Empty class seats greet professors. Convertible tops go down. Men perch on steps of their houses. Coeds and their dates stroll hand in hand. Crowds head for picnics. Spring arrives at Nebraska. There's not much new this year along the "don't skip classes just because its spring" line. It's the same old story. The only new angle is the news paper staff which makes its first attempt to pound the idiom into students heads. With this firmly engraved in our minds, we don't ex pect to accomplish any mountain moving results, with our words. Nor, on the other hand, do we feel they will pass entirely unnoticed. This year, however, the gaiety of spring and the carefree attitude which it usually brings is somewhat subdued. Maybe it's the familiar "38th parallel" or "Fifth and Eighth Armies" we read In the midst of the controversy about the col lege draft deferment and its relative justice or injustice, there seems to be one point that is constantly referred to as the crux around which the argument revolves. Can everyone that wants to and deserves to nd is capable of doing the work go to college? The answer, of course, is that they cannot We who attend the University do not realize, revolving in our own little world, how few young men and women actually attend and graduate from college. It seems as though everyone we know is going to college. But this is not so. Think of that kid who sat next to you in your high school chemistry or math class and seemed to be so smart. Where was he the last time you saw him? He may have been a student at some college or university. And then on (he other hand, he may have been working in a factory or machine shop r department store. Although I dont have the figures at hand, I would estimate that not more than ten per cent of the college-aged youth of the nation is at the present attending ai institution of higher learn Latest Releases Show Of Music for Dancing, Here are some of the latest releases by your favorite recording artists. DANCE MUSIC (Male Vocal) "To Young" by Nat "King" Cole with Les Baxter and his orches tra. One of the latest by the "King" that does not include either bis trio or his piano. For solid listening with a great dance beat "To Young" is it (Female Vocal) Sarah Vaughan with the aid of Joe Lipman directing the orchestra is a combination that is hard to beat. Sarah, showing that the readers of "Downbeat' were correct in electing her as the best woman vocalist, really puts the song over as you want to hear it. lipman has done a won derful job on the orchestration. Together, the two have a definite bit. SEMI -CLASSICAL Latest in the semi-classical vein Is the work done by Percy Faith and orchestra. "Syncopated Clock" is a song that is light, rhythmic and well blended. If yon en- Moore Worlts Out Dances, Learns Lines for KK Show Jack Moore has two big jobs in the Kosmet Klub's musicial comedy, Good News." He not only has to learn his lines tor the party of "Windy," but he serves as choreographer for the show, leading members of the dancing cast through their cor rect routines every night during rehearsals. A speech major, Moore has made previous campus appear ances with the Universitey thea ter. first Experience Although this is first big ex perience in choreography, he has been familiar with the art of dancing since he was three years old, at which time he received his first lesson.

Perhaps it's the constant reminder of the draft and possible UMT and the frequent trips of coeds to army camps or the increased num ber of "Pfc's" before names on envelopes. Any way, there's something different in actions of most students. We don't have to remind males on campus that being in the upper half of their classes will lengthen the time between now and when they will wear government issued togs. They realize that only too well. We don't have to remind gals that competition for grades is keener than ever before. What sometimes does need undusting is the platform that many instructors follow: class attendance is imperative for good grades. Spring has come to Nebraska. The tempting "let's go drink beer" or "let's party" is hard to bypass. So, rather than bypass, just postpone until you get out of that three o'clock. j.k. Well then, something needs to be done about it. Obviously, one solution would be to have pub lic colleges, just like the high schools are now. But this in itself would only complicate the The best solution, it seems to me, would be of federal scholarships, awarded competitive tests given on a nation A plan similar to that of the Regent's Scholar ship might be the answer to the problem of get deserving students into college. plan should be geared to the stu the student or prospective stu dent cannot furnish himself with shelter, then this care of by the scholarship. If he cannot feed himself adequately the government should pay the bills for this too. It is accepted that a program such as the one proposed here would cost the taxpayers a tre mendous amount of money. But after all, the brain power and intelligence of the youth of the country are only a part of its resources. It is to the advantage of all of us to develop them to their greatest capacity. Variety Listening joy Faith or that type of music then for sure you will enjoy listening to "Syncopated Clock." BAND VOCAL This is really the "give-credit where-credit-due-department" Orchids to Staj Kenton and his crew for the great cutting of the record -September Song." This is one of the few times when Stan gives a vocal chore to the band, but in this record the entire song is a real "kill." Whether or not you are a Kenton fan, you are sure to enjoy this band vocal of "September Song" as done by Stan Kenton and his orchestra. -- JAZZ To those of you who go mad ever a tenor-sax. you will to wild over Gene Amnion's version of "I Can't Give You Anything But Love." Amnion's sax solo with the quartet providing back ground is one of the finest jazz records out for its type. That type of course, is the sax solo. ALBUM (33) By far the best 33-album that recent date is "Lullaby of Broad-1 way" featuring that lovely thrush. Dons Day. Doris sings the songs from the picture as they were recorded from the sound tract A wonderful al bum for all to enjoy. That's all, PauL der, Shirley Hamilton, Marty Schuster, Jeannie Simmerman, Nanci DeBord and Jo Berry. Ted James, Bill Weber, Grant Whit- ney and Scott Emerson. The show will do takeoffs on many of the dancing styles of the latter Twenties. In order to ade quately produce the correct atmosphere, Moore has used au thentic dance notes on an old fashioned kick routine for the girls chorus line, in which ten coeds will participate. Charleston Included The men will take part in the ! Charleston with the coed mem bers of the cast during one of the top numbers, "Varsity Drag.'

And so it is again with the tradition of Cotton-Denim Week out on Ag along with the Carm en;' Fair. Again the horse tank looms up forebodingly, as Joe and Jo sephine of Ag college steer clear of the obstacle by donning Jeans and cotton dresses. The horse tank is not the only thing these fellow and coeds have to fear, however. Those 3 80-pound "secret police" are watching them too. Thebe "watch-birds" are the ones who spot the traitors to the tradition. It is through them that the horse lank tactics come into play. Halrr Chested Men" In the past, these ""Hairy chest ed men" have been recruited from the football squad. Then too, the Ar.gies have been known to draft able men from their own popu lation to execute the "wrong doers."
