LECTURE GIVEN AT THE TEMPLE THEATER Lecture on, "The Development of Music," Given to First Year Students. "We need enlightened audiences in America to encourage the numerous musicians who are striving to make a place for America in the world of music," said Prof. Jacob Singer of the Fine Arts department in his fresh man lecture this week. "The nieces where we can reasonably expeqt such audiences to originate are in the uni versities of the country; and that is the reason that this rather technical lecture is being given." "The Development of Music" was Professor Singer's subject and he en deavored to show the great influence that Greek music has had upon mod ern music by means of playing phono graph records illustrating the music of different ages and of different peo ple. The most primitive music whicii exists is furnished by aboriginal tribes of American Indians. These tribes did not. have the intellectual powers or impulse to reduce their music to a system and the result is a jumbled mass of yelps and tomtom beats which has no musical value at all to civilized ears. The near east has developed a sys tem but it uses the chromatic scale of twenty notes instead of twelve so that a modern Syrian composition played on the phonograph sounded but little better than the Indian music. The Greek or Aeolian scale, accord ing to Profesnor Singer, is very much like the modern systems and the Greek Hymn to Appolo written about 300 B. C, sounds not unlike modern hymns. In fact, modern eccolesia stieal music owes its existence to the Greek Aeolian scale as it was in he third and sixth centuries that two Christian saints decided upon one of the Greek scales upon which to base all of the Christian churches. Until the thirteenth century, the elnircli ruled the music of the world as It did practically everything else, so that there was but little progress toward modern music. In the thir teenth century a movement, first starting in the Netherlands, gradually swept over all Europe and .produced a type of music called "polyphony" or "many voices." This was fastened by the great Bach who is called the father of modern music. Music of this kind develops its subject and obtains unity by playing upon one central theme with a number of in struments. The Renaissance of the sixteenth century changed many types of European culture completely and deeply affected music. Before the llennaissanco came the age of min strelsy started by the French troub- auors. These troubadors were in spired by the Spanish Moors who in turn had gained their knowledge of niusic from the Ancient Greeks whose civilization they had absorbed. (Continued on page 4.) "The Limping Lasses" Pat In An Appearance On Have you noticed any of the mem bers of the latest order started on the campus? It is to be called the Limping Lasses, the Sorrowful Six teen, or the Charley-horse Chums. It is strictly a co-ed affair, and con fined still farther-to hikers only. Long before the sun was up Sun day morning, strange, be-sweatered and knlcker-clad silhouettes began to emerge from' rooming houses and sorority houses. The meeting place wag the Temple at dawn. Before the pancake houses were filled with smoke, sixteen ambitious girls were hitting the highway for Crete.' For the first five miles the old timers and fresh ones made lively headway walking was the business of the day, and time was against them, for after their saunter into Crete, they niust catch the 3:35 train back Emerald was spurned as a resting Today is Last Chance For Annual Pictures The Cornhusker staff artist can draw you in caricature, but he cannot reproduce your true likeness In photo graph form.

J.F Chemical Engineering is Discussed by Professor in Monday Afternoon Address. "A chemical engineer is either an engineer with chemical training or a chemist with engineering training," emphasized Prof. C. J. Frankforter, of the department of chemistry, Mon day afternoon before an audience of freshmen engineers. The speaker's subject was: "Chemical Engineering as a Chemist Thinks About It." Engineering training teaches a man what to look for, An untrained man visiting a large factory, such as Henry Fords, would go through and not be able to tell what he saw, while a trained man would be able to give information concerning the factory. "The mechanical engineer works for the utilization and conservation of power while the chemical engineer work for the utilization and con servation of materials. Materials for roads and bridges are made and tested by the chemist the highway engineer who makes and uses them again. ' "In the manufacture of cement, the chemist would be at a loss with out the mechanical engineer to de sign and make the machinery and to grind and mix the materials. In min ing, the chemist gets the metal out of the ores and the engineer builds and operates the furnaces." Professor Frankforter read several papers and advertisements on the re quisites for a successful career. In concluding he urged the students to take special Interest in chemistry or any of the sciences as he may need them some day in his work. Field Geography Co-eds to Travel The Class of Field Geography for girls, in charge of Miss Vera Rigdon, will make a trip to Milford Thursday afternoon. The class will go via truck, will stop at various places, and en- route will study special geographic features, among them the glacial sheets west of Pleasant Dale, and the Blue flood plain and terraces in the vicinity of Milford. Dr. Guernsey Jones professor o English history will be unable to meet his classes for the demainder of the semester on account of illness He has been ordered to the hospital for two weeks at least to reduce a high blood pressure. Miss Alice Howell is recuperating from a