2 SUMMER RAG. Friday, July 17, 1942 On Frivolous Side Week Has Much in Entertainment By Mary Kierstead. What fools these mortals be o we decided to see what was going on in the entertainment world, and lads and lassies, what do you think ? Big things go on in Lincoln now and then. For instance we sent our little girl scout to the telephone the other day to see what dope she could round up about a Mr. Jay McShann. Our little girl scout re ported the following. Jay McShann who has Just finished a one year stand at the Savoy in New York; Jay McShann whose band Bells the most Dccca records in the world today; Jay McShann who has a twentieth century rythmn and who starts a week s stand at King s, tomorrow night. Well, we wondered. Certainly our frans of the Uni would not be mortal enough to let such a band go by and we, ourselves, decided to check up. They'll Be There. Hank Greene, smooth boy from the bomber plant at Wahoo and a Phi Delt, is sporting, as usual Helen Kiesselbach, one of the best deals at the Gamma Phi house. A school-teacher fran of ours, Lumir Gerner, obligingly remarked that he will escort Ruth Davis, summer school gal. Dave Walcott, efficient man on the Cornhusker staff, will go with Sidney Ann Gardner, Theta. Accompanying Dave and Sid Ann are Buzz Diers, Scottsbluff, with Martha Ann Reed, Alpha Chi. Are we boring you no? Oh we take hints well enough. Did you hear about Gertie the Dinosaur yet? Gertie, it seems, is to make one of her most recent appearances at the cartoon show at the Union Sunday at 8 p. m. The show, titled "Cartoons from A to Z, from 1900 to 1940" will also bill Mutt and Jeff, Steam boat Willie, and some of the Dis ney art of the last year or two. What Doe He Like?. Bob Bramson seems to like red heads or did you all ready know that he liked blondes anyway that red head of red heads is at the Lincoln in "Wings For the Eagle." Oh you had heard about Sheridan, huh. Sorry Dennis Mor gan sure has cute dimples. Soldiers are here to stay it seems whether Bill Florey objects or not.

Understand they are to play around a bit games, you know and spend the rest of the evening dancing. Lest we forget some more big stuff let us throw a few kind words the way of Sonny Dunhm, at the Pike tonight. Sonny, it seems, was for some time top trumpet man with Glen Gray, started his own band and is a good boy out Hollywood way. Our girl scout got us that, too. Among Those There. Wauneta Fisher.

George Ann Dream (Continued from Page 1.) the right kind of a Droeram for a Bummer evening. Perhaps it's a matter oi taste, but in the opinion of many a better selection of pieces couin nardlv have been maae. Even Better! The orchestra, vigorously conducted, played better than many had anticipated, altho more than- once the sounds com ing from the horns were not the same sounds that the composer had intended or that Mr. Wish now was perhaps exoectina. It was a matter of amazement too, the number of rather young ana ratner oia students attending me university wis summer who play instruments. But this in wartime (altho many don't know it untu tney start thinking about now to avoia me draft). The viola solo from the Cau lan sketch, "In the Village," deserves special notice.

Seventh's First. A more notable musical event this Sunday will be the pre miere American performance of Shostakovich's latest symphony, his seventh, on NBC between 3:15 and 5 p. m. For this sym phony and its composer Tim magazine went all out this week in a two page splurge. The svmphonv Dicturea Rnsain at war and composer Shostako vich has seen it first hand. Altho to look at his Picture he annpara somewhat anemic, Shostakovich is no prissy and was in Leningrad during its siege, digging ditches and acting as fire warden.

