Foltz Predicts
Presentation
David Foltz's admonition to
600 students: "You're to be an
angelic chorus, not down below
with the rest of us," may be an
indication of the type of program
to be presented Sunday, Dec. 10.
Rehearsals are In full swing
for the University School of Fine
Arts annual presentation of the
"Messiah." Handel's oratorio will
be given, free of charge, Sunday,
Dec. 10. at 3 p.m. in the Coliseum.

duction of the world famous or
atorio. A chorus of 600 voices,
the 65-piece University sym
phony orchestra and four soloists,
accompanied by piano and organ,
will .make ...up. the presentation.
Mrs. ' Anna Hayden Williams
will sing the soprano solo selec
tions. Mrs. Williams has pre
sented recitals in Las Vegas,
Nev.; Beloit, Wis.; Little Rock,
Ark. and in many other cities.
For two consecutive years, 1947
and 1948, she won second place
in the "Voices of Tomorrow"
sponsored by the World Herald.
Bonita Blanchard
The alto solos will be sung by
Bonita Blanchard, a University
senior. Miss Blanchard attended
the University of South Dakota
and Huron college before coming
to Nebraska. She sang contralto
solos for the presentation of the
Messiah in 1948 by the Huron
college choir and was in the
operetta "Pirates of Pinzance"
while in school there. She is a

to Zion," Gory to God" and

Traditional carols will be
taken from cards they filled out
for religious boukses during reg
istration. Some bouses were not
prompt in sending cards to
Builclders and they dwindled in
for weeks.
Checking of telephone num
bers by the telephone company
took additional time and money.
Staff Chanted
Change in staff during the
semester caused delay. Helen
Vitek replaced Bob Mosber as
editor.

tory now us at the Journal ready
for printing and binding.
'Best Ever'
of 'Messiah'
heard from the Ralph Mueller
carillon tower, preceeding and
following the Messiah concert.
Dr. Foltz commented that when
the chorus met together for the
first time they were co-ordinated
more quickly and with less de
tailed explanation and compli
cations that any time when he
had directed the "Messiah."
This is Dr. Foltz's third year
as "Messiah" director. He directs
it every other year, with Dr.
Westbrook conducting on alter
nate years. The one not in charge
of the "Messiah" takes over the
spring concert.
Dr. Foltz feels that the chorus
is better "than it has ever been,"
the orchestra the "best we've
ever had." He is "very pleased"
with the soloists.
He said that this year's "Mes
siah" has the potentiality of being
the best one since the war."
The Union will hold a coffee
hour in the lounge following the
concert.

Two Frosh
Moot Court
Teams Win
Two freshmen teams were
eliminated by decisions of Moot
Court judges Wednesday night
and Thursday afternoon.
Max J. Bahr and Richard L.
Spangler defeated Peter J. Peters
and Charles E. Dillman and John
D. Knapp were awarded the de
cision over James Gallehon and
Joseph D. Wood.
Judges, seniors in the law col
lege, were D. A. Boyd, J. Mc
Aneny, G. E. Fiebig, R. Scoville,
G. E. Stahl and J. Wentstrand.
A contracts case won by Bahr
and Spangler concerned the
owner of a men's store, Mr. Pull
er, who was loosing money be
cause of debts owed to him and
M. Botch who offered to help
him collect his money.
Botch suggested that Puller
send out stamped, self-addressed
envelopes in the monthly bills
and save between 25 and 75
per cent.
Puller agreed to accept his
suggestion and to give Botch 25
per cent of what he saved, As it
turned out, he only saved 25 per
cent by using the idea and Botch
sued him for the amount.
The decision was that Botch
could recover.
The decision won by Dillman
and Knapp concerned a consti
tutional question. Harper, a Ne
gro and a student at the Allan
law college, wished to transfer
to the University of Allan Jaw
i school and was denied entrance.

However, there was one profes
j sor in the University who was
; outstanding in the particular

study.
Test To Att?nrt
Of the two schools I.'c joes had
always been placed in the Al
lan School and Harper would
have been the first to attend the
University had he been ad
mitted.
The courts held that he was
properly denied admission to the
school. In discussing the case,
Robert Moodie, director of the
Moot Court, said that "the de
cisions of the judges are not
according to law but rather the
caliber of the cases presented."
