And its suc cessor? . . . "club tempo." That is the surprising and strongly substantiated belief of Johnny Cox, swing band leader whose music attracted more than 600 swing lovers at the Student Union dance Saturday evening. Basis for the prediction rests on allepfcd orders from booking agencies to bands throughout this country, "to start casing out 1 swing." Assertedly. M. C. A., Con- I anli.laiB,! onH United Rndln Arts were among the large firms giv ing such orders. Explaining the meaning of club tempo, Director Cox said: "Club tempo music is sweet music stepped up, sort of jiggy like this . . ." illustrated by saying "zit zittidy, zit-zittidy, zit-zittidy." It is the same club tempo that was a favorite of several years ago. According to Leader Cox, the orders call for marked decline in the percentage of swing played within six months. However, ac knowledging the control of Benny Goodman In that field of music, he opined that the life of swing may be as much as one more year. Most of the Cox players arc Uni versity of Nebraska men. Of them, Herb Cecil, Vern Rawalt, and Arle Goodcnkauf are now in attend ance. Johnny attended the U. of N. for two and one-half years, as an engineer., He then worked in the State Capitol as a draftsman for two years. Having played since he was a lad of 13, Cox has found in music way o working through high 4 school and college, as well as a Daily Official Student LINCOLN.

Senator Norris, who was interviewed in lloldretfo hy a Daily Nehraskan reporter, said that ho did feel that Europe is undoubtedly on the verge of very grave war difficulties, hut lhat wc Americans are too anti-war to jump into foreign troubles. When asked about I ho "war average," which seems to draw (ho world into conflict about every 'JO years, Mr. Nor l is said lhat. ho felt that in this day of education, with motion pictures, photos and hooks to help us remember former wars, we arc not so likely to regard war as "glorious," as did for mer generations who had no such means of remembering the horrors of war. "In my opinion, there is a greater need for a fight for democracy now than there was before the World War, for we. have Iho situation of dictators to combat." said the senator in his closing statement. Cheer Up, '42; Only 360 Down Slips Await You Perhaps it's just a little early in the semester to start bothering you frosh, but it might interest you to know that some 3fi0 of you will be in scholastic hot water be fore the end of the current se mester. According to the office of the dean of student affairs, 20 pcr- cent of each year's neophyte crop have serious difticulties with their studies. And, while all of those in volved in such troubles do not flunk out of the University, a sub stantial number will succumb to tjcrvous breakdowns, undue strain, or another ailment which will make their being at home next se mester seem just a little more plausible.

Physical Exams Worry Officers War department medical exam iners are cracking down to n greater degree every year on ad vanced R. O. T. C. students pos sessing the slightest physical dis abilities, according to Col. W. H. Oury, Nebraska K. O. T. C. com mander. At camp this summer, many outwardly perfect specimens of manhood were disqualified from training further hy such physical defects as high blood pressure, im perfect eyesight without glasses, excess or deficient weight. Since different examiners ottcn vary somewhat in pronouncing a man physically fit for a commis sion, students entering advanced military science take a certain chance that the R. O. T. C. camp examiner may disqualify them physically. However, the number thus disqualified is not large in comparison with the total number of student officers. Colonel Oury hopes that some of the men dis qualified this summer may be re instated upon correcting such de fects as being over or under weight. PROF WIMBERLY.

Regarding her collaborator, she writes: "Clifford H. Pope was connected with a field expedition of the Museum of Na tural History in Central China. During that time he collected much literary material Mr. Pope made the literal translation of the poems. I have tried to retain the original atmosphere and intention." Such presumably unrelated sub jects as divorce and anagrams are also treated in the Schooner's ar ticles. Arnold H.
