Ycaylir Suspends
University students found their"
interest in political party affairs
revived Wednesday and Thursday
by activity on their own doorstep.
Another chapter was added to
the Berman story this week when
the Lincoln Young Democrats
charter was suspended by State
Chairman Vernon O. Taylor, St.
Paul, Neb.
Taylor's action came after Eu
gene Berman, university junior,
attended a meeting of the state
executive committee in Grand Is
land Saturday and sponsored a
motion which would have per
mitted the Lancaster Young Dem
ocrats to register two lobbyists in
the name of the state organiza
tion at the state legislature.
Berman Not Official
Taylor stated that the reason
for rescindfng the motion was be
cause Berman, "who at the meet
ing held the official proxy of an
elected state officer of our organi
zation .introduced a proposal when
he held no official right to do so."
The organization is not in any
way objecting to the proposed fair
employment practices act which
will be the subject of the lobbying
Taylor declared, but he is object
ing to the fact "that a Wallace
man came into the meeting with
out authority" and acquired pas
sage of the motion.
Taylor announced that he had
suspended the charter until the
Lancaster Young Democrats

YM to Show
French Film
At Library
The prize-winning French film,
"Song of the Streets," will be
shown in a series of three per
formances this week-end in Love
Library auditorium. Sponsored
by the YM, the movie is noted
for the symphonic score by the
European composer Hans Eisler.
Specific times for the showings
are 8 p. m., this evening, and 8
and 9:30 p. m., Saturday. The sec
ond viewing will permit specta
tors of the basketball game to see
the movie.
"Song of the Streets" is a film
in which Eisler's characteristic
music is to be heard. It creates
and drives forward the rhythm
of the story. All the terror and
anxiety of a pursued man, along
with his own realization of the
inevitability of his capture, is
projected in the music.
Eisler, who has written the
background music for literally
dozens of European films, recent
ly commented, "To write music
for the movies is of the greatest
importance to the modern com
posers. Through this medium he
is able to reach the largest audi
ence that has ever existed in the
history of music. In the next 20
years the musical taste of the na
tion will be fashioned, for the
most part, by the music written
for the movies."
The film stars the favorite Jean
Pierre-Aumont, Madelin Ozeray,
Vladimir Sokoloff and Marcelle
Jean-Worms.