serious illness at the home of Prof, and Mrs. E. H. Barbour. She was moved from a local sanitarium last Thursday. Campus Monday place as it was just seven miles out. On, on they walked. Water-blisters on weary heels began to crop out. Snug-fitting riding trousers began to slip and wrinkle at the knees and be gan to bother. And Wool Hose! Never again, on a long hike! The amateurs complained not the old hikers were ashamed to, so on they plowed against a strong wind How human was the station agut at Berks, who declared, (thougi it was only noon) that there was not time to make Crete before the tr; in. Sixteen feeble voices put up an un affective complaint, sighed, and sank to the station benches. Propaganda is being issued for a similar "Crete or bust," hike next Sunday, but bo far none of last week's names hare been duplicated. It is seldom that one has two week-ends at a stretch vacant, anyway. Call Of Springtime Overcomes All Inclinations For Studying You know, spring has the oddest effect upon some people, it acts some thing like the Fountain of Youth, that is, it makes folks think that they are in' their Becond childhood, or third. The funniest thing about Uni. people is that their ages are a deep dark secret. The girls look from ten to thirty and the boys from, oh about thirty on. Well, the ten-year-old girls and the youngest boys were having one grand est time Sunday, Monday and Tues day because the call of spring was in their hearts. Childhood games were being played in front of the sorority and fraternity houses and even on the campus. Some of tho games were very strenuous, such as "pum-pum-pull-away," "run-sheep-run," and "drop-the-handkerchief." Others were not so athletic, more mild, like jumping the rope and spinning a top. The great .bold men played base ball, and it is said that they used a broom for a bat and a foot-ball for a baseball. Oh well, it is the spirit 10 VISIT DENMARK Seventy-Five College Undergrad uates to Take Trip in Scand anavian Countries. Seventy-five American college stu dents will spend the months of July and August in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, visiting the cities and medi eval universities of the north, the fjords of Norway, tie fprests of Sveden, and the agricultural districts of Denmark. According to a state ment issued today by Hamilton Holt, president of the American-Scandinavian Foundation, these students will be officially received by the Ameri can ministers in the Scandinavian capHols. John Dynley Prince, Ameri can minister in Copenhagen, has in formed the foundation that he will plan to be in Copenhagen in July when the American party reaches there. In Sweden, arrangements for the entertainment of the American vis itors will be supervised by Dr. Svante Arrahenius, president of the Nobel Institute and, as promulgator of the theory of electrolytic dissociation, Sweden's most distinguished'scientist. Lauritz Swenson, American minister in Christlania in consultation with the head of the department of education of the Norwegian government, has planned as features of the visit to Norway an audience with King Haa kon at his summer palace, a reception at the American legation, and a lec ture on Viking antiquity by Pro fessor A. W. Brogger of the Univer sity of Christiania. In each of the Scandavian countries there is an organization for the pro motion of friendly relations with the United States through educational in terchange, the Danish-American So ciety, the Norwegian-American Foun dation, and the SwedishAmerican Foundation. By these organizations, Scandavian students are selected each year for study at American colleges and universities. These three institu tions have agreed to act as hosts of the American students participating in the present tour. Mr. James Creese Secretary of the American-Scandinavian Foundation, and Professor A. B. Benson of Yale university will ac company the group. Lectures on var ious phases of Scandinavian life and history will be given during the voy age and after arrival in Europe. The tour is arranged in conjunction with similar student tours to Italy, France, and Great Britain, all four of these tours being under the general auspices of the Institute of Interna tional Education, and members of all four groups will sail from ew York on July 1 on a liner chartered for them. The group visiting the Scand inavian countries will land at Ham- b":g nnd go directly to Copenhagen, crossing by rail the Slesvig districts regained by Denmark as a result of the world war. B Company Rifle Team. The following men shall compose the B company rifle team to shoot in the Inter-company meet early next month ami shall report at the 'gallery range for practice at every available opportunity: Triad Livinghouse, Nor ris W. Coats, Foster Mitchett, L. C. Zink, Ernest Hickman, William Mc-Dermott. of the thing, more than the act uality. Now that's' the kind of an attitude that one likes to see amongst "the young folks" it is great to see them throw off the terrible trials and trib ulations of school work (especially around mid-semester time) and to see them play, in a care free manner with their fellows. The little "deah" things with bob bed hair, tan coats and red, green, blue, yellow, violet, pink, gray or black scarfs, look very delightful and coy, in the act of jumping rope or running races. It is expected soon that several co-eds will get out their roller skates or bicycles and make a successful headway in reaching school. You remember that last semester there were two little girls that bought a minaturo auto and rode around in that during the first part of the year. It was awfully "cutie" and it is hoped that other like-attractive vehicles, so to speak, will be in evidence this spying.

