subject which consists of: the
teaching of an alphabet to record
speech as it sounds.
Simmons served in the South
Pacific where he went in oombat
duty. A tropical infection of the
ers -caused him to have a -complete
loss of hearing. Because
he mastered the art of lip read
ing, few knew of his defect. In
fact, few students in the pho
netics -class even suspected that
his hearing was not perfectly
normal. Those who knew of his
handicap agreed that he would
never be able to pass the course
but he succeeded.
Overcomes Trouble
People who become deaf usu
ally begin to have difficulty in
speech. But Simmons, deter
mined to avoid this trouble,
worked out a system which en
abled him to keep his nearly per
fect voice from deteriorating. Ev
ery night, for an hour at a time,
he would read aloud to his wife.
This kept his voice completely
normal.
So excellent was his lip read
ing that a person talking face to
face with him could not discover
the defect. But if anyone would
have stood in a position where
it was impossible for Simmons to
Beware of (Ugh!) The Thing j
Warns Frustrated Victim
BY CONNIE -GORDON
Here is a true-life incident
that could have happened to you,
you, or even YOU!
This story concerns a person
whom we shall call X. L. Believe
it or not, X. L. was a happy young
man before "it" came into his
life.
Here is the tragic story in his
own words:
"I was a carefree "young stu
dent at NU, until I found out the
horrible secret that everyone in
America is wondering about.
"Since that fateful day, a smile
never passes my lips and my days
are dark and dreary. I've become
frustrated, developed complexes,
and have started smoking two
cartons of cigarettes a day out of
sheer nervousness.
"Do you know why I'm so
frustrated and perplexed? It's
because (brace yourself ) I have
found out what v(ugh!) 'The
Thing' is.
A Little Man
"It all started as I was non
chalantly walking to my 8 o'clock
Purchase of
Dictionaries
Complicated
When buying a complete un
abridged dictionary select either
the second or third edition. TSrick
son is partial to the second edi
tion while Joe is partial to the
third edition which includes dia
grams of the architecture of early
American women.
Do not buy a dictionary unless
It contains sections on color
charts and spectrum (color plates
preferred) and common birds of
America. If a color portrait of
Noah Webster is not included, ask
for your money back.
If you wish 3,000 pages of clean
reading (Sears and Wards have
less pages) you will want the un
abridged edition.
The new work section gives the
reader a thorough grounding in
modern vocabulary 'with words
such as senate office building and
a new variety of reindeer such as
red nose.
Students who want a lighter
load during the semester -can
carry the abridged dictionary.
Its cheapness is another quality
along with the handsome binding
that would make any student's
mouth water.
Any student would feel inferior
(as students without TV sets al
ready are) if he asked his girl
for a kiss and she answered with
"Chold." He would naturally
jump to the (false) -conclusion
that she said she was cold and
didn't want his affection. To the
informed, however, chold means
I would. A pocket dictionary
would have saved a social
blunder, unless he is the kind
that doesn't ask first.
A man once said that by read
ing the dictionary every day he
was promoted from office boy
to assistant manager in eight
weeks. He was associated with
the Central Corporation of Cross
Word Puzzles and had married
the boss's daughter.

read his lips, the veteran would
have been unable ta hear even
the loudest yells or orys.
Before joining the army, Sim
mons was working toward a de
gree in sociology. When he re
ceived his honorable discharge,
he returned to the University of
Southern California where he
changed his major to speech and
hearing correction.
The veteran, who because of
an incurable disease will never
hear again, decided to go to the
South to help the members of
his race who are either deaf or
hard of hearing. There are al
most no such special teachers in
Negro communities.
'Never Complained'
Wiley said he will never for
get Simmons. He added, "Sim
mons was an intelligent, good
looking, healthy young man with
a charming personality. In spite
of his great handicap, he never
uttered a word of complaint."
Simmons was a man of tre
mendous courage and initiative,
Wiley said, and all who knew
him respected and admired him.
He had the "guts" to overcome
a terrible handicap, he continued,
and eventually to go on to help
the people of his race.

