Last Harmony
Hour to play
'Bolero1 today
The last Sinfonia Harmony Hour
of the year featuring "Bolero" by
Ravel, and Sibelius' Fiftli Sym
phony will be held today at 4 p. m.
in the faculty lounge in the Union.
Maurice Ravel, a French com
poser, wrote the "Bolero" for Ida
Rubenstein, a dancer, and the
amazing tour de force of ita or
chestration and its orchestral dy
namics brought Ravel the most
public notice that he received dur
ing his lifetime. Only one theme
and an unvarying rhythm is used
thruout the composition.
Jan Sibelius, Finland' great
living composer, bases his work
on the music of the classical mas
ters, but has also developed an
Individual style which is exempli
fied In his Fifth Symphony. Both
of the compositions are recorded
by the Boston Symphony orches
tra under the direction of Serge
Koussevitsky.
Sinfonia, man's musical fra
ternity, has sponsored the har
mony hours, planning them around
the great symphonies in chrono
logical order. Keith Sturdevant,
a member, has been commentator,
and Frank Cunkle has organised
the programs.

"First day registration is lighter
than previous years," A. R. Cong

fees were not paid on time, ana

inclusive will be taken care of
Tuesday, Sept. 17. and Q to Z in

"Some sort of investigation" of
Theta Nu Epsilon, national cam
pus so-called drinking and political
fraternity, is being conducted by
the university administration it
appears today. University offici
als, however, refuse to comment
on the matter.
Stories appearing simultaneous
ly yesterday in Lincoln and Omaha
daily newspapers stated that a de-.
stroying force, personified by
Dean T. J. Thompson, has threat
ened to expel TNE members from
school if each member does not
donate J15 to a fund to remove
TNE and another fraternity insig
nia from the campus.
TNE signs recently appeared on
campus sidewalks and on Greek
houses. The signs on the campua
were made from a chalk-like paint
which can be removed with a
brush and water. Those on most of
the houses and those of the jack
ass head which appeared the next
night were painted on with per
manent paint, however.
Disfiguring paint.
The most serious offense at Ne
braska has been the painting of
disfiguring TNE signs on every
building, fraternity and sorority
house, and in some cases, it is
claimed, in sorority house chapter
rooms. The group also has put
itself into the spotlight recently
with the appearance of their signs,
the hanging of an illuminated pin
over the orchestra stand at a large
school dance, and by presenting a
bouquet marked TNE to the May
Queen on Ivy Day.
Just who the actual members of
TNE are, is apparently unknown
to most persons altho almost
everyone on the .mpus hears ru
mors regarding the group and has
ideas as to who a few of them
might be. According to yesterday's
stories, tho, the TNE's say they
possess no charter, so no matter
how much pressure is applied to
them, they can not turn it in.
XXX turns in charter.
Another group, the Tri Chi'a,
whose sign XXX recently ap
peared also, have turned in their
charter to university officials, ao-