The other way around, maybe. Our fran Al O'Connor, Phi Gam is going with Aline Housman, Theta. Isn't it funny how many people actually have dates ? ? ? ? Would like to remind fans of Patricia Lahr's series of book re views, that the last one is Thurs day at 5 p. m. in, the Book Nook. The reviewed is to be "Dragon Seed, Pearl Buck's top-seller fic tion work. Music Refreshing. We could suggest that the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia music hours is a delightful way to spend a hot Monday hour especially when Cleve Genzlinger is to be the gent in charge which event will occur this Monday at 4 p. .m Did you know that the James brothers are back again at the Nebraska. Also Tin Pan Alley with blonde lovelies, Alice Faye and Betty Grable. Just made a terrible mistake we know, darlin', the whole thing la a mistake, we mean but re-a-l-ly "Lady in a Jam" that's us well maybe it could be disputed wheth er we are a lady or not. But Irene Dunne seems to be really in a jam with Ralph Bellamy and Pat Knowles playing in the same show with her. It opened at the Stuart yesterday. Just in case you get confused when we speak of "we" we don't mean me and someone else. It's still just me. Enthusiasm is a great thing. So is patriotism Happy landings, sonny. it. (Recently on CBS a Russian army officer told of symphony concerts being performed for soldiers at the front.) After All.... Altho one might think Shostak ovich somewhat of an artistic idiot for taking time out to compose an hour and 20 minute symphony with the Germans knocking over and blowing to bits the city around him, he is in reality a real human and finds more joy in a second glass of beer and in seeing his favorite soccer team win than in finishing a new symphony. Americans would do well to hear this symphony of a coun try who has saved us the trouble of disposing of a couple of mil lion Nazis and who has saved the Americans giving up a lot more a lot quicker than they have, including a few hundred thousand American soldiers, some of which, no doubt, would have been from Nebraska. Reporters . (Continued from Page 1.) and either ignore them or bust them," says George Morrow. Do you know, this isn't such a hot question either. People have been telling us that all day, but we're kind of thick-headed at times. Guess we should see what the editor has to say. "Oh that ques tion has all ready been used i7nrr Congress Works on Bill Creating Woman Service . . .

Nebraska women desiring information on this should ' .on tact the dean of women' oif'ce. A bill creating such a group as this, to b similar to the women's army auxiliary corps, is now pending in congress. College Takes Only Lowest 25 of Boys ... In High School TABOR, Iowa. (ACP). A unique college, which will accept only those boys who finish high school in the lowest 25 per cent of their class, has been established in this southwest Iowa town of fewer than 1,000 residents. This amazing entrance require ment, setting the educational world topsy-turvey, was created by Dr. Robert Enlow O'Brian, preacher, educator, politician and business man, the new president of Tabor college. Former president of Morning side college at Sioux City, and former Iowa secretary of state, Dr. O'Brian has always wanted to run a college for the "lower one fourth" who seldohi get invita tions to college campuses these days. Last winter he got his chance. The president of Tabor re signed, and the college faced its second closing in its 80-year his tory. Some of the trustees asked Dr.. O'Brian to take over. He agreed, on the understanding that he could introduce his scholarship ideas. Last September the school opened with a dozen students; Dr. O'Brian hopes to add 26 each sem ester, until the maximum of 200, set by the new by-laws, is reached. The course is what Dr. O'Brian de scribes as the "old liberal arts course, brought up to date." All students must master typing and shorthand, as well as German and Spanish. English composition is taught aa a "remedial" course, stressing correct spelling and use of clear, coherent, proper sentences. Mathe matics is of the statistical and ac counting varieties. The rest of the course follows traditional lib eral arts lines. Graduates should be able to en ter business or industry, Dr. about two months ago," she ays. Well, well. So we dont have to write an inquiring re porter column this week. Pretty keen, no? Maybe some other time. A general letter signed by Alice C. Lloyd, member advisory educational council, U. S. N. R. and dean of women at the Univer sity of Michigan stated: It is desired that the group of young women who shall be chosen for training as officers be a selected group who during their college years excelled in scholastic achievement and showed qualities of leadership and ability to cooperated in group life." O'Brian feels. He hopes to see them get jobs as private secretar ies, shipping clerks and similar positions, and "with the prestige of an A. B. degree and the train ing of a solid, practical course be hind them," he believes they can work up to higher executive posts or to ownership of their own busi nesses in a few years.
