Heifetz Concert . .
The Best Fiddle Playing
)Ever Heard in Lincoln'
By Dieter Kober.
Jascha Heifetz played last night.
What more can be said? It was
the best fiddle playing ever heard
in this city of Lincoln and there
fore it deserves a write-up which
should give full consideration to
this fact. Unfortunately the re
viewer must concede that his com
mand of the English language
does not include the type of super
latives which could put into words
last night's musical event.
Heifetz and his violin are elec
trifying; never has the highest de
gree of musicianship combined
with a flawless, techique been more
apparent. No full-sized symphony
orchestra in the country could
play the national anthem with
more inspirational enthusiasm
than did Mr. Heifetz, in introduc
ing the concert.
Then a rich store of music fol
lowed: Bach, Beethoven, Haydn
and Mendelssohn. The Vicuxtemps
Concerto, seldom heard on concert
repertoirs, seems to exist mainly
as an illustration of technical pos
sibilities of the violin. But Heifetz
does more than giving an exhibi
tion ofsuperior violin playing.
Somehow he injects some magic
spark into the music he plays, that
no matter what he plays, listen
ing to him become an unforget-

Students Against Curb
On Social Activities
BY EDITH LASLO.
Once again we girded ourselves
for the mighty conflict, and once
again we ascended the stairs into
the Corn Crib to cull the cryptic
comments on the gentry therein
ensconced. This time our acid
inquiry had to do with national
defense (what again?) and social
activities.
When approached with the in
quiry of whether he thought social
activities should be curbed to tie

able experience.
A policy of Mr. Heifetz well
worth of imitation by other art
ists, is his occasional inclusion of
American works on his programs.
"Hexapoda", five short studies in
jitteroptera, gave proof of a young
American composer, Russel Ben
nett, at work. There was some ob
vious Jazz influence, beautifully
scored.
It was well of the generous art
ist to present his large and apprec
iative audience with some encores
of the Ravel and Schubert type;
for had the concert ended with the
"Hexapoda", Gut-Bucket Gus and
Jim Jives would have been too
prevalent in contrast to all the
other fine music heard.
Once more, this was Lincoln's
great musical experience. And
thanks to the people who have
made it possible for us to hear
Heifetz.
Bizad Junior
Takes Awgwan
Business Post
Sheldon Kaufman, a junior,
yesterday was named business
manager of the Awgwan for the
remainder of the semester to re
place Melvin Tennenbaum, the
present business head, who is ex
pected to leave for the army soon.
Prof. Harold Hamil, director of
the student board of publications
declared that Tennenbaum, a re
serve officer, had not yet filed a
written resignation but has re
ceived first papers from the army
and is expected to leave shortly.
Kaufman issued a call for ad
vertising solicitors yesterday de
claring that one assistant business
manager's position will be filled
based on teh work of new solicitors
on the next issue of the Awgwan.
This is the second time that the
Awgwan has felt the effect of the
war, Jim Lipsey having resigned
as editor in December to enlist in
the army. He was replaced by
Shirley Kyhn.
in with the national defense pro
grams, Donald Young, junior,
popped up with a profane negative,
but when informed that such a
reply could not possibly be printed
he toned it down to a gentle
"why certainly not." And with
these words of wisdom he thereby
expressed the general opinion of
all interviewed.
Shirley Kyhn, junior, took a
long term view of the situation
and reflected that "since it is our
generation that is going to run
the show after the war, we might
als well learn now to be con
servative." War Strain.
Heartily disagreeing and assert
ing that "under no circumstances
should we curtail social activities,"
Norman Rawson, junicr, declared
that "the war is enough strain in
itself and we need relaxation to
relieve the mental strain."
Approaching the question from
the corsage angle, that of cutting
out corsages, Bill McKerney, sen
ior, felt that cutting out corsages
would "deprive the florist of a
means of livlihood."
"I can't see the point of any
thing they omit that will add to
national defense," plaintively

She added a P. S.: 'Tm not look
