Morning session was completed with talks by Prof. E. C. Buehler, director of Forensics at the Uni versity of Kansas; Dr. Leroy T. T.nnco .hairman of the univer- ciiv'e cnowh Hpnartment and Dr. Curtis Elliott, of the economics department. The conference began with a WtnrA nn the history of labor disputes and labor legislation by rr rnintt rr Ijiase then made an analysis of the labor problems question lor tne purpose ox ia cilitatine discussion of the ques tion in conference groups. Prof Buehler discussed To Vnur Ideas on Labor Sound Bet ter or Worse Than They Are?" with emphasis on tne part voice and personality play in setting forth one's idea on the subject. The afternoon session was de vntrfvt tn two discussion periods with separate sessions for students and high school faculty memoers. To the Editor, The Daily Nfbraskan: The social season is well under way on this campus, and we be lieve that this year it brings with it a peculiarly serious problem. A big dance means a name band, and that means a band composed of members of the American Fed eration of Musicians. The prob lem begins with the standard con tract of the American Federation of Musicians, a contract which has been and will be signed by many student organizations. This con tract, made between the organ ization, referred to in the contract as the employer, and the musi cians, referred to in the contract as the employees, includes a clause that "the musicians performing services under this contract must be members of the American Fed eration of Musicians." Paction 1, L. B. 344, N4. 1947 Lawi, provides: "... r.or Khali any individual or cor poration or association of any kind enter into any contract, written or oral, to ex clude tmni from employment because of memberKhip in or non-membership in a labor organization." e-t!on 2 of that unw statute reads: 'The term 'labor orcani ration' meant, any organization of any kind, or any agency or employee representation com mittee or plan, which ex mm for the pur pose, in mhoie or in part, of dealing Kith employer! concerning grievance, labor dia putes. wagea. rates of pay, hour of em ployment, or conditicna of work." There should be no question that the American Federation of Musicians is a labor organization. It should be remembered that this statute was passed to make operative the provisions of Sec tions 13, 14 and IS of Article 15 of the Constitution of Nebraska. It seems to us that the Consulta tion and the statute prohibit an organization entering into a con tract with a band which will ex clude persons from employment because of non-membership in the labor organization. The penalty for violation is con tained in section 3 of the statute, which says: "Any individual, corporation, or associa tion that enter Into a contract after the effective date of Uiis act In violation of the provisions of aeetioa 1 of tbia act. nhall be derated gailty of a miademeanor. and upon conviction thereof shall be fined I in a sura of not leaa than one hundred aoiiara nor Biorv uuw kitc Dnm m- lars." We do not know the particular provisions of the contracts that have been and will be made by the student groups. It may be that the contracts do not contain the clause in question, or one similar. However, as pointed out, that clause appears- in the standard form contract. Neither do we know the final interpretation which will be placed on this law, and our con clusions may be faulty. Neverthe less, it seems to us that a serious problem is presented. It may be that our student organizations are violating the Constitution of the State of Nebraska.

Handel's oratorio, "The Mes siah," beloved the world over for more than two centuries, was given one of the most satisfying performances on this campus in recent years Cunday in the coli seum by the University Choral Union under the baton of Dr. Arthur Westbrook. The vast audi ence of more than 8,000 occupy ing every available seat and standing in' two corridors heard four soloists whose individual arias were outstanding, an or chestra whose accompaniment was the securest in many years, onH a cnnnle chorus that rose to the various demands of its dozen portion. And it was the chorus, as usual, that was the primary performer. The chorus responded to Dr. Westbrook's studied direction with collorings that ran from tu multuous full-choir climaxes to the most ethereally soft shadings. Particularly notable was the flexible timbre of the tenor sec tion whose contrasts of extreme pianissimo and resounding full voice were memorable in "His yoke is easy." Among the four soloists, tenor J. Dayton Smith and soprano Jean Thompson easily took the solo honors. Smith's rendition of the opening recitative and air, "Com fort ye my people" and "Every valley shall be exalted" set the mood of excellence that pervaded the remainder of tne program. His ringing tenor was a welcome re turn from last year's soloists. Soprano Solos Good. Miss Thompson'.- well-placed soprano, with its focused, arid type of brilliance, wa especially effective in the four soprano rec itatives which relate the story of tVi anAk' visitation to the shep herds in the fields and which leads to the chorus "Glory to God in the highest." The familiar "Lome unio Him" wa handled with much polish and was a definite highlight of the program, aitnougn ner know that my Redeemer liveth" Union Announces Saturday Bridge Tourney Winners The second round of the Union bridge tournament was completed Saturday with the teams of Bill Tyson and Joyce Keckley and J.

The vibrant contralto of Mrs. Pauline Anderson was heard to best advantage in "He shall feed His flock," which was consider ably truer in pitch than "He was despised," an air otherwise sung with finish. Donald Ellis, lately of St. Louis and Chicago opera com panies, for some reason did not choose to project his mellow bari tone sufficiently to be heard throughout the coliseum, and seemed to have a predilection for dragging the tempo. Orchestra Capable. Prepared by Emanuel Wishnow, the University Orchestra exhibited precision in string and brass sec lions, as well as a general sound ness. The audience, unfortunately, had to do without the tranquil "Pastoral Symphony" interlude due to a mishap which incapaci tated the organ shortly before performance time. The over-all success of the traditional presen tation can be credited to its con ductor.
