TUESDAY, 'APRIL 30, 1935. TITE DAILY NEBRASKAN THREE 4 ! i i CINDER ARTISTS Tl Jaytiawks Loom as Biggest Threat In Three Way Meet. Nebraska didn't a o c o m pllah much In the way of bringing: home poll from tbe Kanaaa relaya at LWTnce IWO wetm ago, tuiu gain ed atlll fewer laurels at the Drake cinder carnival at Des Moines last we kend. But Monday afternoon Coach Schulte had ushered his Cornhuaker track scamperera and field athletes onto the stadium track site again, and set them hard at work preparing for the third competition on the Scarlet track program. Nothing daunted by their failure to bring back more than two fourth places at the Drake trackfest last Saturday, Fa scnuiie nunner cin der brigade takes off this Saturday on the first Bif Six conference con test of the season the triangular meet with Kansas State and Kan sas university at Manhattan. Bat tling for the first time this season with two track squads in which no Glenn Cunningham or Jesse Owens is likely to appear, the Huskers will be competing with two teams of their own class. The opposition at the Manhattan tri-mjet seems to be concentrated In the Kaggie men, with the Jay hawks, winners of the conference indoor and outdoor titles last year, definitely out of the picture. The Wildcats, if they continue their winning streak which carried them to the indoor crown last March at Columbia, may give the Scarlet plenty of running before the con test is concluded. But there is a little item of a five i ihfJLU-- i x MITOGA knows your body Here is a shirt that fit your figure. It slopes with the shoulders tapers with the arms drapes in at the waist.

Sincerely, point Ions to the Wildcats In a dual meet at Lincoln last winter which is still rankling in the spirit of the Nebraska track camp, and will be avenged by nothing less than the blood of the Staters this Saturday. Thus far this season, too, the track Athens of the Cornhusker state has been struggling with every kind of weather than that suitable for cinder drill. Dust storms, blustering winds, and gen eral "January in June" weather has kept Coach Schulte'a track en thusiasts from the extensive prac tice which is necessary rrom a suc cessful track campaign, and which the location of the southern schools has insured them. Given an oppor tunity to get in some good licks at practice, the Husker cinder unit is looking forward to a good deal more successful showing against the Kansas team than in the two recent relay carnivals. If Old Man Weather will but turn over a new leaf and send some balmy track days to the overlord of the Husker cinder oval, there promises to be a good deal of trou ble brewing in "them thar hills" for Jayhawk and Wildcat this Saturday. ENGINEERS' WEEK EXHIBITS TO OPEN THURSDAY NIGHT (Continued from Page 1.) cal enginers in the ME building. The chemistry engineers will dis play many industrial chemical processes and chemical oddities. Prof. C. J. Ftankforter will give a demonstration of thermite, which shows the conversation cf chemical energy into heat energy. Profes sor Ftankforter will also exhibit a miniature volcano, which is de scribed as a striking, realistic dem onstration. Oddities to be pre sented include the cold liquid light. heatless fire, and chemical magic. Civil engineers will show a grade crossing eliminator, a small scale model designed for tne Dad cross ing on Adams street in Lincoln. Picking from several possible solu tions to such a problem, a senior class in railroad engineering de cided to build an underground pass for this particular crossing. The model will be located in the MA building. Work on a working model of a locomotive by engineering student will feature the exhibit and demon strations of the mechanical engi neering department. Pouring of cast iron at 8:15 in the foundry. functioning of steam and internal combustion machines in the power lab, and the liquid air machine and air conditioner in operation at fuels, lubricants and metallograpny laboratories, are included in other demonstrations. Friday's activities will open with the convocation at 11 o'clock in the Temple with Erick Floor, engineer on the Loup River public power and irrigation project at Columbus, as speaker. Following at noon is field day at pioneers park. After a box lunch a sports program will be commenced with the outstand ing event the engineers baseball tournament. Teams from the vari ous departments will battle for the championship. A "fib-telling" con test with the college's instructors as contestants is also on the pro gram. At the evening's banquet. Gov.

