Now, after some three years of work, NU students are making their own mark on the lawn program daily to "save" some three minutes or less. Paths are being worn on the lawns south of Social Sciences, seemingly irrespec tive of the amount of time and money spent to provide some beauty on this metropolitan campus of a large state university. High school students throughout the state wlil re ceive their "First Glance" at the University this month, courtesy of the U of N Builders. Members of the campus service organization are now mailing to prep students in Nebraska copies of the Builders' anual Bulletin, "First Glance." The 36-page magazine-like publication is designed to give high school students a look at University activities, housing, honoraries, traditions, organizations and Uni versity curriculum, requirements and registration pro cedures. "First Glance," published annually in the spring, is one of Builders' major means to "sell" the University to the young people in the state high schools.

Word just came that the iminoil.il Art Ta tum, revered king of jazz piano, is going to make an album for Capitol. Art is nearly blind, now, but I doubt if there is a match for him to be found a n y whero. During the Kenton cone last Wcdnes day I we backstage, and had a long Rleyern talk with Maynard Ferguson. He's .just finished playing "All the Things You Are." and his hp looked as if some bee hud been up to his nasty little tricks. He'd just finished playing "All out. After the Kenton tour he's going to start his own band. Strictly a dance band. I gath ered he didn't care for the mod ern too much. Incidentally, pro gram service's record of Harnet's "All the Things You Arc" with the Montreal lad on trumpet is being worn smooth. an Conversation with Kenton was rather restricted by the time ele ment. Hut I did get a chance to shake hands with him. I haven't washed the hand yet. Opinion has never been so di versified ns it has since the Ken ton concert. If you want to start a good discussion, or argument, depending on how hot-headed your friends are, just ask what they think of modern music. Tony Martin's There's No To morrow is bobbing right up around the second spot on the popularity polls this week. Don't miss the other side of this, Mar tin singing A Thousand Violins. RCA is putting out a series of fifteen albums featuring fifteen bands playing the music of the composer best suited to their style. The albums include every thing from Spade Cooley play ing the music of Billy Hill to Wayne King and Johann Strauss. My pick of the lot would be: Tommy Dorsey playing the mu sic of Cole Porter, especially "Just One of Those Things." The music of W. C. Handy, the Blues King, as played by Erskine Haw kins Handy wrote the ever fa mous "St. Louis Blues." Charlie Ventura playing Duke Ellington's top stuff. Those who listen to Krankie Laine's Black Lace be sure to listen to the lyrics carelully. I stumbled into this one inno cently. The song is great. Mindy Carson's record of Candy and Cake is another of those fast rising numbers. This Carson gal has a lot of polish in her voice, and a group whist ling background it should be one of the best. Good night, Giovanni. 'Corn Shucks' Storv Contest To End Todav Today the contest ends.

Pre viously, Ach eson told a senate appro priations sub committee his s t a t e m e nt (that he would not turn his baok on Hiss) had been misun derstood and misinterpreted.

Acheson said that his state ment of .Ian. 23 about not turn Iiik his bark on Hiss did not "disriisj the charges in the rase in any way, either dircrtly or Indirectly." That statement, he said, was not easting aspersions on the .indue or jury which rnnvlcled Hiss, a long time friend of Ache son. OKLAHOMA CITY A roving jungle leopard came home to its zoo alter (ill hours of wander ing and collapsed in a narcotic stupor, harmless as a house cat. And when the beast was found, he was back in his own lair trying to get a little sleep con suming a piece of horsomeat loaded with enough chloral hy drate to kill an ordinary man. International MOSCOW The Soviet I nion in sweeping price reductions set a new rate for the ruble four rubles to thc dollar instead of 5.0. The government decreed that the rate of exchange of the ruble would no longer be de fined in dollars. At the same time, it revalued the ruble in gold and foreign currencies. State and Loral LINCOLN The office of at torney general of Nebraska has changed hands. James H. An derson, former Scottsbluff county attorney who fixed thc nation's attention of the mop-up of illegal gambling in thc state, turned over his duties to Clar ence Beck amid rumors that the lid is now "off." Beck denied such rumors and declared. "I've been telling ennntv attornevs all over the state that it's a lot easier to keep gambling sup- j messed than it is to suppress I it in the first place." j Utonians Learn Of Collegiate Fashion Needs A recent issue of the Utah Chronicle, led olf a full page fea ture on campus coed fashions by stating the collegiate life "sets ! the pace for campus fashion I needs." Called thc Univeisity of Utah i Centennial Fashions on Parade. the article pictured six coeds modeling fashions from "go any where" wool crepe dresses to a French original cocktail gown. What to wear and where to wear it is the ceaseless problem confronting girls who have not planned their wardrobes to meet their needs, said the article. It went on to explain thc numer o. -i accessories and costumes to oe worn to campus functions. Advising coeds to begin with the basic and bi .ld around it. the Chronicle offers several sug gestions to change the iace of "that basic black suit." As for lads and fashions, Utah uins. as well as Cornhuskcr co eds have populaiized such fash ions as shoes, scatterpins. cropped hair, tweeds and silk scarv es at the necks of sweaters and blouses. Other fashions featured in thc article as modeled by "leading campus coeds" include a black siU shantung cocktail dress fea turing tiny tucks in back, sheered bodice and an uneven hemline: a maroon wool gabar dine tailored suit; a copen blue knit-like fabric party dress and a forest green gabardine suit good for classes and dates. o Wilrox 0 CLASSICAL 0 POPULAK JAZZ 0 WESTKX 0 llOOGIE SALE STARTS THURS.
