Union Survey
Students9 Favorite Magazines
A magazine poll is being taken
by Union committee workers to
determine what magazines should
be purchased for use in the
Union Book Nook.
Since Monday students have
been asked to fill out question
naires about their favorite pub
lications. Questionnaires
The questionnaires contain the
names of 79 magazines, which
are divided into 16 classifications.
Students are asked to check one
magazine which they would pre
fer from each group.
Marilyn Moomey, chairman of
the Union house and office com
mittee and in charge of Book
Nook activities, asks the coop
eration of every student in fill
ing out the questionnaires.
Magazines now available in the
Book Nook, which is located in
the room directly north of the
Crib, are the following:
Life, Time, Saturday Evening
Post, New Yorker, Reader's Di
gest, Ladies' Home Journal, Bet
ter Homes and Gardens, Holiday,
Fortune, American, Ebony and
Look.

State Chicken
Situation Better
In spite of the complaints
often heard from college students
who are planning to go back to
the farm about the local "chick"
situation, back on the farm Ne
braskans are getting better
chicks.
Poultry specialists at the Uni
versity give the credit to re
search and the National Poultry
Improvement Plan. Sixty-nine
Nebraska hatcheries took part
in the plan during the past year.
The hatcheries have a capacity
of more than six and a half mil
lion eggs.
Through the cooperation of
state and federal agencies, the
poultry industry and farmers,
the poultrymen say, farmers now
can buy healthier chicks which
develop into better laying hens.
Main emphasfs of the plan is the
production of chicks free of the
poultry plague pullorum dis
ease. And figures show there
has been considerable progress.
In 1945, more than 4 per cent of
the 104,000 Nebraska birds tested
showed signs of pullorum dis
ease. Last year out of a half million
birds tested 1.17 per cent re
acted to the pullorum test.
During the past 14 years the
average rate of lay of Nebraska
hens has increased 40 eggs a
year. Specialists give credit to
breeding and the application of
scientific developments in nutri
tion and management.

The best in brass literature
will be presented by the Univer

in the Union ballroom.
The University Brass choir is
the only musical organization of
its kind in the midwest; .there
are only three others in the
United States. The choir is un
usual because it is composed of
only brass instruments.
Origin
Brass choirs are not new in
novations in the musical world.
Brass instrumental music was
very popular during the 16th
and 17th centuries. It was not
until the rise of the violin as an
artistic instrument that the brass
instruments ceased to be used
as an independent group.
The concert will show how
much brass instrumental music
has progressed since the days
when silver cornet bands played
almost exclusively marches with
perhaps a 'waltz or an operatic
selection.
The University Brass choir
was first organized as a unit of
the University's ROTC symphonic
band. Now, this 37-piece ensem
ble has earned for itself a special
place in the University's musical
organizations.
One of the numbers which the
ensemble will play is a symphony
composed especially for brass
choir by Victor Ewald, and the
three-movement "Suite in A
Major" by McClay.
John Blyth, assistant professor
in piano at the University, will
be soloist with the ensemble in
two numbers: "Dreams of
Olwen" by Williams, and "Prayer
and Dream Pantomine," by
Humperdinck.
Trombone Quartet
Also featured will be a trom
bone quartet playing "Trombone
Troubadours" by Bennett. Mem
bers of this quartet are: Robert
Van Voorhis, John Thorin, Rob
ert McPherson and Norman
Rasmussen.
Dean Killion, music depart
ment staff member, is conductor
of the Brass choir. He will be
assisted by Robert Stepp, in
structor in brass instruments at
the University and former Brass
choir conductor. The concert
will be free of charge.
It will be sponsored by Union
convocations and hospitality
committee, chairman is Hugh
Folmer.
L-o-chairmen of the coffee
hour are Jo LaShelle and Jack
Greer. Harriet Cook, Jo Owen,
Alice Stehly, Don Wormky, and
Janet Nuss will serve.

Alarm Clock Ring Familiar to All;
Various Types Awaken Students
"For heaven's sake, turn that
darn thing off!"
This cry has a familiar ring
so does that alarm clock! It shat
ters the silence of many a room
on campus when "Old Sol" begins
to peek from his
homp on thp
eastern horizon.
The amazing feature about the
"thing" is that it can withstand
almost any type of beating that
the torture book describes.
Whether they are frozen in cakes
of ice or thrown against stone
Walls, their watchword is still
"dependable."
Although these "dingers" are
dependable, their sure-fire effect
is sometimes doubtful. During I

Early Technique
One of the earliest schools of
thought was to wake up the per-
son no matter what the cost. The
rubber hammer technique arose
from this idea.
As time went on, evolution
came in the form of a clock
equipped with a rubber hose de
signed to fit around the sleeper's
neck. When the alarm went off,
the victim found himself drenched
in a deluge from the tubelike
structure.

the most effective way of starting
the morning off right was to yank

Then for a jolt, there's the from the bed? Putting them un
