A Hindrance?
To a Choir Critic
Approximately TOO persons were in attend
ance at the performance given by the Great
Cathedral choir last Sunday, nnd several thou
sand more heard Ihe program as carried out on
the air waves. Of those thousands who lis
tened to the choir's presentation, it would be
a safe guess that only a few, if any, failed 1o
thrill to the excellence and inspiration which
the choral group displayed. Such distinguished
guests as Chancellor and Mrs. E. A. Burnett,
Slayer and Mrs. Orin S. Copeland, and mem
bers of the Mortar Hoard and Innocents soci
ety were present to hear the program.
But it was not the excellence of the mu
sic, nor the enthusiasm of the crowd which
caught our attention alone. Rather was it
the vision of that which provided the back
ground and goal of the choir. It was not
just an ordinary choral group, but rather a
choir whose aim and ambition is some day to
build a Great Cathedral which will provide a
means of unifying all religious sects in a
single religious center.
That the choir represented more than a
body which existed for musical traininp alone
was displayed by the outstanding performer
in Sunday's propram. Those who heard the
propram will remember thrilling to the choir's
interpretation of "Ave Maria" and the splen
did solo work done by a university student,
John Bass. One could not help but be im
pressed by Mr. Lass's solo work, for without
voice study and traininp, he represented a per
son who was singing for the sheer joy of sing
ing and who was proud to be a part of an or
ganization whose aim is so praiseworthy. Com
ment in the editorial columns of the Lincoln
Star concerning Mtl Bass's performance de
clared: "There is both quality and volume in
Mr. Bass's voice. These who heard him either
in the hall where the concert was held or in
the quiet of their own homes must have been
impressed with the sweetness, the sureness, and
the feeling with which he sanp. There are a
good many names in professional music ranks,
drawing large auifiences and reaping a golden
harvest, who would find themselves hard put
to match Mr. Bass's performance."
Appearing in the student pulse column
today is a criticism directed at the plan of
'affiliating the Cathedral choir as a unit of
the university. It is the contention of the
pulse writer that there is a sufficient number
of choral groups on the campus at the pres
ent time to care for the choral educational
needs of the university. That may be true
to a certain degree, but the writer must ad
mit that there is no choral group on the
campus which possesses the spiritual goal
such as that maintained by the choir. Like
wise, the writer is wrong in assuming that
the chief aim of the choir is choral education.
As has been pointed out many time-, the
choir '8 aim is to build a Great Cathedral and
establish a religious center for all sects.
That the aim is not generally interpreted as
a choral education is displayed by the fact
that such students as Mr. Bass, who is not
studying voice, enter the choir because the
choir offers not only an outlet for their musi
cal talents, but also gives a certain amount
of spiritual inspiration.
What grounds the pulse writer has for
saying that a choir of this type would overlap
with any university choral unions now in exist
ence are unknown. But it would seem that if
critics of the affiliation plan would look far
ther than the ends of their noses nnd discover
the real purposes of the Cathedral choir, they
could not compare the ultimate achievements
of the choir with other choral groups on the
campus. The Cathedral choir would eventually
achieve a religious unification on the campus
which could not be and is not being established
by any choral groups now existing.
It is the contention of the pulse writer
that the excellent singers on the campus
would be divided into two groups, rather
than being brought together into one single
organization. Here again, we would criticize
the writer for not looking at the facts as
they now exist. At the present time eleven
twelfths of the Cathedral choir membership
is composed of university students. We agree
with the writer that members of the Cathe
dral choir do not have time to participate in
any other choral group, but whether they
neglect other choral groups while the choir is
outside the university or whether they do it
should the choir be affiliated with the uni
versity seems to make no difference the
point is that the choir would not detract
from the membership of campus choral
groups as an affiliate of the university any
more than it does at the present time. After
all the membership of the Cathedral choir is
limited and the choir, as an affiliate of the
university, would not be apt to enlarge its
membership. Thus, it would seem that the
university choral groups would retain the
same quality of singers in their membership
as they now possess even if the choir were
affiliated.
That the Cathedral choir would not add a
choral group to the university materially simi
lar to any now exist inp is shown by a compari
son of its purposes and background with other
choral groups. It has been pointed out that
its purpose is spiritual in nature. It has as its
background IS years of organization and build
ing, from which has emerged an unusually dis
tinguished and excellent choir. Neither the
purpop. nor background of the nationally
known Cathedral choir compares with any
choral group now existing on the campus.