PAIR OF HUSKERS TO MAT TOURNEY Two University of Nebraska grap plers have been selected to com pete iin the western intercollegiate wrestling meet which will be held at the University of Wisconsin Friday and Saturday of this week. The four leading grapplers in each class in the conference were selected to compete in the different weight division. These selections were made, on the season's record. The Nebraskans who will make the trip are Stanton A. Troutman of Pali sade and Clyde E. Thomas of Shubert Troutman wrestles in the 175-pound class, while Thomas is a 145-pounder. The pair plan to leave for Madison, Wis., Wednesday afternoon. In addition to the wrestlers two gymnasts and fencer will leave for the meet Thursday. Participation of five Nebraska men is the best show ing made for many years, as only the best men in the uniddlewestern minor sports circles are invited. Track. All track men must report to the athletic field at four o'clock this af ternoon in puit Moving pictures of every man In action will be taken. Books Ordered at Eddy Meetings Here A number of books were ordered following the visit of Sherwood Kddy. The book, that proved to bo the most popular was "Denmark", a story of a Cooperative Commonwealth. These books are now to be had at the Temple for those who ordered them. Secre tary Bill Day urges that those people who ordered the books come to the Y. M. C. A. rooms at once and get their books. The Y. M. C A. rooms are lo cated in the Temple building. ALL UNI PART! IS Armory to be Seen of Dance For All Students With Plenty of Features. Plans are being made to accom modate a record breaking crowd of students at the All-University dance next Saturday night. Northwall and his tribe of merry makers will entertain the host of students with a line or jazz and syn copated music unexcelled in the an nals of University Mixer orchestra music. Students have been demanding a party given over exclusively to danc ing some time, and the All-University party committee is going to try to appease this implacable yearning for the light fantastic with a "live" party. "Any student that misses an All University mixer, with its super abundance of genuine democracy arid intimate fellowship, is being a good deal of what the Old Uni offers in the way of making new acquaintances and lasting friendships. The stu dents as a body get together so few times that the need for getting the students more closely acquainted with each other is surely felt. Mvre fel lowship means a bigger and better university," said a member of the committee yesterday. "Come prepared to have a good time and see just how many new friends you can make. It isn't neces sary that you have a formal intro duction at our mixers just go around and introduce yourself," he continued. Checking facilities will be taken care of by a corps of able assistants. The slogan of this party is going to be "Everybody out the more the merrier." Campus Greenhouse Tells an Old Story At the front entrance of the cam rus greenhouse stands a huge cactus covered with the initials of genera tions of students. Since that time, when the greenhouse was a show place of the University and when young men took their dates walking through it on Sunday afternoon, th rue-ed gian,t has stood guarding the doorway with its bristling spikes; and since that time, too, initials have been regularly inscribed on its surface. They are not all common everyday initials, either. Several have hearts around them that were evidently in spired by the tropical stiroundings nnd the gold fish. Others are almost over grawn by clinging vines. Some are famous initials, most of them are not. Some are modern and have evidently been cut by members of recent botany classes. All of them are now on sacred ground, for a warning has been hung on the cactus "Carve No Initiate." Annual Feed Of Nebraskan Staff With Scandal Sheet Is Tonight The Rag office is buzzing with ex citement! Tonight is the night of the big "feed!" Tonight the "Rag ger," brimmed with juicy scandal, slips into the limelight again and the "inside dope" on all the staff will be flung broadside. The "Feed" will be staged in Faculty hall from 6 to 8 p. m., tonight and every reporter will be there for a good time. The meanest cub in the office finds his job of chasing down stories in the Museum or 'covering' the Mod ern Language department a colorful round when visions of the Rag Feeds loom up before him. It means a couple of hilarious hours spent In get BASEBALL ME HEAR GALL OF Fifty Candidates Report For In itial Diamond Practice of 1922 Season Tuesday.

Fifty candidates reported for dia mond practice yesterday afternoon and a greater number are expected out today. Coach Dawson, ass't Coach Frank and Captain McCrory want every bit of baseball ability in the university to be in action on the baseball field from 3 to 6 every' after noon. A heavy schedule has been arranged which consists of games with the hardest and best aggrega tions in the Missouri valley. Some fighting battles on the diamond are ahead of the Huskers this season. The first three contests are against Oklahoma and Norman, March 30 and 31, and April 1. These Oklahoma games will put the Scarlet and Cream squad to a real test and will give them opportunity tn show their "stuf." The big idea right at present is get started off right. We must beat Oklahoma. Therefore more raw ma terial is necessary if a strong ag gregation is developed here at Ne braska. Dawson and Frank can't do anything without the material. We have the best coaches in the val ley and it is up to every capable base ball man to don a uniform and make his appearance on the baseball field. More men must report for practice if Nebraska is to have the team she deserves. All of last year's varsity baseball Fquad are out with the ex ception of Dekins. Bailey and Peter son. Also there is much promising material from last years freshman lineup. The candidates of well known ability are in action already this sea son.
