Rubinstein
In Concert
BY SAM WARREN.
Hailing the United States as the
world's center of musical culture,
pianist Artur Robinstein charmed
reporters Monday with a genail
ity and graciousness typical of
truly great artists. "In Europe
there are no orchestras that can
compare with the Boston and the
Philadelphia," he said enthusiasti
cally. "And it is amazing that
almost every large town has its
own symphony orchestra. It's
wonderful!"
Mr. Rubinstein, whose concert
Monday night set for Lincoln a
zenith on artistic standards, be
lieves that the public turns to
great music m war-times for an
emotional outlet and for inspira
tion. "They go as fervently to
concerts as they would go to
church!" he remarked. "I once
gave a series of 26 recitals with
in seven weeks in Mexico City
The theater was jammed every
time with almost the same audi
ence and do you know what
was going on then? A horrible
revolt with someone's being killed
every day!" On the other hand,

Two Classes.
When people put music into two
classes the classical and the
popular they are making a big
mistake, according to, Rubinstein
"There are only two kinds of
music ," he expounded, "good
and bad!" As he sees it there

Soccer Weather
Proves Too Cold
For Spectators
It was during one of those cold,
bleak, autumn afternoons after
the final class of the day when
a few of the fairer sex approached
us and pleaded with us to go
down to a field "just a little ways
away" to watch their sororities
battle out a game of soccer.
Being soft-hearted . and com
pletely befuddled as to what they
meant by the term "Soccer," we
tagged along with the hope that it
might be an event of "You Sock'er
and then 111 Sock'er." Anyhow,
we dug up our sheepskins and
proceeded down Coliseum-way,
freezing as we went.
Fern Squad.
Arrived at the field just in time
to see the gals come dashing out
of the field house as the band was
playing the last strains of "Gotta
Be This or That." The high
spirited players were clad in their
bright new uniforms that con
sisted of some of the prettiest
dungaree pants (guess they call
'em jeans) rolled up to the knees
with a bright plaid shirt to top
it off. Personally can't see how
anyone could play anything in that

E. Bartley Migrates from Guam
To Poli Sci Glass in One Month
BY SHIRLEY JENKINS.
"After spending four years in
the Air Corps I can't get used to
having time of my own" declared
Ernest Bartley, new political
science instructor. After hearing
his experiences during those four
years, I can understand why.
On Aug. 30, 1945, Mr. Bart
ley was on Guam as a staff offi
cer in the 20th Bomber Command
with its headquarters on Guam,
and one month later he was
teaching political science classes
at the university. Still on termf
nal leave from the army, Mr.
Bartley will be discharged on
Nov. 17.
During the time he was a staff
officer on Guam, he was a mem
ber of the planning committee
which charted the course of the
B-29 carrying the atomic bomb
to Hiroshima. "That was the
best-kept secret I have ever
heard," Mr, Bartley stated. The
plane . which carried the bomb ;
was stationed on Tinian island
and there were as many civillians

men were everywhere and in or
der to keep conjecture down to a
minimum, the rumor was started
by the FBI that bombs would be
dropped from a plane and con
trolled by radio. The planning
committee of which Mr. Bartley,
then Captaain Bartley, was a
member, charted the route the
plane would take without having
an inkling of the terrific bomb
it would drop.
Lead Navigator.
Mr. Bartley was lead naviga
tor on the first B-,29 raid on To
kyo on Nov. 24, 1944. Recalling
that day as one of the most inter
esting he'd ever spent, he de
scribed the high winds, up to 165
miles an hour, which met them in
Japan. After passing over Fuji
yama, they flew right over their
target and because of heavy
fighter interference could not
turn to hit it. The bombs were
dropped on the wharf area of
Tokyo.
In the briefing session before
the flight, all crew members were

Some officer asker, "What if there
