Griswold, who recently com

Greece, spoke to some 300 mem
bers of the faculty anr student

"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."

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.

Lueth to Speak
At Nu-Mcds9
First Meeting
Harold Lueth, dean of the Col
lege of Medicine, will speak at
the initial meeting of Nu-Meds,
pre-medical students' organiza
tion, Wednesday night at 7:30 in
Love library auditorium.

of a Doctor," Dean Lueth will
answer questions concerning med
ical school.

Nu-Meds, announced that all pre
med students may attend the
meeting. Those who are inter
ested in becoming members will
be given the opportunity to join.
All pre-meds intending to take

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.

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.
