Menuhin's
Violin Solos
Acclaimed
BY SAM WARREN.
From the sustained, liquid
tones of the Tartini sonata that
opened violinist Yehudi Menuhin's
recital to the last capricious notes
of the closing gypsy air, last eve
nings concert audience expert
enced the pleasant combination of
technical skill and discerning
musicianship.
Playing with a matter-of-fact
assurance that results from
nearly 20 years of concert sue
cesses, Menuhin was not for a
sir gle moment disappointing. An
elasticity of tone was prevelant
from his opening number, the
Tartini sonata, which sparkled
with florid passages and unac
companied violin gymnastics bal
anced by lyric moods.
Moving immediately into the
high point of his program, Menu
hir. delighted his audience with
the showy but thoroly pleasurable
Mendelssohn E Minor concerto.
Altho the overall effect suffered
somewhat from the orchestral
parts being supplied by piano
only, Mr. Menuhin made up for
it in every respect. He paced the
opening allegro with fervor while
treating the lovely andante with
marked tenderness. A vivacious
bow-hopping in the vivace com
pleted the concerto.
Even a broken string couldn't
detract from the beauty of the
concerto in the hands of a master
like Menuhin. Altho Paganini
was noted for purposely breaking
one string during a concert so
that he might sensationally finish
on three strings, Menuhin's mis
fortune could not be so inter
pretated, since the string snapped
in the middle of a four-figured
cadenza which required all four
strings!
Pronounced variety was first
introduced with the third selec
tion, the French composer Chaus

posible will be present to give
the team the royal send off that
they proved themselves worthy of

Miller Announces
New Zoology Lab
Research Project
Research to study the heredity
and other breeding characteristics
of Drosophila, small fruit flies,
has been started in the univer
sity zoology laboratory, according
to Dr. D. D. Miller.
Although the project will have
no immediate practical applica
tion, research in this field has
already proved valuable to live
stock and poultry breeders in per
petuating desirable and retarding
undesirable traits.
The phenomena currently con
cerning Dr. Miller is that most of
the 100 species of truit flies are
reluctant to interbreed ,and that
offsprings resulting from inter
breeding are occasionally sterile.

Crib Supply
Of Chocolate
Is Dwindling
Fudge sundaes at the Crib are
dead as any Dodo and chocolate
malts may soon follow them into
extinction unless the Student
union can bolster its dwindling
supply of chocolate syrup.
Union food director Rosa Knick
rehm told a Daily Nebraskan re
porter yesterday that as chocolate
syrup becomes increasingly harder
to obtain, chocolate-hungry co-eds
demand ever more of the popular
fountain drink.
Miss Knickrehm said the choc
olate syrup scarcity was in turn
due to the current sugar famine,
and chocolate malteds might some
day not too far away join cokes
on a here today none tomorrow
basis.
Cornhuskers are by no means
alone in their grief, however. The
Iowa state Memorial union re
ports just enough malt to last
thirty more days, thereafter choc
orate malts will be substituted by
malts of other flavors.
Asked if there were hope of an
early relief of the desperate choc
olate situation. Miss Knickrehm
gently but with grim finality
shook her head.
"No," she said.
