gays Enlightened Audiences Come
From University
Students. 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.

"The Limping Lasses" Pat In An

Have you noticed any of the mem

the campus? It is to be called the
Limping Lasses, the Sorrowful Six

is strictly a co-ed affair, and con

Long before the sun was up Sun

the pancake houses were filled with
smoke, sixteen ambitious girls were
hitting the highway for Crete.'
For the first five miles the old

of the day, and time was against them,
for after their saunter into Crete, they

ENGINEERS HEAR
G. 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

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

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.

next year from eligible members of
this year's Junior class has been

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

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."

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

material from last years freshman
