Editor Daily Nebraskan.
Dear Editor: Your column In
The Daily Nebraskan, Oct. 10,
called "No Checks, No Excuses,"
hits the nail on the head , . . but
not hard enough.
My wife offers a simple solu
tion for solving the late check sit
uation which I think would clear
up the whole mess and, it's worth
a thought or two, i.e., "Let the en
tire office staff of the V. be
paid only after all veterans com
pensation and subsistence checks
have been made out and are in the
mail."
Sounds simple to me and it
ought to provide the incentive so
badly needed on the corner of
12th and O.

Beggs Deplores
Surplus of
Community Spirit
Domination of an economic re
gion by one community is bad for
the state and the nation. This was
the keynote of a speech by Dr.
Walter K. Beggs to the South
Platte United Chambers of Com
merce. Dr. Beggs is Associate Professor
of History, Principles of Educa
tion, and Secondary Education.
Beggs said that community
spirit is a good thing, but that it
can be easily overdone. He said
that towns should get together
with other towns in their vicinity
when planning civic activities, so
that fairs and celebrations do not
conflict.
Nebraska, and the entire coun
try, too, would profit if individual
communities could get along bet
ter with their neighbors. Beees
said. I

The Lincoln Cathedral Choir
the choir that progressed from a
modest practice room in Lincoln
to appearances at the White
House and the New York world
fair is reorganizing after its
war-time moratorium to carry on
its established reputation.
The man in front of the choir
in fact, the man who IS the
Cathedral choir is John M. Ros-
hrrnnph former dean of the
school of music, hounding the
in 1920. he has been its
director during the 20-odd years
since its establishment until l4Z
when the war seized its male per
sonnel. Now after five years, Mr
Rosborough and his . choir are
stnrtinff out tocether on the sec
ond phase of their history. Only
a few places in the membership
remain to be filled. Members are
predominantly students.
The full choir rehearses three
times a week at Emanuel Meth
odist church at 15th and "U,"
Monday from 5 to 5:45 p.m., and
Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30
to 8:30. Choir members memorize
their individual parts of a selec
tion at sectional rehearsals before
they hear it as a whole. Obvi
ously, Cathedral choristers have
no time us lor omer cnorai
groups
Genesis in Berlin.
It was while on a three-year
study-tour of Europe following
his graduation from Northwest
ern University that John Rosbor
ough first got the idea for his
choir. In Berlin he heard Com
poser Richard Strauss direct his
a capclla Royal Hochschule sing
ers. "I decided then and there
that if I ever had the chance, I'd
have an a capella choir myself,"
he said in an interview.
Mr. Rosborough returned from
his voyage in 1909 to teach music
theory at the university and in
1920 became dean of the school
of music, at which time he or
ganized the choir. The group con
sisted of students who, on their
own time and without receiving
credit, practiced in a small, h-igh-ceilinged
room above the Eagle
apartments. The room had a rug
factory on one side and a restau
rant on the other, but these dif
ficulties were compensated by the
high ceiling, which was acustic
ally good.
Rising Recognition.
Eventually, the excellence of
the group's singing began to at
tract public attention. Statewide
and nationwide recognition fol
lowed eradually. culminating in
singing for the President's annual
Christmas Eve party at the White
House in 1934, and being dele
gated by the state legislature in
1940 to represent Nebraska at the
New York world's fair for a two
week appearance at the Temple
of Religion.
During their stay in New York
(27 of the 60 choristers had never
been outside Nebraska in their
lives) the choir members and di
rector were guests in the home of
Lily Pons, lived stylishly at the
Waldorf-Astoria, and answered
innumerable questions about the
buffaloes and Indians in Ne
braska! Ideally suited to direct such a
group, Mr. Rosborough shows un
consciously that his love for mu
sic is intense. His vitality and en
thusiasm, even after more than
40 years of hard work, are re
markable. He has worked all his
life with students, and under
stands young people.
Glad that the choir is not con
fined by school periods or other
academic restrictions, he ob
served, "I suppose it's really
wrong to try to regiment a choir.
In my choir we never call the
roll but we never have any ab
sences, either "
To Rosborough, it s the mood
of the rehearsal that is most im
portant of all. "If music is to give
person a chance to relax and
forget his problems, the director
has to set theV mood. When you
direct a choir," he went on,
"you've got to well to open the
windows and let the angels fly
in."
With a great deal of pleasure
