FULL-FASHIONED
To the Editor:
It is time that the misconcep
tions held by you and many other
university students pertinent to
the Morrill Act be corrected. If
you will check with the library
any other authoritative source, or
the university ROTC department
you will discover that the law
under which the university was
established, which was enacted in
1862, merely requires a land
grant college or university to of
fer the subject of military train
ing to any eligible male student
who plprts to take it. The act
does, not state that the teaching
of military science te compulsory.
Indeed, the same problem has
nresented itself on the campuses
of many other land grant schools,
also established under the Mor
rill Act, and in many instances,
the University of Minnesota lor
example, the subject has become
an elective. Here at the Univer
sity of Nebraska the taking of
four semesters of Military Sci
ence is required by the Board
of Regents, but this is an admin
istration ruling rather than one
required by the Morril Act.
As we are all aware, there are
many well founded arguments
against the compulsory teaching of
military science, and there can
bo little doubt that it will become
more and more prominent as
compulsory military training be
comes an issue in the present
session of the Congress of the
United States. My only fear is
that unless all of us begin to
take an active interest in such
things we shall soon be sacrific
ing the democratic principles
which we all cherish and begin
existing for the state, rather
having the state exist for us.
Since my letter of yesterday
there has been much comment
on many of the phases of military
science and compulsory military
training, which is being pushed in
Congress by the American Le
gion. It is my belief that The
Daily Nebraskan would be per
forming a service to the campus
by printing a series of debates on
these subjects and then conduct a
student poll. Just a passing sug

String Interest
Lacking, Says
Music Prof.
Addressing a clinic sponsored
by the university's music de
partment. Prof. Emanuel Wish
now of the School of Music told
music educators from through
out the state that school, college
and community orchestras are
slowly disappearing in Nebraska
because of a disinterest of stu
dents in stringed instruments.
Prof. Wishnow asked ' "Why
should Nebraska people travel
miles to hear orchestral music,
or not hear it at all, when it is
relatively easy to start building
foundations now for school or-

chestras in which the community
can take great pride?"
"If we do not arouse greater
interest in stringed instruments
in our schools now it will deprive
youngsters the privilege of par
ticipating in the greatest of our
musical literature. It will deprive
others of the enjoyment of hear
ing good music."

Bornoff Cites
State Plan
To Musicians
Dr. George Bornoff, music edu
cator of Columbia University, ad
dressed over 50 college and high
school music educators Friday and
Saturday when they gathered on
campus to plan a program to
encourage more students through
out the state to play string in
struments. "If you buy a child a tennis
racket and ball and tell him to
bounce the ball against the back
of the house for four years," said
Bornoff, "he soon loses interest.
If he plays with someone else he .
learns quickly.
"The same is true of students
learning the violin. Today we
know that teaching youngsters
violin in small classes develops
group comparison, observation and
competition."
MASTERSON GUEST SPEAKER.
Bernie Masterson, University of
Nebraska football coach, will
