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.

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. Sincerely,
Elmer Sprague

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.

Heard on records and transcrip

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.

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

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.

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

job, by reducing poor personality
adjustment, the biggest single fac

"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.
