MISS TIERNEY GIVES
RADIO TALK ON MUSIC
Points Out Value of Tying
Educational Courses
With Art.
Is music a luxury, a fine embel
lishment of life, which la all well
enough after the serious business
is laid aside but nevertheless quite
dispensable? Is it true that that
attitude is rather widespread not
only among the ignorant but in
circles of wealth and considerable
education, and that many school
authorities regard music and other
arts as extra-curricular activities,
to be added only If there is plenty
of money, leisure time, and if op
portunity is readily available?
These were some of the ques
tions that were considered by Miss
Elizabeth M. Tierney, professor of
Theory and History of Music,
given in a radio talk this morning
over KFAB.
"We need to learn as a people,"
she said, "that art is a serious sort
of business; that beauty is a little
more helpful than anything else
man knows In this topsy-turvy
world and that the ideal of
beauty is more real than any other
aim he can pursue."
Miss Tierney then went on to
explain that there has been a
steady march forward in music of
academic circles. This has placed
it in a recognized position in the
educational system of tha country.
Privileges are always accom
panied by corresponding obliga
tions,, and universities and colleges
must recognize their duties, chief
among which, is the duty of sup
plying adequately trained teach
ers, explained Miss Tierney. If
musicians are to be on the same
basis as other teachers then their
training must compare favorably
with them. For this reason they
are given a broad education, a
thoro education in music and ade
quate hours devoted to educations
courses.
Miss Tierney's talk was brought
to a close with the introduction of
Miss Naomi Randall, violinist, who
received her B. F. A. degree in
education a year ago. "In addi
tion to the skill which she has
acquired in violin, she has also
completed the required work in
education," said Miss Tierney,
"Miss Randall is an example of a
cultured young person, who did
not feel it necessary to cramp and
dwarf her general educational
background in order to perfect her
art She did not feel a need to
choose between music and a gen
eral educational background she
chose them both."

of higher institutions was beeun
under Dr. Zook within the North
Central association. In April a
committee of twenty state chair
men was appointed to conduct a
survey in secondary schools with
an eye to correlating it with the
higher institutional survey. It was
the executive committee of this
body, of which Professor Reed of
the University of Nebraska is a
member, which has just met with
Dr. Zook in Chicago. Present
were representatives of the Mid
dle States association and the
Southern association. It was
there decided to make the survey

by the six regional accrediting as

committee of twenty-one will meet
in Washington with Dr. Zook to
begin work in earnest. Professor
Reed will be among those repre
senting the North Central association.
BACK FROM JTRIP IN EAST
Rev. Erck Sees Son Graduate
From Annapolis ; Also
Meets President.
Rev. H. Erck, Lutheran student
pastor, has just returned from a
six weeks trip in the east where
he vacationed in the District of
Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania
and New York.
On June 1 he attended the grad
uation exercises at Annapolis
where he heard President Roose
velt speak and saw him hand a
diploma to his son Leo, who was
graduated this spring. Leo is now
employed by the Shell Oil com
pany at Charlotte, N. C.
Later, in Washington, D. C,
Rev. Erck had the pleasure of
meeting the president when, in
company with a group of Lutheran
clergymen, they presented Roose
velt with a stamp commemorating
the 4bGth anniversary of Martin
Luther's birth. The president,
pleased to receive it, told them
that he had in his possession an
autograph of Martin Luther which
he believed to be genuine.
Rev. Erck visited relatives in
Baltimore and Philadelphia and
spent ten days in New York state
where, among other things, he
visited the national miliary acad
emy at West Point.
PREHISTORIC CAMEL
IS ON DISPLAY HERE
A prehistoric camel found in
Sioux county and now on display
at the university museum is of par
ticular interest because the skele
ton is in the exact position in
which the animal died hundreds of
thousands of years ago.
Dr. E. H. Barbour has just com
pleted cutting back the rock in
which the skelton is embedded to
make the bones of the camel visi
ble. In addition he has chisseled
out of the rock around the bones
the contour of the animal as it
must have appeared when alive.
,This camel together with two
camel heads which the university
has secured from Sioux and Morrill
county are the first specimens in
a proposed complete case of cam
els. This early forerunner Is much
smaller than the camel of today.
STUDENT
HEALTH
IS
ATTENDED TO DAILY
Office in Pharmacy Hall Is
Kept Busy With Many
Student Calls.
Over seven hundred cases, rang
ing from athletes foot to the
mumps, were taken care of by
the university student health serv
ice during the twenty-three days
from June 9 to the thirtieth. The
total number of students apply
ing for medical attention during
the month of June was estimated
by Dr. R. A. Lyman, head of the
service, to approach the thousand
mark. The number per month
during the regular term usually
amounts to 1,500.
Because of the larga number of
students coming from towns where
adequate protection in their pools
and locker rooms is not given,
athletei". foot is the most common
complaint among members of the
summer session. Colds, boils and
sinus infections are included in
the list of ailments. The infir
mary, which is remaining open
during the summer, has treated
cases of appendicitis, heart trou
ble, tonsilltis and mumps.
Laboratory Work Increased.
While the number of cases
coming to the attention of the
health service is fewer during the
summer months, the. laboratory
work is increased. For although
contagious diseases are not so
prevalent during this time, many
students and teachers from out
state take advantage of the serv
ice in the treatment of chronic
ailments, necessitating X-rays,
cardiographs, blood counts, meta
bolism tests, and other laboratory

the committee on debata of the
National Association of Teachers

chairman since 1931.
A pea hen given by Mr. and

mounted as a single specimen. An
other pea hen is coming this fall
