Strings Are
Looking Up
Says Wishnow
Interest in string music and
performance is on the increase,
according to Emanuel Wishnow,
associate professor of violin and
conductor of the University of
Nebraska Symphony orchestra.
His views are expressed in the
current issue of the Music Jour
nal, American professional music
publication.
In his article, Wishnow reports
on the use of film strips in Ne
braska to help teach high school
and other students the fundamen
tals of a number of instruments,
including strings.
SUCH DEVICES, Wishnow says,
help rejuvenate interest in string
playing which suffered with the
intense popularity of school bands
He adds that the advent of tele
vision may stimulate interest in
violin, particularly.
As evidence that Nebraska
schools are maintaining an in
teiest in strings, Wishnow reports,
"In a survey prepared by Grant
Mathews of Scottsbluff Junior
college, CO senior high schools out
of 81 that were questioned, taught
instrumental music which in
cluded orchestra as well as band.
. . . This can be interpreted as a
sign that in Nebraska, schools are
maintaining orchestra and string
instrumental programs."
committee, will include three con

How to alienate professors and
stay in college a long, long time!
Many students have consci
i ously, or unconsciously, irri
I tated their instructors to the
. point where said professors were
almost nervous wrecks. This is
I bad!
! Such antics as setting alarm
clocks to go off in the middle of
j students don't make to their
; profs by hiding behind Daily Ne"
braskans during lectures; loud
of these things combine to make
the instructor's life a miserable
one.
COUNTLESS numbers of stu
dents have been for years asking
themselves the question, "How
i can I get along with my profes-
sors?" At last, through much re
search and from the verbal and
' written suggestions of students
' 1 1 ,J ,UA
is ready.
Any instructor likes a friendly
student. When you meet a pro
fessor on the campus, give him
a hearty slap on the back, then
chuck him in the ribs. He'll ap
preciate a warm handshake, so
when you shake hands with him,
try to crush his hand; twist it,
try to tear it off. He'll love it.
While doing all of this, address
him with some clever nickname
such as "Runt," "Baldy,"
"Shorty," or any other little af
fectionate title. Never, never, ad
dress him as "Doctor ," or
"Professor ." If you can't
think of a good nickname, call
him "George." Do this in the
classroom or on the campus, and
he'll love all of it!
ANOTHER THING professors
admire in a student is an undying
curiosity. If the instructor makes
some statement like, "Napoleon
met his defeat at Waterloo," ask
in a skpetical tone, "Did he?" or,
if your botany professor says,
"The primary functions of the
root are absorption, conduction
and anchorage," shout out in a
high tenor voice "Are they?" If
he looks a little astounded, give
him a wink and roar with laugh
ter you've a sense of humor.
He'll love it!
Compliment him on his clothes.
If you see him in a new suit, look
it over carefully and then, while
chucking him in the ribs, say
something like, "That's a beauti
ful suit, it's wonderful what your
mother can do with old potato
sacks" of "It's certainly marvelous
what tailors can do with second
hand clothing these days." He'll
appreciate every bit of it.
AFTER YOU have known him
for some time (about a week),
ask him if he minds your coming
over to his house for dinner fre
quently, and after doing this sev
eral times, take the family over
on Sunday. It's these personal
contacts that keep you on his
memory.
If you do all of this, if you carry
out these little steps carefully, you
will make a definite impression, a
unique impression, on your in
structors. The moral of this story
calls for a definition of the term
"college." College is the place
where when you do all these
things for about two weeks your
parents meet you on your return
home from.
When it comes to contributing
anecdotes reflecting real wit. the
crown goes to the teacher. The
coming of many teachers to the
University campus for summer
session has brought to light these
bits of humor.
Teacher said: "Annie, give the
formula for water."
Annie: "Yes, Miss Thompson.
HIJKLMNO."
Teacher: "Whatever are you
driving at? Do you think you're
in kindergarten?"
Annie: "No, Miss Thompson.
You said yesterday it was 'H to
