FORREST ESTES
For This Issue
TWENTY-FJVE YEARS OLD AND STILL NEW
For twenty-live years Handel's oratorio "The Messiah" has been
given annually by the university chorus. Thursday It will again be
presented. The production this year will differ from that of previous
years. Formerly it has been given at the Christmas season, and has
dealt with the coming of Christ. Thursday's production will treat
ct the Passion and the Resurrection. N.t only are the vocal numbers
different tout the Accompaniment is on a larger scale than ever be
fore. In addition to the full stringed orchestra of five pieces, piano
organ and cornet axe Included in the accompaniment. The trumpet
also plays a part.
Students who attend convocation Thursday not only will be
taking part in what has become a Nebraska tradition, and one of
the oldest, but also will be seizing an opportunity to enjoy very fine
music. r. "The Messiah," composed in 171 in a period of less than
three weeks, has stood the test of many years. It has been given
hundreds of times In many different places and its popularity has
never waned. Mrs. Raymond has directed the chorus in its work
for many years and has annually had charge of the oratorio pro
duction. The chorus has reached a high grade of excellence under
her supervision.- Not only would a large audience be appreciated but
an appreciative one. If classes be dismissed promtply at closing
time, students and faculty may obtain seats for the offering without
delaying the musicians in starting.
BE CAREFUL
(Contributed)
Students who incur obligations that they fail to take care of
perhaps do not realize the reflection their action brings upon the
entire student body, and the University of Nebraska. It may not be
amiss at this time to impress upon everyone that the entire institu
tion frequently suffers as the result of the often thoughtless action
of some individual or small group of Individuals.
Only recently one of the fraternities obtained from a local theater
an act to entertain them at an evening social affair. The performers
gave generously of their time and talents, which were much appreci
ated apparently. But when It came time to pay these performers
for their services the students tendered them less than one-third of
the amount the performers had been told they would receive.
Th 9 students claimed there had been "a misunderstanding" about
the price quoted them by the manager of the theater. But the
manager, who as a favor to the students had permitted the performers
tc entertain them, had told the act they would receive the amount
they asked for, and earned, so he had to "make good" to the act,
had to go down intg his own pocket to pay them for entertaining
the fraternity party.
If it is true that the students did misunderstand the price quoted
them by the manager, they should have appreciated the position in
which they placed this manager. It would have been an easy matter
to pro-rate the amount asked among all the members of the fraternity
and thus settle the claim at a trifling expense to each member.
But, as it was, no such thing was done. And when a few days
later another group of students called upon this same manager for
an act to entertain at the Cornhusker banquet at the Lincoln Hotel
he explained to them why he was adverse to permitting acts to go
outside the theater; he could not afford to go into his own pocket to
pay for others' entertainment.
The Cornhuskera got the vaudeville act for their banquet,
through the courtesy of ibis manager, but they had to pay in advance
to get it. They couldn't be trusted because only a few days before
another group of students had failed to make good on their' obliga
tions. Lincoln merchants and business men extend credit and cour
tesies to university students because they appreciate the students'
business. They assume that a student will have sufficient regard for
fits fellow students to make good his obligations. The students
should sot take advantage of the trust placed in them as students.
They may "get ewav with it" but others, entirely deserving and
worthy, will come .under suspicion and distrust as result of this
thoughtlessness.
