'Huskerland? Author Dedicates. Winning Song to Gen. Pershing "I wanted to write a song for the University .1 Nebraska that would become as familiar as the Notre Dame Victory March or "On, Wisconsin," Harry Miner said in an interview with The Daily Nebraskan on release " of his song, "Huskerland" to univer sity students. Miner, former Husker football player and an active alumnus on the West coast, wrote the song for a contest sponsored by the university alumni association. "Huskerland" was named the winner in May, 1942. . Written with the faint echo of Indian tom-toms in the back ground, the song traces Nebras ka's athletic fame thru its lead ers from the turn of the century. Miner said that he had dedicated the song to Gen. of the Armies, John J. Pershing, '82, bacause "the general was a real fighter and a real Cornhusker and I believe that this song expresses his spirit and the spirit of Nebraska." Recorded. "Huskerland" has been record ed by the Long Beach, California municipal band. J. J. Richards, director of the band, told Miner in a letter, "You have a very snappy and catchy tune, well-suited to the purpose for which you wrote it and it compares favorably with other university songs." University band director, Don Lentz reported to The Daily Ne Book Store to allow students to sell their used books there and apply portions of their credit toward late copyright technical books which would then be in cluded in the shipment These ar rangements, Miss Anthony said, will be completed by the end of the week and the used book drive will probably continue then. All-Vet Convo Gets Walker Report Today I Norman E. Walker, the Uni Vets delegate to the recent Na tional Conference of Veteran Trainees, will report on activi ties of the conference when he makes the principal address at an all vet convocation Tuesday at 3 p. m. in Love Library audi torium. Walker, in a statement printed in The Daily Nebraskan last week, said that Nebraska's congressional representatives expressed them selves as favoring a reasonable increase" in GI bill allotments. But when the convening veterans tried to get passage of the Meade Bill (HR 866) before the special session of congress adjourned, they were rebuffed. The bill was tabled when the House voted a gag rule in the last 24 hours of the session, so that congressmen could get home for the Christmas holidays. Vets Want More. Delegates to the veteran con ference then voted to amend the Meade bill, revising the payments upward. They would like to see enactment of a new GI Bill pay ing $100 for single veterans, $125 for married student veterans and $10 for each additional depend ent. Current GI Bill payments are $65 and $90. with no provision for dependents. Keith Kittle, former Uni Vet president, will present statistics gleaned from a veterans' living expenses poll recently conducted on the campus and at several Ne braska colleges. He will compare living expenses at Nebraska with costs veterans are carrying at other schools across the country. Provisions have been made to bring vets living at Huskerville to the convocation. The regular 3:30 Huskerville bus will leave at 3:45 and arrive at Love Li brary in time for the convoca tion. braskan that "Huskerland" had been played at the Oklahoma foot ball game and that it would prob ably be in general use at univer sity pep occasions as soon as band orchestrations are available for the ntire band. Miner commented that his song was played at a football game for the first time by the Notre Dame varsity band at the Nebraska Notre Dame game. It was played in honor of Gov. Val Peterson and Michigan's Gov. Kim Sigler, both Cornhusker alumni. Arrangements for playing the song were made in a week, the songwriter said, "demonstrating Notre Dame's ea gerness to cooperate." General Pershinr. When General Pershing re ceived word of the dedication of "Huskerland" to him. Miner re ceived a letter of personal thanks. While Pershing is too ill to have the song played for him, he has had copies sent to army bands thruout the country. Miner expressed the desire that any royalties or funds received from "Huskerland" be placed in a fund to establish a university scholarship. He said that he hoped both the song and the schol arship would serve as inspirations to keep "the Cornhusker spirit alive." Words and music of the song will be printed in The Daily Ne braskan at a later date. KliLflsEseir Graduate Club Cancels Dinner The Graduate Club banquet originaly scheduled for 6:15 to night in Union parlors XYZ has been postponed until late in February. Approaching exams and other circumstances beyond the planning committee's con trol have forced the postpone ment. The large number of students who bought banquet tickets at the Union office may recover their money upon presentation of their tickets at the Union office, according to Rosanne Svoboda, program committee chairman. Announcement of the re-scheduled date will appear L later, she said. Music Group Against Ban On Recordings The National Asociation of Schools of Music adopted a reso lution against the'ban on record ings at its 23rd . annual meeting at the Hotel Statler in Boston. Arthur Westbrook, director of the School of Fine Arts, was Nebraska's representative to the convention. The resolution read in full: "The National Association of Schools of Music wishes to em phasize the fact that the pro posed ban on recording by the American Federation of Mu sicians deprives the schools of music of the United States of one of their most essential tools in the teaching of music. The association realizes that there are economic issues involved which cannot be easily resolved except perhaps by a revision of the out-moded copyright laws which can only be accomplished by Congressional ac tion. At the same time, the asso ciation re-emphasizes the fact that recordings are today as es sential in the teaching of music as is the microscope to the teacher of science and that the basic econ omic problem cannot be solved by merely discontinuing the making of records." Donald M. Swarthout of the University of Kansas was elected president of the association for the coming year. Social Workers Exhibit Traces Past Growth A display, created for bulletin board showing, has been placed at the south end of second floor Social Science by the Graduate School of Social work to show the growth of this field of study over a period of years. Consisting of a large water color scene, the display shows a hilly landscape criss-crossed by rivers which empty through a single channel into the sea. This represents steps in the advance ment of social work. The river-routes are marked at intervals by dates in the history of the growth of social work which indicate great single ad vances, such as the establishment of the first orphanage in America 1729, and the founding of the first school of social work in the United States. 1899. 3Ienuey lo Head '48 Newman Club Ray Menuey, Biz Ad sopho more, was elected president of the Newman Club for the fol lowing year at a general meet ing held at the Student Union Sunday afternoon.
