The Cathedral Choir
Suggests A New Idea
Action on the part of the student covncil
yesterday resulted in a petition to nnnex the
Lincoln Cathedral choir as a separate unit of
the university. As with nil new moves, the
annexation idea has resulted in a great deal
of campus comment, most of which has been
favorable and some of which has been un
favorable due to fear of conflict of such a ven
ture with other departments of the university.
As the situation exists nnd as the new setup
would ultimately be incorporated, it would
seem improbable that such an affiliation could
encroach upon the rights of any of the other
university departments, for the aims and pur
poses of the choir are totally different and
apart from that maintained by any division of
the university at the present time.
As the present choir is organized, and
would be after affiliation with the univer
sity, the aim of the choir is religious and
non-sectarian in nature. The choral group
does not exist for the purpose of affording
only musical training for its participants,
but it also lives with the dream of some day
building a great cathedral which might
serve as a religious center for the religious
activities of the university. Non-sectarian in
nature, the cathedral would be open to
members of all faiths, all creeds and all
races. Thus, the annexation of the choir to
the university would lead to further realiza
tion of the establishment of an integrated
religious division in the university, a unit
which is non-existent in the institution at the
present time,
Criticism lias been leveled at. the plan on
the grounds that such an affiliation would re
sult in students deserting present campus mu
sical groups to become a part of the choir.
This attitude appears rather inconsistent in
view of the fr."t that the cathedral choir would
not issue university credit, would not bo a
means of obtaining individual music lessons,
and would attract students for spiritual as
well as musical reasons. Students would not
register for participation in the choir and the
requirements for admittance would remain the
same as those existing at the present lime. If
students were going to desert other choral
groups to participate in the choir, it, would
seem logical that they would do so at the pres
ent time, for if the choir should join the uni
versity, the organization, insofar as the stu
dent is concerned, would be no different than
at the present time. The only additional ad
vantage which the choir members will gain by
the annexation to the university will be per
manent headquarters. And it isn't conceivable
that this advantageous factor will greatly in
crease the demand for positions in the choir.
As the situation now exists it appears
that the addition of this reputable choir to
the university would mean the beginning of
a more unified religious interest on the cam
pus. It would mean a great gain in distinc
tion for the university. It would not con
flict with other departments on the campus,
for its purpose is entirely different than any
other campus division. It would not require
any reorganization on the part of any de
partment And it would not require any con
tribution on the part of the university other
than a room in which regular practice ses
sions might be held, with the advantages of
proper acoustics and the necessary amount
of space.
Present members of the choir compose a
group representative of all creeds and sects.
They likewise represent all sections of Nebras
ka as well as parts of other states. That the
choir should become a part of the university
and be given an opportunity to add its distinc
tion and merits to the campus is plausible and
hnrdlv refutable.

Tenor Makes Debut.
The famous lyric tenor has risen
rapidly to a place of hih recogni
tion since his Metropolitan debut
four years ago. Born in Verona,
Ita'y, young Nino sang in the
choir of San Fcrmo Maggiore on
Sundays and during the week he
practiced at the alleged tomb of
Romeo and Juliet, for which his
father was the custodian.
Govvani Zcnatello, old time tenor
heard the boy and taking an inter
est in him gave him lessons. Final
ly La Scala at Milan presented
Nino Martini to the Italian public
In "I Puritani." For the first time
In 90 years the aria "Credea si
Miserere" was given in the origi
nal key of D flat. Martini reached
F above C, while ordinarily the
aria was pitched a h$t tone below
D flat so that the tenor would
have to reach only high E.
Lasky Fires Martini.
Jesse Lisky. vice president of
Paramount, was in Paris and he
heard Martini on tour. The Amer
ican brought the Italian tenor
home and arranged for him to sing
in "Paramount on Parade," and to
appear in "some shorts for short
pay.'' Then Lasky fired Martini
who returned to Italy to sing in
opera.
Martini came to America to be
the leading tenor for the Philadel
phia Grand Opera company. Soon
he was singing on a Columbia
Broadcasting hour and he became
famous with the American public.
By this time Lasky had dropped
out of Paramount and become an
associate producer for Fox.
Martini Saves Lasky.
Lasky's future was quite dubious
as dubious as was Martini's when
Lasky had fired him in 1028. Mar
tini had signed to do a picture for
another company, but when he
heard that Lasky wanted him, he
canceled his contract and together
Lasky and Martini produced
"Here's to Romance." Both of them
were made, and Martini went on
to play in "Gay Desperatod'' and
will soon be seen in 'Music for
Madame."
Accompanying Martini tonight
will be Meguet Sandoval, who
claims to be Guatemala's only pro
fessional musician. Sandoval has
been accompanying Martini for
several seasons and Is a composer
in his own right. He will play two
groups. The program will be as
follows:

Omaha Wednesday.
Last night the decrepit phone on
the Rag office desk jangled. Prob
ably, had we realized the rever
berations that call was to produce,
we would not have answered. It
was Mr. Brinkman, of the Wekes-ser-Brinkman
printing concern,
calling on the matter of textbooks
the matter we presented only
several days ago.
It is, no doubt, unfortunate that
we choose only one book or publi
cation to point out the thought that
we had in mind. Probably it is
generally conceded that there are
other examples to which we could
just as well have referred. No
doubt, too, we were in error to lead
one to believe that such incidents
occurred only on this campus. We
could say, in fact, that the prac
tices to which we referred are
more common on other campuses
than on ours.
Lack of Agreement.
But to get back to the point, Mr.
Brinkman and his company print
ed the text of business administra
tion by the author to whom we re
ferred. And his figures on the cost
of printing, plastic binding, and
paper supplies on that book great
ly exceeded the figures which we
presented figures which we esti
mated on the publication of 600
copies of that text. Evidently we
set our estimates too low since we
had no definite method of acquir
ing the actual figures.
With no references to the lab
oratory set which is put out, we
hazarded upon our figures thus:
Last year there were some 471
freshmen in the college of busi
ness administration. The major
ity of these students, since the
course Is a requirement for more
advanced courses In the same
department, took that course. No
doubt, the number of freshmen
not taking the course was ex
ceeded by the number of ad
vanced students registered in the
subject. Our figure of $2,300 was
then estimated, since the actual
number of boots sold can not be
determined, at a cosf of $4.90
per volume.
No Sense of Value.
But Mr. Brinkman conceded to
these figures since he had no
knowledge of the books after they
were out of his hands. Like stu
dents who have been buying a new
edition of the book each year, he
didn't like out estimate of the cost
of printing. His actual figures
show that the cost ran much past
our $1,500 estimate even past the
$2,000 mark. The word "connec
tions'' whfch we used tn reference
to Mr. Brinkman's company was
wrong since we were only refer
ring to the splendid and just work
which we have personally had the
the company do.
But, again we say, textbooks
present a problem to the student.
The solution is the printing of
bound and set copies of the pub
lication which can be sold to the
student with the assurance that
he can sell the edition and that
others can buy the edition sec
ond handed. The only other solu
tion, which has been suggested
to us, in that printed corrections,
If there are only a few, be In
serted In the back of the publi
cation. We humbly beg pardon for cast
ing aspersions on only the text
book of Mr. Cole. The author if
this book, like authors of most
books, has printed his book at a
loss and is not gaining even just
remuneration for his valuable time
and scholarly efforts spent.
