MANY PATRONS HEAR
CONCERT AT STUART
Music of Strings, Reeds
and Wood Winds Is
F eatured.
Despite the cold weather many
patrons of the Lincoln symphony
orchestra attended the second con
cert of the season at the Stuart
theater Sunday afternoon. The
concert under the direction of Ru
dolph Seldl featured particularly
the music of the strings, reeds, and
the woodwinds. The performance
was less brilliant than the preced
ing one due principally to the type
of music.
Jeenette Vreeland, noted Amer
ican soprano, sang "Liebestod"
from "Tristan and Isolde" and
"The Jewel Song" with a warmth
and spirit that blended smoothly
with the program.
The orchestra presented the pre
lude to "Hansel and Gretel" by
Humperdlnck and Haydn's "Lon
don Symphony." The program con
cluded with Tschalkowsky's "Ital
ien Capriccio."

has been prevalent over the United
States the past weeK is matting
itself felt here at the university,

head of the student health depart
ment. "There nave peen at least
seven flu cases in the infirmary

"and university doctors nave Deen
kept busy making house calls."
Doctor Lvman offered a bit of
warning and advice in saying that
those who come to the infirmary
for care are generally aoie to
leave inside of three days, but
that those who attempt to doctor
themselves may be in bed for as
lonr as two weeks.
Nebraska students have paid a
fee which entitles them to service
from the stuent health department.
Dr. Lyman asks that they feel free
to call a doctor when he is neeaea.

University Prepared Lesson Series
Supplies Information to Taxpayers
v.? ?
V.
Taxes that almost universal
subject of conversation and pub
lic discussion are discussed in a
series of tax lessons being pre
pared by the University of Ne
braska to supply information ior
Nebraska taxpayers.
Work on the series of twelve
chapters, known as a tax primer,
each treating some specific phase
of the tax field and published as
a separate bulletin, was started
early last summer in response to
many requests for Information
upon tax matters. The bulletins
are now in final form and are be
ing printed for public distribution.
The editor of the series is Dr.
George O. Virtue, chairman of the
department of economics at the
University of Nebraska.
"The authors are not advocating
any specific tax statutes or any
particular system of taxation,"
reads the introduction to the
series. "Their job has been to fln1
out the truth and present it in an
unprejudiced form."
Dr. Virtue's Work.
Doctor Virtue wrote six of the
twelve chapters in the series.
Other chapters were written by
Ralph H. Cole, extension econo
mist of the university; Harold
Hughes, associate professor of
rural economics at the university;
H. C. Filley, professor of rural
economics at the state university;
Dr. E. G. Callen, professor of po
litical science and sociology at

With approximately $850 alreadv
pledged to the fund to date it is
likely that the drive for permanent
decorations for the coliseum will
see successful completion by the
end of the school year, Jack Erick-
son, chairman of the Innocents
committee on permanent decora
tions, announced Saturday after
noon. Altho the decorations, if pur
chased, will necessitate an expendi
ture of approximately $3,000,
Erickson thought it probable that
if $1,500 is raised during the cur
rent year a plan of financing may
be worked out which will insure
their purchase before next fall.
Initiated Last Fall.
The project was initiated by the
Innocents society early in the fall
when in co-operation with Ray
Ramsey, secretary of the alumni
association, an interior architect
was secured to make an estimate
on the possibility of such a pro
ject. The architect declared that
at an expenditure of approximately
$3,000 a dark blue velour hang
ing could be secured to surround
the three sides of the coliseum
floor, leaving the stage open. The
wall hangings would extend up to
the edge of the balcony from
which a sky blue canopy would
branch over the entire ceiling, con
structed in such a fashion that the
ends of It could be raised and
stretched to the wall at the top
of the balcony, thus permitting its
use on certain occasions. An or
chestra shell was also included in
the plan.
'The purpose of undertaking
this project, as expressed by the
Innocents society," according to
Jack Thompson, president of that
group, "is not only to turn the
