait
in a normal manner and see what
is going to happen," the chancellor
stated in summation.

Police and fire sirens, all city
and factory whistles will be wide
open tomorrow night at exactly
10 p. m. to announce the start of
the first blackout air raid drill in
Nebraska's history.
Of twenty minute duration, the
blackout will extend simul

the seventh corps area, which in
cludes North and South Dakota,

Missouri.
Army and civilian observation

University War Group.
While not actually under the
jurisdiction of the city OCD, under
whose direction air raids are
staged, the university will co-operate
closely with Lincoln in ob
servance of all city and national
rules. For this purpose a univer
sity war emergency committee
has been set up.
Committee faculty members are
official OCD wardens who have
been graduated from the nine
week city warden course. They
include L. F. Seaton, chairman.
C. A. Donaldson, H. M. Cox, L. W.
Hurlbut. and W. C. Harper. Bob
Schlater, editor of the Daily, is

Lights Out!
Most important rule of tomor
row's blackout is naturally to turn
all lights off. "No successful
blackout has yet been staged
when even one light has carelessly
been left burning," said Cox re
cently. All Kackout rules, while simple,
are so vital to the success or non-

out, but will tighten up on the
rules thruout succeeding unan
nounced air raid drills.
A second rule to remember is
that wardens are to be obeyed in
stantly and quietly. Any objection
which might be made to their or
ders is to be reported after the
blackout period, and not argued
at the time. Thus time, the most
valuable element in a successful
drill, may be saved. Even a sec
ond of hesitation may prove the
"guiding radio beam" to hostile
planes.
Keep Radios On.
Since the alarm, all-clear sig
nal and important announcements
will be made over all radio sta
tions, the public is advised to
keep their radios tuned to a local
station for the length of the black
out. Citizens will also be given the
all-clear by the illumination of
street lights.
Every organized house on the
campus has elected a corps of
four house wardens who will take
charge of turning lights off, keep
ing order and quiet, and taking
members to a safe place in the
house during the drill.
The war emergency committee
has also asked, in accordance
with OCD orders, that no flash
lights be used out of doors for any
reason, and when used within the
house the light beam is to be
pointed downwards and away
from doors and windows.
A "safe place" is an interior
room in which if possible there
are no windows, and has a thick
ness of two walls between it and
the outside. No one should stand
in direct line with any glass doors
or windows, because of the danger
of the force of an explosion shat
tering the glass.