out of the bushes and exclaimed,
'Help! Help! They're after me be

he had become since 'it' came
into his life. Then, before I knew
what was happening, he threw
a box in my arms, and dashed
away, leaving me standing there,
stupified and dumbfounded.
"As stunned as I was, I opened
the box, mostly out of -curiosity,

"But everything's quiet now;
the little men with the white
jackets will be after me in a lit

I -want to offer you some advice.
It may save you from this ordeal
that I've gone through.
"If a little man ever jumps out

it right back at him and then as
loud as you can, yell, 'Get out of

THE DAILY NLBRASKAN
Fine Arts
Ensemble
Plans Concert
A while back, say a hundred
years or so, when good friends
wanted to get together for a real
friendly time, they got a roarin'
good fire in the fireplace, hired
a good combo and settled -"back
in the shadows in an intimate
fashion." Only they -called it
chamber music.
For those of you who are still
confused about just what cham
ber music is, there's an easy way
to find out. The Friends of
Chamber Music will open their
second season with a concert on
Dec. 1 at 8 p.m. in the Union
ballroom.
Fine Arts Ensemble
The concerts will be given by
the fine arts ensemble. The mem
bers of this group are: Emanuel
Wishnow, violin; Mrs. Gladys
May, piano; Mrs. Rosemary Mad
ison, cello; Max Gilbert? viola;
and Truman Morsman, second
violin. Guests from the Omaha
Symphony Orchestra will be
added to the ensemble during the
second and third concerts.
Chamber music was originated
as a form of relaxation for people
who were interested in music, but
not professionally. For everyone
it was an -ejoyable evening of in
timate music without the strain
and -excitement -of the regular
concert music.
Noted Composers
Such -composers as Haydn,
Brahms, Mendelssohn, Mozart,
Schubert, Spaeight
Beethoven
and Chausson have loaned their
talents to this field and the re-
suit is music that has lived for
over a century.
ThP frionrlc jif rhamhsr tnncir-
was founded in the spring of
1949 with the purpose of bring-
ing the -enjoyment of classical
music to -other music lovers and
students. This year they plan a
series of three concerts, the first
of which will be Thursday eve-
ning. Tickets tor the series are
S3. 60 and -single admission is
$1.50. Student tickets are half
price.
Honors Committee

"Members of the Honors con
vocation committee have consid-
ered including the event in next
year's College Days.
The group has not taken defi
nite action as was stated in Tues

ing to Dr. Roscoe Hill, chairman
of the committee.
The student and faculty group j

University students and in

The general opinion seems to
be that the Chinese attack has
already begun. One person stated
that since 1932 the Chinese have
been preparing for aggression
against America. For the last

have gone so far in their prepara
tions for aggression that we cant
stop them without an all out war,
A-bomb Use
2. Should the A-bomb be used
in Korea?
The pinion was about half
and half. Some thought it should
be used and others did not think
it should be used. Their reasons
were varied. Fear seemed to be
the biggest problem. Fear that
if we used it to stop aggression
the enemy would come across
the ocean and do the same to us,
S Do you think it would be
effective if used?
. Even though some of the peo
ple interviewed expressed fear,
they thought if it were used in
the right places and at the right
time the A-bomb would be ef
fective. Harold Peterson, president of
NUWA, answered the three ques
tions by saying that the Chinese
attack has begun.
He thinks that if the Chinese
are succeeding they will not stop
at the 38th parallel, but will drive
us -on and possibly out of Korea,
Scare Weapon
He does not think the A-bomb
should be used in Korea. It
would be useful -only as a scare
weapon. The Chinese are used
to more drastic things, such as
earth quakes, floods and plagues.
Carl J. Schneider, assistant
professor -of political -science,
stated that the Chinese attack has
begun since they are now fight
ing the American forces.
He said that the A-bomb
should not be used except for
military use. Generalizing he
states that the political and mili
tary implications -of its use would
have to be explored before a
definite -answer could be given.
As to its effectiveness, it would
depend upon what was being
bombed and destroyed. A specific
answer could not be given until
one knew what the targets and
the purpose of its use would be.
