Get. i d Flag If Circulation Manager K"IB ioBt A Statesman Speaks Not everyday do university students have the oppor tunity to hear one of Europe's foremost statesmen speak on a subject of vital interest to everyone, nor do we have the privilege to meet him as a guest of the university. Carl J. Hambro, Norwegian diplomat, will address a stu dent convocation this morning at 11 a. m. in the Union ball room, speaking on "World Government in Our Time." Dr. Hambro, present head of the. Norwegian Parliament and chief Norwegian delegate to the United Nations assembly, will discuss the problems of world government using a life time of experience as background for his statements. Hav ing retained the position of head of Parliament for twenty years, he has viewed the internal workings of his govern ment, as well as others, during a wide variety of world situations. Although all classes will not be dismissed for the con vocation, many students will be able to attend and should consider it a privilege to do so. Convocations are scheduled with more than a little effort on the part of the convocation committee, and for the purpose of offering students an op portunity to meet and hear prominent lecturers, be they writers, statemen or artists. With 9,000 students enrolled, the ballroom should be filled by overflowing. A speaker's impression of a group, in this case the University of Nbraska, is derived, in part, from the attendance at the convocation. We should be the last to admit that we are not interested in world affairs, economical, political or otherwise. Ohduudha, Bhaqqiatii fishohm 3oh Capacity dudwtcc Sunday To the Editor: During the hundreds of trips between buildings I have made during the period that classes change, I have never seen a traffic officer on the city cam pus. This is the period when hopped-up engines and second gears get their excess use. Accidents are also more likely to happen during this period because of the heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic. On many occasions during the period that classes are in session, I have witnessed officers, one foot on running board, writing out parking tickets. It is time someone found out that few accidents are caused of vehicles parked in front of a red line, which may or may not have reason to be there, but that most of them are caused by moving vehicles. My reasoning may be faulty, but it seems that the most important thing that a traf fice officer can do is to help stop accidents by pre ventative measures. - It seems possible that some of the trivial viola tions that are fostered by a congested parking area should be overlooked, and that the bulk of the traffic officer's energy should be used in regulat ing moving vehicles. Very truly yours, Dick P. Bresee Dear Madame Editor: I must confess my consternation and ask "What gives?" Last Wednesday I read' in your noble paper, a declaration assuring the world, that the good, clean American girls who exist by the grace of the Pan-Helleriic Council and Towne Club would have nothing to do with the Kosmet Klub's Nebraska Sweetheart election, until the Faction is in its well-deserved grave. Sunday, I read, in your still noble paper, that the Mortar Boards, who certainly ought to be respecters of the Pan-Hellenic Council and Towne Club, have conved with Kosmet Klub to select candidates for Prince Kosmet. Is this not treachery in the ranks? When all of Nebraska womanhood has vowed to abstain from the Kosmet Klub elec tion, until the Faction is dead, how can the Mortar Boards dare abet the Kosmet Klub in arranging an election that the Faction has not promised that it will neglect? How long, then, Madame Editor, must we hear the rabble cry, "For shame!" when the name Mortar Board is mentioned? We also noticed, in the Sunday Nebraskan, that Kosmet Klub President John Dae, who is called a member of the Faction, has seven candidates for Nebraska Sweetheart up his sleeve. Now what we should like to know is this: if either a sorority woman or a Towne Club woman is chosen Nebras ka Sweetheart, will she accept the title? Is the silence of John Dale to be considered an adequate defense against the Faction's action? It appears, then, that any girl who accepts the title of Sweet Nebraska Sweetheart will be the laughting stock of the campus.

