end dispute
Turnpike manager agrees
to close hall on nights
of university parties
The case of Students vs. Reon
Pauley was closed in Mr. Pauley's
favor Friday when the Turnpike
manager pledged his support to
university social functions; assured
a group of students and faculty
members that he would show his
co-operation by closing his hall on
the nights of the five major cam
pus parties; and that he would as
sist the students in these nights in
securing popular bands.
In return student representa
tives agreed to schedule these
parties on Friday nights, wherever
possible, and to place a list of
dates in Mr. Pauley's hands far
enough in advance to make con
flicting bookings impossible.
The conference between Mr.
Pauley and the students Friday re

of our interview. But when our
talk was over we had discovered
that well, let's begin from the
beginning.
Senator Johnson is a lawyer, a
graduate of this university with a
bachelor of arts degree in 1925
and a doctor's degree in 1930. His
constituency includes Dodge and
Washington counties where he was
born and has lived all his life.
The senator is a member of the
judiciary and revenue committees.
He also serves on the special com
mittee on committees. Thirty-five
bills bear the sponsorship of Sen
ator Johnson. However, he is the
sole introducer of only 16. Many
of his bills are concerned with re
defining certain legal technicali
ties. Perhaps his most important
measure is L. B. 474, an act to tax
utilities.
While at Nebraska, Senator
Johnson was a member of Delta
Tau Delta and served as its presi
dent in 1924-25. The senator is a
firsl lieutenant in the marine

University ROTC band of 80
members will present its annual
concert this afternoon at three in
the coliseum.
This symphonic group was se
lected from the larger marching
band, which has received much
praise for its appearances this
year. Under conductor Don A.
Lentz, the band will present a
program of especial variety, fea
turing band literature of many
different types.
Opening number is the impres
sionistic and brilliant "March and
Scherzo" of Prokofeff, which is
considered one of the most diffi
cult selections in the band reper
tory. In a very different vein is
the poliphonic Bach chorale "If
Thou Be Near," which displays the
organ-like quality of the band.
American composition.
The larghetto movement of the
C minor symphony of Earnest
Williams, a contemporary Amer
ican composer, is of special int--'--est.
Unlike most band literate, a,
it is not an orchestral transcrip
tion but was written for the in
strumental brilliance and color of
the band. The work is full in reed
voicing with much dramatic con
trast. Two numbers are included us
especially representative of the
works of Sousa, by conductor
Lentz who formerly played in the
Sousa band as well as the New
York Philharmonic orchestra.
The closing selection, modern In
character, is Bennet's "Cypress
Silhouettes" which contains sev
eral "swing" passages.
