Clear It Up . . .
Lincoln's 'hrisi i.m Youth Council has
charged the university with discrimination
against nisei American -horn Japanese) and
Negro sludents with regard to housing and
employment po icics.
Such a condition, if its exists, is deplor
able, especially, in a university supported by
state and federal funds, where religious, ra
cial and social differences should be subordi
nate 1o obtaining an education.
Perhaps the issues at stake have not come
to the attention of university officials. Surely,
a complete presentation of grievances before
1he administration would clear i(p the sima
1ion.. This editor has no desire to become in
volved in needless bickering; however, if in
justice is being done, it is the intention of The
Nebraskan to advocate consideration and rem
edy of the problems in question.

ond time at the St. Paul church.
Melton clearly remembered his
first performance at the church
three years ago. At that time
lights in the church burned out,
and for a half hour before the con
cert, the audience sang old favor
ites. During the chorus of "Home,
Home on the Range," the superior
voice of the guest artist was heard
and has since been synonymously
remembered with that song by
Lincoln audiences.
On his lapel, Melton displayed a
miniature 1906 racing car which
was, at one time, Diamond Jim
Brady's stick pin. Or.e of his hob
bies is the collection of old auto
mobiles and he now boasts the to
tal of 75 old models.
Prefers Concert.
When asked which he preferred,!
the radio, concert, or opera, Mr.
Melton replied, "The concert, ex-j
cept that traveling is so tiring.")
Plana are now being formulated
for the production of two movies
by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The
movies will be "The Student
Prince," and "Showboat." "The
public is not yet educated for op
eratic movies, is the opinion of
the tenor.
The 6 foot 3 inch, 196 pound
tenor is athletically built. His fa
vorite sport is football, which he
enjoys both as a spectator and as
a participant. His talents include
the culinary art; he frequently
prepares midnight suppers for his
personal friends.
Lacks Southern Accent.
Born and educated in Georgia,
he surprisingly enough does not
have a southern accent. "Singing
takes away a southern drawl, "i
Melton explained, "your diction
becomes better and radio expeii-l
ence improves your speaking
voice." I
While in college he learned to!
play the saxophone and earned:
pocket money by playing in a col-1
lege band for public dances. He
had intended to become s lawyer
but was discovered in a school'
chorus and was persuaded to!
change his vocation.
At the Lincoln concert la.st eve-'
ning, James Melton presented'
songs for all tastes, from grand1
and light opera down to Scotch'
and Irish songs of the ballad type'
and a Negro spiritual.
