YEHUDI
BY SAM WARREN.
Adding more "firsts" to an al
ready eventful career, Yehudi
Menuhin, who appears here Octo
ber 9, was the first artist from
any allied country to appear in
Moscow, Paris and Prague.
This honor was accorded him
not only because he is one of the
living masters of the violin, but
also because his name is a favorite
among Europeans as well as
Americans.
After appearances in England a
little less than a year ago, Menu
hin flew to Prague where he was

the first American artist to give a
professional concert after the war.
A .similar concert in Paris took
place in the liberated French
capital, just as General deGaulle
had promised Menuhin one year
before, at a banquet in London.
Menuhin included on his program
there the Mendelssohn violin con

by the Nazis.
But it was Moscow' who received

Engle's poetry has become in

the three-page write-up in the

the book. "These pictures," say
the editors, "catch the reflecting

Block Voting
For Coeds
Any junior woman who is a
member of any organized house
which "votes as a block" will be
ineligible for Mortar Board, was
the decision of the Mortar Boards
at their meeting last Thursday
evening.
"Such voting is opposed to the
standards and ideals of Mortar
Boards," said Eleanor Knoll, pres
ident, "and therefore any coed so
participating would not be show
ing the standards in leadership
and service which are prerequi-
sits for Mortar Board."
Block-voting, as these senior
women have interpreted it, may
mean one of two things: (1) either
the official or unofficial guaran
tee of votes to one party or for
a certain candidate; (2) r- the
insistence by an organizaf .on that

Lugn Plots Flight Course
Of Navy 'Truculent Turtle
BY ROGER MOORE
Dr. A. L. Lugn, geology pro
fessor, held the rank of lieuten
ant commander with the Navy
Hvdromaohic division, where he
plotted the course for the flight
of 'the navy PV-2, "Truculent
Turtle," which covered 11,237
miles and established a new non
stop flight record.
While with the Navy Hydro
graphic Division, Dr. Lugn was
responsible for charting courses
and distances of aircraft over
ocean territory. In June, the
Navy Bureau of Aeronautics re
quested that he plot three courses,
one from Melbourne, Australia, to
Washington, D. C, one from
Perth, Australia, to Washington,
D. C, and one from Sydney,
Australia, to Washington, D. C.
The course used for the recent
flight of the "Truculent Turtle"
from Perth, Australia, to Colum
bus, Ohio, was the course that
failed to reach Washington. Dr.

son's boys ran up a 31-0 win over
the offensively impotent Kansas
State Wildcats.
In achieving their initial win
of the season, and at the same
time getting off to a flying start
in Big Six competition, the Husk
ers scored at least one touchdown
in every quarter.
Halfback Dick Hutton and Full
back Gerald Moore, led the scor
ing parade with a pair of touch
downs, but it was the Nebraska
speed boys, Hutton, Bill Moomey
and Jim Meyers, who carried the
brunt of the Scarlet running at
tack. Successful Passing.
When the Huskers took to the
air, and they were far more suc
cessful this week, completing six
of nine attempts, Quarterback
Sam Vacanti displayed an abun
dance of aerial skill. The day's
best play occurred when Vacanti
lofted a 55 yard pass to Dick Hut
ton, who had gotten behind the
Wildcat defenders. The fleet-footed
Auburn ace rambled on to a
score, the third of the day for
Nebraska, which came with eight
and a half minutes gone in the
third quarter.
CoRfih Masterson swept the
bench, sending every gridder who
was suited up into the fray. On
the other side of the field K-State
mentor Hobbs Adams did almost
as well, having only one player
who did not see action.
But on the playing field the
'Cats were nowhere near the

Lugn was also responsible for
plotting the courses from Bikini
Atoll to all observation points
during the Operations Crossroads
experiment.
Air Travel Information
The information on all aspects
of air travel, landing fields, fa
cilities for flight, and air traffic,
was analyzed by Dr. Lugn, while
he was in charge of Air Naviga
tion Research. Information on
enemy aviation activities was
easily obtained as well as infor
mation of American aviation ac
tivities. "Significantly enough,"
states Dr. Lugn, "we could get a
wealth of material on all types of
aerial activity for all countries ex
cepting Russia."
Although Dr. Lugn will be on
terminal leave from the navy un
til October 26, he has resumed
his former position with the Uni
versity and is conducting classes
in the Geology Department.
