Reminiscence

Tol;iy is Charter d;iy. Such a statement
has M'oli;ilily iippt.'in'il in sonic form or other
every Fell. l." for the ast li'.l years. AYith
every celt hratioii of the university's hirtlnlay
conies a great ileal of reminiscence over ast

Id-ought alive on the university campus once
more.
Human beings are peculiar in that they
receive their greatest delight from looking
back over the years and picking out bright
spots here and there with which to sooth
their tormented souls. In fact, human nature
and human pride usually prompt one to
spend so much time reminiscing that thought
for the future and plans for what is to come
are sadly neglected.
It's lather like the situation which exists
when we of the human race go in search of
our ancestors rather than coming to the con
clusion that what we are ourselves, and what

have had to stretch his imagina
tion to have seen more than 70
students there. And classes had
been dismissed fur the affair.
There's Real Meaning.
You know, it seems like those
two words, "classes dismissed,'
have more importance to the
majority of students than all the
color or mystery which we could
add to a sentence inculcating
the words "charter day." Plans
are formulated for a week in ad
vance because of the tact tnat
there will be no 10 or 11 o'clock
classes. Many who have classes
earlier in the morning will go
home to enjoy themselves. Those
who had no early morning
classes and had their "classes
dismissed" will, no doubt, stay
home and sleeo.
And they have an argument stud'-nt council and the barb intercluh coum-.l

The board of regents meets today Mid
whether or not the Crc.it Cathedral elioir will
become affiliated with the university wiTI de
pend upon the outcome of that meeting. Ap
pearing in the Student Pulse columns of the
l;;ily . iu';,skan today is student comment
written in ;:Ierse criticism of the move to in
corporate the choir as a Unit of the university.
M;;di ef the criticism appearing in the pulse
is built upon misconceptions surrounding the
manner of affiiialing the choir with the uni
versity. Thus, it seems necessary to clear up
a lew faulty ideas which l ave grown up as a
result f.f voluntary action on the part of lhc
interested in their school, whe
ther they like it or not. Most stu
dents on this campus are inter
ested in seeing the Lincoln Ca
thedral Choir annexed into this
institution. Most students, we
believe, realize the advantages
that the Choir could bring to the
university.
A Big Favor.

Choir
To the Editor:
TblS is my f;i?l !lelii.t at
b; .'iking into print in the oli.ci.d
organ ! the braska umversily,
a'.d ,n all piobability will never b.
piif tol. Hut I simply can't keep
y .il alter all of the arties. edi
tions with them. Now that thej
are at la.-t staited, ym would
crush that with the biinging in of
somewhat a!itn iat b-astl n.ate
linl. And have you evei stopjvd to
tlnnk of the other side of it ? The
.ithcdral iho:r as it now stands
off
pi.
and fees or salaries of individual members
or conductors. Expenses for the items named
will be assumed only by the choir and any
trip funds will also be taken care of by the
choir itself. Thus, the only burden which
the university will be forced to assume is the
provision of the choir with permanent quar
ters in some campus building- not the Stu
dent Union building- as falsely reported iu
some campus comments.
The pulse also implies that the inclusion
of the elioir as a unit in the university will
naturally divest other choral groups of their
full strength and lure the personnel front one
choral group into aimther. The purpose and
quality of the choir naturally makes discrim
ination a necessity in the choice of individual
members and thereby limits the total number
in the choir. Such discrimination and plans
of the elioir could not be altered materially
after this affiliation; therefore it is highly sig
nificant that the choir will not affect any now
existing parts of the university any more, or,
in n different manner after the affiliation than
before.
As for the choir being a means of crush
ing other musical groups on the campus, it
seems rather illogical. As the present choir
is organized, and would be after affiliation
with the university, the aim of the choir is
religious and non-sectarian in nature. The
choral gTOup 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 gTeat cathedral which
might serve as a religious center for the re
ligious activities of the univerwty. 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 realisa
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.
The belief upheld by the writer of the
Student Pulse to the effect that Lincoln people
would bo denied the right to musical partici
pation if the choir should join the unixcrsity
is a bit ridiculous when one considers the fact
that eleven twe lfths of the choir is composed
of siiidtnts enrolled in the university .t the
present time. What few Lincoln people that
would be excluded from participation i:i the
choir would not be significant wl.tn one con
siders the vast number of church choirs in the
city that Mould gladly welcome a few addi
tional members.
These are the facts surrounding the ipics
tiou of affiliating the choir. They represent
mi opportunity to affiliate a nationally known
choir as a unit of the university, the only stipu
lation h.ing the provision of p rniaticnt quar
ters for the choir. The university in return
