one of the most hard-working
students he had ever had, that is,
hard-working in everything but
mathematics. Although Bill re

195, he, with the help of several
outstanding music enthusiasts,
set up a laboratory for a fair
test of these new works, minus
box office and managerial pres
sure. He described the audience
reception as "favorable" and one
of the compositions "so new that
it had never been heard before
not even by the composer."
Hanson said that 500 orches
tral composers had works that
had been performed in this lab
oratory. The project aimed to
present a crosssection of Ameri
can music and get a broad vari
ety at the same time. ,
Gershwin, Rogers, Thompson
Hanson cited George Gersh
win, Bernard Rogers and Virgil
Thompson as some of those who
had works performed there.
"Music today," said Hanson,
"seems to follow several direc
tions." First, it may serve as a
means of communication. Sec
ond, it may follow the folk pat
tern. From there it may take the
form of the dance, or it may ap
peal to the sensual faculty of
sound. The accent may be on
abstract rhythm, or it may be
the result of formal construction.
Last, it could be the result of
the composer's own "cerrebra
tion" minus sensuality.
The last of bis series of lec
tures on "The Place of Music
in Contemporary American Cul
ture" will be tonight at Love Li

be "Obstacles to Progress in

'to make matters worse, ulcers.
Besides that, he had a few other

ISA Election
Date Named
By Tomasek
Elections for officers of the
campus Independent Students
Association have been scheduled
for March 19. Jim Tomasek,
present president, announced this
election date . in the Student
Council meeting yesterday.
This election will be held
sooner than it has previously
been scheduled so that ISA rep
resentatives will be able to at
tend the national ISA conven
tion in Lawrence, Kansas, a
week after theelections.
Preceeding the setting of the
election date, the Student Coun
cil has been investigating and
discussing ways and means to
improve the Independent organ
ization on campus.
Poll Conducted.
Council members conducted a
poll to sound out the reactions
of Independents in regard to
supporting various types of In
dependent organizations.
Tomasek said, speaking for
members of the ISA council who
met this week to discuss the cur
rent problem, that the poll rep
resented interest in an Inde
pendent organization but not the
active and financial support
which the organization needs.
Copies of the ISA constitution
were distributed to Council mem
bers and also copies of the mem
bership cards. Tomasek said that
H. P. Davis has consented to
serve as faculty adviser for the
ISA.
ISA Purposes Given
Purpose of ISA, as felt by ISA
council members, is to act as a
service guide for all Independent
action on campus issues and to
remedy social and recreational
activities for Independent stu-
dents when a lack exists.
Tomasek suggested that ISA
help the Student Council on the
"New Student's Week" which is
vj go imo eiiev-i. next iau.
Tomasek asked whether ISA
is to be just another campus in
dependent organization or an
over-all guide for Independent
students.
He also -asked Council -members
whether ISA should work
for the betterment of just those
belonging to the group or should
act as a unifying body for all
Independent students and actions
on campus.
Raun Answers Tomasek
Rob Raun, Student Council
president, answered Tomasek
that "If ISA does its job well, it
will be a unifying organization."
Raun felt that the ISA should
head its campus responsibilities
under service, social and recre
ational and guide on campus is
sues. Filings for ISA officers will
open sometime next week.
These filings should be turned
into the ISA office in the Union
or to Jim Tomasek.

Rodeo Group,
Fair Board
Plan Meeting
The newly formed but not yet
ratified Ag Rodeo association will
meet Tuesday, Feb. 20, with
Farmers Fair board to discuss
agreements the two groups must
reach prior to their join sponsor
ship of the rodeo division of the
1951 Farmers Fair.
Student council has ruled that
before the Ag group of rodeo en
thusiasts can become an official
University organization, they
must clarify existing portions of
their proposed constitution and
add to it a workable agreement
with Farmers Fair board as to
financing of rodeo programs.
It is hoped, a Farmers Fair
board spokesman said, that the
Rodeo group can work up a tang
ible amendment agreeable to
everyone involved.
If agreement is reached, the
club will work under Jack Wrilson
and Rex Messersmith, Fair board
members and rodeo co-chairmen.
Jack King was named announ
cer for this year's rodeo. King was
announcer at the 1950 rodeo
which was last spring.
A Lincoln resident, he is re
ported to be in poular demand
by regular western rodeos and
their attendants who come from
every corner of the world to at
tend the traditional "rip and
roaring events."
A board member said King is
offering his service free of charge
with best interests of the rodeo
club in mind.

Freshmen Girls' Dorm Asks
Governing Body Representative
Student representation on various faculty commit
tees was taken up by the Student Council members yester
day. After discussing the plan with D. A. Worcester,
chairman of the faculty committee on committees, the
Council selected several faculty committees on which
they wish student representation.
The student body now has rep-
resentation on the convocations
committee, committee on student
publications and the honors con
vocation committee.
Suggested faculty groups to
include student representation
are: University Senate, calendar
committee, commencement and
honorary degrees committee, se
meseter exams committee, com
mittee on student affairs and
committee on student conduct.
Asks For Representative
The Council is asking for a
representative to attend these
faculty meetings, to have no vote
but to have a voice for student
opinion.
A letter will be sent to Pro
fessor Worcester requesting the
student representation.'
Barbara Schlect, president of
the house council of the Wo
men's Residence halls, appeared
before the Council to "plead" for
dorm representation on the or
ganization. Marilyn Campfield, Coed
Counselors president, spoke be
fore the Council last week in be
half of Coed Counselors repre
sentation on the governing body.
Council Plans
Tentative Council plans as of
last week, included having a
Coed Counselors representative
replace the dorm member under
the new constitution representa
tion. Sue Gorton and Marie Man
gold, members of the house
council of the dorm, also pre
sented arguments in defense of
the dorm representation to the
Council members.
Miss Schlect said that through
the dorm counselors, the Resi
dence halls have a greater con
tact with the freshmen women
than do the Coed Counselors.
She emphasized that the
"opinions and problems of the
freshmen women" are repre
sented by the dorm counselors,
who are represented on the
house council, because of a "con
tinual "process of association with
the freshmen counselees."

Investijration
Of Directory
A survey arising out oi the

In order to find the difficulties
that made early Directory releasa
impossible, Wilcox queried sev
eral sources for information.
Reasons for Delay. ,
In questioning the editor of the
publication, Helen Vitek, Wilcox
was given these reason for late
ness: 1. Change of editors.
2. Card difficulties encoun
tered due to non-employment of
IBM lists which have been used
in the past.
3. Little cooperation from ad
minstration or faculty and too
much red tape. '
4. Incorrectly filled out cards
that students are asked to fill out
during registration. There are
many who do not record the right
addresses and phone numbers.
Reason number two, said Miss
Vitke, was considered as the main
reason for the delay. This year,
the religious cards filled out by
students at last spring's registra
tion, were used to compile the
Directory list.
However this method became
unworkable since several of the
pastors who -received the .cards
first, did not turn them in On the
deadline. The religious ca-is
were distributed to 25 or more
different places and it was due
to the late return from most of
these that slowed the directory
process.
Cards Held Up Work.
The religious cards were used
in place of the IBM lists. Used
previously the IBM lists had
proven to be inaccurate and ex
pensive. It cost $150 to use the
lists.
Reason number four, stated
Miss Vitek, was responsible for
J?Ji!id0L S?
lishers with their information.
This car would be passed out at
reei.tra,;- procedure with the
other cards.
