Again, On Basketball
.. The editorial in Thursday's Daily Nebraskan seems to
have attracted a great deal of attention.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the
gentlemen of the press who saw fit to reprint parts, or all,
of our request to the athletic department.
However, in their eagerness to make the news more
interesting, several of the most esteemed and scholarly
gentlemen seemed to have missed the point of our sugges
tions. Those of you who read the condensation of the article
in the Omaha World-Herald will probably understand the
purpose of this second word on the same subject.
Evidently the World-Herald still has "O Street Gang"
pains. In their haste to belittle the city 01 Lincoln ana its
populace, the World-Herald put a new slant on things,
ignoring the fact that the editorial assumed the possibility
that students and Lincoln citizens were equally at tauit
We thank the Herald for the much appreciated publicity.
We suggest that the World-Herald has a heart-to-heart talk
with their United Press sources which choose to lit tne
news to their own tastes.
, Getting closer to home, the Lincoln Star sports page
publicized the editorial in its usual unbiased manner. More
to the point, the Star's energetic young sports editor made
some helpful suggestions such as placing iront row specta
tors in strait-jackets. We thank the most esteemed young
editor and then hasten to point out that he usually sits in
the front row.
Finally, we would like to sincerely thank the Lincoln
State Journal and Mr. Walt Dobbins. Mr. Dobbins saw fit
to print our entire article in one of his recent columns, with
out editorial comment. The lack of bias, or attempt at
humor on Mr. Dobbins' part was greatly appreciated in this
office. The Lincoln Journal chose to take the article in the
manner which was intended.
In order to give the journalistic giants of Nebraska
more fuel for their tired typewriters, we would like to re
state our original request. We ask that A. J. Lewandonski,
or any other responsible university administrator, take im
mediate action to forestall a repeat performance of Tues
day night's basketball game. We remind Mr. Lewandowski,
and the gentlemen of the press, that the university team
plays in a university coliseum and that theoretically, they
are playing for the benefit of university students.

Slullin Violin (hthlM fiwqAam
BY SAM WARREN.
As the coliseum clock told ten
minutes before ten Friday night,
Fritz Kreisler had concluded a
program of violin artistry, altho
the music was in the main not
familiar to Lincoln audiences. In
the next 20 minutes, however, he
played four of his own composi
tions, "Stars in My Eyes," "The
Old Refrain," "Schoen Rosmarin,"
and "Caprice Viennois."
This is what the Kreisler fans
had come for, and their applause
proved their appreciation. Like
his most recent composition, "Vi
ennese Rhapsodic Fantasietta,"
which he played as part of the
regular program, these encores
were filled with nostalgia.
Ageless Skill.
But the capacity audience got
more than nostalgia. It got a pic
ture ":t a remarkable man and
musician. Kreisler s technique
seemed indifferent to age and the
only tract evident of his years (he
will be 73 next month) was a
nervous restlessness during the
long piano pasages as he waited
anxiously to bow the strings
aam.
There was not only rmnch and
vigor in his playing of the Bach
and Saint-Saens concertos, but at
times, particularly in the allegro
movements, almost a fierceness as
well. The dexterity of his linger
work and the relaxed but firm
control of his boving movement
nroduced a prodyrious perform
ance of these two works which
have not been heard in Lincoln
for some years. Unfortunately,
he seemed unwilling to tune the
instrument on stage, preferring
rather to rely on his fingering
skill to adjust pitch. In the har
monic passages, however, it lead
to too many annoyingly sharp
notes. But his interpretive mas
tery more than balanced this ten
dency.
Kreisler's arrangement of the
scherzo and finale from his own
"Strine Quartet in A Minor" pro
vided the remainder of the recital
and were well received as was
De Falla's Spanish dance, "La
Jota" altho it was perhaps tne
least efective offering of the eve
ning.

Undergraduate's
Wives to Form
New Social Club
An organization has been pro
posed for the wives of married
under-craduate students of the
university comparable to the
"Dames Club." which is the social
group ,-composed of the wives of
grad-students in tne university.
The purpose of the club will be
to provide wives who are new on
the campus, and would like to
make more acquaintances, with an
opportunity to meet other people
who have the same interests. In
consideration of the number of
married students on the campus,
it has been suggested that each
college work separately to avoid
excessively large groups.
All ag students' wives who are
interested in such an organization
are requested to leave their names
with Miss Wheeler in the Dean's
office. If many wives register,
they may be divided into small
groups according to their hobbies
or interests.
