cinder carnival at Des Moines last

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

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.

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.

;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

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.

of vanishing cream. Other students
will show pharmacy operations,
such as the preparation of tinc
tures, fluid, extracts, ointments,
and pills.
Filling prescriptions, students
will show results from right and
wrong methods. Comparisons will
be made of official and commercial
antiseptic materials in another
part of the laboratory. An exhibit

Also in the pharmacy building
will be exhibits and work by stu

SPRING DRILL MONDAY
Browne Shapes New Maples
Squad at' Next Three
Scrimmages.
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.
