Cancel the Flowers . . .
At a convocation held yesterday morning in the Union
ballroom, a group of university students tried to. present a
sincere and informative picture of the tuberculosis drive and
its purpose on this campus.
A handful of students attended.
Aside from the fact that the convocation took lots of time
and planning, the drive behind the convocation has taken
an even greater amount of time and planning. And the
purpose of the drive itself is of immediate interest to every
one of us.
As'has been explained, the campaign, if successful, will
enable Lancaster county to purchase a mobile-x-ray unit to
be used by the university in future years. The unity used
this year for x-ray pictures was borrowed from the state
health department.
The $4,000 goal set for university contributors is less
than one-fifth of the total cost o fthe unit, which is $25,000.
The remainder will be given through the Lancaster county
campaign. Surely 9,000 students can put the drive on its
feet.
Booths are open daily in the Union, Sosh and Andrews,
and on Ag campus. Cancel the flowers and join the drive.

scholarships and government aid
to qualified students.
5. The encouragement of such
student-operated institutions as
hastels, dormitories, dining halls,
etc.
6. The stimulation of student
dramatic productions, art exhibi
tions, concerts, sports events, etc.
7. Facilitation of student ex
change and travel.
The Student Council and the
delegates are interested in finding
out how the students feel about
these pertinent questions, for it
is the opinions of the students
that will dictate the voting pro
cedure to the delegates. For
these reasons a fill-in ballot will
be printed in tomorrow's Ne
braskan, and it is hoped that all
students will take the opportun-

ity to fill in the poll and return
it to the Student Council.
It is apparent, as was pointed
out at the .World Student Congress
at Prague, that students all over
the world are faced with certain
responsibilities, and it is believed
by this group that on way in
which these responsibilities of the
American student can be realized
is by the establishment of a non
partisan organization "representa
tive of all students of the United
States, democratic in principle
and practice, and devoted to the
needs and problems of students.
The topics that have been
scheduled for discussion at Chi
cago show that this organization
is preparing for the betterment of
students everywhere.
Representatives from almost all
of the national student organiza
tions as well as a majority of uni
versities and colleges throughout
the country will be present at the
conference.
BY SAM WARREN.
Handel's "Messiah" was given
a, rendition Sunday in the coli
seum which so pleased the pre
war sized audience that a deluge
of well-earned applause descend
ed upon Conductor David Foltz,
his soloists and the complete
group as the 'Hallelujah Chorus'
brought to a close another per
formance of a campus tradition
of some 20 years' standing.
Making his initial appearance
at the university as conductor of
the Choral Union orchestra and
chorus, Mr. Foltz directed with
a freshness and vitality that
brought buoyancy and aliveness
to the entire performance. A
characteristic ease showed a more
than competent knowledge of, the
score.
Soloists Satisfying-.
The four singers formed a par-
ticularly satisfying group of solo
ists. If any one of them could
be singled out as especially ef
fective, it would be Tenor Dayton
Smith who from his familiar ini
tial recitative "Comfort Ye, My
People thruout his few solos dis
played a power and yet softness
of quality perfectly suited to ora
torio style.
Equally well-received was Da.le
Ganz, whose difficult baritone
solos were handled with deftness
and ability. His baritone hai a
penetrating brilliance that car
ried it the length of the accous-tically-poor
coliseum, and a full
ness that makes for pleasant
listening.
Contrasting Color.
The contrasting colors of the
soprano and contralto's voice
quality balanced the solo selec
tions. A resounding sweetness and
clarity of .Miss Martha McGee's
soprano lent a delicacy to her
interpretations and made espe
cially delightful the four short
recitatives .from Luke beginning
with "There were shepherds
abiding in the fields." However,
she failed to make the most of
"I Know That My Redeemer
Liveth," the final solo which to
many people climaxes the ora
torio, so that it lacked convic
tion. In the person of Mrs. Pauline
Anderson, the audience found a
contralto of richness and vibrancy
that made "He Was Despised"
one of the most effective airs of
the performance.
But as usual ,it was the chorus
Cornhusker Pictures
All unaffiliated students,
Motar Boards and fraternity
men must have their pictures
taken this week if they desire
to appear In the class sections,
Joan Fankhauser, Cornhusker
managing editor announced to
day. Miss Fankhauser added that
absolutely no pictures will be
taken of sorority and residence

that all class section and frat
ernity pictures must be taken

that made the outstanding im
pression aside from the 'Hal
lelujah Chorus' which never fails
to "go over," the best-done
choruses were probably, "Surely
He hath borne our griefs," "Since
by man came death," and "O Thou
that tellest good tidings." Only in
an isolated instance or two did
the chorus pull ahead of the
orchestra, notably in "All We
Like Sheep."
A gratifying precision in the
string sections was the chief con
tribution of a well-prepared
orchestra. Myron Roberts at the
organ and Earnest Harrison at the
piano completed an integrated accompaniment.
