Clark Says Team
To Need Support
Calls for Student Backing
During Interview Monday
BY CUB CLEM.

advice for the student body.
According to the new grid coach, the "mental attitude
Werkmeister
Authors Book
On Philosophy
Dr. W. H. Werkmeister, chair
man of the department of philos
ophy, is the author of a newly
published textbook, "An Intro
duction to Critical Thinking."
Besides being used in Philos
ophy 10 classes here, the book,
published by the Johnson Pub
lishing Company of Lincoln, will
be used at the University of Min
nesota. Examination copies have
been requested by 40 other
schools.
In the introduction to this be
ginners text in logic, Dr. Werk
meister states its purpose as, "To
connect various aspects of critical
thinking with actual problems of
the immediate past and present to
show the student that logic is
not abstract play upon empty
forms." To. do this, he uses as
examples actual case studies with
quotations from literature from
the Communist Manifesto to the
Bible.
Propaganda is analyzed for the
first time in a text book with ex
amples from such different
sources as the Omaha World-Herald
and the Daily Worker;
Thomas E. Dewey, Robert R. Mc
Cormick, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
and Westbrook Pegler.
Another section of the book is
devoted to the most modern type
of symbolic logic. Experimenta
tion and the scientific method is
also discussed.
Dr. Werkmeister received his
first copy of the book on March 3.

University Orchestra Displays
Wide Talent in Sunday Concert
BY SAM WARREN.
Special Features Editor.
A program chosen by Conduc
tor Emanuel Wishnow to display
the abilities of each section of the
University Symphony orchestra
from strings to tympani was per
formed in the Union ballroom
Sunday before an enthusiastic ca
pacity crowd.
Opening with a rousing over
ture that set the pace for a con
sistently good performance
throughout the program, the or
chestra moved on to the six con
trasting movements of the de
lightfully pleasant "Water Music"
suite by Handel. The short horn
pipe excerpt was notable for the
effectiveness of woodwinds, and
the final Allegro deciso for the
neat execution of the brass pas
sages. Principal - clarinet, oboe and
bassoon players from the wood
wind sections took a bow also fol
lowing the sprightly, light-hearted
scherzo from Mendelssohn's
"Midsummer Night's Dream" in
cidental music. The companion
number, the tranquil nocturne,
was performed with a finesse of
shading, both in tone-coloring and
tempo, under Wishnow's able di
rection. And it was evident throughout
the program that not only does
the university possess a first-rate
orchestral conductor in the per
of the players will depend a lot
on the backing they get from the
students."
Clark stated that he would keep
his end of the bargain, that of
putting a well-conditioned and
well-drilled team onto the field,
and said he hoped the students
would carry through and give the
players the extra lift they need
to play at their best.
New Formation?
Answering a question on what
formation he intended to use,
Clark said he would have to wait
until he saw the boys in action to
be able to tell which to use. The
grid boss said that though he is
by experience a wingback type of
coach, he will use the "T" if he
thinks his players work into it
better.
"I would rather fit the forma
tion to the players than fit the
players to the formation," he said.
While saying nothing definite
about prospects for next fall,
Clark stated that his team would
play one game at a time and let
the opposition do the advance
worrying.
'45 Season.
When he was here in 1945 in
the same capacity, Clark started
from scratch with one returning
letterman, Fred Lorenz, a sopho
more who finished his collegiate
career this past season. The team
lost its first five games but fin
ished strong to take the last four.
At the end of the season, Clark
was presented with a plaque by
the school in appreciation of his
efforts in producing a fighting ball
team.
The new Husker mentor has
been lately associated in a non
athletic position with a business
school in Grand Rapids, Mich. His
grid playing and coaching career,
including college and pro ball,
reaches back to World War I. He
has played and coached both col
lege and pro ball.
According to Clark, spring
training will begin next Monday,
to enable the snow to clear and
the coaches to get things more
organized.

son of Emanuel Wishnow, but also
that the orchestra readily re
sponds to his directives.
The s y m p h o n y's undaunted
supporters who have followed the
group ovct recent years can meas
ure the orchestra's achievement
in terms of the length of time
that Wishnow has been working
with the orchestra since his re
turn from armed service in Eu
rope five or six semesters ago.
This re-vitalizing of the orches
tra is particularly notable in the
strengthening of the string sec
tions, as well as in the general
integrating of the orchestra.
The "symphony's most ambitious
undertaking of the afternoon,
Tchaikowsky's programmatic
"Romeo and Juliet" fantasy-overture,
illustrated this rapport that
exists between conductor and or
chestra. While sectional attacks
outside the strings were too gen
erally fuzzy, and the strict ad
herence to pitch a little unsteady
within the strings, the orchestra
came through with a commend
able and exciting reading that
brought demands for three cur
tain calls by the audience for the
conductor.
