Music School Gives
'Elijah' in Concert
.
Conceit presentation of Men- !
delssohn's oratorio "Elijah unor
the direction of Dr. Arthur E.
West brook will be given Sunday.
April 26, instead of May 3 as
previously announced.
One of the great composer's
last works, Elijah," is considered
among his finest creations. Men
delssohn never completed any sig
nificant operatic music and seems
to have given full expression to tis
dramatic ability in this oratorio.
The story concerns the life of
the caustic prophet of the Old
Testament One of the exciting
episodes tells how Elijah chal
lenges the priests of Baal to a
showdown on Mount CarmeL They
agree that the god who answers
their offering by kindness will be
accepted as the true Cod.
Worshipers Sing Hymns.
The Baal worshipers make the
first appeal, singing pompous
hymns to their forest gods and
mountain dieties. Tht offering is
untouched. Then in tolemn and
humble reverence Elijah makes a
simple and hushed ent.eaty to Je
hovah. The offering is consumed
in flames, and Elijah sings the
famous aria. "Is Not His World
Like a Fire?"
Featured soloists in the oratorio
are Elizabeth Farquhar, soprano;
Nina Armstrong, al'.o; Richard
Koupal tenor, and Cleve Gcr.z
linger, baritone. The chorus par
ticipating in the oratorio is a
choral union of the agricultural
college chorus, directed by Mr,
Altinas Tullis; the University
Singers II. directed by Donald
Glattly; and the University Sing-
( 'am pus politii-ians having- put asilo their big whips with
eoinpMion of party caucuses, spring election prospects point
to an interesting struggle with the attempts of Barb leaders to
overthrow the greek domination of the Student Council.
Major issue to be decided is the proposed amendment to
the Student Council constitution, backed by the newly organ
ized unaffiliated faction, the Nebraska Independent association.

Instructors
Get Promotions
Three instructing officers of the
military department have received
promotions from the war depart
ment, it was learned yesterday.
Promoted to the rank of lieu
tenant colonel was Major Walter
A. Gardner, director o the field
artillery unit. Promoted to the
rank of major, were Capt. Edward
E. MaLschullat, infantry instruc
tor, and Captain Edward T. Whit
ing, field artillery instructor.
In the spring election, the proposal
was overwhelmingly beaten.
Unlike last fall when there was
no opposition to greek candidates,
barb and Union candidates filed
for every position, and if rumors
concerning progress in the organ
ization of the barbs is true, the
races for posts promise to be close.
Dick Harnsberger. phone 2-6693,
chairman of the Student Council
elections committee, announced
yesterday that changes in the
names of candidates, their backing
or any other revisions in the pres
ent lists must be reported to him
before Monday when ballots will
be printed.
Tuesday is the deadline for the
filing of photographs of candidjtes
in the election. Pictures, applica
tion size 2"x3 V'h must be turned
in to Marjorie Bruning at the

Announcements in the Daily
which stated that one woman

Council from bizad college was re
ported erroneous by Harnsberger,