To the Editor: !
Many well intentioncd, but ill- j
informed articles have appeared in ;
the Daily Nebraskan in regard to
the proposed affiliation of the i
Cathedral Choir with the Vniver- j
sity of Nebraska. In fairness to!
the student body, I feel that they!
should be informed as to the na-j
ture of such a proposal. Needless ;
to say, such comments which 1 1
shall make, are not to he con-'
strued as being personal or directed j
against any individuals who arc
proponents of this plan.
As most students know, the.
Choral program as outlined thisj
year includes the Varsity Glee)
club, the Freshman Glee club, I
Girls' Chorus and the Vniversity:
Singers (an a capella choir of CO;
voices).
It is the intention that such n j
program would prove to fulfill
completely the choral educational ,
needs on the campus, and would j
represent a unified whole. Any!
BLUunua vwiu nine tii iii-ii,iii'u 111
either of these groups have given
this program their enthusiastic
support.
TTie adoption of the proposed
plan is a decided hindrance to the
established program. Since it will
divide the interest between two
groups both striving for this ex
cellence the cooperation of the
best singers of the university is
paramount. For example, of the
225 singers engaged in carrying
out the program on the campus,
there is but one student who is
able to affiliate with both groups.
Two organiiUitions with such ma
terial similarity on the campus is
directly defeating the unification
for which we are working.

"In view of the fact that the
schools have failed to acquaint
many youths with their own quali
fications and with the opportuni
ties open to them in adult life,
some effective means must be de
veloped for giving the 'out if
school' youths of each community
the information and help the
schools should have given them.'
Dr. Marion R. Trabue. dean of ti e
school of educition, Pennsylvania
State college, believes a new co
operative enterprise should be set
up in each community to he;p

WASHINGTON, D. C There
are hundreds of instances of indi
viduals w howeer so sincere in
their desire for a college education
that they overcame tremendous
obstacles to realize their ambi
tions. Many students pay their ex
penses by working, others have
overcome such handicaps as being
crippled or blind. In St. Louis,
however, there are more than 100
students who are attempting an
even more arduous task in their
effort to obtain a college educa
tion. Theses tudents, now enrolled in
a WPA "Freshman College," are
promoting the establishment of a
municipal college. The WPA col
lege, open to any high school grad
uate, is soon to be discontinued be
cause of a reduction in federal
funds. The students want to keep
up their college work and they are
pressing the idea of the establish
ment of a city college for St.
Louis.
GOBLINS OUT
TO GET YOU IF
YOU DIDN'T VOTE
Lobbying at the polls yesterday
convinced us of only one thing.
And that is the fact that all peo
ple are alike, they all like to feel
convinced of an issue and then
ply on their friends that same
sensation. Such was the case yes
terday! Lobbying in itself is probably
permissable as long as the lobbyist
confines his practices to the areas
set up for him. But ' yesterday 8
practice, whether you saw it or
not, was not within the picket
fence of the ethical. As a result,
whether you knew it or not, sev
eral over-spirited prom girl soror
ity sisters were shown the Temple
doors yesterday afternoon.
The prom girl lobby, however,
wasn't the most important piece
of work that was done at the
polls yesterday. Any sorority
freshman can make the mistake
of getting too friendly and close
to the pencil and ballot, but the
other ease ot representation at
the booths was so petty, uncalled
for and unimportant that its
vices should be exposed to the
fullest extent. Little did the
Daily Nebraskan realize that
when it printed its special ques
tionaires, petty officials would
see that even those were filled
properly.
WE DEFINITELY KNOW.
We associated this lobby with
the first question on the Daily Ne
hraskan ballot. At least two cases
of this practice were detected not
more than 25 feet away from the
polls late yesterday afternoon.
Four voters, who are all we could
get to look innocent enough to be
lobbied upon, reported that spirited
individuals all above the first
year in school had definitely told
them to vote negatively. The
names of both these men could be
divulged.
This petty practice over the
issue which has seemed to take
the campus by storm cannot be
blamtd on the Student council
representatives at the polls. Had
they known such a thing was
going on, the lobbyists repre
senting this particular school
would have seen the same door
that the sorority girls saw. We
don't know, but the work must
have been so clever that it could
not be noticed.
All this petty philandering only
goes to show that students are hu
man. Like men in government, like
in Kansas City's voting system,
students like to lobby. There is
such a thing, however, as a differ
ence in special representation.
Lobbicsts in government and even
the prom girl lobbiests, we think,
knew much about that which they
were talking. Other lobbies, how
ever, can be conducted by indi
viduals who know nothing of the
background of the issue they are
propounding, who have been per
suaded by authorities higher up to
work for some unanswerable rea
son, and who have been made in
terested in the issue only because
it is an issue.
This was certainly the case
I yesterday!
'Der Lager von Fall' Comes
To Varsity Theater
Saturday.
The German department is spon
soring a showing of "Der Lager
von Fall" or "The Hunter of Fall"
at the Varsity theater on Satur
day morning, March 5. The film
will be shown at 9 and 10:30.
The department is bringing the
film to Lincoln so that students
of the language, as well as any
one interested in German may
have a chance to see the cultural
and artistic background of present
day Germany, One may also study
what the German people use for
their amusement,
Semi-American Plot.
The film is adopted from a novel
by Ludwig Gangofer, noted Ger
man author. Gangofer has made
a study of the peasant life in the
Bavarian hills and it is here that
most of his plots arc laid. Be
cause of this direct touch, and the
fact that his stories are light and
interesting, he has become one of
the most beloved authors to the
mass of the German people. In this
story he is very graphic, and de
scriptive, and handles delicate sit
uations well.
This film may be compared ,o
the American action type of pic
ture, with much gun-play com
bined with very tender love scenes.
