The seldom-performed requiem, which will be heard in Lincoln for the first time in a number of years, is also scheduled for similar me morial performances in New York City and in Denver, and was presented at Texas University earlier this year.

Choral Union to Sing Requiem In War Memorial Ceremony Verdi's "Requiem" will be per-, formed today by the 500-voice Choral Union, soloists and uni versity orchestra in memory of students and faculty members who gave their lives in the second world war. Conducted by Dr. Ar thur Westbrook, the "Requiem" will begin at 3 p. m. in the coliseum. One of the relatively few musi cal settings of the Requiem Mass, the Verdi score will feature as soloists Arrell Mace, soprano; Mary Berner, contralto; Dayton Smith, tenor; and Dale Ganz, bar itone. The choral parts will be sung by the four mixed choruses from both campuses that com bine twice a year to perform ora torical works each spring and Christmas. ' Critics Evaluation. Written by the great 19th cen tury composer of such standard repertory operas as "Aida," "Traviata," and "Rigoletto," the Verdi "Requiem" has brought this critical evaluation: "While one may not unfairly call it 'theatri cal,' it is at once sincere and con vincing." Miss Mace completed her un dergraduate work in music at . Simpson College, Iowa and taught music in public schools there for two years. She will finish her graduate work here with the end of summer school this year. A graduate and former faculty member of Belhaven College in Mississippi, Miss Berner did grad uate work at Louisiana University and came' to the university in 1945.

Re ceiving his masters from St. Olaf College in Minnesota, he was so loist and assistant director of the college's famed choir on nation wide tours. Mr. Smith directs the Lincoln Men's Chorus and is so loist at First Church of Christ Scientist in Lincoln. He is a pop ular soloist in cantata and ora torio performances thruout the state and sang in this season's presentation of the "Messiah." Four times a "Messiah" soloist at the university, Dale Ganz grad uated in 1940 and is now doing some voice instruction on a teach ing fellowship. A lead in the Feb ruary production of "Pagliacci," he served 52 months in the army, attaining the rank of captain. The "Requiem" is performed today under the sponsorship of the university convocations com mittee, and is similar in nature to memorial musical programs given at many universities to honor war dead. Annual Fine Arts Convention Held By High Schools Nebraska's annual all-state fine arts festival which included judg ments of students abilities in mu sic, dramatic art, speech and art was held here Friday and Satur day. University faculty members who judged the events awarded rat ings ranging from superior to be low average. Outstanding students were given 24 scholarships to the university, and those awarded superiors received medals made possible by a gift to the univer sity from Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Magee of Lincoln. Dr. R. G. Rosenlof, director of admissions, spoke at a luncheon held Saturday noon in the Union. City Symphony Closes Season With Success BY SAM WARREN. For its final concert of the season, the Lincoln Symphony Or chestra played a program Wed nesday night that ranged from ex pounding musically on Nature, Life and Love (in Dvorak's "In Nature's Realm") to having a lot of fun making fun of serious mu sic (in Ibert' satiric "Divertisse ment"). But in addition to this, the or chestra presented two talented young soloists who were each called back before the encore curtains to receive well-deserved applause. Geraldyne Kelley, at 19 the youngest audition winner, played the lyric finale from Vieuxtemps' fourth violin con certo with a professional fervor that was a paradox to the picture of a young girl in a demure bouf fant-skirted gown of pink tulle and taffeta. One could not help but see the parallel between the perform ance here five year's ago by 14- year-old Patricia Travers, now a seasoned traveling artist, and Miss Kelley's spirited performance. Her technique, which included an easy handling of difficult double stopped harmonics, was matched by a beauty and firmness of tone. Basso Scores Success. Robert Anderson, university junior, exploited a bass range oi large proportion and rich quality. Singing an aria from Verdi's seldom-performed opera, "Don Car lo," Mr. Anderson showed a fa miliarity with the requirements of Italian operatic style. An appre ciative audience would have liked more numbers from him. The orchestra, which has not performed a. single "heavy" selec tion this season, continued in its consistent, but pleasant, vein. Sinigaglia's overture to "le Ba ruffe Chiozotte," premiered by Toscanini, was a lively opening number, and Dvorak's "In Na ture's Realm" and Berlioz' "Rom an Carnival Overture" were per formed in the best romantic tra dition. Schmaltzy Valse. Most fun for orchestra and au dience alike, tho, was Ibert's "Di vertissement," which was well handled. Strains of the Lohen grin wedding march were an swered by sneering muted trom bones in the introduction. The nocturne was intentionally lushy and sentimental, the valse was pure schmaltz, and the finale was a free-for-all P. T. Barnum stunt! Four guest artists, instead of five, have been engaged for next year in an effort to give the or chestra (which in recent years has taken a back seat to outside tal ent) an opportunity to show its best colors.

In the early 1900's when the YW on campus was an infant or ganization, breakfasts were held in St. Paul church and for YW members only. As the organiza tion grew breakfasts were held in Ellen Smith, and since 1940, have been held in the Union ballroom.
