Music
Looks Up.
rpHE part of music in student life
is apparently Increasing. Mu
sical events on the campus during
the past year, interpreted in this
light, indicate that the depression
is bringing music's part in the ed
ucational curriculum back to near
normalcy. It is generally agreed that music
played a minor role in undergrad
uate life during the decade preced
ing the depression. While famous
opera companies and guest artists
frequented university campuses
during better times, students
themselves participated little in
music. Students' taste for music,
in the opinion of many, suffered
an unfortunate relapse during that
period.
Perhaps many instances may be
shown to prove that students show
little appreciation for good music.
But if we believe the recent up
turn in student interest Is a gen
eral elevation in undergraduate
taste, then good music as a major
part cf the university's extra cur
ricular program is returning to
prominence.
Last night the university pan
hellenic council presented its first
annual recital. Composed of the
three musical sororities on the
campus, the organization was
formed last fall for the purpose of
furthering student interest in mu
sic. The organization is one of
the first in the nation. It repre
sents the most recent development
toward organizing students inter
ested in music.
Other happenings on the univer
sity campus during the past sea
son may indicate greater apprecia
tion for music. Under the guid
ance of the university administra
tion, four Sunday musical con
certs were arranged last winter.
Among them were the Band, the
Messiah given by the Choral
Union, the Glee Club, and the uni
versity symphony orchestra. Over
twenty thousand individuals, many
of whom were students, attended
the concerts.
Additional evidences may be
shown which may or may not in
dicate a general trend. Perhaps
the welcome revival of music is
the natural result of an enforced
leisure. If history repeats itself,
further development of music and
other fine arts may be expected
during this period of depression.
Universities and colleges, how
ever, are being forced into making
additions to their music curricu
lums. To refresh your memory it
must be noted that nearly four
thousand high school students at
tended the annual music contest
held in Lincoln recently. In addi
tion, figures revealed lately indi
cate that music in high school pro
grams has increased by leaps and
bounds during the past few years.
Quite naturally, then, higher edu
cation must expect an increased
demand upon its present facilities.
The evident resorstion of music
to its rightful place in the univer
sity and secondary schools, we
feel, Is commendatory. It nieaiiH,
in at least one sense, that the de
pression and its subsequent leisure
period has apparently exercised a
worthwhile influence on higher education.
The Individual
Gets a Chance.
FRATERNITIES are this week
rounding out their schedule of
Intramural athletics. Competition
in golf, track, and horseshoes is
being rounded out for another
year. Interesting to note is the
statement made by Coach D. X.
Bible to the Associated Tress that
approximately 1,200 men have
participated this year in intra
mural sports. This includes not
only fraternity men, but barbs who
have played out schedules of vari
ous sports.
Slowly the university has been
building up a permanent and ex
tensive program of athletics for
those not fitted for varsity compe
tition. Every year has seen a
larger number of fraternities
entered in the various events
planned for them by the athletic
department. With the organiza
tion of the Barb Inter-Club coun
cil, provision was made by the de
partment for participation in in
tramural events by barbs. Now
Coach Bible in his statement to
the Associated Press predicts ath
letics for all in 1934.
Significant also is the statement
made recently by M. F. Ahearn,
director of athletics at Kansas
State, to the effect that intra
mural athletics on a large scale
will eventually replace the present
system' of intercollegiate compe
tition. Recreation is important in col
lege life and a well supervised
system of athletics is one of the
best ways of obtaining that desired
end. It is encouraging that ath
letic directors all over the United
States and more especially at the
university have begun to recognize
this need and make provision for
its fulfillment.
Much attention has been paid
during the past few years to "big
time" Intercollegiate competition
where the greater part of the stu
dent body gets its exercise push
ing its way into crowded stadiums.
But with boom days over, building
of large athletic plants has become
a thing of the past. The individu
al student, it seems, is getting his
rhnnee tn enter competition.
The Nebraskan commends the
forward step taken by Coach Bible
in behalf of the university. It will
be interesting to watch develop
ments during the next few years
and see how this program is ear
ned out.
A Squabble
Over Rush Rules.
'J'HE Panhellenic council has been
having quite a squabble over
the proposed summer rushing rules
for sororities. Last night, we
understand, they accepted h com
promise measure. Among other
items was noted a provision thut
$125 be the top price for rushing
expenses during the summer
months.
The item, while not alarming to
many, represents something out of
the ordinary in the way of rushing
expenses. Recently at the national
Panhellenic council it was revealed
that the average expense for a
rushing season among fourteen
representative universities was $23
per house.
At Nebraska the expense ac
count, it will be noted, is 400 per
cent higher than this. During
these times of depression sororities
must have reduced many unneces
sary items from their budget. Ne
braska sorority women might find
$50 a more suitable figure at
which to limit summer rushing ex
penses. Terhaps the high figure at
which the expense has been lim
ited is a hangover from the "era
of prosperity." Sororities, needless

lo say, have experienced many dif
ficulties during the past few years.
High rushing expenses are both
unwise and undesirable.
Perhaps this mny indicate that
sororities, as well as fraternities,
are badly in need of financial re
organization." Certainly this item,
if characteristic of other chapter
expenses, substantiates tho argu
ment that women's greek letter or
ganizations do nt draw their
members from a democratic cross
section of university life.
If sororities wish to be the dem
ocratic organizations which thoir
founders desired them to be, then
"high" finances should be consid
ered passe. At present far too
many expenses are placed on the
shoulders of women who want ot
be social successes.
