To A Misinformed
Critic
For one who poos into such detail about
the existence of two sides of every question,
"A Student " writing in the student pulse
columns today is probably one of the most,
narrow-minded individuals who 1read ibe
campus. Instead of looking into the question
about whieh he is writing, "A Student" pro
ceeds to go on at ercat, length about the almost
certain dire financial results whieh would oc
cur should the Taihedral Choir be annexed to
the university. We might suggest that if "A
Student" wishes to be the brond-minded in
dividual lie labels himself that he do a bit of
research on a subject before he begins ex
postulating so boisterously. Tn the first para
graph of his pulse. "A Student" brands sup
porters of the Cathedral Choir affiliation as
misinformed. In that case, "A Student"
should certainly be a choir supporter for he
fits perfectly into the misinformed category.
The student pulse writer attempts to
point out the rather ridiculous idea that
the choir will expect the university to fi
nance the building of its Great Cathedral,
while the math building1, the library, the
girls gym, and the military science building
enter a further state of dilapidation. Had
the writer taken note of previous material
which appeared in the editorial columns he
- would have known that choir officials have
given university authorities adequate proof
that the choir will not require any financial
backing from the university other than the
supplying of a suitable practice room. The
choir understands that they are to assume
the entire running expenses of the choir, in
cluding the cost of music, musical instru
ments, choir robes, choir tours, and any fees
or salaries to individual members or con
ductors. The university is thus relieved of
any financial obligation toward the choir.
The pulse writer's frichtened attitude
toward the fact the university's financing of
a campus cathedral instead of the needed
classroom facilities is a bit facetious when one
considers the fact that a house of worship may
not be built by a state university from tax
funds. The contributions for such an edifice
must come from another source.
If the pulse writer had been broad-minded
enough to look into the facts surrounding the
case he would have been forced to realize lhat
the choir has alreadv been in communication
with noted philanthropists who have agreed to
finance the building of the calhedral when ihe
choir proves it has a sound idea. The idea
which the choir must prove is sound, is that of
placing a religious center on the campus of a
state university lhat is acceptable In both the
state and students. N'ol only docs the idea ap
pear sound to the majority of the students on
the campus, but it comes in answer to a need
for a religious center of some type on the Ne
braska campus.
Those of us who are interested enouch
to look into the matter have received as
surance that the Cathedral is not a far dis
tant possibility as far as financing the
project is concerned. The choir long ago dis
covered that money to build the cathedral
would not be the important and uncertain
issue when the time came to make the reali
zation of the dream of a cathedral come
true. The important question was rather
whether the idea of establishing a non-sectarian
religious center on the campus ap
peared sound. What objections anyone
might have to such a worthwhile project
would appear insignificant when placed be
side the assets of the plan.
The other petly points which ihe pulse
writer brandishes with such fervor, seem to be
answered by their own ridiculousness. ".Many
choirs in Lincoln are made up almost entirely
of university students. If we annex one. why
not annex ihcm all and encourage a greater
proportion of ihe students to higher ideals."
Ihe pulse writer points out. A glance at the
Cathedral Choir with its non-seelarian organi
zation and superb performances should ade
quately quell any further absurd suggestions
on the part of the pulse writer.

Pulse
An Informed
Critic?
To the Editor:
Theer are two sides to every
question. A right and a wrong
side. The Cathedral Choir proposal
also has two sides. The misin
formed, in this case, and the Ca
thedral Choir members themselves
are for the annexation of the choir
to the University of Nebraska.
They point out that the choir
does not intend to interfere with
the choral groups already provided
for by the university. They say
that it is not asking that scholas
tic credit be given its members.
The main purpose of the choir, so
we are led to believe, is to build a
great cathedral. I agree that this
is a fine goal and a worthy idral,
but where is the money for the
proposed cathedral to come from?
Certainly the choir wouldn't think
of asking the university to donate
the money. The school needs a new
Math building, a new library, a
new girls gym, a new military sci
ence building far more than it
needs a cathedral choir to put in a
proposed cathedral. There are a
great number of churches in the
city that would be very happy to
have the students come and even
sing in their choirs.
The idea is set forth that the
choir would add prestige to the
university when it went east on
tours. In the East the choir is
known as the Lincoln Cathedral
Choir and its reputation is such. If
you can spell University of Ne
braska out of Lincoln, you're a
genius. Since vou can't, then where
is the university going to get any
publicity from the proposed an-
it appears to be doing?
The least that can be done is to
wait until the university's own
choir gives its concert and then
judge whether the school needs an
other choir or not to add prestige
to the school. If the university
going to support any choir, ;t cer
tainely Bhould aid the one it sets
up and provides for in its regular
program and not aid an outside
group.
Many choirs in Lincoln are made
up almost entirely of university
students. If we annex one, why not
annex them all and encourage a
greater proportion of the students
to higher ideals, rather than pick
out any single group?
Thus, we see that what the uni
versity would gain, from the an
nexation of the choir, is doubtful,
but there is no doubt as to the ex
tent which the Cathedral Choir
would profit by the annexation to
the university.

and advance publicity was also
interesting. Two days ago, a cir
cular appeared in Lincoln accus
ing Frank of being a mild
"pink." To top everything off,
then, pamphlets definitely unbe
coming to Mr. Frank's character
were distributed at the doors of
the coliseum. The pamphlets ac
cused the former Wisconsin edu
cator of being a "pall to such
individuals as Harry Elmer
Barnes, denouncer of the Bible
and organizer of the Wisconsin
branch of the American Civil
Liberties Union (communist),
and Prof. Alex Meiklejohn, a
dean whose students, with his
approval, paraded behind a red
flag on May 1, 1931, and tang
the communist "Internationale."
The pamphlet also accused
Frank of making speeches "favor
ing the NRA until it was blasted
out of existence by the supreme
court decision." "Whole books
could be written about the radical
ism, atheism, and communism pre
vailing; among the students and
faculty at Wisconsin university
during his reign as president," the
pamphlet stated. Distributors of
the printed forms were believed to
be students hired unknowingly for
the occasion. The practice was
quickly curtailed.
