"In Europe there are no orchestras that can compare with the Boston and the Philadelphia," he said enthusiasti cally. "And it is amazing that almost every large town has its own symphony orchestra. It's wonderful!" Mr. Rubinstein, whose concert Monday night set for Lincoln a zenith on artistic standards, be lieves that the public turns to great music m war-times for an emotional outlet and for inspira tion. "They go as fervently to concerts as they would go to church!" he remarked. "I once gave a series of 26 recitals with in seven weeks in Mexico City The theater was jammed every time with almost the same audi ence and do you know what was going on then? A horrible revolt with someone's being killed every day!"

Soccer Weather Proves Too Cold For Spectators It was during one of those cold, bleak, autumn afternoons after the final class of the day when a few of the fairer sex approached us and pleaded with us to go down to a field "just a little ways away" to watch their sororities battle out a game of soccer. Being soft-hearted . and com pletely befuddled as to what they meant by the term "Soccer," we tagged along with the hope that it might be an event of "You Sock'er and then 111 Sock'er." Anyhow, we dug up our sheepskins and proceeded down Coliseum-way, freezing as we went. Fern Squad. Arrived at the field just in time to see the gals come dashing out of the field house as the band was playing the last strains of "Gotta Be This or That." The high spirited players were clad in their bright new uniforms that con sisted of some of the prettiest dungaree pants (guess they call 'em jeans) rolled up to the knees with a bright plaid shirt to top it off. Personally can't see how anyone could play anything in that (See SOCCER, pare 3.) Public Relations Staff Appoints Bruce H. Nicoll Bruce H.

On Aug. 30, 1945, Mr. Bart ley was on Guam as a staff offi cer in the 20th Bomber Command with its headquarters on Guam, and one month later he was teaching political science classes at the university.

The planning committee of which Mr. Bartley, then Captaain Bartley, was a member, charted the route the plane would take without having an inkling of the terrific bomb it would drop. Lead Navigator. Mr. Bartley was lead naviga tor on the first B-,29 raid on To kyo on Nov. 24, 1944. Recalling that day as one of the most inter esting he'd ever spent, he de scribed the high winds, up to 165 miles an hour, which met them in Japan. After passing over Fuji yama, they flew right over their target and because of heavy fighter interference could not turn to hit it. The bombs were dropped on the wharf area of Tokyo.

Only the white of her eyes and collar relieve the solid darkness. Versatile is Barbara Ellis Ross who shows paintings including flowers, portraits, landscapes and street scenes. One of the best is "The Bridesmaid," looking strong minded and perhaps a bit en vious. In striking contrast to "The Bridesmaid" is pleasant ' looking "Kitty" with shining eyes and a cheerful mouth.