P. lb ;Aida' Story Bused Upon Old Ethiopian Clash With Egypt "Aida," that gigantic musical production which is to be presented in the University coliseum May 6 by the Festival Opera company of Chicago and the University Choral union, involves a plot based upon a historical situation, which, according to his torians, was one of the great causes of "The Children of Israel" succeeding in making their escapeo from Egyptian bondage during the time of the Pharoahs. The Ethiopians, of nation to the south of Egypt, made war on the Egyptians. Altho unsuccessful in their effort to conquer the Egyp tians, they ctl least made possible a far more important historical event. In the story of the opera, a "Messenger," a tenor role that will bo sung by Parvin Witte, of the de partment of music, dramatically bursts into the King's court and announces the uprising, this being practically the beginning of the story. Students Ponder on Motive. Biblical students have often pon dered as to why the great composer Verdi selected the Ethiopian side of the struggle instead of the es cape of the Israelities, especially as he was profoundly religious and devoted considerable time to sacred music, some of his sacred composi tions, such as his Requiem Mass, beinsr considered as among the greatest religious music ever writ ten. Many have thought he believed the story reflected greater glory upon the nation under whose com mission he was writing, others de ciding that he preferred to leave the beaten trail. In the hands of Verdi, the an cient gods of Phthah, Isis, and Osiris are tendered such music as surely was never written for them during the period of their sway over Egyptian life during the time of the Pharoahs. Verdi dipped his pen with a lavish hand for the pagan gods. In his hands, the Egyptian reverence for their gods must be respected, for it represents the highest emotion of a great peo ple. The Victor Book of Opera tells how Verdi was persuaded to write AG PAGEANT DEPICTS HIS TORY FROM DISCOVERY TO RECOVERY (Continued from Page 1.) giving when the Pilgrim people feast in peace with the Red Man. More than a century elapses, and we are carried in our imagina tion to a scene in Boston, where British soldiers and citizens en gage in a street riot The gover nor of Massachusetts appears and commands the rioters to disperse. Peace and independence is at last gained for America, and later we see Betsy Ross displaying the country s first flag to the coun try's first president A lovely min uet dance follows. Again we see Indian life in America when Lewis and Clark are journeying eastward, making peace with the Indians and blazing new trails as they go. An Indian woman acts as their interpreter on their journey. Close on their trail follow trappers, hunters and mis sionaries: Pioneering people begin their long westward journeys. The In dians resent their encroachment nnd attack the camp of the white settlers. They are driven back by the white men. Friendly rela tions are at last established and the Indians are invited to join in the festivities of the new settle ment Civil War throws the young na tion into despair and weeping, but not for long. Familiar melodies take us south to cotton plantations where the Negroes are singing as they work. Gracious southern lad ies enjoy tea on the lawn as they await the return of their soldier sweethearts, and grandfather and grandmother arrive in a carriage and are eagerly welcomed by the younger folk. Tbe next episode opens with the cowboys and a quartette entertains with songs of the plains. The im migrants are streaming into the west drawn by the lure of free land. They stake out claims and prepare to build new homes. Ger mans. Russians, Bohemians, and Irish dance in then- native cos tumes to gay familiar music The OIL OU S3 Cbarae Pern.

I av4 1511 D Str HOLLAND-AMERICA LINE his masterpiece at a ttme when he felt his work was over and that be should retire. "Giuseppe Verdi was almost sixty. He had worked long, hard, and successfully, and felt he had earned the right to retire. But the Viceroy of Egypt was to open the new Grand Opera House in Cairo, he wanted a new opera for the dedication, and Verdi seemed the logical composer to write it. "A work dealing with the past grandeurs of Egypt was to be the subject to which Verdi's genius for the grandiose seemed espe cially fitted. When approached, however, he sought to evade the commission by naming an exorbi tant fee a methoa by which Grieg, in later years sought to evade the rigors of a sea voyage and an American concert tour." Verdi's Greatest. When Verdi's work was com pleted, it was realized to be the greatest work of hi3 career. He lit tle dreamed that sixteen years la ter he was to bring forth another. The opera was successful from the first It lacked none of the com poser's earlier fire, but it was more mature in style and more convinc ing in dramatic power. Its vivid plot, its golden pageantry, its rich ness of melody, of harmony, and of orchestral scoring, marked it not only as one of the best of Verdi's works, but as one or the greatest of all time. The composer realized that he was preparing a pageant an op era in magnificent setting, with plenty of room for display. He was composing for large masses of peo ple, and he did not fail to provide the melody in its simplest and most impressive form, in a setting of harmony and orchestration all might appreciate. silhouette of a big city rises in the background.

An exhibit showing research work do-ie on the coating of pills has been arranged, with X-ray pictures of their activ ity in the stomach. F. S. Bukey. assistant professor of pharmacy is in general charge. Also in the pharmacy building will be exhibits and work by stu dents in the department of physi ology. Visitors may take color vi sion tests to determine color blind ness, may find out their blood pres sure, and take hearing and lung tests during the evening. They may watch the drug action upon the heart of the turtle, see the blood circulation in a frog, ana watch a demonstration of X-ray eauipment C L. W'ible, chairman of the department has planned the program. Geologists will permit visitors to inspect their workrooms and watch them at work in Morrill hall Thursday. They have prepared ex hibits in minerology and sedimen tation in their laboratory. They will also show a model oil derrick n operation, and give an exhibition of field work. Guide tours will be run thru the museum, and Henry Reider and Frank Belt preparators, will give a demonstration cy acxuauy mounting a skeleton. MRS. C. O.

Plans for Nebraska's 1936 bas ketball machine received their first sketching Monday evening as Coach Harold W. Browne sent his veteran and yearling cage aspirants through the first scrim mage of the sprinjr session on the coliseum court. Three more games will be played before the spring drills are completed and the gen eral outline, of the Husker playing unit completed for completion next fall. A White-jerseyed quintet, which began as a strictly varsity unit, took the scrimmage by the count of 41 to 31 from a Red-shirted five, which was comDosed of freshman at the beginning. But the com binations were smrted rrequenuy throughout the game, so that al most every man was given an op portunity to play on both teams. Each man was given approximate ly the same playing time, little emphasis being placed on team combinations. George Scott, freshman guard, led the scoring column with twelve tallies scored from the field, with Lawrence Nelson, yearling center, copping ten points for second place. Harry Sorensen, veteran pivot man nabbed nine points for third, and Henry Whitaker drew eight from the bag for himself. Summaries: Whites. 41 Whitaker, f Hale.
