Ill c HOGiXSD CE.Ea3elIB' Needs Reporting on student selections I Mr. Mr. Devoe is as follows: and recommendation for a suc cessor to Chancellor C. S. Boucher, at a Student Council meeting last night, Mary Ann Mattoon pre sented a letter which will be sent to the Board of Regents. The letter was unanimously ap proved by the Council and will be given to Robert Devoe, president of the Regents. Miss Mattoon em phasized that Mr. Devoe is will ing to accept any suggestions for the type of chancellor students would like or the names of a par ticular choice. Text Text of the letter to be given Prof. Militzer Predicts Life Span Increase "By 1975, we may be saying 1-1 1 e begins at 60 " declared Prof W. E. Militzer, university chemist at his lecture last night Speaking in the fifth of a series of lectures on world affairs spon sored by the extension division, froi. Militzer stated that the aver age man's life SDan mav reach 125 years within a century, twice as long as present life expectancy of OJ. Recent Experiments. His topic was "Human Life and Isotopes," said "Chemists and physiologists base this opinion for longer life on recent experiments with isotopes such as heavy hy drogen, heavy ntrogen and the radioactive elements produced during the period of atomic re search which led to the atomic bomb. "The new isotopes permit the tracing of life processes which heretofore eluded the biologist's efforts. For instance, there is radio active phosphorous which when led to animals finds its way into the bones and teeth. Since it is different from ordinary phosphorus, the scientists can watch its progress through the body. Body Changes. "From many similar studies the scientist now knows that the en tire human body is in a con tinuous state of change. Chemical ly speaking, we get a new liver about every three weeks and a new set of bones every two or three months. "The goal of science, already partially realized, is to control this change in such a way that the corrosive effects of old age and disease will be defeated. It is even likely that some lucky chemist will discoverd a means of prolonging life indefinitely. "Were1 this- discovery made in 1946, our economic, financial and political structures would receive a jolt more severe than that brought about by the atomic bomb. Quite probably the dis covery will not be made for a century; but in meantime the United States should prepare it self for an ever-increasing num ber of old people who will be healthy, vigorous and unwilling to retire."

"Dear Mr. Devoe: "With the announcement of the resignation of Chancellor C. S. Boucher, student Interest in the choice of a successor has become widespread.

Prom Bandleader Sonny Dunham Called 'Most BY JACK CRESSMAN.

Soto Stardom. . . .4111 - Dunham's success, as a bkhd leader 'goes back to his solo itari dora with Tremaine : and Gray; When the youngster was still in his twenties, he amazed physicians as well as musicians with his ability to play trombone and trumpet alternately. The feat is most noteworthy because each in strument requires a special set of lip muscles whose shape goes by the fancy name ot "embouchre." The embouchre for the trumpet is small; for the trombone, large.

With unanimous acceptance of four constitutional amendments as recommended by the Student Council, the Veterans' Organiza tion of the University of Nebraska Wednesday night became a fully recognized organization on the campus. Tuesday afternoon the Veter ans' executive council met with the judiciary council of the Student Council to try to solve some of the difficulties and mis understandings between the two groups. In that meeting almost all the major issues involved were found to "have grown out of mis leading publicity and rash, misin terpreted statements." The Stu dent Council had not rejected the vets' application for recognition. It had merely made a series of recommenaauuns lur coiusuiuuuii' al changes, most of them com mendable, then deferred action on acceptance until the - veterans could consider the proposals. Smoke Clears. After the smoke of charges and countercharges cleared away in Tuesday s conference, the vets found themselves with only three of the Council's original propos als left to fulfill in order to be granted approval the minor See VETERANS, Fare 2. Newcomer an "embouchre within an em bouchre." In January, 1939, less than ten years after he first played the trumpet, Metronome voted uun ham first among hot trumpeters. The following month he scored in the charmed circle of Downbeat's first five trumpeters. He then re turned to score high in another Metronome poll for trombone specialists. Pushed Father Time. The youthful Dunham, impa tient with predictions that he was a cinch to click in time, got be hind Father Time and gave him a push. Instead of blowing his brains out with one night stands and split weeks in theatres that have no dressing rooms and al most as few customers, Dunham threw the dice in one big gamble. He took an engagement at New York's Capitol Theatre. Of itself such a move was an advantage, not a hazard. But when the com petitive theatres, the Roxy and Paramount, were presenting such established names in musio j ad Harry James and Jimmy Dorsey i that's too fast, like putting him in the same ring with Joe Louis when he was still a year away. Dunham came into the Canitol as one newspaper columnist put it, ' on the swing and a prayer. But the combination was good enough to justify Dunham's con fidence. The show was held over for two weeks against the stiffest competition Broadway has seen in many years! o ices selected were Ruth O'Han- , as secretary and Billie Steel man, as treasurer. Voters. Voters were members of the concessions board of the phys ical education department, sports board, board of representatives from organized houses on the campus, the executive council, club and intramural group heads.
