Nebraska students, back on an
8 o'clock schedule yesterday, had
a gripe: "This wouldn't have hap
pened if the air corps trainees
hadn't moved in."
Strange thing about it ia that
those "air corps trainees" were af
fected too. Before the change,
students could get up at 8:15, stll
get to classes on time. Before the
change, the trainees arose at 0:00
to get to an 8:30 class.

Hailed as presenting "the most
thrilling artistry to glorify re

Russian-born Igor ' Gorin, bari

night at the Civic Music concert.
Yes. there is an advantage in
going to an interview early. Espe
cially when the person to be in
terviewed is as willing and re
sponsive as Igor Gorin.
Friendly Greeting.
Because the time for the in
terview was not clear, your re
porter appeared 45 minutes early.
Mr. Gorin was just coming out
of the Cornhusker Coffee Shop.
As he glanced about, he noticed
my approach and extended his
hand to greet me. While waiting
for the other reporters, he chatted
amiably.
He received his schooling in
Vienna where he was enrolled as
a pre-med student He took music
as a side line. But his avocation
soon became his vocation when he
won a three-year scholarship to
the Vienna Conservatory of Music.
"One can't do two things at the
same time," Gorin said. "I enjoy
being a singer much better."
After seeing him, It is not hard

Saturday night 300 cadets were initiated into the so
cial life of Nebraska university, and a far cry it was
from the steps of that troop train we descended just one
month ago. Our first thoughts that day were to get this
Lincoln life over with as soon as possible, get out of the
blizzard, get out of town.
Then we, 300 of a larger consolidation, were shipped
Into town and immediately quartered In an impressive
liflce called the Don L. Love Memorial library. The
first night there we didn't believe. No place in Nebraska
could have been so suitable, particularly for soldiers in
the army. Then one scries of surprises followed another.

to understand how his "handsome
features and charming personal
ity," combined with an unusually
rich baritone voice, have made
him the recipient of much fan
mail from feminine listeners.
Gorrn noticed the change in Lin
coln since his visit here last sum
mer. "I like Lincoln very much,"
Gorin sincerely remarked. "I en
joy the scenery that is so typical
ly Nebraskan. The plains remind
me of the vast steppes of Russia."
He also mentioned that he loved
farming.
Sings His Allegiance.
In this country for seven years,
Gorin became a citizen two years
ago. Albert Hay Malotte, who at
tended the naturalization cere
monies was so impressed at the
way in which Gorin recited the
Pledge of Allegiance, that he set
the phrases to music Gorin in
cludes the pledge at every con
cert. "Yes, Mrs. Gorin used to ac
company me on my tours, but we
felt it would be unpatriotic for her
to do so this year. People who
have no essential business should
stay at home," were Gorin's fer
vent beliefs. He has written some

One Type of Music
Gorin is of the opinion that
there is only one' type of music
and that is music. Some people
differentiate between the classical
and semi-classical. "Jazz is music,
too, in its own way. The time is
coming when there will no longer
be this division in the classifica
tion of music," he believes.
He is always surprised when
soldiers request opera to lighter
music when he has performed be
fore them. He believes, however,
that an appreciation of good music
is growing rapidly in America.
Luck in a Song.
His good luck charm is a song:
the Ukrainian folk song "Viut
Vitre" which he sings at every
concert. It was this song which
won him his scholarship in Vienna
and also his part on his first radio
program in America, the Holly
wood Hotel show.
His favorite recreation is horse
back riding; his hobby, photo
graphy. He not only takes pip
tures but collects cameras and
has many early models in his col

But Saturday night's Lincolnctte dance in the Union
ballroom has cimaxed everything. Nebraska women are

coast might have to offer. And what a turn out! Num

At the same time, Captain Robert E. Johnson, of the ROTC
engineering corps on campus, was appointed supply officer for
all military educational activities conducted at the university.
Commenting on a belief held by students that advanced
ROTC men will be activated within the next two days, Colonel
Murphy declared:
'They might be called within the next two days; they
might be called in the next two weeks, or next two months.
We won't know the exact day until the order comes through."
In connection with this, he referred students to a state-

soon. Here's hoping slmlar affairs occur in the future.
You students will be seeing a lot more of us during the
next few months than we will of you. That Is a natural

But open post comes around every now and then, and
we'll do our part then.
