In approximately two weeks, representatives of all student organizations on the campus will cast their votes, yes or no, on the question of whether the University of Nebraska should join the National Student Association, a nation-wide movement for the expressed purpose of sending aid to students in Europe and for promoting greater education and student leadership in this country. The , above-mentioned purposes are, no doubt, meant sincerely by the original instigators of NSA. We do not know enough about the origin of the NSA to either condemn or commend, it, but be lieve that before any student casts his vote for the organization, he should be thoroughly convinced that the expressed purposes of that group remain as its foundation and that no other elements have crept in or are TRYING now to gain control of the group's operations at Nebraska. It is a well-known fact that communistic elements in this coun try have for the past several years subsidized various STUDENTS and student groups with high sounding ideals about democracy and world government. It has been attempted to undermine groups like the NSA whose original purpose has been good. This is not to say that such is the case with the NSA here. There has been no proof of such a movement, but we are suggesting that students on this campus, instead of laughing off something like the NSA as mere foolishness, learn about it and realize the importance of the univer sity's accepting or rejecting it. Consider the NSA and similar groups not only as something of interest this year, but something that, if adopted, will continue oil this campus year after year. In a few years, the older students, who are studying under the GI bill, and who probably understand more about world affairs than the younger students, will be gone and the university will be attended almost entirely by younger people just out of high school, who will probably find more time to devote to extra-curricular activity. It is this group of students that will be influenced by the NSA and other national student organizations. It is this group that will not have formulated any definite political ideas and who will there- ' concerto that he wished to fore be more easily swayed one way or the other.

You'll hare to pay By Adaoa E NIMBLE SPANIEL by Sam Warren Two things were proved last night when guest violinist Joseph Fuchs. switched concertos on the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra pro gram, substituting Mozart's fourth violin concerto for the standard Tchaikowsky favorite first that the Mozart work is a thing of beauty not to be chalked off as an out-dated classical museum piece, and second, that the Lin coln symphony is capable of "coming through" with a com mendable performance on short notice. A "bad thumb" was given backstage as cause for canceling the Tchaikowsky piece, and ap peared to be responsible for the partial lack of flexibility in Mr. Fuchs bowing, though his left-! hand fiager work was something to marvel at. Concertmaster of the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra for 13 sea sons before entering the concert field five years ago, Fuchs iden tified himself the orchestra quite as often as he displayed himself as the virtuoso. Fuchs' own spir ited body mannerisms, including josErn FTuens. frequent turning toward the or chestra, often gave the impres sion in lh lalfr movements of orchestra personnel had read the score only one night prior to the performance, one must accord the players their just due. In the Saint-Saens "Introduc tion and Rondo Capriciosso," however, the lack of unity was less excusable, and detracted considerable from his deserved ly well-loved standby . Fuchs' tone was exceptionally brilliant and his musicianship was always apparent. Among the orchestra's offernigs, Sibelius' tone poem "Finlandia" was the outstanding number. Its movement was decisive and sure; and the choirs within the orchestra exhibited precision, par ticularly the brasses whose pas sages were clean-cut and certain. The closing number, Chabrier's 'Espana Rhapsody," which, while it is gayer and far more spirited, was performed with less technical excellence, though again, " the brasses were outstanding.

TICKETS NOW AT SCIIMOLLER'S Needles in the Haystaek BY LOUISE Me DILL. This week Ag students will be picking up copies of the Com husker Countryman, their exclu sive magazine from the. archives of the renowned Countryman of fice in Ag Union. Once a month, the door of this little room opens to reveal in the form of approxi mately 20 pages what has been going on behind it all month. Occasionally, if union-goers keep an eye open during the month, they will catch a glimpse of Editor Phil Raynard sneaking into the office with a camera and a coke. Perhaps they might even see Lois Thorfinnson and Bob Bruce, home ec and ag editor, haggling over who gets to use the one good typewriter in the office. Career Begins. The Countryman's stormy ca reer began in 1902 when its pint sized forerunner, "Agriculture," was published by the School of Agriculture. Among the early campaigns th emagazine under took was a drive to raise the status of Ag college in the minds of the rest of the student body, from "farm students" to that of college and university students. Evidence of this attitude "was found even as late as the early 1920 s when Ag students were still campaigning to have the Lin coln Traction company change the street car signs from "State Farm" to "Ag College." They were spurred by the gibes of some new comers to the faculty who rame from states where State Farm meant a penitentiary farm. After the first World war, a stu dent proposed to change the name of "Agriculture" to "The Corn- husker Countryman" increase the page size, and establish a subscription list of 1.000 so that the magazine would be eligible to print national advertising. His modifications were approved and . the Countryman was on its way. Catastrophe Strikes. Things went along fairly smoothly no libe! suits, no bounang checks until in 1933 catastrophe, in the form of debt ors, struck and the Countryman vanished. It returned in 1937 for a short stay, but the war chased it out of publication again. In March of last year, 10 years after its first revival and 45 years after its first start, the Country man was returned to circulation on campus, under the editor ship of Ag wheel Marianne Srb. Since then, the Countryman has been making its monthly appear ance as the organ of student ex pression on Ag campus. Its arti cles range from interesting re ports on the different depart ments to feature stories and car toons which bring out the bright er side of life on Ag pmpus. j Poll U Circulate Thursday the Ag Exec Board will circulate a poli on Ag cam pus concerning changes of class schedules. As many Ag students as possible will be ( asked to an swer the questions, and from these answers the bhird hopes to reach a solution to jtie long-time sore spot on campus bf class hours and schedules. The poll will be printed in tommorrow's Daily Nebraskan. Y