All active member of Kosmet Klub are requested to meet at :4f tonight at the Sigma Chi house, according to presi dent John Dale. musicianly organization. Proving himself an able and amusing pian ist, guest soloist Mario Braggiotti was well-received by the capacity Union ballroom audience. Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," which a majority of the audience had come to hear, was capably handled by pianist and orchestra. Mr. Braggiotti varied the original with some individualizing rubato of the tempo, but on the whole he played with vigor and clarity. Solo. Offering a solo group, Mr. Brag giotti played Addinsell's so-called "Warsaw Concerto," which is more like variations on a theme or an extended cadenza than an actual concerto for piano and orchestra. If his clarity heard earlier had dis appeared, his gusto was still pres ent. He concluded his portion with the traditional "Yankee Doodle" theme caricatured in classic style, designed to show his acquaintance with the masters and his abilily to muster ingenious wit. There was the lightness of Scar latti, the sombreness of Beethoven, the chromatics of a Chopin noc turne and the routine of Boogie Wfcogie. A concluding encore was his own arrangement of the third movement from Gershwin's "Con certo in F." Braggiotti's forte seemed to lie in doing Alec-Tem-pleton antics and playing solo ver sions of p i a n o-a n d-orchestra numbers! The audience was doubly pleased wilh the laudable per formance of the orchestra who presented a predominantly all- American program with self-confidence and skill. They opened the program with Aaron Cope land's robust "An Outdoor Over ture," which moved along briskly at all times, with its strong accents and piercing solo passages. In Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings," the orchestra achieved a restrained tonal texture. A country dance, "M o n e y Musk," made its appearance dressed up in dissonant city clothes and proved to be the least effective offering of the evening. Deviating from its contemporary course, the orchestra closed with Tschaikowsky's "Capriccio Ital ien," which, in contrnst, was per haps the most effective selection. John Brown Portrait Series Is on Display Now on display at' the univer sity art galleries in Morrill Hall are a series of 22 painting on the life and martyrdom of John Brown painted by Jacob Law rence, brilliant 29 year old Negro. The paintings will remain in Lin coln until November 27. Lawrence is the first to inter pret in paint the full story of John Brown, although the life of the zealous abolitionist has been a rich source of material for lit erature, song and drama. The paintings, from the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Lowenthal of New York, are being circulated by the American Federation of Arts, Washington, D. C, through' the courtesy, of New York's Down town gallery. Primitive Touch. His style, which appears to be a blending of modern abstraction and Negro primitivism, is fur thered by the use of gouache, watercolor mixed with Chinese white to give opacity. Lawrence, born in Atlantic City, was raised in Philadelphia and New York, getting some art training at the Harlem Art Cen ter and the American Artists school Id 1943 he enlisted in the Coast Guard, serving on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Af ter his discharge last summer, Lawrence taught at Black Moun tain college summer institute. Stale Music . . .

" Purpose of the clinic has been explained by Walter Olsen, Fre mont, president of the association, as "to give every music educaton in Nebraska an opportunity to see sosme of our outtanding music ed ucators at work with high school students; to allow Nebraska music educators to compare Ideas and get acquainted; and to get ac quainted with more good music." Pi Lambda Thela Meeting To Be Tonite at Temple Members of Pi Lambda Theta, honorary education organization, will meet tonight at 7:30 in the YMCA room of the Temple. Mary Ellen Marshall will pre sent a report on the national con vention. Joy Hill, publicity chair man, has announced that all mem bers should attend the meeting. 3Iystery Coeds . . . (Continued from Page 1.) nities with skits in the show will perform their skits completely at that time. Subjects of the skits range from women to Hell. The skit of Phi Gamma Delta is a take-off on life in a sorority house at the uni versity. Alpha Tau Omega pre sents a program done entirely in blackface, the Phi Delt Theta's will give a radio program of the Slick-Tite Hair Oil company and the Sigma Phi Epsilon skit will present a band led by a con duc tor with a German accent.

Heard on records and transcrip tions, Foster has become a favorite in the vicinity of Chicago, playing over many major networks and in the world famed Aragon and Tri anon ballrooms. Taking a regular trick at the Blackhawk lestaurant in the Windy City, Foster also plays intermittent engagements at the O'llenry Ballroom, a night spot favored by Chicago's younger crowd. Easy, Liquid Style. With an easy and liquid style, Foster has managed to change with the wishes of the public and say right near the top of the en tertainment world. Caaet officer Hammond said, "From advance re ports, we expect Foster to bring a fine band to the university and one that will measure favorably with the high standards set by previous big names band which played for the Military Ball." Men Find Out What Beauty Queens Endure And they such sweet men. at 10 in the morning, that is. Worried about whether their tie was straight, and if their shirt collars looked wilted, and if the darn in ! the heel of their left sock would show beneath the stylishly short break of that trouser leg. There really hadn't been time to do much with their hair. Those Friday night dates have a way of lasting till 12:30, and some of the lucky men with town girls hadn't made it home any too early. If they'd waited to put up their hair, the poor fellows wouldn't have had any sleep at all. Shortage. And with so little sleep, and such a shortage of tomato juice, it was so hard standing close enough to the razor for a really close shave. Cold water and a lit tle talcum did wonders for the general effect, however. So there they sat, in the stupor common to all who arise early on Saturday mornings. And getting up on Saturday morning is al ways getting up early. Calendars should be marked from 12 noon on. Charming-. Charming they were, everyone of them, as they were led forth to the slaughtering block. Not un like the Royal stock show, a la Kansas City. They walked with studied grace, no slightest tic showing the nervous tension com mon to them all. No muscle be trayed the strain, tight lipped smiles hid their perturbed souls. Horrors, what iron constitutions! What stern command of every fiber. But all has not been In vain. In come the iron lungs, and the Mortar Boards have finished their work. The Prince Kosmet candi dates have boon chosen. Look . . . (Continued from Tage 1.) for a immoderate fee, the whole story of a person's capabilities on the basis of a few routine tests. "Aptitude testing and career guidance, when scientifically practiced by trained counselors, can go a long way toward match ing the right person in the right job, by reducing poor personality adjustment, the biggest single fac tor in loss of jobs. "By the same token, the advice of quacks in high sounding but ill-informed clinics can result in serious error and confusion." For students, the best source of Information, of course, is the college they attend. For general reference, the safest bet is the National Vocational Guidance Association, in New York City.
