Griswold, who recently com pleted his assignment as chief of the American Mission for Air to Greece, spoke to some 300 mem bers of the faculty anr student body at the year's first convoca tion. lie pointed out the irony of us ing American political campaign tactics in an anti-U. S. attack. "You might say," he added, "that the thing to do is to let those countries go communist and find out for themselves. The only trouble with that is the fact that there is no second chance there's never a second election where people can correct 'their mistake." He illustrated Greek resistance to this type of propaganda in the spring election of '46 when the voters chose, by a large majority, to remain the only non-commu ntm mm Grads to Stage Party in Union The Graduate club will hold a "get-acquainted" meeting tonight in Room A of the Union at 7:30.

Greece Cannot Support Population The fundamental trouble in Greece, Griswold stated, is that the country has about 2 million more people than it can support, lie added that migration would be the most simple solution, but that is not feasible. The next best solution for the Greek nation, he continued, would be industrialization, and the gov ernment aided by AMAG is now working toward that end. Al though Near Eastern markets are now available, it will take a long time to develop a degree ol in dustrialization sufficient to supply them. Greeks Like Americans. "The people of Greece," he said, "like the Americans very much." He felt that this sentiment was not only prompted by an appre ciation of American aid, but was based on our liberal immigration policy toward Greece and their own preference for democratic principles. The duties of the AMAG have been discontinued and Greek re habilitation will be carried on un der the auspices of the European Recovery program.

Cadeting Valuable Sixty curious young minds and sixty thousand still more curious questions go to form the daily plight of the university cadet teacher in practising for their profession in grammar schools throughout Lincoln. Actually, it's not all headaches at least not to the majority. Per haps a very few count the two or three morning or afternoon sessions each week as merely ev tra labs or long stretches be tween cigarettes but most of the girls sincerely enjoy them. "Aft er all," said one cadet, "who can resist youngsters who come to you with serious faces and tell of humorous family squables or ask as did one curious little girl 'Do you have a little girl at home'?" But an impression that this is all play time is false, for like the rest of the academic program riods of practice teaching serve a serious and definitely useful purpose and require a consid erable quantity of thought and effort. Five cadet hours of cadeting ar required in the primary or kindergarten to third grade edu cation curiculum beside the reg 4 , s', features instruments such as the oboe, french horn and bassoon. Many of the band's arrangements are highlighted by Lawrence's own unique style of semi-symphonic music, calling for use of his woodwintette and original brass touches. Awarded Most Honors Lawrence, the 24-year-old band leader from the University of Pennsylvania, his orchestra and his piano have been awarded more honors than any other name bandleader in the United States in the scant two years he has been in the business. The most recent honor to befall the youth ful band is the Billboard rating which placed them fifth in all dance bands, bowing only to Tex Beneke, Stan Kenton, Vaughn Monroe and Tommy Dorsey. Even before the Lawrence or chestra was fully organized for its push to the top, Look magazine named it the "Band of 1947." Orchestra World magazine fol lowed this by nominating Elliot's as the best of the new bands. Students Choose Lawrence The Billboard campus poll for the last two years has rated the Lawrence band the number one choice of the student set. The margin in the campus poll was four to one over the nearest rival for the honor. This is due partly to the band's preference to p'ay college dates. Since his entry into name band ranks, Lawrence has played at more than 100 colleges. An all time college appearance record was set last year by Lawrence, when he appeared at 60 colleges and uni versities in one year. Indications are that this record will be broken by Lawrence himself this year. Included on his itinerary have been Princeton, Purdue, Yale, Duke and scores of state colleges and universities. Down Beat and Metronome, na tional magazines among the dance band crowds, also placed Elliot Lawrence in a high position among all name bands for 1948 and tops in the new band field. Columbia records claim Lawrence in a long time contract. Offers Training ular burden of education and elec tive courses. These are acquired by joining two hour and three hour courses together in subse quent semesters. Fortifying these five hours of actual experience with children are two to four years of college study and prepar edness. Upon graduation two year students are eligible to accept teaching positions. Many co....)lete a four year course, for the extra study gains them a higher start ing salary in a profession notor ious for skimpy pay checks. Early each year, meetings of Teachers college instructors and potential cadets are held wherein school assignments are made for the girls. They may draw any one of the city's several grades. Each must then report to an instructor in the selected school, be intro duced to the class, and serve un der this instructor .as a general assistant for the school term. Tasks incurred in practice teaching may run from paint brush cleaning, clay moulding or onse blowing in the kindergarten rooms to story telling, music di rection and reading instruction in the higher grammar grades. All are spiced with unscheduled sur prises and the student teacher is rare who does not acquire the af fection of some young gentleman.
