This restatement of a long
standing university regulation
was brought about by the dismis
sal of a student this week who
had been arrested by the Lincoln
police on a charge of dunken
driving. The Chancellor remarked

police department of the city of
Lincoln has arrested and fined
several students for driving reck

Chancellor's letter to the student
body, some sources believe that
recent serious automobile acci

sharp rise in such cases, the uni

concerto were well projected, al
though the limits of romanticism
were never reached, and complete
accuracy never attained on the
part of the soloist.
It was in the slow movement
that Sanroma's playing was most
memorable. Here the piano line is
like an extended song. Oriental in
coloring, which is played above
muted strings. Sustained and
lovely, the adagio ended only after
an exacting cadenza which dis
