Cornell Profs
Get Students'
Point of View
Teaching foreign languages is a
hard job, but instructing teachers
to teach foreign languages seems
to be even more difficult. So Cor
nell University has developed a
new plan for instructors who plan
to teach foreign languages.
An International Collegiate
Press Bulletin explained that
Cornell, taking the long way
around, is preparing instructors
by having them learn an Asiatic
tongue Hindustani.
Operating on the principle that
the best preparation for teaching
is a knowledge of what it feels
like to receive it, Dr. J. Milton
Cowan, director of Cornell's Di
vision of Modern Languages, con
ducted a short course in the Indie
tongue for new staff members.
Hindustani was chosen because
it was totally unfamiliar to the
group, which represented 11 na
tionalities and dive different Eu
ropean languages.
The idea was a success, accord
ing to Dr. Cowan. He says that
the instructors acquired a "stu
dent point of view" and a sense
of humility, a virtue he terms a
teaching "must," in addition to
learning how to ask their way to
the restaurant, hotel, or railroad
station in Hindustani.
Because of the Military and
Mortar Board balls, closing
bours for women's residences
will be reversed the next two
weekends. Friday nights, Dec.
3 and 10, will be 1 o'clocks
while Saturday nights, Dec. 4
and 11, 'will be 12:30 nights,
Marion Crook, AWS president,
announced today.
Twenty-three cases are on the
docket, beginning with Becker
Lavaty against Froendt and
Gallagher on Dec. 7 and ending
with Stohlman and Freeman
against Orshek and Raymond on
Dec. 20.
The winners of the spring sen
ior competition will be announced
alter the case and will be pre
sented at the Law School ban
quet which is held annually. It is

BY HAROLD ABRAMSOX
Sport Editor
Nebraska's Cage team coached by Harry Good opened
the 1948-49 basketball season with a convincing 59-39 vic
tory over Northwest Missouri State Teachers college in
the Coliseum last night.
The Husker defense directed by guards Bob Cerv and
Henry Cech limited the Missouri quintet to 15 field goals
seven of which were scored in the first half.
Claude Retherford, flashy forward, led Nebraska
scorers, delivering 15 points for the Scarlet and Cream
cause, and was ably assisted by Center Milton "Bus" White
head who added 12, Joe Malecek and Kenny Anderson who
dunked seven each.
i
If the Cornhusker staff does
accept the challenge, the talent
laden Daily Nebraskan team is ex
pected to walk off with the game.
With triple-threat man Harold
Abramson in the backfield, backed
up by the shrewd quarterbacking
of Cub "Tripucka" Clem and
broken-field running of shifty Lee
Harris, the backfield will be
loaded with dynamite. Bob Phelps
will add stability and punch
Possible starters on the line
are: M. J. Melick, left-tackle;
Susie "Trainwreck" Reed, right
tackle; "Galloping" Louise MeDill,
center; Mane "Swivel-hips Har
ris at right guard and Jeanne Ker
rigan at left-guard. Rumors have
it that Fritz "the Ghost" Simpson
and Frank "the Tiger" Jacobs,
will play right and left end.
Sifting through the line on de
fense will be Box Axtell and
Keith O'Bannon "the terrible two"
from the business office.
The starting Cornhusker Year
book lineup remains a question
mark. -
NU-Mels Postpone Meet
The Nu-Med meeting originally
planned to be held Wednesday,
Dec, 1, has been postponed until
Wednesday, Dec. 8. Further an
nouncements will appear in the
Daily Nebraskan.
Scoring was evenly divided
among the losers with Joe Wolh
ford and Al Henningsen each
scoring nine points respectively.
New Jackets
The Huskers, sporting new
warmup jackets looked good in the
season's opener hitting 13 of 26
field goal attempts in the first
half. By the game's end they had
managed to dunk 24 of 53 at
tempts. The Missouri Teachers opened
the scoring when Don Scott potted
a free-throw after being fouled
by Cerv. Nebraska shook off its
opening game jitters after Bus
Whitehead tipped in a rebound
shot seconds later.
Huskers Take Lead
Al Henningsen managed to slip
through the Husker defense to
basket two points and give the
Teachers a short lived one point
lead. Claude Retherford hit the
nets for two points and Joe Mal
ecek accounted for two more to
give the Scarlet a lead which was
never relinquished.
Whitehead and Reth e r f o r d
matched baskets to give Nebraska
a 13-5 advantage with ten min
utes remaining in the first period.
Whitehead Tallys
Later in the first period big
"Bus" scored a ..freethrow and
then dropped two points through
the nets on a clever pass in front
of the basket from Retherford.
Good sent in a new team just
before the half which saw Rod
Cox and Bob Pierce, forwards;
Dick Schleiger, center; Bob Gates
and Larry Walsh, guards. Rod
Cox hit the rim for two baskets
and Gates: added another with five
seconds remaining in the first

Ex-Scrviccmcn
Chorus lo Give
Concert Today
Acclaimed on two continents
by millions of enthused listeners,
the American Male chorus com
posed of 24 ex-servicemen, will
present a special campus concert
at 11:50 a. m. Thursday in the
Union lounge.
Hailed by newspapers through
out the land as "inspiring," the
all-veteran choral group is on an
extensive tour of the country.
Performances have been given
ranging from small school houses
to Carnegie hall.
The group, representing almost
all branches of the armed forces,
was founded by its present con
ductor, Lewis Bullock while an
officer in the 86th (Blackhawk)
Division. Over 300,000 service
men in the Orient heard the stir
ring music of the chorus.
A special request by the war
department brought the chorus
back to the United States in Sep
tember 1946 to tour army hos
pitals. WThen a sudden drastic
cut in army appropriations com
pelled the war department to
discontinue the hospital tour,
these men received their dis
charges as a unit in California
and began their National Good
Will tour which has become one
of the most unique concert tours
ever made in this country.
There is no charge to see and
hear the chorus at the Union.
The program will be 15 to 20
minutes in length. Five other
concerts are being presented in
town-town Lincoln this week by
the unit.
