Shakespeare's "Henry V" Will Play in Lincoln The British technicolor film version of William Shakespeare's "Henry V returns to Lincoln for a four-performance run at the Varsity theater beginning Mon day, Feb. 28. The special student price is 60 cents. The film stars the renowned British actor, Laurence Olivier who also handles the directing and producing chores. Supporting are several well-known men of Eng lish filmdom including Robert Newton as Pistol, Felix Aulmer as the Archbishop of Canterbury Renee Asherson as Katherine. As Shakespear wrote it, "Henry V" 'is an intensely masculine sim ple sanguine drama of kinghood and war. Henry, an endearingly wild prince of Wales, has to prove his worthiness for the kingship by leading his army in war. He invades France, England's long time enemy. Outnumbered, he tries to withdraw his weary army to the seacoast. McCracken Sounds Keynote Deploring Collapse of Morals Al Nebraska Ministers Convo "What does religion matter, as long as one is decent? That question was considered Tuesday night at St. Paul Meth odist church by Dr. Robert J. McCracken, keynote speaker at the annual Nebraska ministers' convocation.

ROTC Band To Present Lentz Music Music to be heard at Sunday's concert by the University ROTC Symphonic band includes one of director Donald Lentz's own com positions, as well as selections by classical and contemporary writ ers. The 95 musicians will open the program at 3 p. m. in the Coli seum with Borodin's '"Overture Prince Igor." This will be fol lowed by a Wagnerian excerpt, "Siegfried's Rhine Journey"- from "The Twilight of the Gods." "LEGEND," a selection by P,(U1 Creston, contemporary American composer, is next on the program. A beautifully constructed work of rich harmonic and melodic material, it is one of the few concert numbers originally writ ten for band. "From the Delta," by Still, is a set of three short pieces, "Work Song", "Spiritual' and "Dance". Also in three parts is Williams' "Folk Song Suite". The individ ual numbers are entitled "Seven teen Come Sunday", "My Bonny Boy" and "Folk Songs from Som erset". LENTZ'S .MARCH, NAMED "Pantomime" is a rapid, lively work, with melody passages j shifting from section to section. Its performance will follow the playing of Williams' "Orion" by a cornet choir. Another special group number is that by the drum ensemble. To the trio of Leonard's "Listen to the Drummers," members of the percussion section will play original compositions of student musicians. The concluding work is Mor ton Gould's "Jericho," a musical telling of the familiar Bible story. Even "Dry Bones" on the left would look Rood in one of our nifty Manhattan shirts.

"TWO WARS HAVE smashed moral standings," said McCrack en," and America is no stranger to corruption, though this coun try has suffered no physical damage." The successor to Harry Emer son Fosdisk at Riverside stated that more and more young peo ple in the U. S. are without in hibitions. He said that a grow ing number of young people have no religious memories or tradi tions. "THE KINSEY REPORT has brought home to us the fact that it is growing commonplace to disregard marriage bans and the Ten Commandments," said Mc Cracken. "More people are say ing that religion is like moral ity a matter of personal choice." McCracken pointed out that beliefs determine behavior and asked, "Why is the decent thing decent if there is no God?" He commented that beliefs taken seriously put a stamp on a per son s character. THE SPEAKER SHOWED that decency is not self-sustaining since it has nothing to feed upon. He called America's greatest need "a need of principles, values and standards." "How long will decency last?" asked McCracken, "if religious beliefs continue to descend? A decay of religion is always fol lowed by a deterioration of morals," he added.
