Material Evidence .
The landscaping situation on the university city campus
has for many years been a constant source or disillusion
ment to students and administration alike. But with the
first breath of spring has come a glimmer of a hope that
perhaps improvements are on the way.
Today's Daily Nebraskan carries an article explaining
the work that has been done around Love library and the
Social Science building, and also gives plans for future
beautification in the way of park settings and other land
scaping. Grounds have been graded and leveled on the R
street side of both buildings, and will now be seeded in pre
paration for planting of shrubbery and trees. This is be
ing done with the idea of laying ground work for additional
and more extensive improvements in the summer and fall.
All frame buildings from 12th to 14th on R street,
which were a definite eyesore, obstructing any view of the
new library, have been torn down. Many such monstrosities
still remain on or near the campus, however, giving proo
that the job of campus beautification has just begun.
The Alumni Association of the university, according to
L. F. Seaton, operating superintendent, has a beautification
committee whose express purpose is to promote interest and
formulate plans in connection with the campus. The Asso
ciation has around $300 in its treasury, but this is only a
small part of the total amount thai is needed for the pro
posed beautification program, which will involve thousands
of dollars.
Numerous student campaigns have flared and died, with
little to show for their efforts. But with actual work now
in evidence, backed by alumni and administration as well as
the student body, it seems logical that real progress in cam
pus beautification is becoming a reality. A little pressure
and keen interest on the part of students would issue re
suits. P. L. T.

News in a
Nutshell

Minnesota Orchestra Draws
Capacity Concert Audience
BY SAM WARREN.
Lincoln experienced a musical
treat last night when the Minne
apolis Symphony orchestra played
before a crowded coliseum audi
ence. It was the first time that
a major symphony and an emi
rent conductor had appeared
juincoin. inai conductor was
Dimitri Mitropoulos. whose bril
liant direction paced a brilliant
orchestra thru an exciting eve
rung.
The program opened with ex
cerpts from Handel's famous
"Water M usic Suite," an open-air
serenade, written for a 1717 royal
procession of barges on the
Thames. Under Mitropoulos' deft
direction, dialogue between horns
and drums, each song-melody,
and the contrasting forceful fan
fares, were pronounced to give an
ever-all effect on spontaneity.
Highpoint.
Eut the highlight of the eve-
mr.g was a dynamic rendition of
Beethoven s mighty "Seventh
Symphony," the symphony which
Lincolnites had chosen at the
conductor's request some weeks
ago. The entire work was an
abundance of melody from in
troduction to finale. Even the
Allegretto, slower than any other
movement, cannot be called slow
for there is no slow movement.
Moving from the classic forms
of Beethoven through th eimpres
sionism of modern music, the
orchestra presented Debussy's
"Afternoon of a Faun." Called
a "masterpiece of design," the
symphonic poem was played with
much of its intenden tone-painting.
Balance.
Mitropoulos seemed to strike a
Nebraska Sweetheart

announced at the
K. K. SPRING REVUE
balance between straightforward
ness and tone-melding with which
different orchestras intrpret this
piece.
Mr. Mitropoulos was a picture
to see! Conducting without score
and with most unorthodox ges
tures, he drew the best in tonal
varieties from his men. The
slightest flicker from his India
rubber arms brought the intended
response. Concert-goers found
him genial and generous: genial
when he mixed casually with
them during the intermission and
generous when he consistently
had thhe orchestra rise to share
his applause. Generous also was
his granting of encores. The con
trast of those two encores spelled
a perfect finis to an excellent con
cert for the first was the gentle,
lyric "Andante Cantabile" of
Tchaikowsky and the second was
the robust "Semiramis Overture"
by Rossini.
WAA Council
A meeting: of the old and
new WAA Council will be held
tonight at 5 p. m. in the WAA
Lounge.
TEHRAN Russia and Iran have signed a treaty pro
viding for establishment of a joint Russo-Iranian oil comi
pany and evacuation of the red army from Iran by May 5.
NEW YORK After agreeing to withdraw her troops
from Iran, Russia has asked that the Russo-Iran question
be completely dropped from the agenda of the UNO, and
that the final settlement of the question be left up to the
two countries concerned with the issue. Secretary of State
James F. Byrnes indicated Monday that the United States
is opposed to dropping the Iranian question from the UNO
security council, but he did not state flatly that this govern
ment would fight any attempt to drop the issue.
WASHINGTON A conference of Big Four foreign
ministers in Paris late this month to speed final peace
settlements with Germany's former European allies now
seems virtually assured. Russia and Great Britain have
already agreed to a proposal by the United States for such
a meeting to be held April 25. France has not yet replied.
The military committee m the House of Representatives
has been busy for some time working on plans for extending:
the draft law. The committee is now reported to be willing
to pass a 12-month draft act extension with a four or six
months ban on new inductions.
TOKYO The U.S. army has found two truckloads of
precious metals ingots in the mud of Tokyo bay. The
metals, believed to be worth something like two billion dol
lars, were to be used "in building up a greater Japan after
things have quieted down," according to Japanese armv
officers.
Friendship Is a Marvelous Thing;
Beware of the Undermining Species
Friends are very necessary to
the generation of Americans prev
alent. Being surrounded by peo
pie on all four sides, we must
find among the throngs some few
upon whom to display our affec
tions
Friends as we see them, can be
divided into two categories, ac
quaintances and close associations
The species which fall under
these classes are wide and var
ied, and more varied.
First there's the buddy-buddy,
backslapping, cheerful, joke
snaring individual who never
fails to come into your life at its
darkest moment with his aggra
vating grin. But bear with his
jovialities and remember its this
type of person who makes a big
name for himself.
Copy Artist.
The theme copying friend is a
menace to society. He goes around
from room to room and hits yours
as you are ready to douse the
lights because you were warned.
Consequently you are forced in
the name of pleasantries to search
thru your file (unless you want
him to take all) and find the
last theme you wrote and slaved
over on the "Possibilities of the
Basio Procundus."
Another unforgettable acquain
tance is the personality who is al
ways on hand when your mother

also one of which to be careful.

have you take his mascot for a
