The Last Word . .
Rumor has it that all members of the history department fa
culty are back teaching history, having had their little fling at
making some of their own, even if it was a back-firing manner.
The Schuschnigg incident has lost its timeliness, consequently this
will be THE famous last word and the affair will be forgotten here
after. While few persons objected to the stand of the department,
many did register an objection to the manner in which they ap
proached the subject of their objecting. After all gentlemen, the
important part of the entire convocation was the fact that the stu
dents and members of the audience were afforded an opportunity to
fire questions at a man whose pre-war political affiliations still re
main questionable to many.
From this office, this campus and even this country, Central
Europe is a long way off and the above mentioned question period
partially bridged that gap. Those of us who can't see the logic
in attempting to answer the questions of the world today by citing
examples of the ancient Romans, attended that convocation. How
ever, the group which had registered the original objection to the
speaker was quite conspicous by its silence and by its apparent ab
sence. This silence brought many back-of-the-hand snickers coupled
with digust over all the hullabaloo that was raised over nothing.
Had the authors of the letter been present and verbally confronted
the speaker with their questions, the audience might have been
greatly enlightened. As it was, we heard but one side of the argument,
which was the very thing that the history department was object
ing to. How under the circumstances, could its stand be considered
a valid one?
What could have been a real education for all, boomeranged
and became a "now I'm mad so I'm taking my marbles and going
home!" situation. At. any rate it may have established a precedent.
Henceforth it might be a good idea to speak when spoken to or
maintain a very humble silence.
Dear Mr. Novotny:
Editor Daily Nebraskan:
In recent copies of the Daily
Nebraskan have appeared stories
concerning the Sadie Hopkins Hop
to be presented this weekend, stor
ies both effective and well-timed.
We should like to take this op
portunity to point out, however,
that this event, sponsored by the
Union Activities committee and
taking place in the Union ballroom
Saturday evening, should not be
confused with the BUM'S BALL.
The BUM'S BALL, a hard times
party, is being held at the Col
lege Activities Bupilding of Ag
College Friday. November 14,
from 8:30 to 11:30 P M. under the
direction of the Un-affiliated Stu
dents Association.
The USA Council has planned
the BUM'S BALL on a non-profit
basis, as a service to all unaf
filiated students on both cam
puses. Music will be provided by
the Smith Warren orchestra; cos
tume prizes will be awarded, and
a variety program has been ar
ranged. While it is unfortunate that the
two occasions have been sched
uled during the same weekend,
their similarity in intent and
theme should not stand in the way
of the success of both. However
we feel that the differentiation
should be made clear and that the
BUM'S BALL should receive
equal recognition in the Daily Ne
braskan. Thanking you for your co-od-eration
in this matter, we are,
Sincerely,
MEMBERS OF THE

Kenton Plans Concerts Tour
To Exhibit "Progressive Jazz
BY STEVE SWARTZ.
Stan Kenton was here! Those
few words are almost sufficient
to describe Kenton and his band,
one of the most thrilling ag
gregations of musicians yet to
play this territory.
Stan, who justifiably calls this
the greatest band he has yet or
ganized, said "Although I hear
the same numbers again and again.
I get a new thrill each time."
Each section of the band from
th rhythm to the brass, includes
at least three outstanding soloists
who are capable, in themselves,
of making a great band out of
any of the many mediocre bands
of today. For example, the trum
pet section is composed of five
members, each one able to reach
a note higher than the next, and
all five outdoing the highest notes
of the birds themselves.
Enjoy College Dances
Although Stan enjoys playing
for the type of dance held at
the Turnpike Friday, night, he
remarked that his main ambi
tion is to make a success of his
concert tour which he will start
inthe near future. He wants to
get out of the ballrooms and pre
sent modern jazz to the average
person. His plans include a tour
of the major midwestern cities
and perhaps even Europe.
Tn n interview" with a Daily
Nebraskan reporter he stated,
"It's you college kids who will
influence the trend of the music
in the future. I think you will
agree that the old jazz and jitter
bug stuff is dead. I like be-bop
and it will definitely influence the
music of the future even as it is
now influencing present day
music. This music business is going
to pop in a year or so," Stan went
on, "and the fellows like Lom
bardo and Kaye are going to find
themselves on the outside look
ing in."
Records Belong to Cowboys.
Stan expressed regret that, "the
music business is mixed up, the
records belong to cowboys like
Tex Ritter."
The Kenton band bears out
everyone of Stan's contentions; it
is as modern as the new Stude
baker and as thrilling as an air
plane ride.
Early next year, Capitol will re
lease, in album form. "The Pro
logue Suite" which Kenton re
cently recorded. It is in two move
ments, and the latest word in pro
gressive jazz.
The band is as great as a band
can be, and Stan, as great as a
leader can be, left those who
heard them with nothing to be
desired in music and showmanship.
